Re: Rameez's comments on Yousuf
I dont understand one thing, if some one "never" played a match winning inning, or even a real good century that was helpful for Pakistan to win in both forms of cricket then how he gets right to blame some one who was player of the year who broke the record of great Richard, who is a top class player who is 3rd highest runs scorrer in Test for Pakistan with best aveage and also 3rd highest in One Day Int. so who is Rameez now to say all this ?? Learn to appreciate !
You missed the point again, he is NOT doubting Yousuf's ability to play well, he is just commenting on his observation and it's his job.
Let's forget about first 45 overs as that's not where we are going wrong, look at this and decide whether Ramiz is right or wrong:
