PCB Do Something Good. Still Late Though
By TJ for Stani Army in Pakistan Cricket
Mohammad Yousuf and Abdul Razzaq have been brought back into the fold by the PCB after resigning from the ICL. This comes too late for either of them to participate in the T20 WC.
Having initially had Razzaq as one of the three ICL players they had picked in the initial T20 WC squad, had the PCB not later withdrawn them then Razzaq would have been able to participate.
Many would not have Yousuf in their T20 squad but I am not one of them. Fall of wickets in the shorter form of the game does require stability in the batting order and he is the perfect man to do it. I have seen him play attacking also and he does it with as much grace as he does when constructing a Test century. May be it is his fielding that lets him down but that is certainly something that can be workd on.
Now all we need is two palyers to drop out of the T20 WC squad so we can replace them with Yousuf and Razzaq. Stani Army has placed another order for that viral warts stuff that we submerged Shoaib’s underwear in.
Any suggestions on who we should infect this time?

I wonder why they’re taking their sweet time on Imran Nazir. He shud’ve been the first person to be brought back.
Yousuf’s return is good for Pakistan’s test prospects.. Im not sure if he can fit back into the ODI or T20 side..
Razzak shud be a sure shot for the T20s. For the ODIs, I hope his bowling is back to its best, otherwise it maybe difficult to fit him there.
Well atleast we have a good bench now, with all these players back in the fold.

Yousuf could destabilise the team.
I believe that Pakistan can win without these players so there is no need to infect anyone.:)

Q, I wouldn’t be surprised if the ICL put up a fight over Nazir. He was their superstar. Either that or he upset some ego in the PCB.
No Yousuf in the ODI side?!?! I’ll forgive you this. I think because you haven’t seen him play for a while, you’ve forgotten how tasty he is!
I agree about Razzaq’s bowling and our bench strength…as long as our bench is used!

That’s it Ott, you’re next!
(By the way, just to make it absolutely clear, I do not physically infect people. I use Amy S for that….as bait.)
In regards Yousuf, you just don’t like bearded fellows do you Ott…ever since that incident with father Christmas and his lap.
If Pakistan do win then I’ll forgive you and say you was right all along.

Imran Nazir hasn’t submitted his clearance letter from ICL, I think ICL is reluctant to let him go, anyways none of these players could have played in the WC T20 because the team for the WC has already been announced.

You know why Nazir’s taking his time Waz? This could work against him especially with the PCB and their record of holding grudges.
God knows in the future they may turn around to him and say “when you resigned from the ICL, you didn’t show any eagerness to play for your country by submitting your clearance letter immediately so we’re not picking you”

Imran Nazir after two ICL seasons and RBS tournament now has a different star value in the eyes of public he has also become a big commercial attraction, he has become one of the very few Pakistani players people would pay to see in action, I think PCB bosses would be stupid not to select him for the SriLankan series.

PCB being stupid? Never!
Yes I hope he’s involved against Sri Lanka. I’m just miffed why all this couldn’t have been done earlier. Even a month or two and it would have made a world of difference….may be even a world cup of difference.
But this competition for places is bound to be healthy for us. Soon we’ll be a force to reckon with in any form of the game.
Things are finally looking up

Welcome Adnan.
Swat is a beautiful place and with what’s gone on there recently, the people deserve some happiness. Stani Army is 100% behind the inclusion of Imran Nazir in the Pakistan side. Let’s hope the PCB is listening.
Just imagine we had him for this World Cup!
