An open letter to Younis Khan.

[saeed-sohail]

Dear sir,
Being a fan pakistan cricket for past 22 years you are one of the very few players I admire for hard work, honesty,and dedication to maximize your talent.You have been a true ambassador of our nation on and off the field for past decade and thank you for bringing joy to millions of people by winning T20 WC.
I know these are hard times in your cricketing career but I would like to convey a message of support and admiration from true Pakistani fans.We know you are being victimized and punished unfairly.We applaud you for your integrity and would like to tell you we Pakistani fans are proud of you.And finally keep faith aur iss raat key baad subah zaroor aaye gi.
Regards .

[AZ]

I'll co-sign it, we really need YK in the top order for Test matches.

[mindless slogging]

Well I don't expect him to be coming back if he is injured (which he apparently was by a fishing (not Butt/Farhat style) related incident).

[Omar Malik]

Yes YK you are needed in the test squad!

[zaid65]

He is coming back to the Australian tour.

[saeed-sohail]

He is coming back to the Australian tour.
I hope that is the case we will need to bat well in aus as wickets there will be true will hardly be any swing at MCG and SCG and we will need to put 350+ on board to stay in games.

[*syed59*]

Truly said mr.saeed.

Dont really know whats happening behind the scenes right now, but if Younis isn't taking touring australia seriously, I just hope he re-thinks about it and makes a comeback. If not Younis himself, then someone, anyone, from this Pakistani cricketing world has to inspire him and make the atmosphere around him more setlled and change his mind.

A keen Younis with a fresh mindset, batting at his no3 spot against Australia would be a very decisive or atleast a significant moment for himself, the team and the followers.

[midwicket]

It's difficult to see how he could have recovered his batting form in a short period. So better if he sits the Australian tour out.

There is difference in test and ODI cricket my friend this is test cricket we are talking about a format in which he is one of the top batsman around (no1 not long ago) with 11 hundreds in his last 33 tests with an average of 60+.
He scored a triple hundred 3 tests ago and scored 83 two tests ago and furthermore he is the our only batsman averages 43 in aus and no one else averages 30.

But only as a batsman.

[saqlain]

This is nonsense. If he is good enough I am sure PCB selectors would put him in the team. Once again, why are we just looking for one player. What is the guarantee that he would score big there??? PCB should boost talent like Akmal and play with the current bunch. It was in the news that YK wasnt even interested in playing for the domestic season. If his ego or expectations are that high, I dont think he deserves a place in the team. He should come back only if he can improve his performance in the domestic season.

we don't make performance based selection. However, he is one of the best player we have.

If you get your messages of support in this thread, I'll make sure the messages get to Younus.

[saqlain]

I dont think it should work that ways. He should have been in the team in NZ and playing. The fact is that he is running around in Pakistan and spending time fishing, according to Pakitsani newspaper. I dont think he is interested right now, which is understandable. It is about time when PCB should start taking things on a priority and seriousness. They should stick with the current team and if they are not happy with the playing XI than bring the reserve players. Not bringing YK and that too because of his old performances.

[Chasing Cars]

Dear Younus Bhai,
We need you in the test squad.
The old saying goes "you never know what you've lost until it's gone"
Well, now we know.
Please come back to the squad :D Your experience is indispensable to the team.

[90MPH]

What a load of tosh. Ever heard of form is temporary and class is permanent?? You can question his place in the ODI squad But no 1 should question whether he deserves a place in the Test squad. He along with Yousaf are our best cricket bats.
Even if he plays and finds his form in domestic cricket will it help him in Alien conditions in Australia ?? ((which btw he has quite good stats over there).
He should be an automatic selection for Test cricket providing he makes himself avaliable for selection.

[cricket_fever]

Tough times never last but tough people do.......You should know what tough material you are made out of (after all you are a pakhtun, and i alongside many envy your your pakhtun blood)......I dont blame you as great players have went through rough patches in their careers, but have come back strong! You too are of a similar type,,,,or so it seems....

serious? Wow! thats good news

[*sallu*]

If you get your messages of support in this thread, I'll make sure the messages get to Younus.

