On paper strength doesnt matter

[rodzilla1010]

Yesterday Miandad said that depsite losing ASif, Akhtar and Razzaq Pakistan still has a good chance of winning the world cup. He said that being strong on paper means nothing. Its how they actually perform. He said that in 1992 when Pak won, the bowling attack comrised of Imran, Wasim, Aqib and Mushtaq with amer sohail and Ijaz as supporting bowlers. And despite losing Waqar to injury Pakistan still won.In 2003 Pakistan had a star bowling attack of Akhtar, Akram,Waqar and Saqlain and they didnt even go past the 1st round. So the team should lose heart and play like they have nothing to lose.

I think he is right, Pakistan could not beat Eng in the ODI series even with Akhtar and Asif and Pakistan defeated Ind in India 4-2 without Akhtar and Asif.

I think we are in with a chance.

Eh? Pakistan didn't even go past the first round in 1999? They got to the final!

Thanks for correcting, its 2003

Was thinking something on similar lines, TBH...

Have had these discussions about post-X-times-before-you-can-threadstart before, tho...

Miandad is known to make dumb comments so i am not suprised.

I know that strength on paper is not everything, you got to back it up with performances on the field.


But strength on paper is a fair enough reflection of a team's balance and strength its then up to those players to perform, you can't expect average players to deliver the goods .
