Pakistan cricket chief gives feelers to team
While watching the India v Pakistan match, I was wondering about the attitude of the Pakistan Players. They looked as it they are on a walk in a park in downtown Karachi. Super Laid Back, smiling, chatting with their IPL teammates et al. It was as if they were just chilling as they knew that they would be in the final. Lack of Resolve is the buzz phrase here.
This is what Naseem Ashraf, the Chief guy in Pakistan Cricket, wrote in a letter to the Team Management: (six and out takes no responsibility of the leak):
Last night’s performance against India in which we lost by over 100 runs was embarrassing.
It is not a question of losing a match but our overall performance and the lack of resolve and commitment bothered me.
We were smiling and joking as if we were some junior team which was happy just to be given the privilege of playing against a top team. This has to stop.
Ashraf singled out wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal, describing his performance as “pathetic”, particularly an incident when he dropped a catch but still claimed it.
This is unsporting behavior but perhaps one has to give him the benefit of the doubt. But I do not want such behavior from our players please warn everyone. We ought to be looking at playing another wicketkeeper,” Ashraf added
Quite needed, though I just don’t like blame games. Sir, please put your pads on or just let them play. Or call the selectors to get your niece selected.