Heres Mine:

Younus Khan, first of all, please please please come back into the side for the Australian series.
We hardly have any batsman of your class and experience and in Australia we will need it.

Secondly, also consider taking up test captaincy atleast. You are by far the best choice for captaincy and our team can do wonders if they will support you.

Best of luck and please don't give up on cricket. See you in Australia InshAllah

[Nice-N-Fresh]

I hope this message goes to Younus Khan. He is head and shoulders above the other batsmen in our squad. He is always a busy player.

Please come back.

[Rizwan25]

Younis bhai boraay waqat ki aik achi baat hay, kay bura waqt bhi khatam hojata hay! :)

Plz come back :(

[Saj]

Messages of support only in this thread please ladies and gents.

There are plenty of other threads to discuss his captaincy etc :)

Inclusion of him as player, Yes. He is our best batsman

[shafkath]

If you get your messages of support in this thread, I'll make sure the messages get to Younus.

plz get this message to younis. i support him 100% :yk i want him in oz as captain

[shaaan]

I second the letter...I support YK as a batsman to be in the team.

[insaaniyat]

I second the letter...I support YK as a batsman to be in the team.
I support him for the same reason:)

[Boi]

Please, Younis Bhai. Come back. We need you desperately in our batting lineup. Your bubbly enthusiasm is being missed in the current series against New Zealand. We want to see that smile back on your face.
Pakistan needs you!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Please come back YK, we need your solidity in the middle order in what will be one of the tougher tours we have been on. It has always been my dream to see Pakistan win a test series in Australia and I fear it is impossible without you in the side.

:yk :yk :yk

[shobiii]

Younus Khan. Sir you are a vital cog in the pakistani team and are essential for the AUS tour. There is no debate - your services are required immediately. Pack your bags and join the team. Also, If you can make it for Napier that would be great. Dont forget to pack shampoo and toothbrush.

[tauseefm]

For the sake of Pakistan cricket, please come back.
For the sake of our bating order, please come back.
For the sake of our fielding, please come back.

Please come back:(:(

[insaaniyat]

yes the messages of support will get to Younus.
Saj being in that position, you should deliver both point of view to YK. Fair is fair isn't it?:)

[McBoom]

If Younis gets this message than I'd like to say that its not the time to quit.

Pakistan needs you so don't get disheartened if some team members are playing games behind your back. The best way to silence every one is to PLAY and PERFORM!

Now lets play shall we? :yk

[Crucifier]

People need to realise that Yk DID NOT win Pakistan the T20 WC. It was the brilliance of one man coupled with some decent contributions from Aamer and Ajmal.

No. YK's captaincy did not win us the cup if that's what you're thinking.

It wasn't IMRAN khan who won us the world cup it was 1 point we got from england match which took us to the next round. is that what u are trying to say?(Just learn to appreciate whenever its due)

He was the one who made changing to the bating department. He was the one who trusted Amire's abilities and gave him the new ball. He was the one putting everybodies on their toes.


Younis plz ignore Crucifier's comments :)

Who asked Afridi to bat at #3? If he had failed who would we balme?
Who had the courage to drop or keep the best batsman of 2007 T20 lower on the batting order so Afridi and likes can perform? Who had the guts to open the bowling with a 17 year old kid that was unknown to the world? Did the indvidual players made all those decisions or was it YK? Do you think Moyo will be making these kind of decision if he was Captain?

My friend you have to understand a very simple fact about Captaincy and that is a Captain cannot play for his player and peform for them. One thing he can do is to give his players confidence and put them in a position so the can give the best for the team. YK did both in the T20 WC and hence we won. No one is doubting that individual players performance contributed but I am also convinced that if YK was not the Captain we would not have won the T20 WC.

