Re: B%^%%&
Although the article is a little discourteous in its tone, I wonder when we’ll learn to self-reflect and see why someone would say something about us – may be we are truly responsible?
e.g.
1. Pakistan's cricketing culture is a mess
No doubt in my mind about that one!
2. Young batsmen … run between wickets like schoolboys and lose their wickets too easily.
After watching the likes of Youhana, and Salman Butt, I’m kinda glad they didn’t implicate the senior players of the same thing.
3. Its fastest bowler has his own agenda.
I think 80% of the KK membership agrees on this one too!
4. Senior men miss significant matches, yet report for duty in every 50-over caper.
This one hurts but it may be true…

This article is a perfect example how to find excuses for a badperformance (he does so in case of australia) and how to criticize a team just for the sake of it (Pakistan)
Re: B%^%%&
oops... wrong thread :)
Re: B%^%%&
Yeah, the bit about Pakistan's most experienced batsmen coming in late when the ball's shine has been taken off and the bowlers a bit on the tiring side so that they can quite comfortably score [the minimum runs required to maintain their averages] and the fact that Pakistan's top batsmen only flourish in the oneday game are definitely right on...
