Can't understnd, how in the world we want to make do with only 5 specialist batsman!!!! (assuming this is the team)
with due respect, Rana is just not good enough to be at 6. It is such an important postion..... and needs some skills, Rana has shown a lot of guts.. not sure about the skills though....
Australia, arguably the best one day side plays with no less than 7 specialist batsman.. they have the liberty of having a WK batsman and one genuine allrounder in Symonds.. even though that 10 over is divided among 3 (lehmann, clark and symonds)..... and we are playing with 5 batsman, 5 bowlers (assuming Rana is mainly bowler).. Who plays with 5 specialist bowlers these days? especially, when we have the likes aftab, rajin, ashraful's more than useful bowling!!!!! Against India we had rafique coming in early as a pinch-hitter..can't see that option.. In fact without rafique and Mashrafi.. lower order looks thin in both accumulating or accelarating.....
