I think Ramiz has been unfair, thats how Yousuf plays and he cannot play any faster than this. I mean some batsmen CAN slog others cannot. Yousuf does not have this ability. Havent seen him doing that.

I also agree with the others that Pakistan innings was pathetically slow. The main person to blame is Malik himself who exemplified this by playing painfully slow in first 15 overs. The score at end of 15 overs was 50!. Thats where we lost it.

Yousaf doesn't slog, but he does have the ability to hit fours and occasional sixes. Malik and Younis should take some of the blame too, but it could be argued that they played in the "consolidation" stage where it was necessary to build partnerships and not lose wickets, with the understanding that accelaration would come in the latter stages of the innings.

Malik, by the way, is not the ODI type who can score runs at will. And he didn't do himself any favors by laying the blame squarely on bowler's shoulders. Apparently the direction came from him to set a target of around 250, without realizing that 250 is just too small a target to defend these days.

Re: Rameez's comments on Yousuf

may be he got tired after scoring 90+ runs? last overs are crucial and bowlers are fresh. you need a new batsman who can play agressive cricket. don't blame yousuf otherwise score would have been 150.

Re: Rameez's comments on Yousuf

I have been noticing Rameez since the first ODI itself, he has been anti-yosuf since then. I guess Rameez personally hates yousuf mullah dhari, he needs to take it off...........honestly, I don't like it either.

Please cleanse your anti-religion bias, this is sports section, if you don't like his beard we don't care, goto Cafe to make a noise about it.

Its so annoying trying to explain it to people who are defending Yousef here... His performance with a 95 strike rate is GOOD on paper! If someone looks at the scorecard... its an excellent performance! But the way the last few overs were played was PATHETIC! That is EXACTLY the point!

Dont look at the score and the balls faced and say ah yeah,, good performance... see the way they batted in the last overs and you can tell that the nudges for singles and dot balls was just a horribly selfish display of batting... I mean fine, if someone tries, and doesnt succeed in getting boundaries, thats a different story, but god,, they didnt even try! There was no urgency. Fine, when someone opens that scorecard 6 yrs from now and looks at it,, yousaf played a good innings,, if he sees the recording of the last 10 overs,,,, he'll know it could have been a lot better.

The aim is to give your BEST to get the total as big as possible. The aim isnt to play a good individual innings and score 99 off 104 balls and come out and say, hay i did my part, look! the strike rate is 95.. what else do u want me to do. Why did the players build the innings and saved the wickets to the end?? why is it considered such an advantage? to have wickets at the death?? to freakin hit out! which they didnt!

Now dont give me one more stupid justification! it was pathetic batting by both Misbah and Yousef. They did a great job building the innings, and lost that advantage by not capitalizing on the wickets in hand.

Agree! But I think in the last ODI, both TRIED and failed so, whereas I have seen Yousuf playing with a different attitude in other ODIs. We could have done even more in these ODI's and yet he didn't even try to accelerate his game when badly needed so. Finally we been short of 10-15 runs in general.

And Tariq Sahib, I don't think that 255 was a good total especially, when knowing we have Indians to bat next. Almost 8 Batmen and then they are more consistant than Pak Team.

Re: Rameez's comments on Yousuf

you know what guys, i think MY should played for ICL it was much better at least he could get some respect after playing such a good inning. here even he play nice he get criticism, it seems like people are not happy in any condition he play. it seems like he is the only person who should play and others are forgiven. i haven't seen that much critics on other who couldn't play good at all as much as I have seen on him. Common guys talksing is very easy but litreally if he hit few and get in next over how many of us gurantee that pakistan would even complete 50 overs. pls leave the poor guy alone he is doing what ever he can do.

as far as ramiz concern, i don't know what is it from the first he is after him.
