Zimbabwe 412 & 129/8 (51.0 ov)
Pakistan 466
Zimbabwe lead by 75 runs with 2 wickets remaining.
I think, if Zimbabwe can post 150 lead game would be really interesting... chasing 150 on this wicket wouldnt be fun.
Also, would like to see your comment on new Pakistani bowler cheema, is he really for future ( only 31 yrs old)
Missing Asad Shafiq ...wondering why?
and political situation in cricket... Shoaib Malik is back
waqar is leaving... etc

Shoaib Malik and sohail tanveer should have played, not advisable to debut so many players. Failure to dislodge tailenders reflects this.

I dont think that cheema is our future but we want victory. test is a big chance for him and he profs. we have many other paceres. such as GUL, WAHAB, AND S.TAVIR. tanvir should be play in ODIs . and 150 will be a gud score. and that pitch is not for fast bowlers. what you say about shoaib malik.

As as nation we have become so sadistic that even when there is reason for a joy we feel gloomy and tend to crawl back into our grottos!!!!
Come on guys, cheer up, say something good about the Pak cricket team....it was only a fortnight ago when Bangladesh team was beaten by Zimbabwe all ends up....

Good game by youngester...
i would like to see some 19-20 yrs old kid then Cheema and Tanvir ( the right arm bowler whe had in west indies )
who are around 30 + age,
Sohail Tanver is good for one days, can be our next Abdul Razak. Shoaib Malik.... cant bat cant bowl, why he is even in team?
Team need
One express bowler with young legs
Leg break bowler
hopefully will see a new opening pair like Amir sohain/Saeed anwer in my life time

Good question, I wonder if he being from Karachi has anything to do with it.

lets hope not bcz i dont believe such things in cricket.... and if such things is happening then how come there is no quota system for our Sindhi bhi...

I dont see anything wrong if quota is implemented in sports, it will be nice to see players representing each province accordingly.

Not the quota but merit should rule Pak sports, in fact, every where.....we have already suffered more than our fair share by the hand of quota-system....
players should be selected on the basis of skills, talent, techniques and progress on the ground.....we should also not forget to keep veterans in team until they pass on their valuable experience unto young brigade.....a blend of old & young (more young players than veterans, of course) players will bode well for the team....
those criticizing Pak team for not winning by large margin against a minnow like Zimbabwe should not forget that Pak team hardly plays any games and most of the time they are out of practice of real thing....we must remember that no matter how big a player is he still needs regular match practice and continuity of activities....

sorry no luck for merit.

Merit can be used within the quota.

Would you please explain how...? can we pick best players from Karachi ahead of a punjabi player even if karachiwala is not good at international level? thats what your idea?

@Expakistani......to introduce merit in cricket selection first we have to set PCB's house in order by appointing professionals who could run PCB the way a national cricket board is supposed to run.....
Only then we will have any hope of having merit being introduced in selection....until that happens, Mama, Chacha, Susser, Paisa and Sychophancy will continue ruling the cricket selection in Pakistan.
Even the critics shout on top of their lungs not because they want good things brought to PCB but to secure a lucrative job in it......Sarfaraz Nawaz is a recent example who did not miss any chance to malign PCB, selectors and players....ever since he got the mouthful crumbs from PCB to chew all his boldness and sincerity to nation has gone!!!
