After 100 years of research scientists found a new organ in our body parts
which is located in digestive system organs, nutritionists found new ways of
healthy diet, physical trainers clinched the training with the machines instead
of physical ground exercises which mean world is going to cover the new
horizons but despite all of these achievements When we look back in our Cricket
team records in 2016, they are still constant in unexpectedly characteristics.
Pakistan Cricket team who took start with victory against New Zealand in
the year’s first cricket match (T20) end up the year with the defeat at
Melbourne in the test match not only the match but lost all the three test matches
series by 3-0.
Pakistan lost some of the managed matches because of this habit of
uncertainty like after the getting lead of more than 100 runs Misbah eleven
lost at Edgbaston; similar thing did against West Indies at UAE and against
Australia in Brisbane and Melbourne. The all three departments look like
similar in pressure situation with below average performances in those moments
like Fielding, batting and even bowling which was the trade mark of Pakistan
team in the past.
PCB experienced foreign and native
coaching staff in last 5 years on alternative bases but got no impact in any
discipline which is a itself a big question on the Cricket system and structure
and all the cricketing and administrative brains of the board. The coaches
including Head Coach, Bating and bowling coach should account to rectify the
defeats problems.
When we look back in terms of stats, Pakistan Cricket team played total 38
matches in all the three formats, lost 21 and won 17 and the Average is about
18 %. According to The division of these 38 matches, Pakistan played fifteen
(15) T20 matches, and one more test than the ODI matches i.e 12 and 11
respectively.
Green Team won one more match then they lost in T20’s as won 8 and lost 7
matches. Pakistan first match played in 2016 was T20 against New Zealand at
Auckland and won it by 16 runs and paved the excellent start for their fans
back in homeland but victory become dream after that and team lost all the
matches against good teams until Sri Lanka in Asia cup.
Afridi as captain of T20 lost the series against New Zealand by 2-1 than
lost the important matches against India and Bangladesh in Asia cup 2016. ICC
WT20 which was played in India but the results not different than the past as
Pakistan Lost most important matches against India, New Zealand and Australia,
the only victory was against weaker Bangladesh by 55 runs. In result of series
of defeats the controversy between Team players, management and even PCB higher
authorities arose and in result of panic situation T20 captain Shahid Afridi,
Head Coach Waqar Younis relieved from their jobs and PCB appoint Sarfraz Ahmad
as T20 captain and Mickey Arthor as head coach of Green Team.
the most important tour of Pakistan Cricket team after 2010 fixing
controversy has started in of 2016 in England during that team played 4 tests,
5 ODI’s and a T20. That was the historical tour of Pakistan team in which they
equalized the test series with 2-2 and in result of that ranked First in ICC
Test ranking for three months.
No doubt this was the best ever achievement in the record book of Misbah Ul
Haq but the uncertainty was still alive during this tour as they lost Edgbaston
even after getting 100 plus runs lead in first inning. English team balanced
the record book with heavy wins in the ODI series with margin of 4-1. The only
T20 was won by the Sarfraz eleven by 9 wickets in which Sharjeel khan made 59
runs at old Trafford Manchester.
After that there were time for Pakistan team to host West Indies in UAE in
three matches in each format of ODI, T20 and tests. Pakistan won both ODI and
T20 series and white washed West Indies but Misbah eleven in test once again
unexpected in third and last Test match which lost by 5 Wickets.
Pakistan team start tour of continent Australia to play against New Zealand
and Australia and in first phase played two test matches against New Zealand
but lost both tests by 8 wickets and 138 runs respectively.
To play against Aussies always a big challenge for Pakistan Cricket team
but this time the expectations was high because of Misbah elevens performance
in England and Smith eleven against Sri Lanka, South Africa but cricket lovers,
expatiators and analyst forgot the consistency in uncertainty of team Pakistan.
Pakistan lost the Brisbane test after getting control over the match and
Melbourne test after Azhar ali’s unbeaten double ton and later on remaining two
in Melbourne and Sydney as Australia white washed Pakistan by 3-0.
Pakistan Cricket team was the ranked
number one test team in 2016 which was the biggest milestone in the test
Cricket history. Misbah ul Haq become the most successful captain even by
beating icon of Cricket Imran khan as well but he was looking wingless bird in
last two tests in Australia and alike in ongoing Sydney test.
All above mentioned stats clearly telling that there is need to better the system
as well as the other pillars of team building and management avoids
uncertainty.
The team spirit was shaky
as Green’s lost ODI series by 3-1 after the 3-0 defeat in test series from
Australia. Captain for short term Muhammad Hafeez become the captain who won
the match against Australia in Australia after 12 years and handed over the
charge to predecessor Azhar Ali for 4th ODI at Sydney which was lost
by Pakistan team with huge margin of 86 runs.
