It is really sad to see Misbah booed by both Indian and Pakistan fans at Edgbaston. In India, we have a huge respect for Misbah. Fans should change this attitude. Win or lose, we enjoy the game of cricket.

Batting averages at tournament: Farhat 2.00, Akmal 7.66, Malik 8.33, and Hafeez 12.66.
The solution that the bright minds of Pakistani leadership come up with was to remove Shafiq and simply rotate the other three failed batasmen around the batting lineup. That might work for Pakistani politics, where the same tried and failed leaders are rotated into power every few years, but this is cricket and you'll be exposed as a fraud with the World watching.
Which is exactly what happened in this tournament.
Unfortunately for Pakistan even the law of averages is against these batters since not one of them reached their career batting averages in the tournament: Akmal: 26, Hafeez 27, Farhat: 30, and Malik 33.
It's time for a change, lets hope the often tried and failed cricketers won't ever be seen representing Pakistan on the World stage again.
Pakistan Zindabad!!

Winning the last match for last champions trophy is too mainstream. Frustrated about the game play of Pakistan in this tournament, totally washed out 3-0, didn't even won a single match, Selectors and Chairman should be taken with serious hand.

Winning or losing is the part of the sport, but selecting the team is the main issue needs to be address here, our team is Pakistan team every says like that, but in real essence is it representing Pakistan, 9 players are from PUNJAB & hardly one or two from KP, & we call it pakistan team shame. Stop this non sense selection procedure, give equal chance to all the best players from whole country not only punjab, honesty & we will enjoy the best results again.

@Vairamuthu:
For pakistani's we love Pakistan more than anyone can fathom. So anyone who represents it we expect the best of the best. For us we cannot imagine being anything but Pakistani and we expect the best.
