Alex Hales and Jason Roy departed earlier, but it
didn’t put England under pressure. They have the right players in the right
place and they are lead by a captain who doesn’t shy to take risks and attack
when it matters the most. After a long time, England are striking the right
chord in the 50-over format. They were down and dusted last year when
Bangladesh knocked them out of the World Cup, but gradually, they picked
themselves up and Eoin Morgan changed his style to gel this team well and make
them adapt to the modern style.
I have become a fan of the England limited-overs team.
If your captain is too predictive and pragmatic, even the
best bowlers in the team can’t fetch you wickets. That’s why the value of a
smart and attacking captain is very much in cricket. You have to operate like a
chess player. More often, I heard people say, Clive Lloyd or Steve Waugh was
blessed to have a great team, but let me tell you, if they were not the leader
of men, smart and attacking enough, a Michale Holding or Glenn McGrath would have
sucked big time.
Azhar is too boring as a captain. I don’t think his
cricketing brain is sharp and I question Misbah, how could you recommend Azhar
as the next captain?
Sarfraz played another gutsy knock, but it was wasted.
Pakistan should think of appointing Sarfraz as the next
captain. I find this guy passionate and temperamentally stronger than Azhar. I
am sure, his cricketing brain is also better than Azhar. Azhar and Asad Shafiq
should concentrate on Test cricket only.
Thank You
