We should not go with more than two pacers. We need to have 3 full time spinners. If we bat first, we should play it like a test. Anything above 230 should be a winning score because of the Afghan's problems with spin. But, smart batting will be the key.

Ideal squad. Gazi needs to perform today

[simon]

lol, few days ago many were jmping about Nasir the next in line for captaincy, now no one daring to pronounce his mame, shows how easily we get carried away with our imagination.

Anyway, why not Naeem, he is a senior player, captained in. domestic.
Any one but Razzaq, no way man

And when was that.

[Vua]

I bet we will go with the same UNCHANGED lineup, as BCB doesn't like improving things by picking better players.
And, we will lose to AFghanistan

[naim519]

Is there going to be dew in the afternoon? Anyone with news?

"1 bonus point for any team that achieves victory with a run rate 1.25 times that of the opposition."

Woudn't nasir make a better choice as a captain?

First and foremost he needs to get his form back.
Anyone can be made captain, but the question is, is he capable of running a team as a captain?

[epitaph]

Form aside, he's only 22 and is relatively new to the NT scene, so no. He's still boyish and hardly emits an aura of a leader.
