what i like most in the end was lala pushed captain mishbah to lead the team out of the ground while misbah was letting him to lead off as it is always gesture from the team that who so ever performs the best is allowed by the whole team members to lead the team out of the ground but lala shows total n great respect for captain misbah! great come back lala!

Guy's don't forget, this was one man show. Pakistani team performance is not consistent. As per my readings about Pakistani cricket tour matches, if they loose fist game, it's better. Once they win first match, they loose the series.
2- Batsman showed pathetic performance....over and over.
3- With the presence of " KHATMAL BROS" Pakistan team often loose important matches...Semi Final or Final.
4- No wonder AFRIDI performance is outstanding, most probably...he won't repeat the same performance.
5- Saeed Ajaml performance is real worrisome. He should be replaced with Abdul Rehman since he can hit the ball as well.
6- Hafeez does not perform as a batsman under Mr TUK TUK.
7- There is always some type of conflict goes on in the team due to bad management. This really disappoints it's followers.
8- Team coach is a piece of ****.
9- After playing around 100 balls, Misbah could not hit big shots in the end. That is another pathetic sign of batting weakness. Remember, Dhoni ?
10- Neither Abdul Wahab is taking wickets nor he is scoring.

Last but not least, Pakistani team is not getting enough international matches.
So,our expectation should not be high with this team.

We Pakistani's tend to forget things. We got amnesia problems. There are lots of work needs to be done with this team and I don't see a capable hand in Pakistani team and management.

Yes, we are all jubilant. Beware,,, after all, It's Pakistani team. Most unpredictable.

Afridi Lala Thrashes Windies in Guyana

http://www.riazhaq.com/2013/07/lala-shahid-khan-afridi-returns-to.html

Cries of "Shabash Lala" rang out with Pakistan's mercurial pathan's tremendous power and skill on full display at Providence Stadium in Guyana today.


First, Shahid Afridi joined his captain Misbah-ul-Haq at the crease to score a quick 76 runs off of 55 deliveries to build Pakistan's respectable total of 224 for 9. Then Afridi went on to claim 7 wickets while conceding just 12 runs to limit West Indies to 98 all out. The other wicket-taker was Mohammad Irfan, world's tallest cricketer, with 2 wickets for just 17 runs.

When Afridi took the crease, Pakistan's top order had collapsed once again against the moving ball as Jason Holder delivered a searing new-ball spell of 8-4-8-4.

Misbah-ul-Haq was playing his usual hold-the-innings-together role scoring at about a run an over, but when Afridi strode out, he was immediately looking to score a run a ball. Pakistan were 47 for 5 and the team's last recognized batting pair was in the middle, but that didn't stop Afridi from launching his third delivery for six over long-off.

The second biggest contributor to Pakistan's total was Captain Misbah-ul-Haq with his 52 runs scored from 121 deliveries he faced.

Afridi's latest comeback marks yet another phase of the 33 year-old cricketer's career which has been characterized by quick flashes of brilliance followed by long stretches of mediocrity. In fact, it wouldn't be wrong to say that Afridi's inconsistency is also the hallmark of the entire Pakistani national team with few individual exceptions like Misbah-ul-Haq, the current captain, who is known for his consistent batting performance.

In spite of the big win, it's important to recognize that fundamental weaknesses remain in the Pakistani side.In my view, a dispassionate review of the team's record would bring out the following:

1. Pakistan's bowling attack is among the most potent in the world and it should be maintained and enhanced.

2. Pakistan's batting is among the weakest in the world and it needs serious improvement.

3. Pakistani players, particularly batsmen, collapse under pressure.

The best way to move forward is to do the following:

1. Hire a world-class batting coach who has a track record as a super batsman but also knows how to effectively coach a young side. This search for such a coach needs to be world-wide and selection done in a professional manner.

2. Bring on board a world-renowned sports psychologist to increase mental toughness and improve the overall temperament and tenacity of the players to perform well under pressure. The anger for any losses should not be directed against individual players. Instead, the passion should be channelized to improve the effectiveness of the team as a cohesive unit.

ہمارے آفریدی صاحب اگر پچاس میچ کھلیں تو صرف دو سے تین میچز میں ہی کارکردگی دکھاتے ہیں اور باقی میچز میں زیادہ سے زیادہ پانچ سے سات رن بنتے ہیں۔

Afridi's so called point making was a short one. In the second one dayer the batting collapsed as usual not even getting to 200.
