I agree with you for the most part and I think the selectors have done a poor job. They've ditched almost all the experience and flung a bunch of youngsters in there.full_length said:I'm worried that they may not come out of this terribly competitive.
Post world cup I think Pakistan cricket has lost half it's charisma of the past. I think this is the worst Pak side since I started watching cricket. Throughout this period, Pakistan always had a good enough team to be a threat to any team. They need atleast three good batsmen - people with good technique.
Tim you got that right !Tim said:Very good batsman I thought, but like most Pakistani youngsters had a tendency to try one too many aggressive shots & showed little patience
England : Unproven batting lineup.vishnureddy said:Eng have an inexperienced batting and there is no Collingwood in the middle. I feel that the Eng batting will struggle against Pak Bowling.
1, Anwar may had a good WC, but how long do you think he would have continued for Pak? In his place Pak have found a very exciting player in Hafeez.Mr Mxyzptlk said:I agree with you for the most part and I think the selectors have done a poor job.

1/ What did Saeed Anwar do wrong in the WC?
2/ Where has Saqlain been for the past few months?
3/ Why is everyone so easy on Shoaib Akhtar? He tampered with the ball more than once and gets such a useless punishment...
4/ Yosuf Youhana is stil
l class.
I hate the way that they've seemingly used so many players as though they were"World Cup specialists", dropping them immediately after.

2, Shoaib Malik has taken Saqlain's place and is doing very well, Saqlain might still be considered for test matches .
Pakistan have atleast three real quality youngsters in the team in Hafeez, Malik and Yasir Hameed.Sami has always impressed me and i'm safe to say that he will be a class pacer in a year or two.However as Miandad said, Sami would have been a much better player now had he been alowed to play earlier for Pakistan.Had Waqar younis still been playing for Pak, Sami would have continued to be the towel boy for team!
All in all things are getter better for Pakistan.
