105 wickets in 20 games @ 18.00, SR 39.6.
What do you guys think? Where will he end up? Will he end up in the league of Wasim, Waqar, McGrath etc? Or will he be found wanting in the subcontinent?
As Pakistan's main bowling weapon, is Ajmal being overbowled? Dav Whatmore feels that he should be looked after carefully - Do you agree?
We Don't Have Decent Openers.
We Don't Have Decent All rounders.
We Don't Have A Wicket Keeper Who Can Catch & Bat.
We Don't Have Decent Spin Bowlers Other Than Ajmal.
We Don't Have Decent Pace Bowlers Other Than Junaid & Irfan.
We Don't Have Captain Who Can Select His Own Playing 11 Or Have Any Say In Selecting The Squad. (no disrespect to Misbah as a team player before anyone starts having a go at me)
Seriously We Are Becoming A Joke,
Can Anyone In Pakistan Play The New Ball ?
Do we have a leg spin or off break all rounders ?
Why is it that we are not trying new keepers like mohammed rizwan and others
Why is Hasan Raza not being groomed to take over Ajmal
Why is no one being groomed as a new captain (no disrespect to misbah, only because Misbah is getting old we need someone after the WC)
Rant Over
We all know that a large part of the country is no go zone. But one has not heard of any major issue in the Punjab for a while. So here is my suggestion, during the IPL window we should invite Zimbabwe to play a series in Pak. In return for doing so we should agree to pay all the past due payments the Zim cricket board has been unable to pay its cricketers, and also to pay all costs for the trip including player costs.
It may be a bit expensive but it will get cricket back in the country allow our boys to play in front of their own crowds, and show we are capable of having cricket in our country. I think Zim players will go for it. You can play the matches in Lahore, Faisalabad and Multan, or even Pindi and Sialkot.
I really dont get it why they are bowing short or short of a good length !
Even with the new ball they hardly pitch it up.
They act as of they grew up in AUS or SA, Looking at the history PAK bowlers always bowl a fuller length and also yorkers.
By doing so on these slow dead tracks they allow batsmen to score easy runs.
Every one sees this and mentions this then why dont they change this.
Saj or Mig you guys talk to certain people close to the team and at times even the players please could you ask them why they do this.
Its really frustrating to see. Rahat and junaid could be really dangerous if they pitch it up. Bhatti when on debut bowled really good fuller lengths but even he looks obsessed now with half trackers !!!
After this 0-5 in Tests now England will face a whitewash in ODI series against Australia. Their body language is already down and Australia on papers is a much better one day side than England. Australia even after losing the Ashes series in England still won the one day series.
