I've been on this forum for over a decade now..perhaps longer..Ive been watching pakistan cricket for 30 plus years. (yes to some on here its Uncle TGK) but one thing never changes. Hate for the Pakistan captain when we lose.
When Imran used to lose (yes that did happen) I rememebr the media going on about how he was arrogant and not a people person like Miandad. When Miandad used to get it and lose, well he was too combative and favoured karachities. Inzi was fat lazy and a mullah, Malik was a weak yes man, Wasim was a fixer, waqar clueless, Moin a wimp, Moyo a lost puppy, Salman butt err...
Shahid Khan afridi was too volatile and a street cricketer who was a fool to boot, and finally Misbah. Misbah the weak clueless, tuk tuk, slow strike rate, cant rotate, clueless abroad and a fluke captain.
Now we have Sarfaraz. Everything said above by a previous generation is being repeated by a new generation of ppers.
We never change. When sarfi goes and Im in my late fifties (and still on here lol) we will hear how useless the new cuptaan is and so so on and on..
My point is get over it. Change the conversation.Not everything is captains fault. THere are deeper issues around Pakistan cricket that effect performance and also the fact its a game. You will lose. Sometimes alot. Lets just give these guys a chance and support the team. Criticise by all means but just "having a go" for the sake of it is not good criticism...
