Former Pakistani skipper, Waqar Younis, has hailed the national side’s phenomenal show in the ongoing ODI series against Sri Lanka at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE).
Despite a plethora of controversies, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972 and company performed magnificently in the fourth One-Dayer at Sharjah, and took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-game competition.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482, whose heavy conflict with Waqar remained in the headlines recently, emerged as Pakistan’s hero, as he claimed a five-wicket haul after smashing a wonderful knock of 75 runs in the crucial contest.
The Cornered Tigers have been producing superb results over the last 12 months, and following Pakistan’s excellent recital, Waqar is convinced the side will soon secure a place among the top two teams on the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 ODI rankings.
"The present team has done very well amid all the controversies. It has the potential to be ranked among the top two teams in the coming months. Our cricket has suffered a lot due to all the controversies, but I am very happy with the way Pakistan have performed
on the field during the tough time," Waqar told the Express Tribune.
Without a shadow of doubt, Waqar is an architect of Pakistan’s strong present setup. During his stint as the head-coach, the Men in Green made considerable improvements in all departments of the sport, and reached the semi-final clash of the ICC World Cup
2011.
Despite the turmoil of Spot-fixing scandal, the crew has developed into a dangerous side, and the ex-coach gave full credit to Misbah for the team’s recent success.
"I must give a big share of the credit to Misbah, who has marshalled the team well in both ODIs and Tests. All the other players have also supported him well, contributing to the team's progress," added the former seamer who has 416 ODI wickets to his credit
- Pakistan’s second highest wicket-taker in 50-over cricket after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wasim-Akram-c96292 (502).
Misbah took over the team’s charge in all forms of the game after Afridi’s sudden retirement from International cricket. Although, the blazing all-rounder is back in the troop, the side looks like a well gelled unit, and is showing outstanding work under
Misbah’s command.
