Aamer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE).
The Kangaroos won the 50-over format by 2 games to 1; whereas, the Green Shirts bounced back in style to clinch the T20 battle by the same margin.
In the ODIs, Pakistan decided to open with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasir-Jamshed-c78752, with the two doing exceedingly well. The left-hander (Jamshed), who was returning to international cricket after missing out on the Sri Lankan tour earlier in the year due to a
hand injury, impressed one and all, scoring a match-winning 97 in the second match at Abu Dhabi.
For the T20s however, Jamshed was demoted to bat at number three, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sialkot-c842 Stallions, coming into the fold. The 30-year-old failed to make an impression, managing merely 23 runs in three innings.
While speaking to Pakpassion, the former left-handed opening batsman criticised the management’s decision and wants Jamshed to partner the T20 skipper in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
"The Hafeez/http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasir-c78728 opening partnership is working in one day internationals. I don’t understand why there was a need to change that in the twenty over format,” said Sohail. “In twenty over cricket you are relying on a good start and therefore it’s imperative
that you send in a pairing that you can rely upon.”
Commenting on the Green Shirts’ chances in the illustrious event, the former Test captain expressed that the senior players will have to lead the team from the front, if http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 is to give a tough time to some of the event’s bigger teams.
"On paper Pakistan is a strong team heading into the World T20, but cricket is not played on paper. If the Pakistani big names come to the party, are allocated proper roles in the team, then perform in accordance with their roles then Pakistan can have a
chance," he feels.
Pakistan are placed in group ‘D’ along with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747, with their opening fixture scheduled to be played on September 23rd against the Black Caps at Pallekele.
