Secrets of Pakistan’s Success in the 1st T2o Cricket Match Vs England

England in the 1st T20 in UAE? Answers are as following.
1. Selection of a very balanced team.
2. Exploding aggression in the batting of Awais Zia.
3. Very mature batting display of Shoaib Malik and Misbah ul Haq.
4. Much improved fielding and catching by all Pakistani players.
5. Excellent bowling display by the Pakistani bowlers in the last five overs (26/3).
However, I think Hafeez is responsible for getting out Awais Zia. Remember, a ball before Awais Zia got out, playing a slower one with double mind, Hafeez told him to be careful in his hitting.
There was no need for such an advice in a T20 match, when Zia was hitting the ball perfectly from the middle of his bat. Half of failures in life arise, in pulling in ones horse, while he is leaping.
Cricket – India Wins ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2011
Heartiest congratulations to India on a well deserved and well earned cricket ODI world cup 2011 victory achieved for the 1st time by any nation on its own soil.
Cricket ODI ICC World Cup 2011 – Recipe of Victory for Pakistan
Every negative has a positive. Although, Pakistan lost in a pathetic manner against New Zealand, in their group match played on March, 08, 2011 yet, I believe that we should consider this defeat as a blessing in disguise. Because firstly, it was not a knock out situation and secondly, now we know all the chinks in our armor which we can and should be mended, to play our future matches with total focus and determination on winning the finals, at all costs.
In this regard, the following steps are suggested as an immediate corrective measures.
1. Our main problem is batting. Mr. Mohsin Hasan Khan (Chief Selector) is a very experienced, committed & dedicated person. Our team badly needs his services for planning, strategy and overall game plan. As such, Mr. Mohsin Hasan Khan may be asked to immediately join the team, for utilizing his services to uplift team’s batting in particular & overall performance in general.
2. Request M/S Imran Khan and Javed Mindad to hold daily video or telephonic conference with the team management and entire team and discuss all training, motivational, technical, tactical and strategy issues relating to the next matches.
3. We should avoid insanity which is defined as ” Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” What I mean to say is that Mr. Kamran Akmal should not be expected to deliver as a wicket keeper or attacking batsman. Hence, if possible he should (in the national interest) feign injury, return home and some able replacement may be sent in. Otherwise, he should be replaced with Asad Shafiq as a batsman and Umar Akmal should be given the responsibilities of wicket keeping.
4. Now coming to our strategy for the 1st ten overs. These overs are more precious than gold. Here, again insanity should be avoided and Abdul Razzaq and Shahzad Ahmad should open the innings with license to play shots, freely and keeping in view a target score not less than 90-100 runs. ( Not failure but low aim is crime).
5. If a wicket falls in 1st ten overs, Shahid Afridi should bat at No.3.
6. It must be clear to all and sundry that M/S Abul Razzaq & Shahid Afridi have virtually played no role in any Pakistani current world cup victory with their bat. And the team needs this role very badly.
7. If a spinner is required to bowl in the 1st ten overs, Hafeez should be asked to do the job.
8. Junaid, the left arm fast bowler must be given the chance to prove himself in the next match.
9. Winning the world cup is almost like achieving the impossible. And in order to achieve the impossible, it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought. World class success can not be achieved with second class performance.
10. The biggest plus of this tournament has been the emergence of Shahzad Ahmad as the best fielder of the team. This asset should be properly utilized, to the maximum advantage of the team.
