It was a good game but did you see the ridiculous amount of no-balls and extras that the Pakistanis conceded??? Sadia, I'll have to agree with you on that one!
110% agree with you Sadia, for the fact Australia and South Africa are at a higher grade level than Pakistan.
Dervaish, you have to look at it in many cathegories than playing on the field, look at the part of teamwork and enthusiasm.
For instance, some Pakistani’s don’t get along with one another, for the silliest reasons. Why!? Is that working hard to build a team for the future?
Friendship/encouragment/team, is the first step in making a team successful. Cricket is not a one man show.
How come there is times when Pakistani players don’t show up for practice on time or don’t even care about showing up? Making it frustrating for the PCB? Is that hard work?
Australian’s, have strong discipline, be on time, to the extreme chance of being cut also.
That’s what John Wright the new Kiwi coach of India, wants to bring into the Indian team, just like Sri Lankan team did, before WC96.
Yes of course there is statistics to prove this… but I’ll let someone show that off.
If you base everything off the World Cup, then that’s absolutly wrong. Look at everything from the past to the present.
Constancy is a big to show a team’s potential and team effort.
Might I remind you, at the time of Pak vs. Aus Test Series in Australia, many senior Pakistani players abused the South African coach, and got rid of him, because they didn’t want to oblige to his rules of bat now, bowl now, bad fielding, they wanted to be their own boss (and you know what happened in Australia after sunset

)
Also what’s the deal with new coaches and captains all the time?
Sure every team works hard.. but then you fall onto the part of, is the heart in there to show up for every practice, get disciplined, play with all your might, friendship, and so on.
Geoffry Boycott eh? Well that’s great! Pakistan is improving their “Work Hard” habit, realizing you have to push to get something done in this World.

Oh and explain why, Pakistan even admitted for saying Australia and South Africa are hard workers, and that’s one goal we’re trying to focus on. The captain/coaches/PCB also mentioned many other stuff about Australia and South Africa in a good manner.
(No sir I don’t think I’ll be able to go into archieve, and dig out a old article like that. I’m sure if you paid attention to Pakistan for the past 3 years, you’d remember some like that).
Wonder why South Africa and Australia never say anything about Pakistan as a team, but individually praising players like Wasim, Saeed, etc…
“Pakistan’s just being nice in their articles?”, well I don’t think “lieing and sincerity” win’s you games.
Speak the truth or don’t say nothing.
As far as I think, Pakistan has better talent than South Africa and the Australia.
Statically, both teams are better than us because they have more confidence in themselves and they are more responsible.
Unlike us, who thinks winning the necessary matches is the only thing and shouldn't even try to play the matches that are not even important.
For example, we lost Bangladesh in the world cup which we cannot even makeup that lost if we even beat them thousand times.
Thank you, come again
congratzzzz Pakistan!!

Pakistan is great -
At losing !
Lost to NZ by over 120 runs in the 4th ODI
Where are our bowlers ? The great Saeed Anwar ? Our Shoaib Aktar ?
Forget it guys. Don't have high hopes. We may be on the way to losing this series.
Then we will work on losing the Tests.
Btw, do our players feel ashamed after such losses or do we just blame it on luck ?
Or on the great NZ batsmen and their great fast bowlers ?
Same story, different day.
