Aus Vs India (7th May)

I hope India destroys Aussies. I will be happy if anyone destroy them.

One of the few problems with this team is that it is extremely un balanced. Our bowling attack is much weaker than the last two world cups and the team lacks an innings stablizing experienced middle order batsman. Last but not the least, our captain is way too aggressive and i have huge doubts about his leadership qualities.

Just another average tournament and the problems of the team for Pakistan Cricket Fan

I disagree with your statement

OUR team is perfectly BALANCED..... you prove its unbalanced?

Our bowling attack is much weaker than the last two world cups

our bowling is still very good only one weaklink which can be filled with WISE bowling changes....
AAMIR ,AFRIDI , AJMMAL , ASIF
and other 2 bowlers can be used wisely Razzaq and hafeez according to the pitch!!

and the team lacks an innings stablizing experienced middle order batsman.

MISBAH is the perfect innings stablizer and he shown his good form in last match

you are right,but I would say the game with aussies will be 50-50

....India has come very strong these two years..Aussies have tasted it already..still they are the true professionals..so they can never be under estimated.

I disagree with your statement

Ok lets see... we have Hafeez comming in at number three who by no means is a natural number three and has opened for most of his career. At number 4 we have Misbah who has played lower in the order and again not a natural at number 4. We have Umar Akmal at 5 who should come in at least one position higher in the batting order. Afridi comes in at 6 and then we have Fawad Alam who only god knows what he's is doing in the team when he's not a specialist batsman and is seldom used as as bowler. We than have Abdul Razzaq at 8 who is being played as a specialist batsman . As far as bowling is concerned, we essentially have only two pacers (Out of them one is horribly out of form), one regular spinner in Ajmal, with Afridi and Hafeez as part timmers(who have been getting hammered all around). How else can you call a team unbalanced?

our bowling is still very good only one weaklink which can be filled with WISE bowling changes....
AAMIR ,AFRIDI , AJMMAL , ASIF
and other 2 bowlers can be used wisely Razzaq and hafeez according to the pitch!!

Key word here is "WISE" and the display we've seen in the last two matches has been anything but WISE change on bowling from Afridi.

MISBAH is the perfect innings stablizer and he shown his good form in last match

Aweee come on dude...he's not and we all know it. He has never played above the number 5 position even in ODI's. He is not a good strike rotator, runs accumulator or gap finder.

Well, if Afridi will won the toss then he should bat first.
He should bat first!
