Pakistan Cricket
Currently Pakistan have the second most talented team on paper, behind Australia. The team is filled with match winners, players who have natural talent and have yet to fulfill their ability on the international stage.
The new young captain in Shoaib Malik will have his work cut out, in trying to proprel Pakistan cricket to the top of the world again, which they were in 1992 when they won the world cup in Australia.
Pakistan cricket is massive, simply because it is the main sport in the beautiful country, just like it is in India.
The two key players to Pakistan Cricket remain Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Akhtar. Shahid Afridi is the biggest hitter of a cricket ball in the world , slightly ahead of Adam Gilchrist. He can be simply destructive on his day, and he has a reputation that has installed fear in opposition players. Shoaib Akhtar is the quickest bowler in the world when fully fit and free from injury. He hits a good length and bowls a heavy ball similar to Andrew Flintoff. So it feels that he is bowling well over 150 km/h when the batsmen face him.
With both Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Akhtar firing, Pakistan cricket will return to its glory days. It will take some time though, depending upon how quickly Shoaib Malik picks up the job of captaincy, and how successful he is.
