You know at times, life baffles you, constantly things occur which you fail to get your head around and this brainless Pakistani cricket team is one of them.
Please, people whoever you support, try and sit back, process through your mind and understand how after failing for over a decade do these cricketers still get picked to play on the International stage? How is this possible?
This is not about, certain players such as Shahid Afridi not being picked. This is about the likes of Malik, Farhat and Kamran constantly being picked, despite being clueless and inept human beings. When players have constantly shown that they are past it, where never IT or are just plainly and technically inept then why do the hierarchy constantly select them? They are to blame as much as anyone.
I have always backed Misbah and will continue to do so. I feel extremely sorry for the guy because he has done so much for Pakistan cricket, yet is being slapped in the face by those around him.
Youngsters are youngsters they will learn, but please get rid and clean up this mindless lot. Build a team around Misbah, bring in the younger guys because at least if they fail they can learn. How can a person such as Imran Farhat who has being playing International cricket for nearly 15 years learn?
The players I'd drag OUT: Shoaib Malik, Imran Farhat and Kamran Akmal. These three have to go for sure. And it is quite obvious, we keep saying it, Hafeez just needs to bat lower down. Simple.
The players I'd bring IN: Umar Akmal, Mohammed Rizwan, Sharjeel Khan, Babar Azam, Hammad Azam Haris Sohail and Azhar Ali. Amongst others.
Misbah, Captain Of The Titanic...

Pakistan should try and poach Moeen Ali from Worcestershire. He will never get in the England side and is having a great domestic season.

Reports suggesting Misbah Ul Haq set to be removed from captaincy with Younis Khan or Shahid Afridi set to take over.
I don't agree to this but I'm afraid Misbah brought this on himself for selecting or agreeing to the selection of the recent squads.

I don't like the guy, but Mickey Arthur is the type of guy Pakistan require as coach. He is a free agent now. So...
As for Misbah, they are just reports he won't get the sack- No chance. Younis will not become captain again because he will not want to. And, Afridi as good as a skipper he was two years ago. We need a responsible skipper and Misbah is just that. We don't know how much Misbah agreed to this squad, but you cannot get rid of him for just that, no chance. You get rid of the players, not the captain.

Just going by what Rashid Latif said:

Changes are good but changing the skipper is bad and returns of afridi and younus i am against.

Very interesting watch that
Rashid Latif makes the better points. If Malik and Co. are getting axed and rightly so then so should Hafeez.
But the W/K debate was interesting, regarding Umar Akmal great to see that at least they are thinking about it.

This is the problem with Pak cricket:
- No decent batsman
- No wicketkeeper that can bat
- Our skipper is 40 and the best batsman
- The next natural skipper is someone who thinks he can bat but has a poor technique against pace bowling in Hafeez
- Suspect fielding
- Indians are out bowling us now

We might not have a decent batsman in the team right now apart from Jamshed and Misbah but I'm sure we'll find at least one decent batsman from the new lot that are most likely to be tried out (Sohail, Maqsood, Manzoor, Amin, Nawaz). Umar Akmal we know is a good player and it would be a huge plus if he plays as WK.
And whilst we have limited resources at the moment we need to make the most of them, and at least start by playing suitable players in suitable positions and pick suitable players also ie Azhar ali as opener, Shafiq at 4, Hafeez at 6/7, Umar Akmal, Fawad Alam etc, along with trying out new players.
