Pakistan playing with freedom and aggression - Is this the beginning of something special?

[Dr Khan]

It has been a long time since i saw Pakistan team play with so much freedom and aggression. The youngsters have risen to the occasion. Is this the beginning on something special with an attacking captain or just a one off fluke.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yes we are witnessing the beginning of a golden era under Mickey and Sarfraz!

 

[ManFan]

Just take out Hafeez, Malik, Imad and bring in some more PSL youngsta beauties.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

From what I remember the 'golden era' started a while back

 

[Cuts_and_cuts_hard]

No. This was a win beacuse of low expectations. Make no mistake we are still a mediocre team. We need to make much more progres. But this is a huge step in right direction.

 

[Aman]

Nah, you're still outgunned by most teams.

Aus, SA, England, India and NZ will come back harder and better in 2019.

BUT if the field is leveled, Pakistan could rise to the top 3 with their bowling attack.

Coming harder doesn't matter zilch,PCT won their first CT and they did it after defeating India,I would take that.

This isn't about the CT, this about what happens after the tournament.

 

[JaDed]

This isn't about the CT, this about what happens after the tournament.

Who cares what happens after the tournament,5 years down the line they have a CT and Kohli bottled out.

Pakistan needs another opener with Fakhar, A middle order batsman and Fahim with Shadab as allrounders

We said this after the 2009 WT20 win. Its an been exceptional run but that doesn't mean we don't try to keep improving.

Still got to add more firepower to the batting, especially in the lower-order.

 

[joly]

It is definitely going to give Pakistan team a boost. For 5 years there seemed only one winner in an India Pakistan game,but Pakistan should not be complacent.

 

[James]

Even if it isn't.

This has been a hoot. And absolutely magnificent.

One of the most dominant performances ever in a final.

Thank god our phainty from 2015 has been overshadowed

 

[khan-92]

Insh'Allah era of Pakistan domination starting

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

This is the start of a new epoch for Pakistan cricket. New era.

 

[Hamza_]

This is the start of a new epoch for Pakistan cricket. New era.

We still have to make changes. Glaring weaknesses

 

[sjahmed23]

We don't have any hitters. With players like Babar, Malik, Hafeez momentum is lost. We need geniune hitters batting in the middle order with only 2 accumalators. Right now we have 4 accumalators (azam, azhar, hafeez, malik) and 2 hitters (fakhar and sarfraz you could say) until our hitting improves we won't challenge those top sides consistently.

Agree that we need more firepower. However, I think/hope this is different from 2009 WT20 in that we now have a coach/captain/selector combo who seem to have a long term plan/strategy and are all reading from the same page (largely).