[PlanetPakistan]

Certainly need for the series against Australia.

All these other silly issues will not matter if he gets runs in AUS

[Crucifier]

Younis plz ignore Crucifier's comments :)

:)))

YK probably doesn't even know how to use the internet let alone have the interest to read a forum.

My friend, you have to understand a very simply fact about captaincy in Pakistan. Most of it is done by the management. 99% of the plans which get executed out on the field, the kind of plans people like you believe are all down to YK, are infact all thoroughly thought out by the PCB management.

This includes the coaching staff, senior officials such as the team manager the captain and others who provide insight. You clearly haven't been reading the reports lately about how YK was causing trouble amoungst the team during the WC so everything you and everyone else said about him giving "confidence" ( :))) ) to certain individuals such as Aamer is invalid. Plus, I saw Afridi keeping everyones spirit up a lot more than the so called captain.

The managment handling the captains role because the captain himself is incompetent to handle the job has been one of the reasons why Pakistan have been so mediocre since Imran Khan. Apart from Afridi (who actually reacts to certain situations) every Pakistan captain has gone dead after things go pear shaped. I don't need to bring up any proof of this. Any Pak supporter should know this.

YK seems to be a genuinely nice guy but I feel his one day career is coming to an end now. Not only has he lost the respect of his fellow players but the so called "great" captain we all expected him to become wasn't to be.

Well that is the biggest joke of 2009 :)) :)) :)) . You think these guys arer doing any planning? Dig deep into your heart and tell me really are the doing any planning? If they do 10% of planning we will be much better off.

Only thing management might have done is to push Misbah into the team and YK pushed him down the order to get the players who were in good nick to come good for Pak.
You are also not clearly following our Coach's press conferences during the T20 where he would say one thing and different thing would happen in the field. He looked completely lost and out of sorts. You are telling me these so called coaches and management are doing 99% of the planning and YK is a dummy captain, Right? The same Captain who quit because he did not want to be a Captain for namesake and wanted authority to run the team. How much reading you have been doing my friends?

Thanks for letting us know man I was thinking the same how come cricinfo and ICC picked him as captain of their team of the tournament. I mean 177 runs in the competition at 40+ with strike rate of 135+ does not deserve his inclusion and afridi was sent at three by barrack obama.

[ali110]

As long as ****** and useless players like Farhat, Butt etc and power hungry, manupulative players like Malik, Misbah and Kamran Akmal are in the team, he would be better off sitting in Steel Town in Karachi and do some real fishing and leave the on field fishing to Butt, Farhat, Malik etc.

[cricwiz]

I fully support Younis Khan to be back in the Test team for Aus series. Captain or not, individual batting performance should be his ultimate goal...

I give him credit for T20 what else has he done? Lost to Sri Lanka, Australia, NZ and also CT ( where pakistan only won one match against India), and then jumped the ship. That's is not leadership. sorry. Don't be blind in his support. Show us some numbers. And please don't make excuses for him. Thanks

[tauseefm]

And how many players supported him on the following tours? We have lost everywhere based on our unpredictable bating and within 80 runs we have lost 6 to 8 wickets in each match we have lost. isn't that really obvious there was something going on between players

[insaaniyat]

I am not giving u any excuses bro, just telling you the truth. Its our dirty politics which never let our country or any department successful. Personal goals are alway put ahead of Pakistan.
again i don't want this thread to be a mess of arguments and i know u have already made up ur mind so there is not point in arguing with u.

[saeed-sohail]

I do agree with you, however on this board, not too many people will agree with you.
Com,n man I thought you were better then this.
Give credit where its due afridi himself in every interview during and after the tournament gave credit to YK for his batting form.
I am a afridi fan myself and you can check my posts prior to aus odi series in UAE to confirm this when most people here wanted him out. And now its YK who,s blood ppl are after so naturaly being a fan I will defend him against unjustified criticism.

