afridi has been showing poor batting performance since long time; he should improve or take one day rest to give other youngster chance!!
@Zia: You nailed it. Cheema and Sohail Tanveer, spearheading the Pakistan pace attack is the biggest joke of Pakistan's cricket history. They have always been pedestrian, shine at the club level and then get picked up for the national team.
Never seen such a toothless Pak pace attack!!!
Misbah is going to ruin the team, he is not giving Junaid or Anwar any chance. Blaming everything or middle order batsmen, ignoreing the failure of Hafeez which has been happening quite often
i think playing Abdur Rehman instead of Sohail Tanveer would be a better option. Cheema despite being young bowled with courage and except for two comparatively expensive over was good. He could at least trouble the batsmen unlike Tanveer who was wavered and cleared lost stamina after bowling three overs.
it is of interest that most attention is being paid to batting failure especially in lower order.Pakistan,s fabled pace attack has vanished. it seems to have capitulated given the most runs. responsible for the current years debacle. So called talent is nowhere to be seen.
What a waste of time .. These are ""squad" not teams
Abdul Rehman should be playing the 2nd and 3rd match...Cheema is useless..
