Re: Bangladesh v Pakistan – Jun 21
Looks like Afridi has all grown up. 
Well done, Afridi. :k: 2nd ton in 3 matches after becoming captain of the team.

What a deadly performance by Pakistan in a dead contest
Hope this is not our only win this summer
Tougher tests lie ahead

You have a point but we must understand our limitations. Our current batting is simply not of test quality, so do not be too surprised by a combined 6-0 thrashing this summer. The absence of the two Y's makes it more likely now. But after the expected beating by Australia, chances are, Younus atleast w'd be recalled (he might still turn it down...) for the tests against England
I remember back in the late 80s there was this nauras AD on PTV
muqaablay k baad hee hai jeet kaa maza
sakht ho muqaabla tau aur maza hai...nauras, nauras
Upon Pak cricket team's special request, the wording in the upcoming nauras AD has been amended slightly to:
(lagataar) haarney k baad hee hai khel ka maza
haar buri na ho tau iss mein kya bura hai......haha
Re: Bangladesh v Pakistan -- Jun 21
And it is unlikely we will get out of our current rut as long as we have A--**** like Ijaz Butt promoting nepotism and favouritism within the system and bringing their own personal likes and dislikes into consideration when picking teams for various tours...he should not even be poking his nose in selection matters
The decision to omit Younus is clearly political and influenced by Ijaz Butt