It's ok to defend him. We just voice our opinion here:) Nothing wrong with that. Afridi doesn't form my opinion, I do my own thinking good or bad. And you are entitled to yours and I respect that

With this logic of yours Imran Khan did not win us the 92 world cup instead it was brilliance of Inzi and Wasim....Seems like for some people here only personal performace matters and other intengibles that lead people to perform better doesn't

[insaaniyat]

With this logic of yours Imran Khan did not win us the 92 world cup instead it was brilliance of Inzi and Wasim....Seems like for some people here only personal performace matters and other intengibles that lead people to perform better doesn't
Well we won as a team, credit goes to the whole team. However captain is the one who gets the credit in real world. Now Yousef should get the credit for 2nd test win. INsha-Allah he will do good against Australia too. Seems like players are supporting him 100%. Express news is reporting that Yousef will be named captain for the test team in Australia

[saeed-sohail]

So now you don't agree with crucifier on captain having nothing to do with the T20 win?

[the_game]

Younis, please come back and get rid of garbage like Malik, Farhat, etc from our test lineup. Please!

[Crucifier]

With this logic of yours Imran Khan did not win us the 92 world cup instead it was brilliance of Inzi and Wasim....Seems like for some people here only personal performace matters and other intengibles that lead people to perform better doesn't

Ok. With that logic: bats, protective equipment, cricket balls, the pitch, the weather and great sight screen should all recieve their fair amount of credit.

Do you get what I'm saying now? Or do I have to take it a step further and get the baby spoon out? :13:

The people on this forum are giving more credit to YK for apparently asking Afridi to bat at #3 than Afridi himself for scoring the match winning runs, which I find amusing.

Do the delivery men who supply the food for Gordan Ramsey's restaurants get any credit? Didn't think so. They may have provided the incrediants but ultimately, it's down to the chefs. So the point I'm trying to make is that people are exaggerating YK's contribution.

All of the above is taking into account if YK did infact come up with these so called brilliant master class game plans that some of the PP fans seem to believe. So I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, even though it's not much because look at what YK has done for Pak since being captain:

- Lost an ODI series in Pakistan vs Sri Lanka
- Lost a Test series in Pakistan vs Sri Lanka
- Lost an ODI series Vs Australia
- Lost an ODI series vs Sri Lanka
- Lost a test series vs Sri Lanka
- Pathetic performance in the CT
- Lost an ODI series Vs NZ
- Won the T20 WC

Let's face it. Had Afridi not fired in those 2 innings, this might have been the worst year for Pakistan cricket in the history of the game. Do we really want someone like that back as captain?

[saeed-sohail]

Sharam tum ko magar nahin aati.
It seems some people are incapable of reading mod(saj) has clearly stated that this thread is for messages of support for one of the top batsman in world cricket if someone wants to comment his captaincy skills there are countless theads one can post rubbish on.

[insaaniyat]

So now you don't agree with crucifier on captain having nothing to do with the T20 win?

Well captain has lot to do with a loss against Sri Lanka, from the winning position, CT loss by dropping crucial catch, losing the ODI series against NZ and Australia. Oh you name it captain is responsible for these losses. and one more point, captain don't jump the ship either when going gets tough. Glad the old captain is sacked and Insha-Allah we will prosper with Yousef in command

[Usman Chadda]

[insaaniyat]

YK cannot be expected to teach Malik and co. how to bat, surely?!
no he cannot. However he could have improved his batting, to start with. Well anyway he will not be the captain anymore,so why dwell on it anymore. Let's us wish Yousef all the best

[saeed-sohail]

First of all get your facts right YK was never sacked he walked away from it and in our society there are very few ppl who leave post of power on their accord. And by the way the current captain that I have nothing against left the team pakistan not once but twice for money when he knew full well that joining ICL would mean getting banned from pakistan team.
And finally thanks for admitting that captain is responsible for loss and VICTORY IN AN ICC WORLD TOURNAMENT. Thank you and good night.

ok you win, YK is no longer the captain, that is the fact. Now as a pakistani supporter we should set our differences aside and get behind our captain Yousef for tough Australian tour. Wouldn't you agree with me on that?

