Sreesanth in plac of Munaf and i d pick a extra spinner in place of Virat/Raina/Yuvi..
The problem is with the questioner/interviewer for asking such inane questions, not Imran. The truth is that nobody has a clue about who will win the world cup.
So in one statement he is saying two things. If the team loses, he will say "oh I already said this was the worst prepared team". If Pak wins he will say "oh I already said that if they remain united they can lift the trophy". So either way he is going to be right (or wrong depending on what way you choose to look at it). These kind of statements are just useless words.

He is only telling of their controversies and their unpredictability that has always dogged them. He is correct, when he tells that when they click as one they can be a handful. But that is always a big IF.
Somehow Imran has always been the true leader for Pakistan, who could get things done out of even the most ordinary cricketers. One of the greatest of all times.
I am an ardent admirer of Imran Khan. One of the reasons why I am is because of his honesty, integrity and 'no bulls***' approach to matters concerning cricket. He has the correct estimate about his former team. Pakistan are not minnows BUT they don't have the team or the mentality to win a high pressure world cup. Their fans on Cricinfo however have this rage and hatred towards India simply out of mere jealousy. The Pakistani team have a reckless captain in Afridi who can lose his cool very soon. Their batting is suspect. Their main strong point is their fast bowling department. Overall Pakistan team is a talented one but in this world cup they will be knocked out in the latter stages.
