Okay the conditions were not the best, but still the margin of victory was nothing to write home about. Kenya was a thumping win and the win against Sri Lanka was brilliant but we should view the last 2 games as 2 defeats if we are stretching ourselves and really showing our standards for seriously challenging for that CWC title.<br /><br />Wasim Akram said the defeat against New Zealand has exposed the chinks in the Pakistan armoury and labelled Afridi’s captaincy as “erroneous”.<br /><br />In fact Imran and Wasim were both saying this when we were winning the 3 matches on the trot as well and you simply cannot agree more with them! Something like this was inevitable. It was a matter of time. This is not how a champion side operates and they are nowhere near full strength with the best possible mindset and combinations at the moment. All this nonsense for Afridi being an 'aggressive' captain is a really misleading term, his playing style maybe aggressive but as a leader he is nothing but the opposite. Has been good in patches every now and then, but plenty of times really questionable and clueless and he has missed opportunities to take the kill and really set the impetus both with his tactics and selection. Needs to get a serious grip, otherwise it could be Pakistan's downfall if and when they are knocked out. Desperate times require desperate measures.Abdullahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17788388194637445444noreply@blogger.com
