Re: Pakistan Vs SA - ODI SERIES FINALE - 5th ODI - Willowmoore Park, Benoni
Team never looked like they were playing a decider. There was no urgency and innovation from the side. I am deeply disappointed with they way Younis, Afridi and Malik played through out this series. These players have replacements in the dressing room and those should be given a chance. Moreover, Irfan has been a find. He has shown great character in ODI and T20, however, his fitness level is still a question mark. Junaid needs to pace up and Wahab is looking at an early end to his career, can't believe he is the same guy who took 5 wickets against India in WC Semi final. Pakistan lacks a good bowling attack.
Hafeez should delay his plans for becoming a captain and concentrate on his batting. Just scoring runs in T20 won't cut it. He has been playing for a while now and needs to show leadership with respect to batting.
Pakistan badly misses a good pace attack and a solid middle order. Unless this is not resolved, we will never be able to compete with the world calss team in test and ODI.
Misbah is a great captain and played with true leadership. Sad that his age is not going to let him play for a longer period for Pakistan.

and we were ALL so damn happy when India lost the series to Pakistan after ALL those “Aane Do” ads…am sure Kholi curled up into a little ball and cried his little heart out.

I just hope IQ party is sent packing and Zaka sahab wakes up from the deep sleep he is in right with reference to selection and leadership in the team. Tests and ODIs need a revamp. Who can explain why UA, Haris did not play a single game throughout the 2.5 month tour????

Team selections, by and large, have been pathetic. You can't have so many test batsmen (1 or 2 consolidators are fine) playing in limited overs formats
