I'll have to admit that!

Pakistani team being the potential to be unpredictable at times and tend to do anything unexpected this time like many analysts say that Pakistan team will go not more than the semi final stage. Pakistani nation is too generous for praying but this time it isn't the case!

To be honest and realistic, they don't stand a chance to be at the winning post like they did last year, inductance of several new players (drastic inductance instead of gradual inductance and it may harm their cricket career), heavily dependence on Afridi and Razzaq in the middle order, Umar Akmal not in the form he was in when he was inducted to the Pakistani National Team, absence of players like Umar Gul, Shoaib Malik and Younus Khan, especially Younus Khan who tend to take the team with him, all of his innings affirm this fact, and now 11 months after that tournament in England, these main spearheads are faded by several reasons. Bowling no doubt would be under pressure and because our bowling would be under pressure would generate pressure on our batting as well because its not the strongest of the units like India have.

One might say I am being sarcastic, but I feel this is the reality we should accept. Its not because Pakistan lost to Zimbabwe in the warm ups, mind you...
