Amazing how some posters sit here waiting for Pakistan to fail.
Only moron/idiots would want Pakistan team to fail!!!
It not amazing at all that some cricket fans with opposing point of view log on to PP and chat about what is wrong or right about the team and why because it certainly does not makes an iota of a difference to the fact if team fails or succeeds.
Bigger shame, sin and amazing part is that when you can clearly see wrong doings within PCB management, team managements, captains, coaches and players who intentionally put their personal benefits and preferences ahead of team's benefits which CAUSES team to fail.
Much bigger shame, sin and amazing part is that people knowingly support those wrong doings.
Wearing a Pakistan jersey is so cheap.
Ijaz Butts, Mohammad Ilyases and any selector, captain or coach who has put his personal friendships, relationship, sifarishes, likes or dislikes ahead of deserving talents, have lowered the prices of that jersy to that lowest of the low point. What fans like you and me write on PP can not even close to the damage these people have caused to the team.
Let me ask you this......
a) Misbah for 2 years totally ignored Azahr Ali. Never ever mentioned that Azhar was even in consideration for ODI team.
b) The all of a suddent Misbah find Azhar fit, capable and good enough to be captain of the team.
Which one is the wrong decision - a or b?
Why should Misbah not be criticized for at least ONE wrong decision?
These are the type of decisions which make "wearing Pakistani Jersey very cheap"! No logic at all!
Why Shoaib Malik is even being considered to any team - 73 last innings and ave of 17/18. Why? I don't care who wants him in the team Afridi or SYK. Malik does not justify to be in the team.
These are the type of decisions which make "wearing Pakistani Jersey very cheap"! No logic at all!
As MRSN said, we did not want (or will never want) Pakistan to fail - and point out blunders, does not mean that for sure!
MRSN said:
No explanation will be given why Ajmal was selected ahead of Zafar Gohar.
No explanation for playing Saad Nasim as a finisher when he doesn't come anywhere near this role.
No explanation for why Fawad Alam was batting at 6 when he can't clear the circle.
No explanation for why we played with 4 bowlers with two making comeback after year or so.
Let me add a few points to your list.
No explanation for not playing Azhar for 2 year.
No explanation for appointing Azhar as captain.
No explanation for Umar Akmal's attitude - what exactly did he do?
No explanation for Shehzad's attitude - what exactly did he do?
No explanation for Shehzad "undermining the captain" - what exactly did he do?
No explanation for holding the players accountable and yet no accountability for captain, coach, selectors, PCB executives and Chairmen!
No explanation from Captain/Coach for not playing Sarfraz in WC matches.
O..wait .... Misbah did say this about that....

But if that was the case, why a 3rd opener was not selected??????? No explanation!
No explanation from Captain/Coach for persisting with out of shape/form Nasir Jamshed.
No explanation from selectors/PCB for selecting YK for the WC and then dropping him for BD series?
I can bet my house that most of above decisions were not made in the best interest of the team but
Unfortunately there is no way to prove that!
