All right. We have lost to india, agreed. But lets not forget cricket in pakistan was dead. And agaisnt all odds we got into semifinal now. So good show by pakistan!!
Clearly one talent we need to invest into is Wahab Riaz . He was a star yesterday. And we need to preserve him - from our politics, from any match/spot fixing issues, from any lalach of money. I remember Mohd Amir who emerged as the same talent and we no more have him. Same with Mohd asif. We are not short of talent but that talen does not remain with us for a very long time. We dont want to see the same thing happen to Wahab Riaz.
Lets start a campaign now - “LETS SAVE WAHAB RIAZ”

No need for campaign...Wasim already said several times prior to this match that all he needs to learn is how to bring the ball back in to the right hander...which I think he tried yesterday, otherwise he has a great future.
Void created by Shoaib's retirement, Amer's ban and junaid not there yet, Wahab will be a key cog to open the bowling alongside Gul.
Also in reality, he saved himself with that performance....5-fer in a semifinal....
If the World Cup 30s selected in January to be reviewed, we have some decent players in the pool already. Its a matter of reserving Aqib Javed and Zaheer Abbas for couple of months to fully polish them for Int'l arena. I bet we will have a world beater team in 12 months including ODI batting issues. We have likes of Umer Akmal and Asad Shafiq in the country, they are not just polished and need full time care under the top guns.
