/\ I agree with you…Alam should have been in the Pakistan T-20 Squad…I only watched him 3 times playing for Pakistan…and concluded that he is the batsman who can make 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s and 6s (pretty hard working guy) and most importantly he doesn’t want to throw away his wicket…that means he wants to play long innings …simply cool…

I think Sohaib Maqsood is a great player with excellent shots and is must in for ODIs and t20s abd would serve Pakistan for along time.. Fawad can play in ODis but not fot T20s. Shahzaib is an excellent hitter for T20s.

Post match analysis with Miandad and Yousuf

That Maxwell innings is still on my mind
What an innings
But we won in the end thanks to Lala Gul and Ajmal in the end

An Indian fan wrote this in cricinfo.com’s comment section. Its bitter and Pak fans might not like it, nonetheless it shows the mirror. Glorifying a tukka team only gives false hope and more often headaches.
“Unpredictability or mercurial team is nothing but a sugar coated word for the term “Inconsistent or flashes in pan brilliance”. A word conjured up by the fans to give some “fluke” wins a sugar coating. Lets analyse…If Afridi score once in 25 innings it is called boom boom king but if a Maxwell hits a flurry of sixes he is called lucky. If Indian bowlers leak runs its called normal but if they take wickets or restrict opposition it is called getting lucky of BCCI flexing their financial muscles. If Pakistani bowlers take wickets , its talent oozing but if they leak runs its termed as just a bad day at office.If akmal score big ,it is coined as potential unleashed but if Rohit sharma scores 200 it is called flat track .Well I guess sugar coating is good if it gets you good sleep at night especially if you weak team disappointing you more often than not.”

Some people still have not got over the phenti in Asia cup. It is amazing how the flukes kept coming when Pak last visited India and beat the pants off the team from Mars. Lets see what maxwell and co do to India.

Maxwell, India’s nightmare:

He is definitely something to watch out for

Fluke is when you successfully defend a small total like India’s shock WC win against Windies in 1983
Pakistan’s unpredictability stems mainly from their inconsistent & fragile batting (bowling has been consistently good for so many years although current pacers are okish) but you don’t score 190+ against one of the better attacks in World Cricket (purely) by luck rather than skill. Some of Umar Akmal’s shots were breathtaking. Even Manjrekar and Ganguly seemed impressed with his stroke play.
Re: World T20 - Group 2: Australia v Pakistan at Dhaka, Sunday 23rd March. H/L Post#4
However Pakistan’s win against India in Asia Cup could be described as lucky because remember Pak were 237/9 chasing 245 and none of those two Afridi sixes were esp. timed well

This comment is more of street-boy to street-boy analysis/response, not a good analysis IMO.

Jaan deyo gussa Asif bhai
We chased against Bangladesh too
Re: World T20 - Group 2: Australia v Pakistan at Dhaka, Sunday 23rd March. H/L Post#4
That wasn’t a fluke 
Re: World T20 - Group 2: Australia v Pakistan at Dhaka, Sunday 23rd March. H/L Post#4
But still Lala played an amazing innings in that match too
Re: World T20 - Group 2: Australia v Pakistan at Dhaka, Sunday 23rd March. H/L Post#4
That’s what I meant. Lala’s sixes in that game were all well-timed hits, not tukka
