i think there are few things here
1. No doubt Pakistan ODI team played very very poorly. They are yet to come up to the levels of what they are capable of. Somewhere mindset is an issue and i think coach Waqar needs to share the blame too as dressing room seems to be a bit unsettled. Players come to say team test or odi and then suddenly retire or dropped for disciplinary stuff etc etc. or for poor performance. Seems confidence of boys is a bit low and support staff is not adequately able to handle such stuff.. May be needed some sessions with good mind conditioning experts who can instill and make them have more self belief.
2. The run out to me was absolutely poor piece of judgements. Under pressure they just panicked and fell apart. I was especially unhappy with Shoaib Malik as i know he is an experienced cricketr and a former captain himself. He should have taken more responsibility and i am sure he would be most disspointed with teh way he got out
3. England tabloid saying - i dont think i am in good situation to comment but it seems the English papers believe clearly their England Cricket team is not capable of beating Pakistan under any circumstances. So their ODI team creating pressure to make Pakistani batsman crumble and panic was unappreciated via allegations of fixing
4. IF allegations are really true, then i can assure you pak team and PCB will throw all such ppl out and ban them for life. They already had banned people before so nothing new that they wont do that to players who r proven to be culprits
To me it was a very poor brand of cricket displayed by Pakistani team and coach Waqar is unable to guide them. They need a fresh mind as coach and the boys needs to play with responsibility and pride for the jersey they wear.
i would tag a big cricket fan
@BDforever here. I feel his opinions on this matter should also be taken. I am sure he is also disspointed by the way Pakistani ODI team played. Also full marks to ENgland ODI team. They played some good cricket no doubt.
