gakgupta Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Well.....I was expecting this long before....not because above mentioned names are any less talented but they just don't look like they were team players. Somehow, they think the are bigger than the team. Also, i think they play lot of politics in the background.... This team is definitely not the world beater but occasionally can surprise with some beautiful performances. What is important for me is that they played as a team after long long time and kept the team ahead of self. Looks like there are not any internal politics. Also, they should move on from older players like Hafeez. Well done Inzy.... (Only pak player i liked) Bigg Brother and Asim 2
Asim Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Credit to Inzmam, 1st decision he took after becoming Chief Selector was removing Akmal, Shehzad and Afridi etc; players with unrequired 'attitude'... sscomp32 and Adi_91 2

Also, they are players who were playing for their "styles". You don't need selfies to win, you need performances, which these guys never delivered on the field. Asim 1
Iconoclast Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Akmal's were hardcore fixers and I suspect Shezad might have been polluted as well.
Asim Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 However we might need a change for ODI captain, I was happy for Azhar and thought he's Best option to replace Misbah but so far he does not seems too fitting for this role... but then Q would be who? if not Azhar... (Hafeez was a Good option but in my opinion even the selection in team for bowling-less Hafeez should be questioned)
velu Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 why bring afridi here .. he retired from tests long ago
mishra Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Its one match won. Still long way to go to prove the theory.
mishra Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Just like England team without KP "is winning". oops allready "was winning"
sourab10forever Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) 1.None were test class 2.This is just one match. Patience Edited July 18, 2016 by sourab10forever
Autonomous Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Last time an Akmal played Tests for PAK was I think 2013. 3 years back
Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Good they were basically overconfident cricketers who spoilt team environment. When u see guys like Asad shafiq, Amir, Yasir shah, azhar ali they look like team players. Pakistan should never pick those 2 again. tweaker 1

Sean Bradley Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Credit goes to misbah and Yasir Shah for their splendid show, you take these 2 out of the team then they might even struggle to beat Zimbabwe.

G_B_ Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 been a while since Afridi played in the test format.... Pakistan have been decent in test. Came into this series ranked 3/4 in the world

gakgupta Posted July 20, 2016 Author Posted July 20, 2016 Why do i have a feeling 2nd Test PAK will be exposed #1 test tho jetaya all the hype ? Cloderson will be back and make huge difference From Pak point of view, Hafeez and Younis are burden to the team....it's not like they are investing for the future Sent from my XT1068 using Tapatalk tweaker and Rasgulla 2
