I think the fitness is quite poor as well, they need to lay off the biryani, samosas and these fried Asian food etc.
Shoaib Akhtar was right when he said that seeing Sarfaraz fat belly and face at toss was not good because as a captain you should be fit.

Complacency is in our genes. That's why people admire Kohli so much because with so much of the natural talent, he doesn't take anything for granted.

Please. I really dislike all this blame on genes etc etc. Pakistan I began to admire mainly because of their 'never say die' attitude. In the 90's, you guys had that attitude and now our guys have it. I still remember how the likes of Akram, Moin Khan etc would never ever ever give up. I would not breathe easy till we got over the line. These days, I know India has to play poorly for Pakistan to win. it's just how it is. We have a good lot of players now, you had them back then. One thing I definitely see a marked difference is that India are a lot more professional these days compared to Pakistan. That also has to do a lot with no cricket being played in Pakistan.
 
I mainly came here to call Shoaib Akhtar an absolute idiot. I don't know who the hell he thinks he is with that YouTube channel he has going. He is literally praising himself for criticising Pakistan after West Indies game and claiming it as the reason Pakistan gave England a "Phainta" or whatever the sh!t he likes to call it. What an utter fool! If you guys see some of his broadcasting when he was working in India, you people will throw up on him. He used to shower praise on India and be so disrespectful towards his own players and country that it was cringeworthy and pathetic! He had his tail between his legs proper because he needed to make money. Just have a look at Akram. Pure pure class!

I didn't watch any of Shoaib's video's. But hearing you, I have changed my opinion about him. If you don't support your nation in the world cup, that's fine. You have your choices. But why discourage them? Why act so pathetic?

I have no issue with people not supporting their country. It's just sport. But stating whimsical things as facts (Watch the AB de Villiers video), his idiotic and frankly pathetic jibe at Sarfaraz and followed by his self praise on Pakistan's victory against England is another proof of the cricketer he was. Characterless!

Inshallah Pakistan. India is a great team, but then you have Pakistan who can blow any team away on their day. I think strategically if Pakistan has a set plan, play as a team, fix small errors, improve their fielding and overall just depends on how Pakistan face the match. Hopefully if it's with confidence, belief they can win no matter the situation. And don't come under pressure and crumble. They can do it

Tbh it's not been that easy to beat the Indian team as what people think. If ever they lose a match they would be hurting themselves and would always want to do better. Considering how Pakistan beat India in the CT'17 Finals definitely India would want to go all over the Pakistan team to secure a victory. The moment you let this Indian side realise that they are in the game they would try to hurt you and would want to make use of every opportunity to dominate. You just don't need to do only the basics right against the Indian team but need to do something extraordinary to beat them. The onus will be on Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Amir to give early wickets to Pakistan considering that both of them are left handers and can swing the ball both ways with accuracy and high speeds which has been Indian side's weakness over the years !!

But the fact is Pakistan lost all 6 matches to India because of the outside pressure of the crowds and the expectation on them.

Woah :p , media saying about grouping in the team, Shoaib, Imad, Imam, Wahab and Inzamam, they all want Imad to be Captain and Sarfraz to go home. :p

Appointing Imad as Captain is a worser choice though. He doesn't inspire any good confidence to the side. If he becomes one then we can see where Pakistan Cricket is heading to ;)

i still believe that Sarfraz is a good captain but has to work on his fitness and batting! Shoaib must leave the team along with Imam, hafeez and hassan ali and make way for new talent and make a place for the likes of Fawad Alam! Umar Akmal and Ahmed Shehzad had a very bright future keeping in mind that when they were young (19-20 YO) they constantly won matches for PAKISTAN!
