By Sikander Hayat Rohit Sharma has scored a brilliant hundred against Australia in Melbourne in tri-nation series. He has scored 138 runs and single handedly took India out of trouble when they were three down for 50 odd runs. With Virat Kohli getting out cheaply, it fell to Rohit Sharma & Suresh Raina to cement the innings and take India to a total which can be defended. India now has a good chance in this match but still it is a 50 50 chance as they wasted last few overs and could not reach 300.

Akmal brothers have been a constant in Pakistan team for last ten years or so but apart from very rare occasion they have lead to Pakistan’s defeat rather than contributing to Pakistan’s victories. 2. Wahab Riaz should not have been selected for the world cup given the fact that he has never been a reliable bowler and his line & length on most occasions is totally off chart. 3. Umar Akmal has been a failure for so long that it is hard to imagine any other team having a player like him for this long period of time. There is a tendency in Pakistan selectors to overlook some very talented players while keep giving chances to players who look good on style but there is absolutely no substance. 4. Pakistani selectors destroyed the careers of many players but recent notables have been Asim Kamal & Fawad Alam . Selectors nearly killed off Misbah’s career as we...
