What a GREAT Line up it was!!! A world class line up. Although I am a die hard fan of India and a staunch opposer of Pakistan,I use to admire the killing instinct of these players and the way they rose to an occassion especially when playing against India.
After having such a breed of players, Today the team is in a very sorry state.Only handful of players are good and even they have been banned.
Hope Pakistan gets at least class of few players of yester years to be a strong competitor and not become like West Indies. I want to see a tough match between the great INDIANS and Classy Pakistani's.
Of course INDIA should WIN. and and and yes Sachin the man of the match.

even before that, Mohsin Khan, Mudassar, Zaheer Abbas, Abdul Quadir, Wasim Bari, Sarfaraz Nawaz, Aseem Hafeez (the left arm fast bowler with only two fingers in his right hand) ...what a team they were....all talented, rustic, the only educated ones who could speak English being Imran, Sarfaraz, and Zaheer Abbas.

The Pakistan Team has always naturally talented players. But the problem is divison among players,politics and indiscipline.Till Imran was Captain, he manged the things like a ruler,everything was going fine.This drama is a reflection of Pakistan.They lay well and united with India only becoz all the team mates has grown by looking to target India and Indians.They cant dream Beyond India.This drama is every where in Pakistan.This is in Politics(Siyasat),Education,International affairs,Developmenet and all.Everyone learns from the Peers.Who can advice to Sahid Afridi?He is the Super Hero of Pakistan and Supernova Hero after winning T20.Although his performance is very poor then after and Domestic Records are not even available.But..He is in the Team and giing frequent suggestion not in the Dressing room but though Media about what to do and dont's during Australiya Tour.That shows he was thinking himself as King. This is a very great decision by PCB.They all need a lesson that they are a player who plays for nation.They are not above Law and nation.There should be life Ban on Afridi.He should sent to his Rifle Shop.

You R Right ....Teher was always diuvision in Pak team..In eighties Imarn, Sarfaraz..Zaheer, Miyandad then Wasim waqqar and so on...They all play just unite against India but in reality they dont make justice to their talent overall...Still its shoucking to know Yousuf and Younus khan are banned for life...great blow to Pak cricket team...
PCB has taken the stand to ban the Y-Y duo.Earlier statements says that it was a life ban.Now,they are saying its not life ban? What confusion? Govt.Of pakistan must have intervened in the matter,hence,the decision is changed.Why punish cricketers?......The Govt.Pakistan should ban terrorism from that country....first!!
