I have seen quite a few worst captains in my life and
surely, even they will find it tough to beat Azhar Ali. How could he not engage
his best bowler when a partnership was flourishing? Yes, it’s tough to defend a
250 plus score against a team like England, but still, when you have the wicket
takers in your team, then, you can even defend a score of 200 runs.
Mohammad Irfan’s spell was breathtaking while at one point
Umer Gul took stranglehold the English batting line-up when they were four
down. But Azhar, stuck to some young and inexperienced bowlers and decided not
to mix-up his bowling that much. Even a layman knows very well in this age of social
media and cable TV, what to do when a partnership starts to flourish. Sadly,
Misbah-ul -Haq and some of the his boot-lickers’ recommended man doesn’t know.
Like Carlos Dunga, Misbah has damaged the Pakistan
limited-overs team. Brazil have been lucky enough to replace Dunga with someone
like Tite , but whether the Pakistan Cricket Board would be sensible enough to
replace Azhar remains a moot question. Azhar has no brains and it’s a fact.
Pakistan could have won the match if Azhar was not the
captain.
Azhar deserves a 5-0 drubbing.
Thank You
