I totally agree with Muzy. I heard his recent interview on GEO...he seems a little laid back, if I was him, I would do a hell lot more to secure my place. However, even if he wants to bowl, what if the captain doesnt let him, then what? He is stuck with just the batting and fielding! [Muzy--where are you woman? dont see you on msn! drop me an email!]

As of now Younus should be sitting out when it comes to batting form. Doesn't make sense for a captain to drop a player who has done better then him this year. I think Malik is a good ODI player. He should be back in the team with Kamran Akmal moved to the top of the order.

Guys it was fair decision and i support YK on this one. we were 0-2 when M.yousuf came in and played a great knock. if it wasnt the run out, he would have made a 100 cuz he looked in great touch and played aggressive aswell where as if malik was playing do u think from 0-2 we would have goten to 64-3. i dont think so. so its fair decision.

i really really dont understand the point of playing with 2 regular openers just for the sake of having 2 openers..........our team combination does not work that way.......i think either kamran akmal or afridi should be opening with 1 opener (ideally khalid latif)......and have malik in the middle order
