I agree - It's just they start too early in the morning for me. Good to see NZ win & Sri Lanka about to spank the Aussie team

Ps, with Pakistan not playing any cricket now for a while after this series vs England, if this carries on (no mention of other games and the creation of useless articles!!!) Afridi14 is going to press the switch button and go into WUM-MODE…… you have been warned….

Neon would love that

Talking about going into wum-mode, I think Kash has already started going into wumming, he wants kamran akmal back

======================
that is desperation mate. Can't stand watching us play test cricket in the one day format.

The NZ v SA test series may spark some interest seeing that SA need to win 3-0 to take top spot.

In all seriousness, i agree with you. we have no attack-minded players at all, maybe hafeez apart. Getting beyond a joke now. Bring back tanny too, he can hit a few 6's.....

Swear down i'd take Tanny back too and replace Gul who has been dire. Let Tanny bowl 5-6 overs and his job is done. Hafeez has lost confidence and Umar Akmal clearly finding it hard to juggle keeping and batting.

PS - Afridi its time u and Neon kissed and made up seeing as your about to go in WUM mode but with the Asia cup due next month too?

Disgusting -

In all seriousness kash, i'd rather have tanny in the team then say rehman. Least he can bat abit, his bowling isnt all that bad either. Bloody hell, thats Goofy and Tanny back..... mohammad sami anyone?

Looking forward to the saffers vs new zealand test series, i think new zealand are under-rated.

One reason why there is little genuine cricket debate on this forum is because most of you are first and foremost soccer fans.You constantly turn a cricket OP into a series of WUMS against a variety of soccer teams.
As for Afridi going in WUM mode, I doubt we shall notice the difference.

Sami no way!!! I know he got a hatrick yesterday in the might BPL but still NO. I'd rather bring back Rana Naveed who is another that can smack it. Your right though next game we need to boot Rehman and perhaps bring in Adnan but if we wanna stick with Umar as keeper then give Azam a go.

Hope we never get any articles from you these days?

A tad harsh?

Kash, whenever I try to create what I hope is an interesting debate it flops because few are interested in debate. You will see on almost every OP that people talk to one another and ignore the topic
Just check this OP, you and Afridi are chatting to each other about Pakistan.

Well ,I didnt start one due to "loadshedding"

And now the line is on, I am listening to one song from "Mussarrat Nazir" and also checking the score.
A good win for Kiwis .Great going for Guptill.

Just checked most of your articles hopefor, and maybe you have a point... Its difficult to zone in 100% to the OP thread. My main point above was that, we should be creating articles and interested in all cricket - regardless of whether its our own team or not.......

on a sidenote, i noticed you created an article 6 months back and said the following: I will be surprised if Alistair Cook lasts very long in this role. The selectors couldn't have come up with a more unsuitable choice.
His batting style is not suited to this format and he's hardly one of England's best fielders.

Ouch

Chopping, i was watching earlier, guptill was on fire...... he hit one of the biggest sixes ive ever seen, 127m bang on the roof.

Guptill is the most clean hitting batsman around today!
I really enjoy watching him too.Most of his shots are down the ground.6th consecutive 50.

Agree, hes definately the inform batsmen around today, some superb hitting, hes always had the potential, never relaised it. Maybe hes turning a corner now.....

Paks better watch out in the T20 world cup in lanka later, they have zeland and bengalis in their group, no mugs in this format of the game!!

Afridi, I still believe Cook is not an ODI player. His success here is mainly due to poor bowling by Pakistan. In particular Umar Gull with the new ball. You must admit Pakistan have under performed so far in this series.
Since Cook became captain last year he has yet to face a really good opening attack capable of exploiting his weakness outside off.

No doubt about it. Pakistan have a mediocre bowling line up in this series, but take nothing away from cook, hes been a revelation. I’d say only south Africa have a better bowling line up in ODIs that will trouble cook in bowler-friendly conditions. The fact is he’s silenced his critics with the bat, his overall ODI record speaks for itself.

Hope I do agree that Gul has been poor and with both Cheema and Wahab not really on a world level he has found the pace bowling easy but he has unlike everyone else played the spinners really well so he has to be given credit for that. You got KP in 6s and 7s and then you got Cook playing them really well?

Cook has yet to play against top class pace, he will be doing so this summer in England in a five ODI series against OZ and later a series against SA. If he comes through that with colours I shall have to change my opinion.I hope I do.

Comment like these are so hypocritical. At last ,Finally, there is some great batsman playing brilliantly for England, who are traditionally regarded a mediocre ODI team with Mediocre ODI batsman like Michael Vaughan and Nervous bunches like Bell ...and they still gruntle.
Its only fitting that English players pay back by showing their back to these fans.
