@OsmanSamiuddin Thoughtful piece. And brilliant.

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@Ben_Wisden @Amermalik12 Noone should be fined for doing their jobs honestly and with effort. If they were not good enough, that’s fine ; drop them and bring new players. But this is horrific. If anything the Board should be questioned for the uncertainty they created during the tournament.

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@MohsinnaqviC42 You have too many portfolios. You need to focus on a specific role. We are a country of 250million, others can be effective where you don’t have the time. You need to address the cricket failure as well, politicising the tournament clearly backfired massively.

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@Amermalik12 Ofcourse we are going to win

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@Danny61000 Don’t be like that! I think this might be an epic rear guard

@PakPassion 150

@Amermalik12 I think Abbas benefited from the support of Hampshire over the last few years. Ultimately it’s a Pakistan cricket governance failure because they don’t know how to manage their talent pool. The insecurities / abrupt decision making has held them back.

@Amermalik12 Great piece. What a humble person

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@faizanlakhani So pathetic. How much woudl have been needed?

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@Amermalik12 I think they have a good chance to win though. Put about 170 more on the board. Its closer than it looks

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@Amermalik12 Ok this will not be happening. but it’s a nice thought

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@Amermalik12 I think they should start with winning a test match there first! I hope they have the right mind set now

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@SajSadiqCricket If you go even further back Pakistan have lost a lot more than that. Its an awful record

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@sharghzadeh I learnt this the hard way I really tried to embrace this culture but it’s horrific

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@sharghzadeh You are erudite, incredibly charismatic and immense knowledge. Don’t get dragged down by a few negative comments.

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@ilatif Such a good story

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@Amermalik12 You are absolutely right. Its unfortunate. And no matter what salman does ; the blot as captain will never go away.

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@ilatif Touché. Well said

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@ilatif That is two match sticks. Mine requires only one

[Rayhan Latif @rayhanlatif]

@zainubrazvi Just looking at the score cards , seems very unfair criticism by the commentator. And the relationship you mentioned makes it even less constructive. You are right to call this out. Very unfortunate.
