4th Test, England vs Pakistan, The Oval, Aug 17-21 2006
The Oval is the place where Cricket was born, and after loosing the Series to England, Pakistan are in a strong position to win this test, but this would not change the results and rankings in ICC.
The problem with the Pakistan Cricket team, is that you never know what they are goin to do, when England were getting bowled out, i told my friend that we don’t have to be excited, because we never know if Pakistan would get bowled out under 100. This is the true fact of Pakistan Cricket, you can not tell by any means that what is going to end up withe Pakistan bowling or batting. What is needed is the consistency in the players, you always see young players coming in the team, making some good name, and suddenly they perform bad, I can not understand it first they build up your hype and then suddenly you are down the drain, barely rememberd by viewers.
I dont feel it has to do with the Cricket System, but has to do with the individuals, if you focus on game, and dont try to be smart, then you dont get suffered, you are here to play cricket and not to play politics, after playing for 1 or 2 Years, the want to be called senior players, Why ?. Give some time, play some series against on and off the soil, then you get then name.
Remember, Earn Respect, do not Demand Respect !
