Paperwork Caused all.



The result of Pakistan Vs Australia is exactly what I was expecting, but it does not mean that I was not hopping well for my team. I was supporting Pakistan as always but still somewhere deep down in my heart there was a doubt.
Afridi says that the experiments didn’t work against the big one. I do not understand why he made Hafeez to bowl all 4 overs when Hafeez was nervous to bowl against Watson, at that time Afridi should have bring Abdul Razaq to attack. In bowling time it was good to see that Afridi’s ball was pitching in right area and how can I forget the last over in which Pakistan made record by taking five wickets on giving no run. Kamran Akmal Dropped Watson and Salman Butt Dropped David Hussy and both these men took team Australia to a hard total.
I personally believe that the drop catch by Salman Butt is the one big reason for us to loose, just think for a second if David Hussy was caught at that time then there was less chances of four sixes in coming over.
I am very disappointed at the batting performance of the team 8 out of 10 wickets were catch outs which surly indicates that the guys were in hurry to finish off. The score was not as hard as the panic batsmen made it, There was no need for Kamran Akmal to play that shot on the 2ns ball of the innings, Butt should have pulled that ball without using foot work, well this post will become very long if I start to pick each and every point that lead to the defeat.
Afridi played well but I think he should have patience at that time because at that time his presence on the wicket could have made a big difference any how it was good to see that Afridi is getting his form back. Anyhow I believe that the whole team must focus on being calm when chasing such total the target was achievable and at many moments it was looking as if Pakistan going to make it but I would say again panic thing came into the scene.
I have a suggestion to make Coach and captain should follow the happenings in the ground while the game on and change the game plan accordingly rather than following the work done on the note pads, and pre match planning as I always say Cricket is the game of ground and it want decision according to the moment.
well in the end i am leaving you with the video of the best final over i have ever seen:

Congrats on First win #PakCricket

Congratulations to all the Pakistanis on the first win after an interesting and close game. Pakistan played well that’s what victory is indicating but still there are many areas where we were lacking. First if we notice no one hit boundary other then openers. No doubt openers did great job, they scored the first opening partnership of 100 runs in the tournament. Selman Butt has proved that Afridi was right about him, the performance of Butt made him Man of the match and it has shut many mouths including mine.
In bowling are we need so many points to focus on, Sami as always a big question mark, he is such a nice bowler on nets that even the half of what he do on net he brings in a real game he can become one of the best one, in early overs he was not well but no doubt Sami was the man who brought us back into the game by two wickets in an over. Sami need a lot of hard work to bowl in early overs in not to bowl short.
Aamir proved that why he is my favorite chap in the team he took the wicket of danger man Ashraful who was leading Bangladesh towards a sure victory. Afridi’s bowling performance was a big issue for me as he was not in his colors the kind of shots Ashraful hit him, I believe only Kevin Peterson is capable to hit that way to Afridi.
Afridi is not a person who takes pressure that way he must focus on his individual performance as well but I must say his captaincy was amazing gambling with Sami at a time when both the men on crease were on fire and then giving Aamir an over to get the wicket was good decision. Akmal wicket keeping is still not satisfactory that’s what I can say giving him the leverage of his batting performance.
Well in the end the best team won and no wonder Pakistan is best any day, now the best one have to get ready to face another best one tomorrow so best of luck to team Pakistan for it.