[mindless slogging]

Ok. With that logic: bats, protective equipment, cricket balls, the pitch, the weather and great sight screen should all recieve their fair amount of credit.

Do you get what I'm saying now? Or do I have to take it a step further and get the baby spoon out? :13:



LOL. That's what you call constant variables- each team has to encounter the same conditions. You bring in that analogy to detract credit for YK and you want to spoon feed someone else.

[saeed-sohail]

All YK haters out there I am sorry to break this news to you that Younis khan was the man who led us to the first limited overs ICC tournament and he was chosen by ICC and by cricinfo to lead their team of the tournament on the basis of his fantastic leadership and brilliant batting leading up to semis and final where he was hardly needed as we lost too few wickets but in semis he did contribute 24(18) not out.
Bump.

[sali]

I always believed that YK was the most qualified man for the job of captain. Actually, YK has dissopinted many of his supporters by leaving the battle field. A strong captain needs to suvive through thick n thin and elevate his team to success.

YK should not be sitting out. In his bad form, he is still a better batsman than all other players excluding MoYo and Umer Akmal. If we can play Butt, Manzoor, Imran Far, Shoib Malik, Misbah and others in the hope of making some runs one day, YK could be played in the hope of returning his form. Unlike others, he has already proven himself.

At the end YK needs to be more professional and strong to lead the team.

[saeed-sohail]

ok you win, YK is no longer the captain, that is the fact. Now as a pakistani supporter we should set our differences aside and get behind our captain Yousef for tough Australian tour. Wouldn't you agree with me on that?
I said this before that yousaf should remain captain for aus and beyond as we need some stability in our ranks and goal should be to do well in aus and Eng next summer and for that we need younis in the team at no3.

Well then let's get behind our team. Go PAkistan. Go Yousef. YK come back and play cricket for fun

[FAHAD KHAN]

I am amazed that a guy who has been failing miserabely with the bat for the last year..
Lost us every series we played in except the 2020 Cup{ which i wont go into the reasons as to why we won**Had lost all respect from his team mates has so much support on this thread...I am guessing it has to do with peoples personal likes and dislikes and nothing to do with cricket unfortunately...

[iafzal]

We don't need to make excuses. In that sense everyone in the world has the reason. Fact speaks for itself.
Yes the facts are that our middle order has no spine and quality and they fall apart without a good reason. 3 collapses in 8 innings are 2 too many.

You got me wrong, we need YK at # 3, just not as a captain:)

[Usman Chadda]

I am amazed that a guy who has been failing miserabely with the bat for the last year..So we can accommodate Malik and co. time and time again but when YK, who smashed a triple century against Murali and Mendis just last year, gets out of form, we take out our knives for him? Our fans are the WORST in world cricket! We deserve the filth that we are getting at the moment

If Malik is out then who will make it difficult to Captain the team then?

[Ryankhan]

I totally agree with you. Look at Brain Lara-Sachin when they were captain they were failing badly with their batting but when they step down as the captain, then they showed their true colors and scored many runs for their team so younis has the potential and he can do the same aswell. i hope younis returns against aussie series

[AZ]

guys, this thread is supposed to be about a personal goodwill message for YK, and which via Saj has graciously offered to deliver to Younis, so let's keep it about that please...there are a billion threads about YK's captaincy already

[Serendipity]

Younis need to, should, must come back but with big heart and strong balls to take rough with smooth, not walking away again ever unless it is for forever!

[shaaan]

Ok. With that logic: bats, protective equipment, cricket balls, the pitch, the weather and great sight screen should all recieve their fair amount of credit.

