I am telling you that the way these seniors are reacting against the win against this meek Zimbabwe team makes Pakistani team believe that they have transformed into a world's beater team who could match the ranks of India England South Africa or Australia.
They are coming up with reasons that justifies the selection of seniors by performing so badly in the first and to so me extent in the second inning. Its all about money and to make sure that these guys get the max from pakistani team by staying in it and not let any new competitor come in the team to take their place. Who are they making fool?If they were so good then what happened past England series that they won ,just the test series, in Dubai. They think people and fans are fool and they forget. Soon they will be exposed again about how average these cricketers are. My advice to them would be please play Scotland Ireland Zimbabwe Kenya and Bangladesh and believe in your self as how good your team is. I only follow the scorecard only to see the latest update.To me this cricket team has no sensation or excitement BECAUSE that comes from fresh faces not from people who are mean and want their places secured at any cost. I guess they are waiting for their sons and daughters to grow close enough that they can induct them in their place.
My full dua for Imran Farhat's wife that she gets well but had she not fallen sick he was suppose to be the part of the team as well. I mean how low the moral standards have come down to that until terminal illness or drum beat of death does not hound or surround our cricketers they will suck every penny from PCB irrespective of their performance. Someone rightly pointed why blame the players even if you ask Javed Miandad to come out of retirement and play he will not hesitate and will say some cricket was left in me when I was wrongly dropped so I might utilize for the sake of Pakistan my left over cricket of that time. As they say blame the selectors for repeating the same mistake knowingly wierd though! Who knows if they are paid kickbacks by our current senior players to retain their spot. No wonder Pakistan is among the most corrupt nations.
Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat, scoring 323 in their allotted 50 overs. This was also their highest ODI total against Bangladesh (at that time). Yasir Hameed scored 116 and meaningful contributions from Pakistan's middle order Mohammad Yousuf (49), Inzamam ul Haq (56), and Younis Khan (59).

Do you think there has been a decline in sportmanship in international cricket in recent years?
I have created a list of batsmen with highest percentage of team's runs in ODIs. Criteria was at least 1500 runs and at least 15% of team runs.
On Sri Lanka's tour of Pakistan in 1995, they had a new spinner to contend with as they kicked off the 1st Test in Peshawar. A 18-year old off-spinner from Lahore named Saqlain Mushtaq.
