yeah good on canada, really give us a scare!
and thne our compeltey terrible showing at new zealand
Akmal cost us that match by key drops esspecialy ross taylor, whom got dropped on 0 and 4 and then he went to score like 128 and a good number of those runs came in the last 5 overs or so and so balling wasnt good either, and then batting was horrid too, i mean Umar Gul was one of our better batsman, and this Pakistan team has 8 very capable batsman supposedly (Gul not included in this 8)
so i would maybe experiment a bit with zimbabwe, cause so far, (each out of 10)
Keeping has been a 2, terrible mistakes against Sri Lanka and Canada, and times those by 10 against New Zealand
Openers has been a 2 as well, these 2 guys were supposed to be in form, Hafeez and Shehzhad were supposed to be key guys, at least Hafeez has been bowling alright, and me thinks Shehzhads field has been saving him tho he did squat against new zealand, so maybe get him out of there
Fast bowling, probably a 6, a lot of it is keeping faults too, i mean if shoaib had gotten ross taylor early he woulda bowled differently, there could be alot of improvement, but it also could be alot worse, Once gul gets to his optimal form and Shoaib can keep snagging wickets and all razzaq has to do is keep a good economy, we can be very successful
Spinning, been an 8, Afridi really been bowling well, rehman is just too safe, doesnt really scare batsmen, its ok for hafeez to do that, but when youre brought in as a specialist spinnerm you got to do more, id rather see Ajmal at least he can attack
Middle order batting probbaly 6 or 7, and 5 of those points go to Misbah himself, need more contributions from other guys, Umar Akmal has been streaky, and Younis khan was good for like a game... we need more outta these guys, cant depend on misbah every game
so forzimbabwe, id like to see a new lineup, basically just so i can know we have other options (give shoaib a rest)
Hafeez/Shehzhad (probbaly hafeez just cause he can also be a bowling option)
Asad Shafiq (guy deserves a shot, technically sound batsman, ithink he is a very solid option for opening, give him a shot!)
Abdul Razzaq (this guy is just being wasted at 8)
Misbah (why change the only batsman thats been good on the team consistently!)
Younis Khan (hopefully the younis-misbah combo can be the foundation once more)
Umar Akmal (give him the gloves, we need to see if we have other options for keeping just in case)
Shahid Afridi (this guy is way overdue for a world cup score, he has to keep bowling the way he is right now)
Umar Gul
Wahab Riaz
Saeed Ajmal
thats 10, so i guess give hafeez and shehzhad both a shot again maybe one of them a little lower, i want to see razzaq at one down, and kami aint good enough to be on the team as just a batsman, im willing to give him another chance, he has let his team and country down big time, i expect a big game from him as 'sorry' in his next gmae with the gloves, but it shouldnt be against zimbabwe we gotta warm up some other guys just incase
