Osman Samiuddin

The old-world virtue of Younis Khan

There's something dated, and comforting, about the security he represents for Pakistan, and when he is gone they will be truly bereft

07-Aug-2014•Osman Samiuddin

There's more grey to chucking than we might think

The drive to purge the game of bowlers with suspect actions may have been suppressed a little but the moralising remains

12-Jun-2014•Osman Samiuddin

A welcome return for one who left too soon

Waqar Younis' last term as coach saw Pakistan rise in the international arena. Now he returns to take charge of a side filled with talented young batsmen but one facing a decline in fast bowling stocks

06-May-2014•Osman Samiuddin

All change in Pakistan's domestic structure. Again

Change has been the only constant in the country's first-class system. And a recent set of proposals - worthy as they sound - only serve to reinforce that

24-Apr-2014•Osman Samiuddin

Why Pakistan must change to fit Akmal

They have long mistaken his fearlessness for irresponsibility and clipped his wings. But he can't be denied for long

01-Apr-2014•Osman Samiuddin

The Shoaib Malik question

No one can give a satisfactory answer about why he's in the side and what has happened to his supposed utility. Maybe the answer has to do with his captaincy stint

24-Mar-2014•Osman Samiuddin

The power of the unremarkable

Like Asif Mujtaba before him, Fawad Alam brings to Pakistan a much-needed eye for detail and alertness to opportunity

06-Mar-2014•Osman Samiuddin

Afridi: a Pakistani sort of hero

Enlightenment and order take a walk when he delivers the rare performance that brings the country together like nothing else can

03-Mar-2014•Osman Samiuddin

Junaid Khan's slow burn

He hasn't burst onto the scene all flamboyance and wild hair, like the stereotypical Pakistani fast bowler, but his bowling has started to talk all right

08-Jan-2014•Osman Samiuddin

The ironies of Pakistan cricket's latest farrago

The PCB is at loggerheads with the courts over matters that have grown too convoluted for most people to care about

12-Nov-2013•Osman Samiuddin

What's the fuss about ball-tampering anyway?

Maybe it's time to take away the layers of morality and shrillness around it and treat it like the low-grade offence it is

29-Oct-2013•Osman Samiuddin

Irfan finds the right length

Not too many tall fast bowlers can pitch it up to good effect. Pakistan now have one, and he has the makings of a skilful customer

21-Oct-2013•Osman Samiuddin

What Hafeez's Test career tells us about failure

He has broken into the Test side three times and departed each time making the same mistakes. Has he simply reached the limit of his ability?

09-Oct-2013•Osman Samiuddin

Pakistan's first step towards governance nirvana

The PCB's plan to empower the regional associations and turn them into self-sustaining, revenue-generating units is a good one, but how feasible is it?

01-Oct-2013•Osman Samiuddin

Wanted: a players' association for Pakistan

The frequent controversies that seem to dog the country's cricketers could well have been prevented if a players' body existed

21-Jun-2011•Osman Samiuddin

The problem is Butt

He has been in charge for just under three years and Shahid Afridi's axing represents the ninth change in captaincy in his time

19-May-2011•Osman Samiuddin

It's the colour we remember, Shoaib

Over 13 years Shoaib Akhtar played too few Tests, had too many injuries, got into too much trouble but left behind indelible memories

17-Mar-2011•Osman Samiuddin

Afridi's real match-winning role

He made his name by blasting bowlers in the stands, but nowadays it's with ball in hand that Pakistan's captain makes his biggest mark

07-Mar-2011•Osman Samiuddin in Pallekele

Shoaib and Gul to the rescue

Only with Pakistan could it happen that they lose their two most exciting new fast bowlers, only for them to be replaced by Shoaib Akhtar and Umar Gul

01-Mar-2011•Osman Samiuddin

The ODI is dead, long live the ODI

There's absolutely nothing wrong with one-day cricket as the matches in the format in 2010 showed us. It's just a matter of context and giving the bowlers more power
