Re: Loaded Topic…
have to agree with you on this one Jolie…cannot believe I am agreeing with this girl on something!!!
but that goes back to the same point that I am trying to make for last 31 hours 42 min and 30 seconds that fine, we know we have a weak batting and we know we crunch under pressure but can we do something abt it..
and yes there is no one easy quick solution but one factor that I see terribly missing in Pak cricket recently is presence of some kind of mature thought leadership in the dressing room…in WC 92, IK/Javed Miandad presence made a huge difference…even if IK was half dead, his presence alone was a boost for the team in that WC
ganguly with dravid and laxman turned it around..Fleming with C. carins and one other guy did really well for NZ..Naser Hussain with Alex Stewart and Michael Vaughan is a brilliant example…Arjuna with Arvinda and Gru Sinha is another brillinat brilliant example
and in all these teams flashy super-stars were some other players but the core quartet made the strategic difference
And after inzi , we are lacking that aspect…and now it is a complete disaster abd after misbah..you guys will see the impact. Talent alone will do nothing…keep kicking these old players (s0me shd be kicked)and keep bringing the new players but you are missing the leadership big time..we did a horrible job in transitioning in last 5 years…
