Cricket ki duniya mein uncertainty ka doosra naam Pakistan cricket hai, lekin ab uncertainty khatam ho chuki hai kyunki unka haarna ab bilkul confirm ho gaya hai. Multan se lekar Rawalpindi tak, inke ghar mein ghus kar mehman teamen aisi dhulayi kar rahi hain jaise koi local gali cricket match chal raha ho. Jab duniya ki badi teamen India ke khilaaf khelne se pehle strategy banati hain, wahan Pakistan ki team sirf ye sochti hai ki is baar beizzati ka naya record kaise banana hai.
To Hua esa hai ki:
Darasal, Pakistan vs England series ke beech mein jo circus dekhne ko mila hai, usne pure cricketing world ko hansa-hansa kar paagal kar diya hai. Pehle toh Pakistan ne 500 se zyada runs banaye aur phir bhi innings se haar gaye. Ye apne aap mein ek aisi Masterclass hai jo sirf hamare padosi hi dikha sakte hain. Iske baad PCB ne achanak neend se jaag kar apne sabse bade "Stars" yaani Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, aur Naseem Shah ko team se bahar ka rasta dikha diya. Off-the-record ise "rest" kaha ja raha hai, lekin on-the-record puri duniya jaanti hai ki ye sirf ek desperation move hai. Jab Babar Azam ki form unki team ki economy ki tarah niche girne lagi, toh PCB ke naye selectors ne socha ki shayad player badalne se kismat badal jayegi. Lekin system ka kya? Wahan toh halat waisi hi hai jaise purani cycle par Ferrari ka engine lagane ki koshish ki ja rahi ho.
Analysis & Numbers
- Babar Azam has failed to score a single half-century in his last 18 Test innings: a true Prophecy of inconsistency.
- Pakistan became the first team in the history of Test cricket to lose by an innings after scoring over 500 runs in the first innings.
- In the last 11 home Test matches, Pakistan has failed to secure a single victory: making their home ground a vacation spot for visiting teams.
- The ICC rankings for Pakistan players are sliding faster than their team's morale during a run chase.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Seedhi baat ye hai ki Pakistan cricket filhal ventilator par hai. Babar Azam ko drop karna sirf ek cosmetic surgery hai, asli bimaari toh unke mindset aur system mein hai. Jab tak ye log "Kudrat ka Nizam" ke bharose baithenge, tab tak England jaisi teamen inka mazaak banati rahengi. India ke saath competition ki baat toh chhodo, ab toh ye Afghanistan se bhi darr kar khelte hain. Hum toh bas itna hi kahenge: Beta, tumse na ho payega!
