@Warwolf: very well made points man... agree with you completely.
The problem we face now is because we didn't groom a player properly for no. 3 and 4 in our batting order. We need a player like Nannu, Akram, Bulbul in this side... People might say where is this player beside the 15 we have right now?... Frankly i don't know as well because we haven't tried finding one have we?... its always been a cycle of Roqibul and Ash and Mushfiq at no. 4.. and Junaid only at no. 3. People argue that a player needs to be given a consistent run at a particular position so that he can adapt to that particular role... after two years on we can now safely say that all the players: roqibul, junaid, mahmudullah and naeem have been given enough chances to shine. Now we need to have a closer look at our domestic league and find a player that doesn't only look for boundaries and are able to buckle down, defend and soak up the pressure should a wicket fall early... Junaid doesn't have any of those abilities and somehow he seems like he is destined for no. 3 just because he scores some fluke 50s off dropped catches...
