1. The
inconsistency of Shahid Afridi and Imran Nazir prompted former fast bowler
Aaqib Javed Pakistan
2. Former
captain Zaheer Abbas and leg spinner Abdul Qadir were surprised at the decision
to exclude all-rounder Abdul Razzaq from the playing Eleven.
3. Former
fast bowler Sikander Bakht views about Afridi and called for dropping other
senior players in the side as well. "Its time for a change and drop Imran,
Afridi, Kamran Akmal, Shoaib Malik, and ensure they don't come back
again."
4. "I don't think Abdul Razzaq
has been treated fairly and given the respect he deserves as a senior player
with many match-winning performances to his credit," Qadir said.
5. Abbas said: “the captain Mohammad
Hafeez had made some poor decisions, leaving out Razzaq being one of them along
with not trying Kamran Akmal as opener.”

England beat India to seal 3-0 series win
Saturday, 17 September 2011
CARDIFF: England defeated India by six wickets in a rain-affected match here Friday to complete a 3-0 one-day series victory over the reigning world champions.
India looked to have posted a formidable total after piling up 304-6 off their 50 overs, with Virat Kohli lashing a superb century and veteran Rahul Dravid contributing 69 in his farewell one-dayer.
However sporadic rain showers delayed the start of the England run chase at Sophia Gardens, and when play finally resumed England had been set a revised Duckworth-Lewis target of 270 to win in 40 overs.
England captain Alastair Cook and number three Jonathan Trott both contributed half centuries before debutant Jonny Bairstow slashed an unbeaten 41 with Ravi Bopara 36 not out to steer the hosts to victory.

India denies visa to Pak-born Aus cricketer
Thursday, 11 August 2011
SYDNEY: Pakistan-born Australian batsman Usman Khawaja on Tuesday said he was being refused a visa into India for next month's Champions League Twenty20 tournament because of his country of birth.
Khawaja vented his anger on social media site Twitter, saying India's visa department "need to sort their issues out".
"Refusing to let me travel to India as an Australian, because I wasn't born here. Wow," wrote the 24-year-old.
In an exchange with his Portuguese-born New South Wales team-mate Moises Henriques, Khawaja said it "wasn't that I wasn't born here but where I was, brother".
Cricket Australia (CA) confirmed that Khawaja's visa had been held up by officials at the Indian High Commission (embassy) but said they were confident of resolving the issue before the tournament.
"There has been a stoppage in the system at the Indian High Commission in Australia with Usman's application," CA spokesman Philip Pope told AFP.
"Cricket NSW and Cricket Australia are seeking to understand the detail behind the stoppage with our colleagues at the Indian High Commission."
Pope said the cricketing body had a long-standing relationship with the Indian mission and "we generally find that we resolve our issues mutually, so we'll work through this once we've understood the detail".
"I can't give you a timeline of when it will be resolved, but I'm confident given our history and our relationship that we will resolve this as soon as possible," he said.
Khawaja, the first Muslim to wear the baggy green for Australia and also a qualified pilot, is on the 20-man long list for the NSW Twenty20 side, of which 15 will ultimately be sent.
The promising young left-hander made his Test debut for Australia in the fifth match of the Ashes series in Sydney in January, signing with Derbyshire later that month for the English domestic season. (AFP)

Mendis makes T20 history as Sri Lanka win series 2-0
PALLEKELE, Sri Lanka: Ajantha Mendis became the first bowler to bag six wickets in a Twenty20 international as Sri Lanka clinched the series 2-0 against Australia with an eight-run win in the second match Monday.
The unorthodox spinner finished with 6-16 off four overs as Australia lost their way after an explosive start provided by Shane Watson, who hammered a 24-ball 57 with five sixes and six fours.
Australia, who lost the first match by 35 runs, were eventually restricted to 149-9, after the hosts made 157 at the Pallekele International Stadium.
Sri Lanka were indebted to opener Mahela Jayawardene (86 off 63 balls) for posting a competitive total before Mendis ended Australia's early flourish.
Angelo Mathews also caught the eye for Sri Lanka with his key role in David Warner's dismissal off Mendis as he held a superb catch in the deep, but was about to step over the boundary line before relaying the ball to Jayawardene.
Watson dominated a 71-run stand for the opening wicket with Warner, but his dismissal in the sixth over triggered a collapse which saw Australia lose four wickets in the space of four runs.
Sri Lanka were earlier strongly placed at 121-3 after 14 overs before paceman John Hastings rallied his team to eventually finish with 3-14 off four tight overs.
Fast bowler Brett Lee was the other main wicket-taker with 3-39, including two wickets in the last over.
Jayawardene dominated Australia's attack with exciting strokeplay, smashing one six and 12 fours in his sixth half-century in Twenty20 internationals.
He survived on 82 when he was caught off a Lee full-toss in the last over, but it was ruled a no-ball as it was above the waist. He fell in the same over, caught in the deep going for a big shot.
Sri Lanka, electing to bat after winning the toss, lost skipper Tillakaratne Dilshan in the third over before being steadied by Jayawardene.
Dilshan, who hit an unbeaten century in the opening match, contributed just four runs this time before being trapped leg-before by Lee.
Jayawardene then added 43 for the second wicket with Dinesh Chandimal (13) and 46 for the fourth with Kumar Sangakkara, who made a 16-ball 24.
