Sentiments of an expatriate Pakistani on the performance of Pakistani cricket team in the T20 World Cup.

I am very shocked with the manner of defeat, especially with the performance of Shaoib Malik, Kamran Akmal & Umar Gull. Pakistan has the weakest team in one days & T20. We are the only team that play with 3 specialist batsmen only- Ahmad Shahzad, Sohaib & Umar Akmal. Out of these 3 only Umar Akmal & Ahmad Shahzad are T20 specialist.

I am not surprised with these results, rather Pakistan played better than my expectation.

One thing was very clear from this tournament, Ashwin, Mishra, Badri. Naraine & Imran Tahir are much better spin bowlers than Saeed Ajmal. Saeed Ajmal looked very ordinary & is no way near to these bowlers class. Afridi bowled very well though.

We should give credit to WI. They bowled wonderfully well. I really enjoyed watching their bowling. It was a treat to watch. Pakistan played as per their potential. These players made their best to perform, but this is what they were capable of.

Would love to see WI winning this tournament.

cheers,
