Re: PAKISTAN vs INDIA: Dream T20 WC FINAL
A brilliant and exciting match – both teams gave a wonderful performance.
First of all I really feel sorry for Misbah Ul Haq and can understand how bad he must be feeling. One mistake and that gave India the cup – never mind; he played his part and nearly won the cup for Pakistan.
This was the first time I had a proper chance to watch Misbah Ul Haq play – he seems very confident and brilliant player and he proved it in the tournament.
The question is why didn’t he get selected or get into the Pakistan team much earlier. He is 33 years of age and how long can he go on for – may be 2-3 years maximum. The selectors kept on turning to tried and tested jokers like Hameed and Farhat but ignored this player and have wasted a wonderful talent.
Also, the dopey dictator may also have had some influence for not selecting him. Had he been part of Pakistan squad before and had he been performing I am sure he could possibly have been Pakistan captain by now.
Can someone please tell me why is the little squeaky screaming Akmal still part of the team? He can’t catch and can’t bat. There have been plenty of discussions about him and he is simply rubbish and a complete joker. He better learn quickly otherwise time may be running out.
What do you think Man With Plan – has he improved or still a learner? It may take same sort time as Younis Khan for squeaky to learn and become so called World class player. I simply don’t rate Akmal and never will. His earlier promise and innings to me were simply flash in the pan.
Let me turn my attention to the so called only World class batsman in Pakistan team Younis Khan. I personally think he has never been a great a one day player and certainly not a 20/20 player and will never be or suited for this type of game. You just have to look at his one day record and see how long it took him to score his one day century.
Great World class batsmen have the ability to turn games around in matter of few overs and I don’t think Younis has that ability or strike power to do this. He will however remain useful test batsman – simple as that.
What about Boob Boom Afridi? This was ideal opportunity for him to take on the Irfan the fake Pathan but proved a complete joker with the shot he played.
Apart from losing the final there are some good positive developments from this tournament for Pakistan especially with the discovery of Sohail Tanveer.
He looks a great prospect and possibly may have been wasted but thanks to Actor he got his opportunity and did a great job. I think with hard work and proper guidance he has the ability to become a great all rounder and this may mean end of other jokers such as Rana, Rao and Shabbira etc.
