He has shown in domestic tournaments that he has many enterprising tatics that Shoaib Malik doesn’t hold. He is positive in approach and is always an inspiring figure in the dressing room.And if you believe that role models don’t make good captains just look at MS dhoni and how far the Indian team has progressed since he took over.

I hope the PCB use some sense and appoint AFRIDI captain ASAP. Shoaib Malik’s captaincy is harming the results of Pakistani cricket and breaking the hopes of many fans.

Meanwhile I have watched a few matches of the Lahore badshads and I must say the team looks very exciting and impressive. Some of the players are still capable of playing for Pakistan and was a brainless decision to block them from playing in Pakistan in the first place.

England vs Newzeland series at the moment is dull and lacks excitement. Both teams have been to negative and defensive and are scoring at old fashioned rates. However the series is nicely poised at 1-1 and it should be an intresting farewell to Stephen Fleming.

next in line definitely are misbah and butt, if butt’s form remains consistent. misbah is being trained now in case malik loses out. i am 100% sure that if we dont see malik leading the side into world cup 2011, we will see misbah. misbah has so much experience and confidence now that he will always score heavily against average teams. he might have a problem with australia and south africa but we have seen that didnt affect inzamam or yousuf, or younus. so i definitely think misbah is there to remain in the team until 2011. and he will probably be the next in line to become captain if he already isnt captain.

im just being realistic here and my views may hurt some people.

You are talking about a fresh start which is all well and good but how do you make sure that happens? who do you make captain? it has to be a someone from the team who can at least select himself in the eleven. I personally do not find anyone else who is strictly better than malik on both counts in the team right now.

Your point is accepted but don’t you think Pakistan cricket needs a fresh change from the current uncertainty and politics we have seen in Malik’s tenure as captain? A captain should be someone who is not afraid to take risks and face the prospect of losing. Currently Malik is too obsessed with maintaining the status quo and the PCB is fully supporting him. But the results that were expected from him are not showing.

I fully supported Malik until recently but every passing day I feel more frustrated with his captaincy.

The problem lies in his maddening inconsistency. If he could get his shot selection right and be a little more consistent…he could be an allrounder in the real sense of the world (in tests he already averages 39 from 20 odd games with the bat and 31 with the ball. that shows that he can be better. I hope he really thinks and tries to be a world-beater because he does have the talent…if he could only get his head right.

Aao Parosan khailain holy
Mai, tum, tendulkar, Ganguly

And to add colour to samy’s comment, yeah the LS sounds more like Lexus ;-)
Yeah, India vs SA would be a good series but, this NZ vs England series is so dull, staid and boring. Although Keven Pietersen has struck form with a ton, but there is nothing in this series.

I hope you can add more features in the coming days.
Also looking forward to your thread on the upcoming India-SA Test series.
