    *Official* Zimbabwe v Pakistan Test Series

    Interestingly none of the specialists batters (except Elahi) got out cheaply , yet Pakistan ended up with just 285.I think thats primarily because the last 5 batsmen failed to put up a decent fight.Over the years the tailenders had often rescued the Pakistan team with their batting but lately...

    Who should Captain Pakistan?

    Atleast till the WC the captain should be Waqar, PCB did the wise thing by retaining him as a captain. Inzamam has a fitness problem, infact he was supposed to undergo a surgery which would have put him out of the WC.He had delayed the surgery and is getting steroid injections, still its to be...

    Who should Captain Pakistan?

    In my opinion there isn't any need to change the captain.The team that was skipped by Waqar and that lost to Aus would have met the same fate had it been skipped by any other player, Waqar can hardly be blamed for it. Inzi/Akhter cannot be considered for captaincy as they are injury prone...

    Which youngsters are better out of India and Pakistan?

    That is because you haven't seen the young fast bowler.Problem till the WC will be that with W's around the young pacers won't get a chance, after that things will change. Umer Gul has impressed Clive llyod with his bowling , did well in the junior WC and destroyed Lankan A team recently.Najaf...

    Which youngsters are better out of India and Pakistan?

    I'm not sure whether Imran Nazir would be a part of Pak team in futute.Misbah on the other hand is hardly that young, is around 28 yrs old.Faisal fared poorly after an impressive match, but i can tell you that the guy will get better and has lot of potential! Among the young generation, the...

    Can pakistan qualify for the super-six?

    Lord, I do think that NZ have a good team, infact they can come up with a big surprise in the WC by knocking off Australia ! About India, i think things have changed lately, they are no longer a team that was heavily dependent on one man, i.e Tendulkar.I think even if Sachin gets out...

    Can pakistan qualify for the super-six?

    Well, when the same thing happened with England, it was just sore losers excuses, so I don't see why it should be any different here. And considering your past posts, I can't see you being just an observer! Mark, You have to get English team off the mind over here, i was never a part of...

    Can pakistan qualify for the super-six?

    I thought i was just an observer, how could i come up with an excuse on behalf of the Pak team?? you have also forgotten that Pakistan is right now playing TEST MATCHES, onedayer is a different ball game, and if there is a different Pak team playing a diffenet ball game, then chances are that...

    Shoaib or Hoggard ??

    If by conditions you mean the pitches, then they are very different.In the '70's and '80's the pitches in Pak had some life, now they are totally dead.Indian pitches are very different and they do help their spinners a lot

    *Official* Australia v Pakistan Test Series

    Shoaib has an attitude problem, and he had that from the very beginning.He was first selected to play for Pak in a onedayer match against India in Canada, but was suspended due to indiscipline. However the rest of the team is fine as playing well as a unit, thats a different thing that the...

    *Official* Australia v Pakistan Test Series

    Read this 'The News' has learnt from confirmed sources that Shoaib had complained of a minor back niggle after the second Test and was sent to see a specialist and for tests with Dennis Waight. The tests and examination revealed that he did have a minor back niggle but it was not an injury...

    *Official* Australia v Pakistan Test Series

    The team's pysiotherapist had declared Akhter fit for the match, it was Shoaib that insisted on skipping the match, thats why he has been immediately flown back to Pak(even though another injured player Razzak is still in Sharjah) and will be meeting the PCB boss soon.

    Can pakistan qualify for the super-six?

    NZ have a better OD side than Pak?? that must be joke.Pak have a 80 percent record against them (in the last ten matches). As for consistency, i don't know how you consider NZ as consistent, if at all they are consistent in losing matches. Let have a look at the recent stats of the two...

    *Official* Australia v Pakistan Test Series

    What internal problems?? the same side nearly won the match against Aus, its not a case of infighting and internal problems. I believe the young side never showed the same spirit with which they played the first match, i guess they were demoralised after the loss. Also, its a bad bad idea to...

    Most Destructive Batsman in Onedayer!

    I agree with u on Younis , even afridi is 2-3 years older than his official age BUT it wasn't the same case with Hasan Raza. The guy went through medical check up( basically its a bone scan) that confirmed that he was exactly 14 years of age at the time he got his test cap. Majid Khan should...

    *Official* Australia v Pakistan Test Series

    Good performance by the young Pak team, they lost the match coz of their inexperiance. Pak should drop Sami and bring in Danish for the next test match.Also it would be better if Pakistan go into the match with 6 specialists batsmen as their batting is still weak.Razzak should be dropped, he...

    *Official* Australia v Pakistan Test Series

    Agreed, but i'm too nervous about ur openers, maybe they will prove me wrong That is praise worthy, indeed they have shown good fighting spirit He should have been in the team, though he didn't score much in a practice match against WI, but then even faisal and Nazeer failed in the match...

    *Official* Australia v Pakistan Test Series

    Yeah, a wonderful fightback by Pakistan, but i agree with u over the outcome of the match, Pak will most probably lose the test match.316 is near impossible for a very inexperianced batting line up on a pitch that is taking turn, on top ur openers are useless. I think the team selection wasn't...

    *Official* Australia v Pakistan Test Series

    Yup thats the sad part, the batting is totally inexperianced, someone got to play a long innings otherwise it will be over by the third day
