No Performers, Just Favorites

The fact that the Pakistani cricket team hasn't won a test match in the last 4 years is not that shocking. In the Pakistan cricket team there always have been favorites instead of people who cannot perform. For example, Misbah Ul Haq. His performance in the game has failed to impress anyone for the last 2 years and yet he was included in the test team against Australia. Same goes for Kamran akmal; the wicketkeeper who drops more catches than the fielders. Although some fresh blood has been introduced to the team over the past year who made quite an impact [Mohammad Aamir, and Umar Akmal,] but it's the senior players that always seem to find a way to mess up. Make it Salman Butt, Muhammad Yousaf, Kamran Akmal, or even Faisal Iqbal. We need more people like Umar Gul, who do what they have to do on the field and not come to the press room with a big mouth. Also Muhammad Yousaf should stop trying to put the blame on other people and bring the team together in terms of performance. That way he'll be atleast half the captain Younus was. It's very unfortunate to say that the failure of the Pakistani cricket team is caused by no one but themselves.
