**n so is butt ..

Afridi in

Squeeky the joker Akmal gone.................

25

what a contrast between yesterday and today. Why our players give up so easily and do not fight at all. I think team need to see a psychiatrist there is some problem with their mentality and approach how to tackle in different situations.
Once Malik and Butt departed we still had so many overs to go, Afridi and Akmal should have played till end, no one in this team play well in pressure.

Younis aur Misbah takalluf hi kar rahay hain batting karnay ki. :smack:

Because they are jokers+chokers. Simply as that.

I would ike to see Yasir Arafat replace Afridi as the genuine all rounder in the side. Arafat has been bowling consistently in the county circuit for 2 years now. Afridi's batting is gone now. He has worked more on his bowling and should play as a bowler only.

35

So what are they than ?

36

How about cricketers/players?

Pakistan played well in the first match, because of playing less cricket. They wanted to make the most, of the chance they were given.

But 2 matches in 4 days, is again, too much cricket for Pakistan. They are already choking.

^ 2 matches in as many days, they have never played back to back matches at home.

What sort of cricketers/players are they?

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka - 2nd ODI @ Karachi, Tuesday Jan. 21st

It's less due to back-to-back matches but rather the amount of runs given away to easily and that were atleast 40-50.

A 240 Target is still managable but 290 was always tough to chase with constantly 6runs/over.

Further the woeful response from Top + Middle Order did the rest. U can't expect Afridi + Akmal and Tanvir to score 120 runs at 6.5/over

That's the job of the Top + Middle Order. Now this is where MoYo is missing painfully. We've to accept that with him banned the stablizing-factor isn't there anymore.

I remember the last series we played in SAF. The 2nd ODI where Yousaf scored a 100 while Afridi and Imran Nazir Walloped the SAF Bowling. Barry Richards said during his commentary "with Yousaf around Pakistan can score way beyond 300 but not with headless slogging". The final Score was something close to 350 i think.

So the sooner the Ban is lifted the better it is. Imran Nazir + Razzaq would do a world of good to this team.

Only thing to sort out would be the Malik vs. Seniors-Problem/Matters
