Pakistan missing key players can reach cricket World cup 2011 quarter finals

Question

Pakistan cricket team would be playing the cricket world cup 2011 in absence of its three key players.Would the absence of these potential players from Pakistan cricket team effect team's chances of entering cricket World cup 2011 quarter finals.

Answer 1

The most unpredictable team in cricketing history. If they play to their true potential, they are certainly world beaters but the infighting, spot fixing scandal, absence of Amir and Asif are going to be a serious blow in their preparation to the world cup. In the absence of the Amir and Asif, Umar Gul and Shoiab Akthar should lead the attack. But apart from these two, I don’t see any bowler giving good support to. Batting on paper looks strong with the likes of Younis Khan, Yousuf, Afridi, Umar Akmal but it all depends on the mood of the dressing room given the controversies surrounding the team. It is sad that the country which produced one of the greatest fast bowlers and all rounder is struggling with so many problems. Their chances of winning the cup is 3%.
