At Providence you can't play a set of pacers... don't see him playing ahead of Pretorius or Shepy.

The batting is the worry.

They got Brooks on the bench, they should give him a chance. Don't think he will do worse than the Oz and Moeen at the top.

Moeen or Hassan Khan should fake an injury so they could bring Iftikar into the squad. He could offer some off-spin and bat in the middle.

It's like the management team clueless though.. same crap over and over they doing... they are unable to think for themselves.

Not sure why they keep pushing Sampson and Shepy down the order. Last night they batted at 9 and 10. At least one of them should be batting higher... they also need to stop with the Motie nonsense, he is not a top order batsman, yes he gives you some runs one or two times.. but he is not a top order batsman!

Maybe, the owners of the team are the ones that determine the composition of the team. IJS.

Who TF is Hasan Khan? Who scouted this fcuking nobody?

And why is he being selected every game ahead of guys like Iftikar and Brooks?

Another thing. The moment I saw Moeen blocking long hops in that first over I knew GAW were in trouble. The fcuking guy shows zero intent to score in the power-play overs which puts pressure on the other guy and the middle order.
