I said I’d quit if we won - Younis
Younis Khan has said that he had decided even before the World Cup started that he would retire from Twenty20 format if Pakistan won the tournament
‘T20 a fun game’ statement helped ease pressure off players

it was nice to see Pakistan Cricket Team giving their country men something to cheer about. Pakistanis really needed it. It shows that after all the pain and all that is lost we haven’t given up and we never will… wounds are ways to reveal us… the world saw what the color green actually looks and feels like..

Pakistan has a lot of skills in cricket, what they need to use these cricket skills properly, Pakistan cricket board can play the main role in using the skills. They bring lot of players but after few months those players can’t perform anymore, Pakistan should work in this kind of problem. What Pakistan cricket needs is to have a democratic cricket board. Crickit board shouldn’t run by any army person.

Yes Pakistan proved they still matter otherwise not very long ago people were writing that Pakistan is mis match against Australia when they were playing in Dubai. Christian Ryan especially wrote “The main non-event”. Some others were were writing that India vs Australia is much more competitive than India vs Pakistan. Now I wish I could ask all those “EXPERTS” which is the better team?

Where does Pakistan go from here? Weii Pakistan have played hard cricket and PCB officials did say that they need to attract other cricket nations to come to Pakistan and play cricket. They have definately sent a very strong message to the world by winning the T20 World Cup, and hopefully they are perhaps now one of the teams to beat. Pakistan should also look to work closely with ECB, i feel with someone like the ECB they will benefit hugely and i feel that to resume International cricket they need the support of some other International cricket board As far as talent is concerned then i see that there is not much of a problem, but the only problem lies in that there is not much cricket to play if any at all. Therefore it is vital to get cricket played, ideally you would want some home games, but now the team has got this composure, it will definately help. So keep on with the good work and be positive and PAKISTAN ZINDABAD and always will be Dil Dil Pakistan

“tournaments like the IPL and the Champions League are going to be far more important than the traditional Test series.” ???? wtf! i guess you could take that view??? i would think pakistan would want the form and team unity that won them the T20 cup to continue onto the 50 over and test match forms of the game. the champions league is just the IPL finalists playing other domestic teams from around the world that dont even draw 2000 fans through the gate when playing at home. dont just solely focus on twenty20 pakistan just because that is what your good at, aim to be as good in the other forms aswell!
