Are Pakistan the new powerhouse in cricket?

[Rightarmfast]

our Pakistani friends have proved time and again that Aamir is more talented than Steyn and that the only reason Steyn was the number 1 bowler for a few years was because of Aamir's absence. Aamir is the second coming of Marshall, perhaps a shade more talented. Afridi is the Sobers of the 2000s. I am not sure why the other teams even bother turning up.

The 5 yr old kid next to my home also thinks akshay kumar is stronger than bruce lee. I smile at him and say ' Yes, he is ' :)

Md. Amir is so great that he has never played a test at his " home "  and averages between  40.4  to  43.7  in test matches played in Australia, New Zealand and SL....and all his exploits are in 6 test matches in swing and seam friendly England.

He is undoubtedly the greatest test bowler

 You forgot Afridi. He was a champ couple of times. Afridi is such a great AR. He's got some great dancing skills too 

What about his ball biting and butt scratching skills   .  You forgot those

Afridi is a legend because in the history of the game, there has been no player who has managed to stay at the age of 18 throughout a career spanning around 20 yrs! 

He has successfully stopped time.

Mohammad Amir is the reason why Lara, Tendulkar and Ponting retired.

Md. Aamir is not only a great bowler, he's also a great humanitarian. Noticing the vast gap between him and bowlers of other teams, he took a 'break' from cricket to allow other bowlers to catch up with him.

Shahid Khan Afridi is not only a great all-rounder, he's also a great humanitarian balleatarian, motivational speaker, and a ballet dancer.

Afridi's impressive dancing skills, when he thought no one was watching. KP was very impressed with his moves.

Yeah I believe what the op said.Pakistan is the land of flair and natural tailunds!! 

Their batsmen are impressive to the core and bowling attack is world class+ the lala and damaad factor .all in all its impossible to stop Pakistan in this form ,cornered tigers part 2 coming!!

[adi B]

we will be the "chumps" this time 

Mashallah.allah aisa hi kare 

[Shivaji bhonsle]

They should be beaten again and again( in cricket of course:D) There is a generation of Pakistanis who have witnessed their team being beaten time and again by India. May they continue to suffer till they......

[Dil Dil India]

Junaid Khan + Wahab + Aamir + Irfan + Afridi is the greatest attack to have ever assembled.

Ok gotta admit they R physically gifted compared to Indians, but then Indians R more nimble, have a good eye n wrist, hand eye, Pakistan have Junoon or used to and produced good fast bowlers in the past while India produced Phaast bowlers n their hype of their player is third only to Bongs n Lungans lol who R irritating, SL team in 1 ODI behaved like they were tweaked out on Meth especially their Bowler who bowled 135 n thought he bowled 175 lol ,Rajith something

[Ankit_sharma03]

i know they ll do well in T20 wc, Coz their braindead batsman are gud for t20 and they have gud bowlers, also they hve done well in india

But calling them a powerhouse based on t20 is too muchhh......

Their Odi n test sides are still nowhere in top 4

A team who is blessed with so much talent, yet finds way to destroy them can be anything but not powerhouse

A team with Self destruction button,selfish players, corrupt board, illiterate players and no international cricket at home can never become a cricket powerhouse. 

A cricket powerhouse is all about consistency, Pak cricket and consistency dont go well together.....

Batting and Pace-Bowling will do fine for Pak, issues in spin bowling department right now (Afridi usually do not perform in major events or vs strong opponents), even bigger issue I see is fielding, Pak still lives in 90s; other teams taking 2 good catches, saving 10,15 runs, Pak leaking few runs and dropping 2 catches makes a huuge difference at the end...

you are a Misbah fan jealous of Sahibzada Shahid Khan Afridi. See Misbah's record....not even one ODI century. Choker choked in Mohali. Braveheart Afridi took Pakistan to SF on his shoulders. 

[Soorma_Bhopali]

if I start naming all the champs it will take up too much bandwidth but yes Shahid Khan Afridi is one of their biggest champs.

Champ or "Chomp" ..ball chomping
