AAqib trick has been working so far. If lobbying means Pakistan can win then sure why not. But I don't wanna see another dosti yaari and favoritism stuff in the team.
 
What if Pakistan win the Test series? I think people should hold on to condemning Aaqib just yet.

Yes, his rise to this position looks a little iffy but he may prove to be the best Head Coach in years!

I am sure, Pakistan won't be able to win it... If they eventually wins it then we can talk about Aqib-ball as some big deal
