Many Posters getting irritate that why Gul is being criticized. So here I’m giving facts and figures about his v v medicor performance. He is the most senior bowler and should lead the team but unable to use new ball (waisay purai ball kay sath bhi koi teer naheen chalta hay).
Last Time he took 5 wickets in Mar 2009 and after this during Jul 2009 to onwawrd, just check where he is standing. Why Tanvir, Cheema are not getting more chances as he availed ? Cheema is also a very hard working bowler along with Tanvir but they couldn’t get as much chance as Gul got outside the Asia. I know their age was hinder but why we are stop giving chances to young blood after giving 1 or 2 chance ?

Comparison with other Pakistani former pacers
Qualification : 100 or more wickets / Morethen 40 matches
This man got 5 wkts only 4 times and never able to get 10 wkts. Okay suppose if we say 5 wickts haul is not a great achievement then can any one tell how many times he was the reason to win a test match (i m sure there will be 3 or 4 occasions only )
