We need PAKISTAN - ketchim - 10-10-2015
Pakistan , Zindabad !
I[size=12pt]n England, you are first taught the virtues of a forward-defensive stroke and of line and length.
In Pakistan, both are a byplay to the ability to use the wrists and manoeuvre the ball into gaps,
and to using the fingers and wrist to make the ball talk [/size] 8)

The 1970s, '80s and '90s were a glorious era for Pakistan cricket.
Pakistan gave the world Javed Miandad, perhaps the most marvellous improviser of them all.
In form, Javed took the mickey out of all but the very best.
And like so many on the subcontinent he was a ferocious competitor.

Nicely presented : Mark Nicholas is the former Hampshire captain
For Pakistan, winning is paramount.
There is a nation to inspire, albeit not from home turf.

Mark Nicholas is my favourite cricket writer. He is, as always, extremely eloquent and insightful. Cricket is a much better game with Pakistan involved and playing at home. Just as the game is richer with a competitive West Indies team.
I am looking forward to the upcoming series with Pakistan. I'd be thrilled with a draw. In reality, I expect Pakistan to win 2-0. As Mark mentioned in his article, Pakistan have a long history of developing some of the games greatest (and most entertaining players), I really hope that cricket can return to Pakistan in the near future so that we can continue to see an influx of these superstars.

Well I think we need a Pakistan that is not so corrupt and plays the game fairly! Afterall they are the ones who made the WI missed the chance to qualify for a tournament because they pulled out of the series.
