Yeah thats their trend usually... all talk and then when the chips are down they will disappear... I bet they will be back gloating if Pakistan manages to do well for a change.
The worst part of this is that I fear Pakistan will kneel to the pressure and bring back that ass*hole Akhtar back into the team in a rush. Thats the worst thing that can happen, even if he wins a few matches for us.
Speaking of my best friend (Akhtar), did anyone read these quotes from him about the 2003 WC match when Tendulkar beat the living daylights out of him?

This explains exactly what my beef is with him. Talking about himself in the third person, giving all kinds of excuses about that day, not taking any blame at all on his shoulders, all in all a pathetic display of selfishness on his part. Its always been ME ME ME ME for him, and I for one am sick of him. Pakistan can do much better in the long run even being battered without him than having him in the team.
