Abdul Razzaq speaking on TV:
"The present players in the team are just playing for themselves, their goal is to score their slow selfish 50's to save their spots in the team at the expense of the team"
"The team came with a target score of 250 in mind"
"Hafeez and Sarfaraz slowed down and played too many dot deliveries in the middle overs, if Hafeez can score 20 plus runs in the final over, why did he not try to hit out early on, why did they leave the assault in the final over? They should have tried to go beserk from over 42 onwards"
"We are still playing a very outdated brand of cricket and have not kept up with the world. Now every batsman looks to hit from ball one, no one takes the game to the final overs anymore, no one leaves their assault to the final 10 overs anymore while batting first"
"As a batsman you have to spend countless hours in the nets practicing your big hitting abilities, batsmen need to practice hitting straight down the ground, practice hitting across the line, with experience you learn to read the bowler better for e.g. if you smash his bouncer or short of a length ball, you know the bowler is going to overcompensate and bowl a yorker or a slower delivery, you can guage what the bowler is trying to do by looking at the field, by looking at past video tapes e.t.c"
"What is the coaching staff doing? Why did the Pakistani bowlers waste the new ball by bowling so many slower deliveries and cross seam deliveries?"
"If Amir is your strike bowler, why is he not completing his full quota of 10 overs in every match?"
"The pacers have gone soft in the last few years, there is no real hunger to represent and do well for Pakistan, in the back of their minds they now know full well that even if they don't get selected for Pakistan, they have the safety net of the T-20 leagues around the world. The board needs to clamp down hard and needs to curb the participation of these players in low quality T-20 leagues and the bowlers need to bowl long spells in domestic cricket"
"The amount of love, adulation, gifts, financial rewards the team received from the CT victory was disproportionate to what they actually deserved"
