Those deserve to be booted and deported out of the country/stripped of their Pakistani passport.

Inferiority complex is a very bad thing.
 
When you lose the series despite ‘bossing’ it for the majority of the games :yk
 
When you lose a series to a team that never played it's strongest XI in any of the 5 matches.
 
When you convince yourself to watch the highlights and right before they start you switch the channel to to a female talk show

same applies to NZ Vs Ind, where Ind not played its full strength team in any ODI but still won the series comfortably.
 
When revealing a new shirt is hyped as if it's some big achievement in Pakistan cricket.
 
When a T20 series is about to start, your team is World no.1, but you don’t feel excited because of the bashing in Tests and ODIs.
 
U Akmal is the crowd puller (was at stadium today,fans started to leave once he was out).
 
When Aaron Finch bowls 10 overs in a ODI against you.
 
When you are almost tempted to switch over to the IPL when Pakistan are playing at the same time.

but to your defence this is a second string side and even the players seem like they're not taking it too seriously so why should us fans?

and that game today was very entertaining.
 
When a player (finch) who hasn't bowled more than 4 overs in odis bowls 10 overs to u and is the most economical bowler.
 
When a player that averages 13 with the bat and 50 with ball is considered an all rounder.
 
When yasir shah is the only bowler who took a wicket during on ODI match the other wicket being a run out
 
When we are told it's ok to keep losing, as we are resting players.
 
When Sarfaraz bakhts think his captaincy actually benefits a team who had beaten black and blue by all top teams since the Champions trophy in which he was captain for.
 
When a Pakistani batsman gets a hundred but you dont really fancy watching the highlightes to relive his 100.
 
When the only bowler in the current Pakistan team that you look forward to watching is an 18 year-old kid.
 
Mohammad Amir is not getting wickets, and there are no dropped catches to defend his inclusion, or the work burden. You have to resign to the fact that you are not in La La land anymore and your problems are real :))

nothing weak about that - Sarfraz has won some major trophies as captain U19WC, CT17, PSL19

So PSL is a major trophy now, interesting :13:, and we’ll use a more than decade old kids tournament to justify for today’s day and age, by that logic Malik’s age old Sialkot stint should count too, no? :13:

Credit to him for CT but we got thrashed in 2018 in ODIs for quite a bit by the top sides. It’s not 2017 anymore, he’s not in form anymore.

We’re two years on, and players get better or worse over time. Most captains have their limitations. He looks great on a front cover when players are performing but will panic when they’re not and look hopeless.

He barely makes it in the team as a player, so that’s the first thing.

Yeah let's hand over the reigns to Shoaib "winning is not important" Malik.


Some people and their nonexistent cricketing knowledge come on here and act like experts.

Cricketing knowledge would suggest he is right though. It does not matter who wins this series in the grand scheme of things. Its important to rest our key players and test the bench strength before the worldcup.

I agree that Sarfraz is and always was the man to lead us in the world cup but lets not just criticize everything Malik says just for the sake of it.

If supporting Sarfraz as captain is a prerequisite for being an expert, then yes, I'm not an expert.
 
You keep telling yourself this Aus series doesn’t matter, deep down you know the team is garbage & your hoping for a CT fluke like in the world cup!!
 
When you keep trying to convince yourself that despite only winning 4 out of their last 16 ODIs Pakistan can win the World Cup.
 
When a part timer (Azhar Ali) can bowl better googlies than your frontline spinner.
 
When reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup would be a huge achievement.
 
When the most pathetic player in the squad has an audacity to say ' I am an automatic selection'
 
When people offer the excuse that 'he is incapable of batting any other way' as a reason for not being able to chase down a target.
 
When the likes of Pak & Ire start to score 330+ on the same day, eng & W.i bowlers hang ur heads in shame!
 
When we start calling players all-rounders when they clearly are not.
 
You know things are bad when people are pinning the blame of defeat on a guy who genuinely tried his best to win the match but not a word on their favourites such as Imam ul Haq who were selfishly batting at 79 SR in-order to improve their stats.
 
When needing 9 an over a guy hits only 2 fours in 32 balls but that is seen as acceptable batting.
 
When you start saying yourl self " 92 main bhi to aisa hi hua tha" while Imran Khan is cluless as prime minister.
