I think we need to understand the term 'Talent'. Someone recently said that talent is the ability shown by an individual for which his age or experience doesn't justify. Here we have the case where neither age nor the experience is resulting in any kind of improvement..
Waqar now clearly sounds like Sethi's man!
Well, the current batch of players is not that talented. You cannot match them to 1970,80 or 90s team. There is no comparison.
However, they could give a decent showing if they ever stop fixing matches. The 80 and 90s batch were so good that the team couldbeat others even though some were throwing games.
he is trying his hand in comedy
hahahahaah.....
