Although we have won the last couple of ODI's, I think the batting order is wrong. Sending players like Younis or Hafeez before him late in the order is pointless, they don't have the hitting power at the end of an innings. For me, you need two of either Razzaq, Malik or Afridi to be batting at 6 & 7. It's pointless having class batsmen like Inzi and Youhanna so late when most of the innings is over. I thought it cost us 20 runs in the last game even though we won, and long term it's not likely to work.

Bowling wise, I would like to see Rao brought in to replace Kaneria or Younis depending on the pitch. Kaneria's a great attack bowler but he lacks savvy when it comes to bowling in a ODI situation.

Other than that of course, I'm very happy that we won. I still think we have to play our best cricket so look forward to some improvement.
