You Know Things are Bad When.....

[uzermaani]

........ when your team is the MOST consistent team in the MOST 'in'consistent format of the game!!!!

.........when you hear rumors of Moin Khan's comeback as your premiere wicketkeeper just a week b4 start of your World Cup campaign (i.e '07)!!!!

......... when you have to look back again & again & again into the dirty pool of reserve players containing players like sami, misbah, imran nazir, imran farhat, shabbir ahmad, k. latif, hasan raza, rana, rao, younis, razzaq, m. khalil, taufiq umer, humayun farhat, bhanja, kabir khan, zulqarnain haider etc etc and even some of your long retired players as a possible replacements for constant failures like afridis. maliks, yusufs, k. akmals, guls etc & whats worse is that u agin come up with a new bunch of idiots amongst the mix of all these players and the cycle just goes on 'n on 'n on!!!!!


.........when your cheif selector resigns gives his job up mid-way during the tour!!!!!


........... when each and every bowler including southee, mills, guptill, g. elliot, n. mcCullum, mcKay, siddle, kulasekara, pererra, r. harris, tait, s.smith, bollinger, w. hinds, joginder sharma, hauritz, sajid mahmood, plunkett, s. udal, i. o'Brein, dalrymple, broom, and GOD knows who else is made to look grades upon grades better than the like of Ambroses, Walshs, McGraths, Warnes, Muralis, Gillespies, Pollocks, Donalds!!!!!!


.......... when your lower-order batsmen and your fast bowlers start to forget the "good old art of swinging----- may it be the bat or the ball"!!!!!!!!

 

[Sledger]

... people are blaming an umpire error against KHALID LATIF!

... a batsman scores 60 odd at almost 2 runs a ball and the team loses chasing less than 130

... people think that a team who lose 9-0 are 'unpredicatable' and 'dangerous'.

 

[Ali Raja]

When your senior team loses against your 'C'-team and Mohammad Hafeez is man of the match!!!!

 

[Saqs]

[WithLoveFromCanada]

when Malik the backstabber is made the captain of the side after already captaining the side before and being removed on the account of poor performance. Nothing improved but somehow he got the captaincy back.

b) and a Ball-Eater

- When you spend hours on the ICC Rankings website to find some positives but find absolutely none

- When the only thing you could hold on to over the years (Anwar's record) is broken.

- Shoaib Akhtar bowling 7 overs in a row is the best news of the day.

- The combined age of your spinners is nearing 100 in what is often called a 'young man's' game.

- You can give children a challenging game of spot the difference by placing Pakistan's 'new' kit next to their old one.

- Posters are comforting themselves in that Rauf wasn't selected.
