With due respect - please start doing something constructive now!

More tough oppositions in queue for Pakistan. Now after the conclusion of Asia Cup, the next destination Pakistan would be playing their home games would be England where they'll be conclude Test match series of which the ODI series was played in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in 2009. On the other hand, they'll also be competing against the English in their own conditions with victories against South Africa, Bangladesh and now Australia under their belts already, so it'd be tough competing against them, with current form the Pakistani team is playing, like not finishing on the advantage they're getting (read the match against the Sri Lankans, where Afridi almost took the match away from Lankans by bringing the required run rate under 6 per over but still loosing the match from that position, no comments for the India match as it was an edge of the seat match and it was won on the last ball of the match).

As I was saying playing in England in their own backyard this time of the year wont be an easy task for Pakistan, keeping in mind this current Pakistani team is without the services of Two Y's of Pakistani middle order, i.e. Mohammad Yousuf and Younus Khan, and because no experience is selected, other than Afridi and Shoaib Malik, it would be easy for the English to capitalize on Pakistan on their own weaknesses.

The flaw is from our side, with reference to my previous articles which clearly mentioned that Pakistan didn't work out for talent hunts and under my personal calculations, the performance difference between current Pakistani national side and Pakistan A team is stretched upto 4-5 years atleast, and that's where we're lagging as we've to rely again and again on the ones who're already used whose utility is almost at the end, don't want to mention such player's names but they've spent their times and now the time has come to start the search for newer players.

Take example of India, they won the 2010 Asia Cup without the services of their premier batsmen i.e. Yuvraj Singh, Sachin Tendulkar and partially Virender Sehwag (as he was hurt in between the Asia Cup 2010), just because their backbenches are filled with their talents, are we preparing for the same? Is our backbench is ready? Are we doing anything significant for hunting the raw talent around us? Doing cosmetic things like summer camps etc, won't give us anything, it requires long term planning, which we're afraid of!

We just want spectacular results in short span of time, like the Wasims, Waqars, Saeed Anwars, Aamir Sohails etc, which were exceptional talents, but not everyone is that lucky to have god gifted talents! So start long term planning instead of wobbling for other things.
