Change of approach and culture requires time and patience!

[Bleedgreen4ever]

Salam all!This is my first post on this forum after a while

Pakistan's performance today was humiliating,horrible etc but we must keep in mind that Sarfaraz and Pakistan need time!Its his second series as Pakistan captain lets not be too harsh with him and Arthur

We have been following this approach for the last 6 7 years and our cricket has been an all time low after 2007 with defensive captains like Inzi,Misbah,Azhar etc and changing this culture will need time...

Let us go back to when India were in a similar stage in 2000 after Azhar's and Tendulkar's uninspiring captaincy in the 1990s. India appointed Ganguly as captain in 2000 but just months after that they witnessed all this heavy margin defeats and first round exits

in addition to these they also couldnt even make it to the Asia Cup final in 2000

other than the ICC knockout Trophy in 2000 they had a horrible year but almost the same team that got thrashed by Pakistan,Sri Lanka and SA made it to the finals in 2003.NOT COMPARING SARFARAZ WITH GANGULY BUT WE CANNOT QUESTION HIS CAPTAINCY CREDENTIALS TOO EARLY BUT he is different from all the captains we had since 2011 and we have to believe that we can get out of this phase..

All these thrashing 54 all out etc are similar to what we have been witnessing for a while.

We all know how Sri Lanka transformed slowly under Jayawardene despite having to play the qualifying round of championstrophy in 2006 but made it to the finals in 2007 WC!

England!we all know what happened to Morgan, Root and company in 2015 WC

SUMMARY:WE NEED TO BE PATIENT AND BELIEVE!We have the players who average 40 plus just need to get the right combination at the right time

if we can chase 300 in England vs England dismiss Australia at MCG for 220 odd we have the potential to do better once our combination is set

DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE!

The resurgence of NZ after 2013 and their clinical performance in 2015 is also a classical example

Pakistan really need to spend some coaching time on captaincy.

 

[Inzi_fan_No_1]

England changed overnight. Got rid of the serial failures and bought in players who play the modern way.

 

[Abid Z]

Not true. England invested heavily in lions and junior tours. Invested in coaches and trainers and made a versatile squad instead of just a few players. Unfortunately Pakistan just doesn't have the resources

 

[Abid Z]

Not overnight but about ten years

You really need to learn how to use the 'enter' key and create paragraphs so your text is easier to read.

That requires time and patience.

Who are these players with average of 40+? Maybe Babar Azam m? Who else??

 

[Shafi]

It will never possible unfortunately. We have corruption in every point of the cricket system. First need to find at least 4 honest persons to start with. Need 2-3 men selectors, chairman.

Babar
Haris
Imam ul Haq?
Most of these are in their 20s whereas most of the Indian stars these days like Dhawan,Rohit,Dhoni and Yuvraj are in their thirties and we might not see them after the 2019 or 2023 WC
