[rafiq]

pundit, you have done some serious weather research! i would want to wait until some results in namibia to see what is in the selectors crystal ball as far as lineups. i am going with 2 lineups as in the other thread - 4 pacers and a 3 pacer+sujon/or/rafiq combo. I'll let the experts here tell us how to take advantage of the conditions, but just 2 thoughts for now:

- which opponent traditionally doesn't play spin well (in the case of SA, does it really matter who lines up for us)? Put rafiq in against WI, slower pitch anyway.

- i have one thing to say about the kenya match: HIT THEM WITH FEARSOME PACE AND BLOW THEM AWAY!!:D
