I'm happy to see that they've picked a team for the type of game it is.
If I had to choose a vice captain I'd go with Snapper or Maddy. Both are proven in this format of the game and would be a much bigger help to Collingwood that Flintoff will.

Why would anyone want to choose a fish as their vice captain? Confused

Awesome, lets hope young players gets chance in Twenty/20.
Looks like Dhoni will be the Captain.

Congrats pakistani selectors!!!! They keept him playing test matches for no good!!! And when h is most neded in T20, he has been dropped!!! Pity pakistan selectors!!
 
How  Mohammad Yousuf would b feeling after his omission? He must be asking himself that whatelse do i need to do to please my selctors that i am a good enough middle order batsman!!
 
T-20 is not AL about slogging!!! Yousuf can easily play with a strike rate of 100 and above and can anchoe the innings!!
 
Inzi already out, no yousuf and no razzaq takes out class and experience off the team!!! They will have to pay big time for this.
 
Razzaq's career might be put to an unnoticed end very slowly, just like they did with Saqlain!!! I will not be surprised if Razzaq opts for ICL!!!

Razzak is like Afridi, except he keeps his head more. So why leave him out!? Him and Afridi would make a frightening lower order.

Razzaq is far better than Afridi!! And suits the T-20!!! But the paki selectors think that his fielding is too bad to kep hi m in the side. true, that he is a pooe fielder but he is good enough to make it up with his batting

Fielding isn't everything. Batting and Bowling are more important to me.

It's somewhat shocking to me that a player as destructive as Razzaq has been excluded from the most destructive version of the game. I can understand the ommission of Yousuf but Razzaq, come on. He can bowl too!

Pakistan squad seems strong, especially their bowlers, they could be a handful. I personally would have taken out Younis and replaced him with Yousuf, a more solid middle order batsmen. Razzaq i must say has had a poor run of form over the past year (although here in england he was destructive making 70 from the last four overs), but i see why theyve left him out, they want to give young all rounders a go.
 
If pakistans bowlers remain fit (shoaib), i expect them to be a real handful in the world cup.

I don't think Monty should have been selected. I've seen Monty interviewed and i don't think he thought for one second he would be.

It's not hard to understand, he can't bat, can't feild and the way 20/20 is played, it could stuff up his test bowling badly.

He has played only seven Twenty20 matches in his career.

Half of you guys have played more than that (admittedly not at the same level, but still...)

Im pretty happy with the Indian squad for the T20 WC.  Dont know if Dhoni is the right choice to lead the side though.

Man as good as Yousuf is equally good in any form of the game> and he has proved that in one day games that he is as classy as he is in the test matches.

 

Remember, you always need a batsman who can hold the innings in the middle and build it, and without Inzamam this was expected only from Yousuf. Younis Khan from me is too overrated a player. He is not an automatic choice even in a one day game, let alone T20!!

 

Yousuf is rightly hurt and disappointed, this is the first time he has been dropped in his 9 year career and that too when he has hit such a purple patch!!! Pity these Pakistani hypocrites!! How on earth can you drop Razzaq from a form of the game that is tailor made for him??? Conspircay!!!!

 Yousuf is incredibly slow between the wickets and a real donkey when fielding.  Whilst I'm sure he can score at a run a ball he'll frustrate the batsman at the other end with his poor running.
  Razzak's omission is a mystery , has he been injured?

   From what I can gather , the more successful bowlers are the spinners and the dibbly dobbly seamers - the quicks tend to go for plenty!  Maybe Pakistan intend to play three spinners in each game - it could be the winning tactic and the reason for Razzak's omission.

Misbahul-Haq included in place of Yousaf. The reason stated by the selector: "We've dropped Yousaf to make room for a younger player". Ironically, Misbah is one year older than Yousaf with a poor record at both forms of game. Just rubbish this.....

And Y Khan.....

Zimbabwe's selectors are not expected to spring any surprises when they name their 15-man squad for the Twenty20 World Championship to be held in South Africa next month.

Although Zimbabwe has staged a domestic Twenty20 competition of sorts, the pool of players available for selection is shallow and so the squad will be based on recent one-day performances.

The only surprise could be the inclusion of Charles Coventry who has not played international cricket for over a year. Coventry, a hard-hitting batsman, is better suited for the Twenty20 game and was named in a provisional 30-man squad that was never made public. Also in that group was Gregory Strydom, who is playing club cricket in England at the moment.

Coventry walked out on Zimbabwe during their tour of the West Indies in May last year after he fell out with coach Kevin Curran and Andy Pycroft, at the time the team manager. He failed to resolve his differences with Curran and never reported for camp ahead of the World Cup, missing out on the prestigious event.

Pakistani fans normally do not affirm PCB!!!
 
Yousuf does run poorly but he bats a bit too well to compensate for his slow running. And lets not forget every team will need one player to consolidate and hold and carry the innings in the middle overs, be it a T20 game!! None other can do it btter than Yousuf in Pakistan.
 
Razaq has not been injured. He has ben dropped as the selectors beleive that he is a poor filder. Which is right. he indeed one of the worst fielders in the tam at the moment. But then, when did we ever have extraordinary fielders? (with a VERY few exceptions).
 
Shame on Pakistan selectors. I co not rule out Team pakistan being bowled out in the T20 game within the 20 overs!!
