**Official** Asia Cup 2012

There is no point. Both will end their careers in 2-3 years time. What we need is to develop someone into the role. I was hoping for Azhar Ali but he can't play ODI's due to his incredibly slow strike rate.

How you doin guys?

 

[smash84]

we are waiting for some team to join us in the finals

Asif would have destroyed India on this pitch.

Asif was a world class bowler but bowling on a flat odi pancake was not his strength. I think Pakistan would be more in the game if the final pitch vs India is a 240 track then a 320+ track.

Afridi will definitly be around for the 2015 WC.So appointing him as the captain and letting him develop a side for next WC makes perfect sense.Misbah however,will not be around.

Even if Afridi isn't around,which is highly unlikely,I think the captaincy will go to Hafeez.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Asif has a done really well on Subcontinent tracks.

How you doin guys?

Enjoy it until your next Test series.

Destroyed? The **** never got a 4 wicket haul in ODI cricket in his whole career.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Am I right in assuming that Asif wouldn't have featured in any of Pakistan's games in the UAE because of his drug offences in Dubai(?) ?

I think so. IIRC Asif is banned from entering the UAE.

Ban got overturned.

Ban on Pakistani cricketers are much like those on CWers.

So Yuraj was your fifth bowler yet the attach wasn't laughable

Yuvraj performed well in the World Cup. He bowled like a good spinner. He had good flight and turned the ball regularly. It is so bloody wrong to look at career records when assessing the performance of an attack in one series. 15 wickets at 25.13 was a great performance.

I am talking about Indian bowling attack in general.

and as far as the world cup goes... it like saying you pick one of (Yusaf, Raina, Jadja) as your fifth bowler and he performs well in one series, that still doesn't mean that your attack is good.

And yet you consider Morne Morkel better than Broad.

I think you misread the point I made. It had nothing to do with assessing someone's career performance.
