aslamoalekum,
i know that decision is now been taken but i was wondering rather i am still
wondering is opting for latif as captain the right choice?
according to me what they should hav done is that they should see out of the
present squad how many players can play at their top fitness level and
performance till next world cup i.e. 2007 and i really doubt that latif or
for that matter any senior players would b able to do that which includes
wasim
waqar
shoaib (not bcoz he is old but he has ego problems and lacks stamina)
saeed bhai
inzi
latif
moin
afridi (coz i don't regard him as a international player he is a "gali
mohalla" player)
i'm not against any of the above player coz in their era they hav played
superb cricket and hav won quite a lot of matches for Pakistan but now we
should bid them farewell and give an opportunity to new blood and properly
train them for next wrold cup .....as far as electing a captain i would
suggest Taufiq Umar or Shoaib Malik or Hassan Raza.....coz these three do
hav the attitude, the will, and the guts of taking the responsibilty comon
yaar look at South Africa they names Smith the captain who has hardly played
60 or 70 odd matches just bcoz he had the ability to handle the team
......leadership does not require any experience
from where i see it the decision of latif as captain is absolutely wrong
......it doesn't really matter whether he wins series now i will still say
he is wrong coz how long can he play another year or 1.5 year max than what
then we would hav to train another keeper so what will b the use?
its a pity that we never learn from our mistakes ....lets just hope and pray
best for our team and go on supporting them
waiting for criticism and views
Allah hafiz
