http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Davenell-Frederick-Whatmore-c52571 does not want Pakistan’s losses to be taken emotionally – Cricket News
Dav Whatmore, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 but thinks that there is nothing to be emotional about as winning and losing is a part
of the game.
The Green Shirts entered the tournament with high hopes but they failed to deliver the goods in the mega event, losing all three of their group matches. Pakistan’s bowling line-up performed well in the event but the batsmen failed
to live up to the expectations, which led to the team’s downfall.
The coach wants the supporters to take it easy and do not lose heart. Whatmore believes that Pakistan’s loss against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 was the most disappointing one.
Whatmore said, “Honestly, let's not be emotional about this. Games are won and games are lost and series are won and series are lost. I'd much rather be here talking to you, at least, after a win today, but that's not to be. If
you look at the three games, the one that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ian-Hunter-c1571 in my mind is the first one.”
While chasing a mediocre total in their second group match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 at Birmingham, Pakistan’s batsmen miserably failed to cope with the Proteas’ bowlers. However, Whatmore defended his batsmen and feels that the pitch
had become extremely difficult to bat on.
“We haven't been able to read this pitch here against South Africa, which can happen. It became a really difficult job to chase 230 against South Africa. It was very sluggish. These things happen, so don't get carried away too
much,” he added.
The cricket fans in Pakistan are extremely displeased at their side’s showing in the all-important tournament and chances are high that some of the senior players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-Farhat-c64218 will find it extremely tough
to retain their places in the national team.
There are many young batsmen like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ahmed-Shehzad-c42359 who are knocking at the doors of international selection. Some former cricketers also want changes to be made in the team management, taking into account
the team’s inability to perform in foreign conditions.
