"It won't be a disaster even if we exit before the Super Eights," said Younis Khan, the Pakistan skipper. "It would be sad if we don't make it, but I have never attached too much importance to Twenty20 cricket, as it is fun cricket. I mean it is more for entertainment, even if it is international cricket. It is all for the crowd. Twenty20 is all about fun. Everybody expects players to come out and entertain." Can you believe him??? 
Is that the attitude of the Pakistanis??? No wonder they are dropping catches and giving easy runs to the opposition. When the captain says something like that, you know something is wrong.
I just wonder if Younis Khan is a Pakistani or an Englishman. With this kind of attitude, why even turn out for the next match. They can instead pack their bags and head back to Pakistan like in 2007. Younis is preparing his players for an almighty fall tomorrow. Pakistan now have to beat Netherlands by at least 25 runs, which will be no easy task. Or better yet, they can choose not to show up for the match.
I thought that teams would become serious after seeing England lose to the Dutch. But sadly that is not the case.
I feel for the Pakistan team and their captain. Such a casual approach to such a major tournament just underlines the state of cricket in Pakistan.
I can only say, "good luck Pakistan, and please don't turn up for the match against the Dutch."

Could that be some kind of reverse psychology trick YK is trying on his team to get them motivated ;-)
Surprising this, coming from a team that was so looking forward to a good tournament to bring some relief back home...
anyhow I feel they haven't been able to do well in any international series or tournament after the 2007 T20 Wc...
well There is a lot of tension in their country..abt the game..hmmm
:(

@ Megha,
Reverse Psychology???? Wow...that's quite a theory.....I still don't see how it will get the team motivated....
I know...Pak is in turmoils and I hoped cricket will unify them...but that is sadly not the case.......To think that they were favorites...
