Dissappointing, ���very one thinks that WI team is weakest in 8 teams but Pakistan claim this title now. Actually, pakistan may win 3,4 matches in WC but with only 3 or 4 batsman it���s difficult to win World cup. if u compair wid team like australia ,india and south africa they have 6,7 v gud batsman but pakistan. Pakistan is really missing Good opening pair. U remember when malik started playing No 3 pakistan performance was really good and they were chasing but now... lower order was also weak bcoz of absence of razzaq n afridi. I hope afridi will back and kaneria experiment disturb the balance of team. need alrounder. atleast our batting should be until 8. Rana continues his bad form but there should not me any tolerance during WC. I think Sami will replace him.

'i don't blame inzi and yousuf....as they also need some minimum platform of 50-60 runs before three wicket falls and all the pressure mounts on them.....n they have to play during the powerplays which is not their strength....as they can't pick singles during that stage....i think they r better suited from 20-40 overs(atleast inzi) 'I knew inzamam and people will say the same,but the matter of fact is if you know your top order is fragile and you come at no.5 or 6 again and again then there is no point of discussion.This pakistan team is lacking patience from top order and inzamam and yousuf showed too much patience for my liking.They knew abdul razzaq is not playing who can up the tempo in last overs,still they slowed down the match and got out.If shoaib malik can score runs quickly then why can't our best batsmen.I never like this idea of consolidation and playing slow,because when you get out all the effort goes into vain and next batsmen come under even more pressure.If yousuf and inzamam cannot win us the match,then it's clear we will not do well in worldcup,so i am cool in a way that i know my team is not going to do exceptionally well,they will do average stuff,they can have a good 'day where everybody fires',but overall pretty average side.

pakistan has themselves to blame,westindies didn't look confident while batting,but thanks to bowlers like rana,they managed to score 241.And then when yousuf and inzamam were batting,they slowed the run rate way too much,if your best batsmen play like this then they got to see ur team through till end,which both of them did not.Shoaib malik is wasted down the order,he must open in place of imran nazir rather than younis khan because shoaib malik can score boundaries which can be helpful during powerplays.I am disappointed by the fact that pakistan won't find too many under pressure sides like westindies playing in their own home the first match of this worldcup.Westindies will get a lot of heart from this performance.Pakistan team now will be looking to qualify for other round,but let me tell you no game is easy,zimbabwe and ireland will give them tough time.
