Pak thrash Kenya

Pak are 11/1, having lost Hafeez, who was caught Waters bowled Otieno for 9.

Now Kamran Akmal, the wicket keeper has joined Shehzad.

Ajmal and Riaz were not included in the Eleven. There is nothing to worry about, as Pak bats right upto No 8.

Now they are 12/2, having lost their second wicket. Shehzad was caught Kamande, the skipper, bowled Odoyo.

These two wickets have put great pressure on the Pak, which is already pressurised. They have included maverick bowler, Shoib Akhtar, whose fitness is a question mark. In fact, Moin Khan was angry that Waqar, the manager, had questioned Shoaib's fitness. Now this is an opportunity for the great fast bowler to prove that he is fully fit.

Now the Pakis are consolidating, even though on a slow start. Kamran Akmal, known for his lusty hits, is on 36 and Younus Khan is on 19. The Paki strategy also seems to be not to lose wickets in the first 30 overs, a strategy outlined by Ponting. All teams follow this strategy. It was only Sri Lanka with Jaya and Kalu who adopted a different strategy. " Hit them, hit them and hit them" said Jayasuria and more than 100 runs used to come in the first 15 overs. You cannot follow that strategy when you lose early wickets !

Pak thrashed Kenya by 205. The Kenyans could not rise to the occasion.