Do you get what I'm saying now? Or do I have to take it a step further and get the baby spoon out? :13:

The people on this forum are giving more credit to YK for apparently asking Afridi to bat at #3 than Afridi himself for scoring the match winning runs, which I find amusing.

Do the delivery men who supply the food for Gordan Ramsey's restaurants get any credit? Didn't think so. They may have provided the incrediants but ultimately, it's down to the chefs. So the point I'm trying to make is that people are exaggerating YK's contribution.

All of the above is taking into account if YK did infact come up with these so called brilliant master class game plans that some of the PP fans seem to believe. So I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, even though it's not much because look at what YK has done for Pak since being captain:

- Lost an ODI series in Pakistan vs Sri Lanka
- Lost a Test series in Pakistan vs Sri Lanka
- Lost an ODI series Vs Australia
- Lost an ODI series vs Sri Lanka
- Lost a test series vs Sri Lanka
- Pathetic performance in the CT
- Lost an ODI series Vs NZ
- Won the T20 WC

Let's face it. Had Afridi not fired in those 2 innings, this might have been the worst year for Pakistan cricket in the history of the game. Do we really want someone like that back as captain?
Before you spoon feed my anything you better get your fact straight..

1. Shoaib Malik was the cpatina for ODI series lost to Srilanka in Pak and not YK.
2. The test series against Srilanka in pAkistan was a draw and not won by Srilanka as stated by you :)

So get your fact straight first.

[Zaz]

Come on yk, this is the time ur country needs you, please be available for the aus series

[Crucifier]

Taking point #1 and 2 away doesn't make it any better considering the staggering amount of series we've lost this year under YK's captaincy.

[insaaniyat]

1. Fair enough.

2. The test series was won vs Sri Lanka. They won the first test and the second test was headed for a draw. So Sri Lanka were 1-0 up, that makes them the winners.

Taking point #1 away doesn't make it any better considering the staggering amount of series we've lost this year under YK's captaincy.
Agreed

[Guenon123]

Yes, We need our best one-down batsman in the test squad and don't forget he is an excellent slipper.

Plus, he has normally scored runs and stabilized Pakistan's shaky batting line-up in foreign conditions many many times as the statistics suggest. Please bring him back, at least as player.

[saeed-sohail]

First test against SL was a draw haters.It was same test where Younis khan scored TRIPLE HUNDRED.
As for Mr agree I would suggest you read the post and then agree or else you will end up with egg on your face like this morning.

I want Younus Khan back in the team whether he performs or not!
Atleast he'll be able to set better fields and grab some good catches

YK zindabad !

[saeed-sohail]

I disagree with you:)
Why?

[Usman]

Saj, please let Younus know that there is nobody in the world doubts his ability as a batsmen and we as fans back him to come through because class is forever. We understand that some players have made it difficult for him to captain, but if he quits this easily he will only ever be remembered as a captain who never fullfiled his potential as a player or captain. Looking back on it in 10 years time, he may well regret it. But if he comes back now, he will be remembered as one of Pakistan's greatest ever batsmen and captains who overcame many troubles in his carear to lead Pakistan to many glorious victories. He could still be regarded in the league of Imran, but only if he comes back with determination to prove his critics wrong. We his fans have no doubt that he can do this, because he is after all a world class batsmen and captain who we are so very lucky to have.

Saj could you also find out about his personal availability for the Aus tour and how badly his injury has effected him.

Thanks a lot for this Saj!

[Monsee]

Younus Bhai, you are a grown up man and Pathan at that...if you want to be like Imran Khan...then come back in the next tour, play as a regular batsman, and prove all your doubters wrong by scoring tons of runs, in the process helping us win the series against Australia.

If you cannot take pride in playing for the country and providing a few moments of pleasure and dignity for Pakistanis...who are suffering much more adversity everyday (including worrying for their life) then just retire. I will respect that too.

Thanks

Saj, can you please send the messages from this thread to YK and tell him we are all very disappointed with his constant shenanigans and he should just retire...if he cannot tour Australia then what is the point playing against other teams!

