A lot of comments coming through - the latest from Zaheer Abbas.  Are these driven by selfish motives or genuine concern?

New Zealand cry foul over his removal but was the ICC justified in its actions?

How would you rate the following in terms of importance?

The Champions Trophy may well be over, but looking back in hindsight there are many questions that come up.  One being 'Why Broad let Tredwell face the final three deliveries?'

What do you reckon the thinking was behind that?

edia people are suggesting his name to be captain.

People go on talking about him like he is an outstanding batsman and one to look out for the future in ODI. 

Honestly I am confused by the treatment he is being given. 

We keep on bashing that Malik, Younus , Afridi Farhat are all ODI failures, but do not mention Asad Shafiq.

Do people even bother looking at stats. I think he should be sent packing for the next ODI series and be replaced by someone who does well in domestic.

Lets look at this from stats.

Asad Shafiq has a domestic OD average of 39. Nothing spectacular, there are many guys in domestic with far better records.

But OK lets look at the international scene:

In 2012 he had 11 innings for 267 runs at an avg of 26.7 and SR of 71, 2 50s and 0 100s
In 2013 he has had 6 matches, 143 runs at an average of 23.83 and a SR of 73 with 1 50.

Here is the best part about his 2013, his 1 50 is against Ireland, take that out and we are looking at 60 runs in 5 innings! How is that not a complete failure??

That is quite a bad record over the last 17 games. Lets be honest, none of us would want a batsman averaging around 25 in our middle order.

His performance are just as bad as Farhat. 

lets be honest his game is not suited for ODI and instead of being made captain he should be dropped and replaced by someone else like Harris Sohail!

Disucss!

So the disappointing Champions Trophy is done and dusted, next up for Pakistan is a tour of West Indies. 

What changes do you expect to see in the squad and what changes are you hoping to see in the squad?

Unfortunately in Pakistani cricket those are two very different questions!

We have already heard many rumors of Afridi, Younus, Gul & Umar Akmal returning for the tour of the Caribbean - do you agree with any or all of these changes, or do you think it is just a case of one step forward two steps back?

Although Pakistan's pace attack performance in CT13 was decent but it appear that  it still has work to do specially when it comes to bowl with new ball. Could the presence of a decent swing bowler up front make a difference?
