When the environment around him (and others) does let go through such antics not once not twice but on regular basis what message do u think is sent out to all socalled super stars ???

But then again a whole society and thus country needs an overhaul in this very aspect …

This I can agree with. Sometimes I think we deserve better players. Then again, sometimes I think we don’t. But anyway, I’ll happy select a million Azhar Alis in my team before I even think of Umar Akmal. By the way, that was in some respects the point I was making.

If Azhar Ali can come from the same environment and know his limits, this kal ka chokra should too!

Ramiz is trying to be the Pakistani version of Tony Greig … however at times i think he makes a mockery of himself while trying to spice/hype things up

And failing miserably at that, agreed. He was an average player, and now an average commentator. But he seems to be trying too hard to give a media face to Pakistan’s cricket. But the guy himself needs a lot of grooming and learn to manage his expectations.

How can a player who can’t improve on his shortcomings in a few months, years, be deserving of so much praise that he bestowed upon Umar Akmal. Somebody ask him that. It’s almost like Umar Akmal thinks he was born Bradman.
