Oh! Rana is unfit!!!!!!!

[adeel ahmad]

Its the most recent news that Rana Naved-ul-Hassan is injured and is not available for english tour.The name of the substitute will b announced within 24 hours.
now what! what will happen,is Asif strong enough, mentally, to handle that much pressure in the absence of shoiab and rana.
Rana would b more than threatening in english conditions.He is a natural swing bowler.His out swingers to right handers are very much unplayable in the begining of the inning.

Now,for what I m looking for is ,what would b the pakistan's fast bowling attack.
Are the rest,well enough to contain the english batsmen........?????

Now you know how we are feeling with our injuries.

It would be a better spectacle if both sides were at full strength,shame really.

Highly doubtful - the two main strike bowlers are Akhtar and Rana; without them, the attack consists of Kaneria and Asif, and those two would struggle in conditions which are good for batting, unlike Akhtar and Rana who manage to trouble batsmen even in the most difficult of conditions - Akhtar through pace and guile, Rana through craft.

Rana is in London getting treatment, in a bid to get fit for the tour. I think it's a real shame that Shoaib is injured, and now Rana is struggling. I was highly impressed by both in England's tour of Pakistan, and was looking forward to seeing how our batsmen in England could cope with Shoaib and Rana. While I enjoy seeing England win, I also enjoy a tough contest, and I think the cricket would be better for having Pakistan's top two quicks playing. I still expect Pakistan to have a good battle with England, but the series will be lacking something, with both sides being depleted by injury.

Not really,though rana n shabi r naot there to threaten the english men but in my opinion asif is there to coup with the problem.His natural instincts are very much suitable for the english conditions.With his high arm bowling action he can realy move the ball & his OFF-CUTTERS not to say about them


SO England!Not b so RELAXED!!!!!!!!!!!

England wont stand a chance against pakistan
