since the time change CAT 21:30 and CET 20:30 and the delayed matches one is usually after the live game and rest in the early hours of the morning or during the week but if you have all the DSTV channels you also get RAI international
now they mostly show the EPL, SS7 laliga, SSmaximo Portugese and SS5,6&3 french league, uefa cup, CL and Italian Cup etc

OP
Not really.There is no Asif.There is no Inzi.Has absence in particular has left a massive void in the Pakistani lineup.Shoaib Malik is a new captain,plus he's only 25.He'll take time in getting it right.Im a big fan of his regardless of the criticism he's been getting.Im sure he'd come good eventually.
OP
Nah i didnt see it.Im not sure,but i THINK Fawad Alam and the new wicketkeeper were a part of that side.Even if they werent,im sure those players will be making it into the national team at the expense of useless cricketers like Kamran Akmal,Abdul Rehman and Rao Iftikhar.
I agree with the bit about bowling.Gul has had an average series compared to the great form he's been in off late,though i dont agree with your opinion on Shoaib Akhtar.He's done very well in the series,but he's had no support from the other bowlers.Afridi is having a poor series too,and thats a real dissapointment because he's been in such awesome bowling form all year.Bowling has always been Pakistan's strong point,and its all gone wrong in this series.
Sami and Kaneria have been sent in for the Test Series to fill in for Rao Iftikhkar and Abdul Rehman.Asif wont be fit for the Test Series either apparently.Hopefully Sami and Kaneria can boost the bowling line.I dont expect Pakistan to win the Test Series though.The best i can hope for is a 1-1 draw.

OP
3-2 looks much more respectable than 4-1 though.People expected too much from Malik after the T20 finals.He was always going to struggle for a couple of series.That was always on the cards.But im pretty sure he will turn things around eventually.He's incharge for the next whole year,which includes a home series against Australia too.Im a huge fan of his(As my posts show obviously
) and im sure he'd come good.When Imran Khan rates you highly,what idiots like Javed Miandad and Rashid Latif say doesnt count.Miandad should have stuck to batting alone.Appearing on television isnt his thing.
