Can Younis Khan lead this side to greater feats post WC 07

Re: Can Younis Khan lead this side to greater feats post WC 07

Younis is a joke when it comes to one day games. I don't mind him being the captain of the test side but for one days he should not even be in the team. We should have Yousaf or Shoaib as captain of Pak one day team. We also need some new blood. Look at this Bangladesh Tamim guy. I was smitten by his strokeplay. Imagine that we have come to the point that we are getting impressed by Bangladesh players. Hats off to them for their hard work and hunger to win

Younis has won one day games over the last year. At least a couple during the England tour he scored big. Too much reliance on Yousuf and Younis just puts more pressure on them. Miandad might have been great under pressure, but also Miandad had better support. I think Yousuf is better, and Younis even, they just need a better team around them.

@smooth_guy

You can laugh all day long. But the only captainship material in the team is Shoaib Malik. The guys has not only very sharp cricketing brain, but is a known fighter. He has led Sialkot to many victories and have launched them as the real threat for Lahore and Karachi’s dominance in Pakistan cricket. His fighting spirit and never give up mentality is similar to Khan sahib.

but he also gave away a game in twenty20, that will count against him

Pathetic reason to go against him.. he showed some aggresiveness.. if anything, he should be considered for this due to that… Bravo to him

@GoldenAsif

Miandad is the greatest Pakistani batsmen ever under pressure.

No second opinion on that one :k:
he was the only person for whom people said

“Abhi Miandad hay naa crease par - Match kahin nahin gaya”

Re: Can Younis Khan lead this side to greater feats post WC 07

Problem is not with the people. It is the process. Damn it.

that is there and leadership comes from the same. True leadership, not gali ga ghunda leadership. Which I am sure many of the current players have much of even now (other than INZI)

Only problem my friend,

1. Aamir knows jack sh*t about selection...he's full of it ... 2.even Malik is a gulli danda captain...or Kancha match type...no discipline....he threw a match purposely and declared it as well... he won't be accepted well in the int' community... so at best, I would give the captaincy to MoYo.

Re: Can Younis Khan lead this side to greater feats post WC 07

Younis Khan? The one we saw before Champions trophy? then performance in CT? Is he an ODI player at all? First we made Inzi a captain because he was "senior", then we make a captain who shouldn't be in ODI team? Yeah, I see a repeat of WC 2003, 2007 in WC 2011. Inzi was made captain, which he tried to adapt and wasted his batting energy and couldn't do much in last year of his tenure.

Re: Can Younis Khan lead this side to greater feats post WC 07

Before guppies try to think about Younis Khan's captaincy, can they please rate his vice-captaincy as comapred to Miandad in '92 and Moin Khan in '99? He probably was the most absent vice-captain we ever had, don't give me that Inzi never asked him, his duty as a vice-captain was to make his point on the field.

[gravity_killz]

Re: Can Younis Khan lead this side to greater feats post WC 07

Inzi's biggest failing IMO has been his stubbornness and his unwillingness to try new players out. He has been in charge for almost 4 years so can't complain. Had we had a more dynamic captain than Inzi, I am sure Samiullah Niazi, Jamshed Ahmed, Anwar Ali and Fawad Alam among others would have all played one-day or test cricket by now.

very well said ... this has been his biggest problem ... wasim was the last captain to give us some talented faces

Yousuf has never come across as captaincy material to me. Very dull personality (duller than Inzi). He's too laid back and his linguistic skills are even worse than Inzi's. We need someone who is a little aggressive and passionate about the game, has good conversational and communication skills and aboveall can inspire the team and make them fight like a unit. Younis Khan or Afridi (I hate to say this) are better choices IMO. Younis Khan has made a few blunders for sure recently but I still think he's the best choice in the current circumstances. His short stand-in captaincy stints are not enough to judge his real potential as a future captain.

Re: Can Younis Khan lead this side to greater feats post WC 07

^ bhai GA..
I meant if at all from the current mix, then MoYo.
I really don't care right now...
too depressing a situ...
lets forget it for now.

Re: Can Younis Khan lead this side to greater feats post WC 07

younus khan is a horrible choice for a captain. why? list the qualities of a great captain, and then honestly rank younus against each factor.

Shoiab Malik. New blood.

IF they beat Zimbies

The ONLY possible permutation is if Ireland withdraws their team from the World Cup. Pakistan is in such a miserable situation that even if either Zimbabwe or West Indies withdraw their team, Pakistan will still be left out of Group 8.

Re: Can Younis Khan lead this side to greater feats post WC 07
