One word: PATHETIC.
You cannot make an international bowler out of a club bowler. He will never be Asif and today proved it. He should never ever play for Pakistan again.
This is not hindsight. I have said this right through this tournament.
OK i am done venting.

Re: Rana Naveed
now the PSA event will also not go forwarded :(
Rana won't be part of a first choice fast bowling unit which should comprise of Asif, Amir and Gul... but today's loss isn't Rana's fault or the fault of any bowler.
we need to have a hard look at the batting strategy in ODIs. Nazir will never learn to bat... he does NOT have a brain. he is not the solution to our opening woes. Kamran throws his wicket away after 30s and 40s. Younis blocks and blocks in the name of dropping anchor but never drops the anchor... when he inevitably gets out at the worst possible time, he puts too much pressure on others who not only have to preserve wickets to prevent the team from getting bowled out early but also have to resurrect the run rate which Younis kills with his blocking...
Re: Rana Naveed
He didn't do well today but can't blame Rana for today's loss. All pace bowlers got hammered during the powerplays. Besides, our batsmen should ideally have done the same to NZ during the powerplays but unfortunately, we don't have the batsmen to do so.
Gul hasnt done much either...I know Rana shouldnt be in the team but Gul's record of late isent all that impressive either. He leaks runs and doesent get wickets against top sides in tests and ODIS....this is a worrying trend.
People keep saying Gul is our strike bowler but being the standout bowler in 20-20 cricket isent anything to write home about.
For all his issues, Asif is a strike bowler who gets wickets...so does Shoaib Akhter. Gul needs to be told we expect more of him...otherwise Pakistan's first choice attack should be - when fit - Shoaib Akhter, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Asif..with Gul carrying drinks..
As for Rana, having the Captain as one of your best buddies doesent hurt....
Re: Rana Naveed
***Our batting fielding and bowling leaves a lot to be desired !
We crack under pressure ..........***
Re: Rana Naveed
Wasn't he a hero of the previous match?
Anyway you cannot blame loss to one player or attribute win to one plAyer. It's a team sport. 233 runs wasn't a winning score IMO
Re: Rana Naveed
IMO rana's a T20 player cuz he can bat a bit
but i totally agree with u asif should've played todays match
Re: Rana Naveed
It is not about today's loss. My point is that preferring him to Asif was wrong.
thanx to simon taufel 
and shoaib and younis shud go commit suicide
tail enders performed better then them
