	I DO NOT RECALL THE NAME BUT THE NZ CAPTAIN BEFORE WRIGHT TOOK 
	OVER (HE WAS AN ALLROUNDER , CAME IN AT #6) MIGHT BE A BETTER 
	CHOICE THAN JEFF CROWE.

	THIS TEAM HAS ONLY FOUR SPECIALIST BOWLERS. I THINK SOMEONE
	LIKE QADIR OR MUSHTAQ AQIB OR EVEN MUSHTAQ MOHAMMED COULD REPLACE
	ASIF IQBAL OR RAMIZ RAJA. MAYBE EVEN MUDASSAR IN PLACE OF RAMIZ
	COULD PROVIDE THE 5TH BOWLER.
