So a new series and new Captain for Pakistan Cricket team, Waqar Younis. I think we needed this change for the long season ahead as Moin Khan was not able to motivate and guide the Youngster in the team. There are lots of youngsters in this Pakistani side, who if given proper guidance can become New World beaters for the Pakistan cricket. Playing in England against England is not an easy job, as player have to adjust to the severe cold winter, and by the time they get used to the climate the series is far by over. But our team has lots of Player like our Captain himself, Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akthar and Saqlain Mushtaque who played lots of county matches in England, and their experiences will be of great help this winter
Pakistani team is evenly balanced with experiences and youth, and it will be very difficult for the Englishmen to defeat this Pakistani side. The change in leadership has its Pros and Cons too, but after talking to some of the Pakistani players I personally feel that Waqar Younis is the best person to lead the side to England. He is fast energetic and has the ability to lead from the front. He will definently do well as Captain
Let me now Shed some lights on the key players of Pakistan team.
Waqar younis —> The Captain of the team has taken more then 300 wickets in Test matches and was the highest wicket taker last time when Pakistan defeated England.
Inzamam-ul-Haq —> He is the world best bat, Sachin is like a drop of water in the ocean compare to Inzmamam. He is in great form this season.
Wasim Akram —> I don’t think he needs any mention, his records speaks for himself. (Read my review on this great man)
Shoaib Akthar —> The fastest bowler on the Earth. His sheer speed is enough to send down shiver in the batsman mind. His victims so far Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly, in fact whole Indian team. Indian are afraid to stand up to his pace. He is the key to this series
Saqlain Mushtaq —> He is the best off-spinner in the business today. Harbhajan is just a kid.
AND THERE ARE LOTS OF YOUNG PLAYERS WHO ARE LOT BETTER THEN WHAT SACHIN TENDULKAR WAS AT THEIR AGE.
– HERE IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS SPECIAL ATTENTION: –
Question 1: Why India didn’ t’ play against Pakistan at Sharjah?
Indian answer: We will not play against Pakistan at any venue as long as they keep on promoting terrorist activities in the Kashmir Valley. Phew! The whole World Knows who is behind all this mess in the Valley.
The Reality: Indians are afraid of playing Pakistan, as they know that they are not on par with the Pakistani team, and they always end up loser whenever they play us. Otherwise they would have not played Pakistan in Table Tennis and other sports.
-------------X-------------X-------------X-------------X-------------------X-------
Question 2 Who is the best Batsmen of the sub-continent? Sachin or Inzaman?
Indian answer: Sachin Tendulkar, because he has scored more number of runs then Inzamam.
The Reality: Though Sachin has scored more runs then Inzamam, his team always ends up loosing the match because Sachin plays for his personal records and not for the team. (He could not score a single hundred when he used to come to bat at number. 4). Whereas Inzamam has always played for his team and scored most of his runs when Pakistan needed him to score. (The matches of 92 World cup are prove to his batsmanship). The second point is that Sachin has scored most of his runs in India and Inzamam has scored all around the world.
-------------X-------------X-------------X-------------X-------------------X-------
Question 3: Who is the better team, India? or Pakistan?
Indian answer: India, we have defeated Pakistan in the last 3 World Cup matches.
The Reality: World Cup comes once in 4 years, so in twelve years just 3 win, where as we defeated them in their Own country umpteen number of times in last 12 years and they are afraid to play in our country or any neutral ground. The ghost of last ball six by Javed Miadad in 1985 still haunts them, and when they face our team they become like a dead fish. Indian team is no match for the Pakistani, they are good only when they play Zimbabwe and lower rank team in cricket.
