You must be kidding. Did they bowl to any strong teams.. The only decent team they bowled to took 185 off them.. SL are by far the best attack. Pakistan will be "trashed" by the Saffers.

I actually give a slight edge to SA in the bowling department, but even if we call that a tossup, SA’s batting is far superior to ours. Malik and Misbah are still out of form, Afridi has just started to show signs of improvement, and Razzaq just came back into the team. The only consistent batsman we’ve had in the entire tournament is Younis. Anything can happen, especially in this format, but SA are firm favorites.

Is he the first Khan since the Great one to captain Pakistan ?

State Captain
not 100% sure but I think Moin was captain for a few.
Its Pakistan at some point everyone gets to be captain.
he is the first Khan that is a "Pathan" after imran khan. traditionally Khan is a last name inhereted by pukhtuns but in pakistan many urdu people have started using it. Imran khan and younis khan are both pure pathans. younis is the second pathan to captain the pakistan team after imran khan if i am not mistaken.

Everyone has had trouble picking his slower ball though (not sure why?), granted the rest of his repertoire is rubbish. Get Maharoof in there, useful limited overs bowler and can tonk a few in the middle-lower order.

Haha yeah the '92 comparisons gave me a chuckle as well. That team consisted of players that had carried the Pakistan team for years and others who carried us for well over a decade after, and a man who was already hailed as one of the best captain's ever. This lot doesn't compare.

Should deffo have Maharoof or Kulasekera over Udana, who looks next to useless, it's only a matter of time before ppl work out his slower ball then he's screwed.
Apparently Gibbs is working on a new shot which should be interesting.
Would love to see the WI or SL win it, but unless M&M really bamboozle the Saffers can't see it happening.

No comparison was made, just certain coincidence was mentioned.

Your grudges with Pakistan is well documented. It's a natural Indian reaction not to support Pakistan. I have no problems you being a loyal Indian, but just keep it there. My self being a loyal Lankan I am not thrashing British that they don't deserve something. Sri Lanka have been a friendly state of India more than Australia, Britain or South Africa. When all impossible things are taken out of the equation, the possible thing will be left. And that is you are an LTTE / terrorist sympathizer. There are no enemies for SL other than terrorists and the states that support them.

On the criteria you use Ishant Sharma and Zaheer Khan also chucks. I am not going to even mention a particular spinner who bowls in long sleeves and bats in short sleeves.
