what is going on with pakistan cricket?

pak cricket always have had issues with captain and team, tam and management an so on. they need to be more diplomatic in tackling such issues.

They dont really play a lot of cricket these days and that is one of their main problems. They dont seem to have the confidence to win games. They do well in one department, but the other will fail. They played poorly in the first test against Australia, then played good quality cricket for three days in the second test and then lost the plot on the fourth day. When playing Austrlia you cannot afford to give then a slight sniff or they will pounce. Pakistan seemed to have forgoten they had played good cricket to be in a winnig position against Australia and then turned defensive. They blew their best chance of winning. Their catching will also have to improve if they want to be competitive in the next test match. Besides this they also have a lot of problems with their administration. Too much politics is getting in the way of their cricket. I think they need a change right from the top. And then offcourse they dont play cricket at home due to the terrorist attacks earlier this year. That also may be affecting them morally and they do not get games with a home advantage.

I don't think that Pakistanm can win only in 20-20 format of the game. They have the capacity to win even test matches. Bowling is their best weapon that can be harmful to any opposition. Even this time against Australia, they had shown in the same in the first innings. But during the second innings they just got little diffensive. As Yousuf had agreed that the tactise was not gone well this time. Pakistan let Australia take singles to take wickets at the other end. Also don't under estimate Australia on their home pitch. Though the first 3 days belongs to Pakistan, Australia showed their strength from 4th day onwards.

i dont feel so,cricket is a game of uncertainity.also we cant predict anything about pakistan. they have the capacity to win a test match,not 20-20 only. they have to improve their teams strength.

The thing which the pakistan team is missing is the presence of some legendary player who can guide them in the longer format of the game as in longer format you have to know how to handle pressure and that they are not having.Handling pressure comes from experience and they dont have too much experienced persons who handle pressure pretty well.That is one reason that they had such fall from winning position to losing position.And so the lack of consistency i seen in them.

I don't think so. The have the potential to win any format of cricket. nut they are main weakness is lack of consistency. In one match they used to play like world class Champions. In next they used to play like a bully underdog team . Quite interesting. But i strongly believe that they have the potential enough to beat any team in the world. Just they have to focus on cricket as much as possible instead of political issues.

Pakistan is one such team that we cannot predict about how it goes into every match preparation-wise and also they are very unpredictable many times, as sometimes they can't even get the smallest of totals by first bowling out the opposition dismally and then sometimes, they surprise us by winning a match with huge total as their winning target. It is just that on that day, some individual performances stood up and that is the reason for their unpredictability as they more often than not rely on individual performances. Little do they show some team effort, otherwise they would have been a consistent team to be reckoned with at international level!!
