**Official** Paktel Cup (Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe) Thread

[RealPk]

They are getting more consistent now..
The team which played Zimbabwe last week was completely different.
You know they experimented players like Misbah, Bazid..Iftikhar Anjum etc.

 

[FRAZ]

Now what ???

 

[viktor]

[Mecnun]

well final tomorrow..and a crucial day in india v Aus. All in all a great day for cricket..

Go Pak!!

Consistancy is the defence of a small mind!

 

[Muddaser]

YO Mecnun, hows it going?

 

[Mecnun]

It is going well Muddaser, I am looking forward to tomoorow's match. How about you? Found a spare moment to post here

I cannot believe that Chaminda Vaas got hit for more than 6 per over, over his 10 over spell, it was really unusual considering his normal economical and effective bowling. Pakistan must have come up with a pretty good plan to out smart the veteran Vaas.

 

[shaka]

I see that the ZCU had offered Heath Streak a contract, but he refused, probably because he would be 'locked in' to ZCU norms, and so would be unable to moan about the state of the country / cricket. Plus he has too many problems with ZCU as it currently is.
They have also tried to get contracts for other senior rebels.

 

[Jono]

Another good knock by Atapattu, and Sangakkara played brilliantly as well. Pakistan have got to chase down another big score, can they do it twice?

 

[marc71178]

we dont know that yet marc71178.They have gotten more consistent

They won a dead game.

As I type, they're almost certain to lose the game that matters.

Not the acts of a "top team" really.

 

[2 fast 2 furios]

being pakistani my self and watching practically every match they play, i had a really strong feling that they would loose the finals.

Well england did lose in the icc final and the game did matter.They also lost in the natwest series against NZ and WI.

 

[marc71178]

Yes, they did, but where have I ever claimed England to be a top ODI side?

Answer is I haven't because I know we're not at the moment, we're one of the big group who are pretty much on a level.

Unfortunately you have been right.
I think there is curroption in game. They were so brilliant until the final, but now..
Oh ****....much work to be done by Bob Woolmer.
The pakistani batting line up is too much dependend to Inzi/Youhana... If both have a bad day..there is a batting collapse.
But im a optimist. Im sure this team will be much different after one year. Bob Woolmer will have to find another solid batsmen if Pakistan wants a secure future in the batting line up.
Younis Khan is one of these who has been so important...After he has been dropped Pakistan had 3 batting collapse. But who should go then? Afridi again? But i dont want him to go

 

[viktor]

salman butt seems to be a bit of a find.. he played pretty well, didn't he?

 

[Mecnun]

Well twice in three days a chase of 270 + proved a bit much for Pak for the final. We all know the reasons so no point in my reiterating that when Inzy /yoyo /Shoaib Malik fail so does the rest of the team. Hamid is woefully out of form and Salman although a real find is still a rookie. Is Pakistan heading the way of India with their choking in finals?

 

[imranrabb]

we cannot say this yet as pakistan are always improving and are a young team with a new coach.
