Shahid Afridi was on a roll today

It would have been easy for the South Africans to curtail their tour and disappoint Pakistan cricket fans

It was disappointing to hear Shoaib Malik insist on the righteousness of his spin strategy

Thrilling strokeplay and enthralling running

I, for one, am disappointed with Afridi

An incredible year for Pakistan for all the wrong reasons has ended with an incredible tournament for all the right ones

Misbah the unfancied has become Misbah the unflappable, and in a madcap batting order a touch of unflappability is exactly what is required

In their rush to ape soccer's big tournaments, cricket's administrators have missed one point: there are no penalty shoot-outs in group stages, and they only take place in knock-out matches to ensure a winner and avoid a replay

Australia and England might now play the second most important match in international cricket but they do so with a friendly rivalry that the maturing rivalry of India and Pakistan must learn from and aspire to emulate

Pakistan fans will be hoping that these miserable last twelve months, beginning with Inzamam's striking revolt and ending with Shoaib Akhtar's revolting strike, will give way to some cricket to cheer even though it might not end in a ICC World

I am looking forward to this World Cup

Players have the right to play in the league they find most attractive without ruling themselves out of international selection

The best cricketers can perform in any version of the game and Yousuf is a top international batsman

A year ago contemplating a Pakistan Twenty20 team without Razzaq would have been beyond reason.

Now, by all accounts, Geoff "Henry" Lawson, has been chosen to wear the crown of thorns

For Saqlain was once a spinner who held the world in his mesmeric grip