All responsibility should be on his shoulders for not playing Domestic Cricket to be in contention for the tour down under...we had not played test cricket for over a year; what exactly is there which made him so tired?

Politics happen every where in Pak...you don't see too many people quitting like him, everyone just learns to take the issue in their strides

[saeed-sohail]

Dear sir,
Being a fan pakistan cricket for past 22 years you are one of the very few players I admire for hard work, honesty,and dedication to maximize your talent.You have been a true ambassador of our nation on and off the field for past decade and thank you for bringing joy to millions of people by winning T20 WC.
I know these are hard times in your cricketing career but I would like to inform you that true pakistan fans are right behind you.We know you have been wronged by PCB fools.Younis khan never think that we dont appreciate you as fans we love you and respect you sir.
Thank you for leading us to a world cup win.We are proud of you.

apologise for what? making a mockery of the captaincy issue or fan beating?

Why is YK to blame for the captaincy issue? What would you do if you are the captain and you get to know that 7-8 of your players are standing united against you in a revolt and the PCB has no intentions of supporting you? In such a situation, you'll either wait for the PCB to kick you out or you'll quietly step aside (which is exactly what YK did).
As for the fan beating incident, were you present in the stadium at that time? Did you witness the incident yourself? How can you be so confident that he actually 'beat' the fan?

[Ryankhan]

What a love thread.....I totally agree with you and i really wish YOUNIS makes a strong comeback into test matches against ENG n AUS.....I really want him to be the test captain as he has the perfect ingredients of becoming a great captain and a great leader. Under him in 2009 test matches when he was the leader, he were dominating throught the entire days and one bad session cost us the whole series so that was very sad....I wish YOUNIS comes back and we really need him BADLY....i dont think he should have been banned.......

Imran never won a wc, it was team. Pak won as team was upto it in 1992 and couldn't perform before and after.

Ponting never won a WC, it was Aus.

Wake up, and stop beating the drum that YK won T20, if any player could do by himself he would love to do every time.

CRICKET is a team sport not Tennis that a player won a grand slam.

[Black Zero]

I meant YK won any test under his captaincy.
I think YK was just stand by in that test. You almost gave me heart attack.
Inzimam was the actual Captain, though YK was man of the series.

No Younus Khan was the captain for that test. And thus, he won the test we captained. It is like saying Ponting conquered the final frontier...when he really did not. Gilly was captain for the tests they won, and by not giving credit you would be insulting Gilly like you have to YK.

If Malik was captain, I bet you would cream yourself and say 'oh yes he deserves it."

[Amir]

If he won us WC single handily, then why he didn't win CT single handily for pakistan.

Where did he say he single-handely won us it? He said he was the winning captain which is true.

Anwar I must say I am stunned. Your an engineer and engineers are known to work on logic. Yours seems to be flawed because you want to deny him of any victory....when in fact the facts simply state...Younus was captain when we won.

Ever heard of term "stand by captain"?

That was the only test that had result but inzi got series trophy. right?
As per your logic, YK was the right person to receive it.

Winning captain of T20, I agree to this point.
But I strongly disagree with statement "That YK won us the T20 WC"

Inzi was our national captain, but that does not mean Younus was not the winning captain in that test. When Gilly won in India, Ponting and Gilly both lifted the trophy. Does that mean Australia have two captains? Pretty stupid logic if that was the case.

In the end this is how the result reads: Pak beat India by 341 runs, capitan: Younus Khan.

As for T20, a captain's job is more than just with the bat. He is essentially a football manager. Younus had his field settings spot on, his bowling changes spot on, has his batting order spot on after some blips and most importantly...instilled some self belief and confidence in a team known to choke as of late. Younus did not win it single-handlely...but he won it deservingly and was a big chunk of that. To deny that is to deny Malik's good work in T20 WC2007.

