I was not reffering to pakistans batting when i mentioned he is a genius. I spoke of how the team never looked down after being thrashed in the first 10 overs by Jaysuria.. of how he persisted with razzaq after he had gone for a whopping in his first two overs, that spoke volumes for his charecter. He was constantly in everyones face guiding.. smiling gesturing.. thats the kind of captain i prefer to the monk like inzimam. Also on display was some of the best fielding pakistan has done in a decade you think that happened by itself? FYI srilanka were about 2 down for 165 runs to get the whole team from that point in a matter of 80 runs is no little feat. Without him pakistan would have been at sea. Afridi was sent early because had he stayed on the wicket for even a bit... he would half done half of razzaqs work earlier. I think that is the right position for Afridi.. he needs to be given that postion and play at that continuosly.
