Hope they stake him spreadeagled out the front of the stadium for the next 24hrs and invite passers-by to kick him in the nads.

First of all congrats to the aussies for a comprehensive series victory but i can also easily say even bangladesh would have given us a massive scare, not taking any credit from the australians but there were major problems with the pakistani line-up and captain and australians rightly exploited that. Now coming to the major revamp of the pakistani team, i think its pretty simple but somehow i know it wont be implemented, i followed this series pretty closely not because i knew pakistan had a chance but because i wanted to figure out the main issue with our team, the issue is mainly with our two senior players yusuf and younis, its always good to have experience in the team but that experience should come with performance when its mostly needed, younis and yusuf reminded me of the inzamam era where our batsman always went on the defensive when facing australia and never played their natural game because of fear and it was very painful to see that again.

Whats positive is palyers like umer akmal, fawad akmal, kamran, aamir, afridi, asif, salman butt (to an extent), imran farhat, they were the only players that played their natural game and most of them didnt care whoever they were up against, in other words they were fearless in their approach. Most of you might have heard of the saying, "Greater is an army of sheep led by a lion, than an army of lions led by a sheep", as was seen in the sydney test day 4. I said that long ago and earlier in the tournament that it doesnt matter what changes you bring to a team when you have a sheep running the team. I want yusuf to be kicked out immediately from the team, he has the same sort of mentality as inzamam, hes a scared captain and player who can never succeed at this age and i dont wana see that all over again, it will destroy on what could be an amazing team that have some fearless players.

Good post GoC, but I have a small point of contention. I'm pretty sure an army of lions led by a sheep would maul the arse out of an army of sheep led by a lion.

Surely the lions would just mutiny and eat their own leader? Whereas the sheep army would be very well disciplined out of fear of the boss?

That streaker is a disgrace to the country. Hope they throw the book at him.
Small point, but I thought the defining characteristic of a streaker was partial or full nudity? Today's invader was a ****, but kept his own covered.

AFL fan too, as he tackled the body and not the legs. :ph34r:
