I think it's high time for this team to come to an end as it already had. Pakistan should stop playing cricket as they simply can't play it anymore from long time.
I gave away all my WC tickets... this WC would be a historic disappointment of magnificent proportions !
We are getting destroyed in every possible way : politics, economy, infrastructure, military, education, sports, foreign relations, terrorism etc.
Is this the worst time in history of the nation which Muhammad Ali Jinnah dreamt of being extremely prosperous?. I don't know how long Pakistan would last if this goes on.
Was anybody expecting any different result after this team was selected?
We need Fawad Alam in place of Yunus. Anwar Ali in place of Bilawal Bhatti Imran Khan in place of Ehsan Adil Sohaib Maqsood in place of Umar Akmal.
Yes I don't want any Akmal brothers in our team. You never know if a game is being thrown or not in their presence. Plus they will disappoint in the most crucial moments.
Bilawal, bilawal hota hay, bhutto ho ya bhatii ho
With Bilawal and Adil, matches with Zimbabwe and UAE would be interesting as well.
I think the team management needs to make the tough call and include Sohaib Maqsood in the playing eleven. The bowling department presents another concern with Bilawal Bhatti and Ehsan Adil failing to pose any threat to the batsmen. It may make sense to replace Bilawal with someone like Umar Gul (if he is fit) since Ehsan Adil has already been included in the World Cup Squad.
Ali Khan Digital Engagement Team, USCENTCOM
Sadaf Hussain and Zafar Gohar (all rounder) would have been a better option than Bhatti and Ehsan Adil. Even Rahat Ali is much better than bhatti and Co. Wondering if Selectors really know anything about Pakistan domestics cricket !!!!
I expect Younis Khan, a person of character, honor and integrity to voluntarily sideline himself from this one day team. He is blocking the path of other deserving players like Fawad Alam and Sohaib Maqsood.
You don't even select such a team for a bilateral event involving Kenya or Afghanistan, let alone a World Cup!
If selecting garbage bowlers was a criteria, Sohail Tanveer is a much better crap bowler than this Bhatti fella.
Someone kill me please!!!
Let's support South Africa... not because their uniform is green but because they truly deserve it. They are the fighters and at the moment have the best team to win worldcup on merit. Go Afrikaaans.
Already too much suffering in the country and to top it all we have gone on to participate in the WC!
Pakistan having it's all time worst bowling attack
