lol Guptill was the only bat in NZ team struggling to score and we got him back in form haha
 
Irfan would be a big disappointment in WC, he is a half decent bowler, but not half as good as people made him out to be
 
Irfan's pace is down today. Not in good form these days.
 
Guptil was clueless against Srilanaka & now he is scoring on will here.
 
Irfan and Junaid need to be fit and in form by the time the WC starts.
 
They need to pitch it up. Afraid of being driven but this length is also resulting in boundaries.
 
Irfan is too up and down with his length. He gets a good bouncer in every now and then but follows up with a nothing short ball
 
Phainti and Bhatti goes along well

Problem is our selectors do not have any embarrassment and liabilty of team's failure. That's why they keep recycling TTFs
 
These are the best bowlers we have at our disposal. The fact is that our talent pool has dried up.

No, it hasnt.

What you are forgetting is that Aamir and Asif were supposed to be a part of this team. Take Wasim and Waqar out, talent would have dried then as well.
 
Only if we can play fearless cricket, this phatu defensive approach don't winning us matches either why not go down playing fast and aggressive, even if we don't win it won't bore hell out of followers and viewers, tell them these morons to show some intent plz they play as if playing fast is Gunaah e kabeera. Just tired of their approach.

lol - and who is going to do the accountability of selectors ??
The PCB officials, who are as incompetant and as inept?
And who is going to do the accountability of PCB officials?
The politicians who are more corrupt?
And who is going to perform accountability of polititians?
The nation who has made sure to keep Pakistan in the list of top 10 world's most corrupt countries? lol

No it would'nt have. Shoaib should hv debuted in 1995 as he reveals in his biography. Zahid and fazl e akbar as well as aquib javed were all more than descent
 
I am honestly impressed how straight Pakistani bowlers are bowling seriously no hint of swing or any other movement.
 
With our main bowlers giving up so many runs. We can't afford to play only 5 bowlers.

Amr and Asif are banned, so these are the best at our disposal and they are quite pathetic
 
Why is the crowd sitting on side of the stadium ? Is it by purpose that they sold only one side seating tickets ??

What rubbish are you spewing. There were a dearth of good fast bowlers during that era who could have made it to most sides. Look it up.
 
Pakistan made a big mistake sacking lawson , he should have been given more time and authority.
 
Waqar really is our coach just for big fat salary! he does not give a damn of our performance

Junaid and Irfan are very good as well. You don't average 22 for a good period of three years for nothing.
 
The quality of the team is judged by the best available players. When they are mediocre, your team is mediocre.

Best available openers - Shehzad, Hafeez, Jamshed = mediocre

Best available middle order - Younis, Misbah, Haris, Umar, Maqsood = mediocre (only Haris has potential to be very good, but so far it is potential only)

Best available keeper - Sarfraz = mediocre with the gloves, purple patch with the bat but will be exposed soon, especially in overseas Tests.

Best available all-rounder - Afridi = devastating on his day, but way too hit and miss. Other teams have better options.

Best available pacers - Irfan, Junaid and Wahab = mediocre.

Best available bowling all-rounders - Bhatti, Anwar, Tanvir, Adil = mediocre (only Adil has potential to be good).

This is why Pakistan is a mediocre team, quality players are nowhere to be found.

Then people wonder what's wrong, and they have become mediocre as well as judged by their analysis.

An overdose of mediocrity means you'll start to accept mediocrity and this is why guys like Irfan, Junaid, Shehzad, Umar etc. look like top quality cricketers to them.

Wake up and understand that quality cricketers are nowhere to be found, this is just a hopeless and pointless exercise.

Stop living in false hopes, I beg you.

Goodbye for a few days, need a break.
