Re: Asia Cup -- Pakistan vs Bangladesh 4th July 2008
^ you can't just "not play" a scheduled match...
the good that came out of this match was that we got to see more of the new talent that was introduced recently - including Rauf and Jamshed who look quite promising... Rauf even more so today than in his game against India.
Hopefully, with two consecutive good performances these players will be retained for another few matches to help gauge them better.
Re: Asia Cup -- Pakistan vs Bangladesh 4th July 2008
I hope this is a good lesson for the likes of Habib-ul-Bashar and future Captains of Bangladesh, that they should keep their "words" in control and not give the kind of statements he gave after they qualified in world cup 2007 next round while Pakistan and India were out. We should remember our bad times when we achieve something instead of reaching the sky.
