First of all thanks i appreciate the feedback

SL vs Pak

Consider the performers you just mentioned...Vaas, Muruli thats the entire bowling strength of Srilanka their most dependable top bowlers, Sangakara is among their best batsmen. What you fail to mention is that Younis did not want to play, he opted out himself and him along with the so called speed demon have rarely performed in the matches they have played in the recent past. So really from a fans point of view the big guns were not there. Obviously it was better than the world cup games... Pakistan fans were there.


Captaincy

You might think Malik is wet behind the ears, but those who have seen him captain in domestic cricket will agree that is an astute one, just because Moyo is a terrific record breaking batsmen does not mean he should be automatic choice for captain, how many successes has Moyo had as captain? has he even captained a side in the domestic level??

Inzi
Respected? day after day following the world cup debacle Inzi was humiliated by the media.. the PCB blamed him and the hearing that followed found HIM responsible for Pakistan's world cup faliure. His decision to take a 2 month sojourn following the world cup and him saying in his last interview that this was the toughest time of his life tells me all about his current state of mind. He is in the same position Waqar and Waseem might have been in, but you have to remember Waseem was disgraced by match fixing and Waqar... no one knows what happened to him. If you want to compare him with the greats of the past, consider him and Imran Khan on retirement, there is the stark difference in picture right there.

If you remember our crowning glory was when we won the world cup, the small competition you refer to is the Flag ship of all cricket, no one cares if you lose to england or WI or SL as long as in the end you win the cup, thats what it is all about. How many people in Pakistan remember that Imran lead the team to a win in england and other places... yet they all remember that he led Pakistan and brought the cup home.
