Pakistan team:
 Imran Farhat, +Kamran Akmal, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Yousuf,
 *Inzamam-ul-Haq, Younis Khan, Abdul Razzaq, Yasir Arafat,
 Mohammad Sami, Mohammad Asif, Faisal Iqbal.

India team:
 G Gambhir, *R Dravid, Yuvraj Singh, M Kaif, SK Raina, +MS Dhoni,
 RR Powar, AB Agarkar, Z Khan, RP Singh, S Sreesanth.

 India seem all set to play Zaheer Khan and Ramesh Powar, the
        offspinning allrounder, while Pakistan will also look to give
        their young guns a chance
       The early news from the National Stadium in Karachi is that India
        have won the toss and chosen to field
       Rahul Dravid certainly has had his share of luck in this series
       India have rested Sachin Tendulkar and Irfan Pathan
       There will be some assistance earlier on for the fast bowlers but
        this is still a good one-day track and you can expect plenty of
        runs
       Pakistan are giving a game to Rao Iftikhar Anjum, Imran Farhat and
        Yasir Arafat

India won the toss and elected to field.  Then why is Murali the supersub?

[fineleg]

We always select the sub for the eventuality that we lose toss!
Plus L.Siva apparently said that Kartik can bat! (apparently as much as L.Siva himself!) What a buffoon.

[dextrous]

lol

khan's career is about to end

[justforkix]

Even then we should have used Powar as supersub because he can both bat and bowl !!!

[fineleg]

From the other DG!
The Friggin ZAK!!!...ALL I NEED is for his SORRY BUTT to be kicked out of the Indian Squad once and for all....the disgrace to Indian team...the mongrel.

[fineleg]

Can someone throw ZAK to the dogs right away!!! Take him out of my sight! The pathetic loser!
AA soon to join that list...

CLEARLY shows the need to get the NEXT-GEN bowlers...VRV, Munaf, ABC, Yomahesh, XYZ, Ahmad..whoever.

Dexo -  Sreesanth, you have not seen anything yet - he is a great bowler. could become one of the finest fast bowler
from India!  mark my words!

If they are managed well - bolwing coach, proper training etc. Otherwise, they (RPS, SS) will be going down the drain like Nehra and Zaheer in a couple of years.

powar to mota gya hai

Don't know if anyone has pointed this out but with this last win in Pakistan, India are guaranteed to finish in the top six in the ICC ODI rankings on April 1. That means, we don't have to play the qualifying round of the Champion's trophy irrespective of the outcome of the SL-Ban series, the SL-Pak series or the first two games of the Ind-Eng series. That leaves England, Pakistan, SL and NZ to battle it out for the remaining 3 spots that are still up for grabs.
