jan | 14 years ago | Reply Afridi is the best among all player and is the confident Captain we have got after a long time but the performance of the other players are very bad.Especially akhtar is too much lazy against india.Glad to know about the progress and achievement of Pakistan Cricket Team but unhappy about the performance against India. Umar Gul we miss you.

Tanveer | 14 years ago | Reply I hope pakistan can beat kenyea. Bangladesh and other teams like Zimbabwe. well done Pakistan, Play well aginst weaker sides. It is also shame full that Bengali scored more than 2hundereds against such a huge bollowing. Well don eShahid Afridi keep it up, Your players ar in stress of gaining booster money pedia from bookers. Keep an eye on them> Two runouts against sirilanka and bottom flopped is indiginous matter. Also some bad bowling in last over by shoaib is some way blunder and not impressive. Mr amir should rely on yokers but he got hit on short delivery. Matches can not be won by this type of bowlings
