The problem with Zulqarnain Haider is he will run away in middle of match to catch a flight to London.Then there would be no wicket keeper to support the team.He is unfit to be in the team.

There is no doubt about the talent of Junaid Khan. He may be the next Wasim Akram but I have my doubts about nasir Jamshed. He has three ODI centuries but all against India only. He has many flaws in his batting which will get exposed against better bowling. Come South Africa series and that too in South Africa, jamshed’s batting may stand exposed. However, if Umar Akmal gets a control over his propensity to go for shots early, he can shape up to be a great batting talent. I have high hopes for Umar but not so much for Jamshed. But for the present, he is the hero of Indo-Pak series. I hope he too can improve his game and cover his shortcomings. Then Pakistan can have a great openning pair particularly since Hafeez is such a cool head.

Its not the loss but the way they loose raises questions. Requiring a rate of 3.5 per over Misbah and Umar Akmal were not even trying to take singles.

Out of 12 one day series played between Pakistan and India so far, Pakistan has won 8. So India has been Bangladesh for Pakistan when it comes to one days since day one.

The Kotla match was “fixed”, as rightly twitted/noted by former England wicketkeeper Paul Nixon. I believe it was, as Pakistan cricket has a well earnd reputation for the same.

Stop living in the past…It would be much better for you to open your eyes NOW and get used to new “Wasim Akrams” and “Saeed Anwars”

I agree with you that third ODI was lost under suspicion. If not all at least 5 or six players cooperated with Misabah to lose this match in way that looked natural to non-critical eye.

Pakistan has won quite a few games even when Tendulkar, Laxman and Dravid were part of your team. you might want to look at stats and they will reveal quite a few things about Dravid and Laxman. Look at their averages against Pakistan.
