Disaster awaits Pakistan team and Afridi at this year's t20 WC. The aura around the pathan will fade away and he might decide to become to a franchise only player after the t20 WC in WI.

That's just a genius pic tdigi :hysterical: I actually think Afridi will be a good captain by Pak standards. He's probably had a lobotomy recently coz he's been batting with a degree of caution and maturity. He's aggressive and always switched on. Since he bowls as well, he will always be involved when Pakistan are bowling. A captain like Afridi will use jaahil gaali galoch and rhetoric type approaches to inspire and ignite fire within the likes of Aamir and Umar Akmal. As Paki cricketers have always needed an aggressive captain (Wasim for instance) to psych them and infuse the patented 'jazba junoon' attitude, Afridi should do a better job than the other alternatives. Whether he commands a place as a player is another question. Not that it has ever mattered in Pak selections anyway. But back on topic :cantstop: 1_1_afridi.PNG

Kamran Abbasi has outdone himself if that was possible : http://blogs.cricinfo.com/pakspin/archives/2010/01/letter_to_the_president.php

To the President of Pakistan, We, the supporters of Pakistan cricket, demand an immediate end to the systematic destruction of Pakistan cricket. Cricket is the single-most visible embodiment of the aspirations of the global Pakistani nation. Our cricketers are the most visible ambassadors of an embattled country. Cricket fans are representative of every walk of Pakistani society. The history of Pakistan as a nation and a cricket team is intertwined, and some might say cricket is a mirror reflecting the state of the nation. We care about the present and the future of Pakistan cricket because we care about the present and the future of Pakistan itself. Successive regimes of the Pakistan Cricket Board, under the patronage of the President of Pakistan, have indulged in nepotism, cronyism, and financial mismanagement, to name a few misdemeanours. The cricket board has been run unprofessionally in an age of professional international sport. Decision-making has been for the benefit of the individuals representing the cricket board rather than for the national cricket team or the hundreds of millions of cricket fans from all countries who support the Pakistan cricket team. The result of this systematic mismanagement has been the isolation of Pakistan cricket from the international cricket community and the destruction of Pakistan as a force in the world of cricket. The Pakistan cricket team once made us proud, it is now the starkest example of how to waste the natural abilities, talents, and resources of the Pakistani people. We demand that cricket does not follow squash and hockey, sports that we once dominated. Instead, we demand that the current cricket board of amateurs is disbanded and replaced by professionals fit to run a 21st century international sports organisation. We demand that the current crop of exciting players, like Mohammad Aamer and Umar Akmal, has the hope of playing in a national team that makes Pakistan cricket great again and the supporters proud. We demand that cricket puts its house in order and becomes a shining example of how to revitalise a Pakistani institution. We demand that the patience of millions is rewarding with action. As your predecessors knew, the success of the team is also a judgment on the success of your presidency. Save Pakistan cricket. Dil Dil Pakistan.

These are the luminary journalists for Pakistan? :nervous: Appears poora desh pagal ho gaya hai:((
Worryingly, he edits a medical journal. Cricket can drive people nuts. Unhealthy, unhealthy obsession. You lot go to bed.

Wow what a deluded clown. Doesn't this idiot actually live in England somewhere? People in Pakistan are dying every week from bombs and terrorist attacks while entire sections of the country are under marshall law, but this guy wants the President to forget all of that and fix the cricket instead? What a complete ashol.
