Pak Cricket : From Crisis To Crisis
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
There is no element of doubt for all cricket fans , that pakistan cricket team is bundle of talent. Their bowling attack is good with likes of asif , new wonder amer , experienced gul . Good spin attack with ajmal , kaneria and at times malik. They are world champions in t-20 , good one day side and practise deprived test side.
Inspite of being talented pakistan cricket team has found almost impossible to remove their tag of being unpredicable. Their musical chair for captain banega kaun continues after haq left the scene. From shohaib malik to yonuis khan to mohammad yosuf , they are still not finding a long term option. While afridi fits the bill for t-20 and onedays , he found himself frustated enough to chew the ball (good that he didnt eat it) to alter the result of the match.
It didn't alter the result of final one day match but it perhaps might alter result of two t-20 matches which pakistan would play with australia. Their biggest match winner shahid afridi is banned for two matches because of his eat the ball gesture.
Shahid did say sorry but his sab karte hain dialogue has reignited controversy.
Crisis in Pakistan cricket began with their exit in 2007 world cup by getting defeated by ireland. Then death of coach in mysterious circumstances and retirement of haq did form a vaccum. They did get into first t-20 world cup finals under leadership of malik and then 26/11 occured.
India cancelled the tour and srilanka filled in. Younis khan took over as captain but Cousins of 26/11 attacked srilankan team and already concerned over security , world was shocked to view this attack. Pakistan lost world cup host , status and since then pakistan plays very little cricket.
They came back strongly becoming world champions of t-20 but yonuis went on exile and yousuf became captain.
Pakistan had disaterous tour down under , where pakistan was totally down and under pressure afridi did ball tampering.
Pakistan's management has vowed strong actions to revive this talent team. May be yonuis khan would be made captain of test team and shahid afridi would be given charge of t-20 and onedays , provided he enters stadium with his stomatch full!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets hope that pakistan cricket get revived and doesnot enter another crisis.
