I note a lot of us would like Pak team to be rebuilt from scratch.

Assuming that the PCB took our advice and put in untested younger players, is there an appetite to see them lose in favour of a promise of improvement in say 2 years time?

Does the paying public and the PCB have the patience to allow players to grow in their roles?

I believe that this issue is the one reason why we dont see wholesale changes. I dont see this changing.

I know there is hardly any player in current Pakistani team who can see off 2 new balls or at least can sruvive first 10 overs. But are you able to mention 2 players (including current international+domestic players) that you think are better thn others as ODI openers for Pakistan to survive these 2 new balls at least 10-15 overs without putting so much pressure on the team by scoring 20 runs in 10 overs...They should be able to face any bowling attack on any surface in the world not only on sub continent pitches like Hafeez do against weak bowling attacks on sub continent pitches to prove he is an opener...

For me Jamshed is a permanent choice as opener for ODI's but from last few matches i noticed he is feeling so much pressure and not able to play his natural game...

With the World Twenty20 Event in Bangladesh in doubt, and ICC considering switching it to usual places such as Sri Lanka or South Africa, I was just thinking why can't they hold an ICC event in the UAE, considering they have their office in Dubai.

How would you rate the following in terms of importance?

 

-50 over World Cup
-Away series win against strong opposition - Aus, Eng or SA (changes depending on the strong teams of the era)
-Champions Trophy
-T20 World Cup
-Test series
- Asia Cup and other multi-nation tournaments
-Bilateral 50 over / T20 series
 

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?
