1st ODI cricket - Pakistan v Australia on Wed April 22, 2009

14:30 local, 10:30 GMT

Dubai Sports City Cricket Stadium 

Pakistan Squad (probable) 1 Salman Butt, 2 Nasir Jamshed, 3 Younis Khan, 4 Misbah-ul-Haq, 5 Shoaib Malik, 6 Shahid Afridi, 7 Kamran Akmal (wk), 8 Sohail Tanvir, 9 Umar Gul, 10 Shoaib Akhtar, 11 Saeed Ajmal.  

Nasir Jamshed is a young player in Pakistan side. He just played 9 ODIs and his strike rate is very high of 103.62. From the nine matches he cashed 343 runs and highest scored is 74. He debuted with international cricket alongside Zimbabwe 21 January 2008 and scored 61runs and the last match was along with Bangladesh on 4 July 2008 scored 52 runs and was not-out. I am confused why he was kept out long time from the international cricket.

Kick-off time: 2000 BST

Arsenal is played a very positive football and preformed well in the Champions league when beat the opposition in both match first and second leg match. Team Manager Arsene Wenger’s is eyes to reach in the top of the Premier League and he want to use the same squad that played in the Champions League. Yes, he can expect it because some days ago everyone thought that it would be difficult Arsenal to be sent in the top four.

Although Liverpool beat to Chelsea seriously in the recent Champions League and kicked out from the semi final but they hope to take lead in the match against Arsenal. Liverpool captain Steve Gerrard will not appear in the today’s match but Rafael Benitez is hopeful to take series lead. This is a quote "We have quality in the squad and I am sure we can still play nice football, score goals and win games, whoever is in the team."

Injury hits in both teams when some key players will not appear in the match Arsenal vs Liverpool. My opinion is about their mentality that Arsenal have to be get ready to take on Man United on 28 - 29 April 2009 and 05 - 06 May 2009 Champions League semi finals and Liverpool will try confidently to hold the position in the Premier League.

Pakistan v Australia last 10 matches review and next ODI Schedule

Just after a day, the one-day schedule of Pakistan-Australia series is going to hold in UAE in stead of Pakistan. Australia played last one-day internationals at Lahore Pakistan in 1998. After ten year Australia is going to visit Pakistan to play ODI series. Australia last tour of UAE was in 1993/94 to play Pepsi Austral-Asia Cup. Austral-Pakistan played a one-day series in 2002 season when Pakistan won 2-1 which was held in Pakistan in Australia.

 

Pakistan played last one-day series at Sydney in Australia in 2005 when Pakistan beat to the host. Among the last 10 matches no match was hosted by Pakistan. 6 matches were arranged in Australia and two matches were held on Amstelveen, Netherlands Videocon Cup final and in the 3^rd match. In Johannesburg they played ICC World Cup - 4th match, Pool A match and other was in Nairobi PSO Tri-Nation Tournament – final.

 

The statistics is support totally on the side of the Australia. They got 6 wins and Pakistan had to be satisfied with single victory. PSO Tri-Nation Tournament’s final came to conclusion with no result and Videocon Cup was abandoned.

 

At this moment Pakistan and Australia both are not in well form. Australia lost both one-day international series along side South Africa recently. In the gap of two series, they played matches with the neighboring county New Zealand. Pakistan is not also in good form they had some tour before the Sri Lanka tours.
