Is Pakistan cricket in a state of denial? Why are they persisting with non-oerfo

You made valid points friend but Kamran but poor against Srilanka too , he missed two stampings of Sangakara and dropped a catch.Pakistan were lucky that they managed to take the wicket of Sangakara after those two misses , otherwise Sanga would have won the match on his own for sure.

Look I am not saying he is perfect and can not do mistake but too much critism also effect players form and he is facing this criticizes continuously in last 3 months. I think its our management fault too because he has no facility for practice or any consultation or guide during this whole world cup. He is alone to do whatever he can in this tournament because we have fielding coach bowling coach, one more thing no batting coach too. Our main coach Waqar is also bowling minded, our fielding coach Aqib Javed is also bowler. What kind of respect do you think an bowler give to keeper? If he catch credit goes to bowler, if he drop all fault goes to him, no one is there for him to uplift his moral or show some way or provide any guidance. I think he is already playing in massive pressure also we want good blasting batting from him too. So I think he is the escape goat for our Captain and management because he is an easy target. Although I agree with you regarding his poor performance which is hurting us most of the time but he need some backup too.

That is what I said. Even you are showing symptoms of denial.You are saying no or giving excuses. Unless you accept the reality how can you make changes and improvement. This is not a three match series where a couple of good performances will win you the series. If Akmal is being criticized do you think the critics are wrong?? All of them? Shoaib is no longer match fit. Occasionally he may produce a wicket taking ball but on the whole he will be punished and what about his fielding? He is unfit and therefore he should not be in the team.Pakistan has always produced highly talented players but of late no new comer is allowed to come in, it seems. Yeah I can agree on the lack of facilities point, but why blame others. Its not as if you don't have a coach and Waqar was Pakistan captain and as a coach why can't he understand Akmal,s problems? You mean a batsman coach, a fielding coach and a wicket keeper coach, now that is being very demanding isloooboy? This Pakistan team is crazy , more crazy than any previous team we have seen.The talented players are there but they are twiddling their thums back in Pakistan as a bunch of aged, unruly and indisciplined side is having fun at the expense of the loyal fans back in Pakistan is there but no direction. Afridi is not the leader who can inspire confidence in his boys. Afridi is saying that if they finish 4th they will have to face India, he does not want that. Very surprising!! It was always India that was nervous of Pakistan. How can your captain say something like that? He means they can't do better than 4th and so what does it prove. This bunch is already mentally prepared to lose and go back home. why? Because there are groups within the team and Afridi knows that, he was part of groups when some one else was leading, right?

You are right. Without fitness and professionalism no team can expect to win the world cup.Pakistan is the least professional outfit. and unfit too. The way the new zealanders forced Gul and afridi to finish their quota and the way they pounced on the struggling trio of Akhtar,Razzack and Rehman was a lesson in professionalism. Otherwise Ross Taylor would have struggled to score 62 of 18 balls in the end overs.
