Re: The curse of Pakistan Cricket Team Munda, why do u reckon Pakistani team gets into such mess constantly. Even lesser organized & poorer cricketing nations such as BD, dont make such news. Why PCB & Pakistan ?

Re: The curse of Pakistan Cricket Team I think a lot of off the field issues have contributed to the dismal record recently. There is plenty to do for Pakistan in the near future. They have to get a good opener if not two. The middle order is good enough and they will need to persist. Stop investing time and money on prima donnas like Shoaib Akthar. Get the domestic cricketers on injury management training so that they don't miss out every other game due to injuries. I don't believe in changing coach and captain bringing better fortune but surely Inzi must have had enough of this job already. Younis Khan looks pretty keen and leads from the front. Get him in ASAP. Don't sack Inzi, keep him. He is a good bat still and can play for another year or so. For once I felt sad for Inzi. For some reason unknown I couldn't rejoice in his dismal failure. I hope this is not the last we have seen of him. He deserves a better send off. A top class batsman of this era and a gentle giant holding back tears answering some mundane questions at post match presentation. I was thinking why bother answer these questions. Just excuse yourself from the stupid conferece and try to relax. He is not going to be able to sleep well for days to come but time heals everything.

Re: The curse of Pakistan Cricket Team I really wonder how much the incline towards 'religious exhibition' has coincided with slide in performance on the field. I mean this team increasingly looks like a group of religious scholers or something who have arrived for a religion conference instead of a cricket team. Nowhere near the team under Wasim for example. :shrug:

Totally agree. i thnk inzi is more interested in making the other players islamic fundies rather then making them better players. Look at this WC, inzi and rana went towards having the mullah beards joing mo yo in this. Pak teams of the past never had this OTT religious streak.

Nightmare...but these are the times when the team really needs the support from their fans so even at this moment i still wholeheartedly support team Pakistan :wtg:

Good on you, MP ! You have my respect. It's a shame that our supporters are so incredibly fickle; no concept of loyalty or optimism.
