Hoping for a change. One post at a time :s

I've always had a lot of respect for javed miandad, after all he's the one of the most successful pakistani batsmen if not the most successful and i.ve always paid heed to his opinions about the state of pakistani cricket or the current team. But Recently he made a statement which made me rethink. He said mohammad yousuf did a fine job as a captain and should be retained as captain for a longer term! I mean seriously? The guy was a total failure. Not only did he himself fail as a player on the recent newzealand series but he failed to come out as a leader!He did not rotate his bowlers properly or have any idea about field placement. The pakistani team dropped an average of about 11 catches per test match. I agree that that his not yousuf's fault. But having the wrong man at the wrong place is. Imran farhat dropped 3 catches at first slip and not even tough one's and yet the guy stood at the same position all throughout the match. Umar gul one of the worst fielders was standing on the point position, where he dropped a sitter and mccullum went on to make a century! The point is the most crucial position in the game and the most amazing fielders have occupied that place. jonty rhodes, ricky pointing and more recently suresh raina of india! Yaar had ho gai. I couldn't help but laugh at his field positions and the decisions he took! It's about time we get an intelligent player in the team and make him captain. Someone whose young, fresh and understands the game of cricket!
