Extremely impressed with Shakib. I always knew his record was really good, but finally seeing him properly.. he is a class act. Cograts Bangladesh, you turned a new leaf in the tournament and were excellent hosts. Here is to a new and improved Bangladeshi team. As for Afghanistan... in 10...

Pakistan saved by the last over. Those 19 runs might really come in handy if the spinner can get going. Pakistan did receive some poor decisions, and the one they got for Hafeez not out, would have been better to have him out as he played pain staikingly slow and got the rest of the batsman...

I will be the devil's advocate here and point out something which has been mentioned by the commentators quite a few times, and that is, it gets really easy to score runs in the second innings.... and BNG has always batted in the second innings. 1st ODI - Pak vs BNG - BNG comes really close to...

couldn't resist. saw this somewhere: "When Tendulkar makes a century, India looses the match. When Kohli makes a century, India are out of the tournament" :D

This is extremely hard to watch... why? because he is lying through his teeth. He should have just accepted that he accepted the money and became greedy... its a normal human condition.... but if he keeps on lying, I don't have any respect for him. He should stay a thousand miles away from the...

We should make Umar Akmal the keeper for the ODI and T20 leg... how bad can he be?

I don't think any bowler apart from Styen can match the quality of Pak bowlers. The number of catches that are dropped and misfields, Pak bowlers will have a much better strike rate and econ. If McGrath would have played for Pak, his average would have been in 30s. That is why Wasim and Waqar...

for a long time I had the same impression too. NOTW basically invoked human nature..... But recent releases by Mazhar Majeed indicate that Butt was the one who asked to find people to spot fix. Not sure if Mazhar is telling the truth or not. But if he is, then Butt was the one who instigated...

you do know that Kamran Akmal is possibly as involved in the fixing as Butt....

not sure why Aamir is not part of this. Majeed I can understand as he has quite a few cases against him. Maybe, just maybe... Aamir is being kept as a witness if all else fails.... that will really make some good court room drama....

that is why there is a jury. There is no black and white form of punishment on this. Every case is different and has to be taken differently. If tomorrow an 18 year old from a wealthy family, with a well educated background is caught, his ban should be more strict. Why? Because he had the luxury...

Asad Shafiq looks the part. Have been very impressed with him so far. He is not flashy or a genius, but we need hard workers like him to keep the ship afloat. I don't know, but for some reason he reminds me of Mohd. Yousuf.

holy ████ Bairstow... haven't seen that kind of massive hitting for a while... another Eion Morgan in the making?

Zimbabwe obliges

Imran Khan is the best thing that has happened to Pakistan in the last 3 decades. Not just on the cricketing field, but generally as an icon. I think that far outdoes any statistics.

IPL is more about marketing blitz than just good T20 talent. And for the Indian market, Pakistani players offer both. SRK wanted a couple of Pakistani players because it will enhance the marketability of the franchise. But there is too much risk involved due to the political climate.....

Afridi is the most popular cricketer in Pakistan since Imran Khan. This movement by the public is not just for Afridi, but is against the arrogant Butt... it's for a cause and not just because they want to see Afridi hit another six. However, Afridi is the only player in the current squad who...

I don't think Afridi was defensive at all. You also have to look at Pakistan's batting. We didn't use to have any proper batsman, just bits and pieces players, so he had to keep the batting deep. Specially as our bowling is already our strength. We won each world cup match because of our...

you guys do know that this is all hogwash... specially the disclaimer that I won't return while the current cricketing board is in power. Its a conditional retirement which counts for nothing. Afridi had the chance to be the bigger man here, but once again disappointed his fans by reacting...

Both country's media play on people's emotions, cause generally speaking Indians and Pakistanis are more emotionally charged people. That is how we are brought up and emotions always take center stage, while rationality is an afterthought. So that is how the media also makes a buck. The...
