Reading the review of asyis inspired me to express my opinion on this Pakistan Cricket Team. Here is my school of thought on the present eleven players on the team:
Shahid Afridi: Oh what an explosive batsman with an average of twenty odd runs per innings. Still 18 years of age. He would tell his grandsons that he is the best batsman because he once scored a hundred in 37 balls. He went on to score a hundred in 37 balls against Sri Lanka in his second game and I don't remember one good innings that he has played after that.
Imran Nazir: He would play a lot better if he shaves off his eyebrows, because they reduce his visibility.
Yousuf Youhana: I definitely respect him as a batsman. Technically the best batsman in Pakistan. Has the ability to hammer the ball around and has excellent defence. But what about his attitude. He was fined by the Pakistan management because Yousuf Youhana won't show up at practice sessions.
Inzaman Ul Haq: Very dangerous, daring enough to run in the stands and beat someone up who called him an Aaloo. The result, even Boycott and commentators all across the world call him Aaloo. He ran pretty fast to get to the person who called him an Aaloo, but for some reason he can't run while batting. Loves to get his team mates run out. Smash a couple of lazy shots, turn singles to fours(by misfielding).
Rashid Latif: Why the hell is he in the Pakistan Team, with Moin Khan around. The great Pakistan selection committee. The world knows that Moin is a better choice.
Azhar Mehmood: He went on to score two back to back hundreds against South Africa a few years ago and hasn't scored a hundred after that. Gets whipped whenever he bowls.
Abdur Razzaq: One good game and he is injured in the next one.
Wasim Akram: The best bowler of the world. But what about his committment to the team. He surprized everyone by keeping Waqar Younis out of the team for the world cup 1999. Hahahahahahha........ that tells us about his agressiveness, not against opponents but against his own team members.
Waqar Younis: Back in the team, and now captains the side. The reason he still remains the captian is because he utters Bismila Rakha Ul Rahim during the presentation ceremony. Pakistan were dismissed for 53 and 59 against Australia in Sharjah, the so called Pakistan's favourite hunting ground.
Shoaib Akhtar: CHUCKELPINDI EXPRESS, Like Rawalpindi Express, he has a lot of stops, and doens't know how to operate. When can't get his line right, he simply chuks.
Saqlain Mushtaq: A good spinner but how come his name was not on the list for Australian series. Oh I see, he was playing for a county team in England because they were paying him more. In Pakistan all he gets his abuses and rotten eggs and tomatoes. That's why he is considered a smart spinner.
Now why doesn't Indian cricket team play Pakistan::
What do you guys have to provide a visiting team with:
1.Stupid stadiums. Pakistan has only one stadium with lights.
Stupid crowds: When you won against us in Chennai, the crowd congratulated you clows.
Bombs exploding outside the hotels, where the visiting team is staying.
Okay I have written everything wrong about you,but realistically Pakistan cricket team is the sorriest in the world not because they are short on talent, but because they completely lack commitment. Every single one of your team members have been accused of match fixing at some point of their career. Every single player of yours has openly blamed and abused another member of your team. Your best players have missed games just because they were playing for some english counties.
