We have come up on this tour carrying a good year on shoulders. But just lost the way in these conditions. We are himiliated in ODI series by 5-0. The failure does not give notion to the failure of all departments but it is the batting. Batters failed to give Pakistan a good foundation. Today in the first T20. Only two batsmen entered into the double figures besides nothing and bowled out for 106 and NZ won it by 7 wickets

Gone are the days of Wasim-waqar duo complimented by saqlain, then saeed Anwer, inzamam, miandad, Afridi and Moin khan always at the tail of batting. I don't watch cricket anymore. I hope Pakistani team improves.

T20 ruines player skills

Pakistani players don't have the supreme academies like in England or Australia or New Zeland

Majority of players come into Senior squads after playing tape cricket and slog fest Tournaments where the Tennis cricket bat shot is best way to hit a ball.

In past we used to be able to train few players privately after they were discovered on basic skill improvements and that used to work , mix of street cricket and little bit of training

But when you put T20 into Mix , the players are completely at loss over how to approach the Longer formats of game

Every shot has to be a hit , there is no focus on placement or taking 2's and 3's to keep scoring moving. Unfortunately that is the problem we have and it will not go away anytime soon provided we play and Emphasis T20

One other thing to note , that in Past we used to play 3-4 Month long test /ODI series together with lot of regional friendlies and that used to serve as a Training and On the job learning for many raw players.

The game has evolved too much, street cricket can only get you so far

Did you create an ID just for this? It's just a sport! Nothing of actual significance
