Winning and losing is part of the package. Team Pakistan! dont lose heart and try your best. Pakistan want you to give it your best shot.

It is pathetic batting that has let Pakistan down too often and unless it is prepared to drop old guards with fresh talent, it will continue to suffer in a game it can claim to be its national game. Pakistan has relied heavily on its star bowlers in Amir, Asif and Ajmal but it has to be matched with some gutsy batting. Afridi, Younus, Umer Akmal be confined to history as failures outnumber good performances. A foreign coach is as good as the crop of players he inherits but present lot is bad.

No1 se lekar No11 tak saare batsmen tail enders hai ye kis tarah sab milkar 100 run bana rahe hai yehi match ka interesting point hai. Is baar bhi Allah chahe tu 100 banalenge kyunki 7 wkt baaki hai.