[shehzadd]

I disagree with you:)

We have to close the chapter of most batsmen in our team. We axed them and callup them again and again. This is really nonesense. I already posted 10s of posts that these guys Amin and Azhar needs a lot of improvement to play international cricket. but nobody was listening to nobody. Now the same ppl on this forum r talking about the replacement of faisal Iqbal and even yasir hameed.
so a lot of Pak Cricket lovers want to see again same players playing for Pak who already got axed from team many times.

Now it is the time to bring the chiefslector from another country. This is just too much.

[waqar_ahmad]

If he won us WC single handily, then why he didn't win CT single handily for pakistan.

So, if the team wins a tournament under a captain, he should win all the tournaments after that too?

How old are you?

[shehzadd]

Our team can never become a nr 1 team in the world if we give the same players again and again chance. We have to be like AUS. Once a player is out of form than give him enough time to perform. Even than If he does not perform than axe him just once and dont bring him back again and again.
We have a very nonesence cricket management.

However, these traits are shared by all leading Pakistani cricketers; in fact, Yousuf, Akhtar and Afridi are all worse than YK in this regard, and one could live with this.

The galling thing is that even cricketing non-entities like Malik, Umar Akmal etc seem to have this problem!

But the difference b/w YK and the others is that atleast the others are aware of ground realities and of the real powers in the country. YK is still under the illusion the PCB will come begging to him. He should just get this over with, apologize to the PCB and get back into the side. No one will hold it against him and it will all be forgotten sooner than we all think in a country with short term memory loss.

I dont understand whts their problem with younis. if chairman or the manager has the problem with it then the selector n captain n coach should challenge the decision which is against younis. they should defend him by saying younis must be in the team otherwise we are of the duty.....selectors n management should know without their front man test batsmen they just ccannot win a test match. younis n yousuf makes ur middle order look stronger and other teams will definitely come under immense pressure when they know they will gonna get a long day to get them out thats how these 2 plays. last time pak toured eng in 2006. both these batsmen put up more then 200 partnerships so tht shows they are must for eng tour....i salute YK n hope he makes his comeback in teh 2nd test.

[pakcricketfan]

Yesterday, in an interview, Sarfaraz Nawaz appealed to YK to apologise to Ijaz Butt so that he could be sent to England and save the team. Saf said that the nation knows that YK is not the culprit.. but still, he should apologise to Butt for the sake of the team.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's really frustrating to see what's going on! :po:
If PCB can recall Yousuf (who announced retirement and did not even appeal against the ban), then they MUST also recall YK who is available for selection.

SK I am very disappointed by your comments.You say he has over inflated ego now let's take you back to march when players were banned.YK followed the appeal procedures set by PCB and appealed yousaf did not.After his ban was lifted he came to surrey to play cricket to get himself in shape while likes of malik and yousaf played no cricket during that time.
I am yet to come across a single statement from YK blaming PCB or any of his teammates others accused him of all sorts through their agents. Yousaf and Malik came out on tv and ripped into each other.
Now if it was YK who did not appeal and he was not recalled I would say fair enough he did not even bother to appeal because of his ego he has not played for six months but mere bhai he followed the procedures and appeal and once ban was lifted he made an effort to play FC cricket didn't just sit at home and expect a recall.

Who asked Afridi to bat at #3? If he had failed who would we balme?
Who had the courage to drop or keep the best batsman of 2007 T20 lower on the batting order so Afridi and likes can perform? Who had the guts to open the bowling with a 17 year old kid that was unknown to the world? Did the indvidual players made all those decisions or was it YK? Do you think Moyo will be making these kind of decision if he was Captain?

My friend you have to understand a very simple fact about Captaincy and that is a Captain cannot play for his player and peform for them. One thing he can do is to give his players confidence and put them in a position so the can give the best for the team. YK did both in the T20 WC and hence we won. No one is doubting that individual players performance contributed but I am also convinced that if YK was not the Captain we would not have won the T20 WC.

Very well said.
