Captain Crunch

More fallout from the world cup continued. So after they have no batsmen (ODIs) and no bowlers (ODIs) Pakistan now have no captain wannabes (see http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/pakistan/content/current/story/290277.html). I suppose Yousuf is probably ok. But no one knows. Malik might be in the long run but who is thinking about Salman Butt?

Yousuf is probably the most senior guy left. He was the vice captain for a while and even captained on occasion but then Younis was fast tracked. Were there internal reasons? He is interested in being a captain or at least was when he made the comment that he will be captain if god wants him to be captain. I don't know if he has captained in domestic cricket and if so how has it turned out. Most other guys are either too inexperienced or have other problems like retaining their spots. Their is no one who has been hailed as a really good candidate for future captain. Maybe they just have not had the chance to show their abilities in this regard. With no new batsmen on the horizon and bowlers with their problems and no clear captain Pakistan looks set to be in limbo for the next few years.

By the way what is that move that Younis is doing in the picture? Is he dancing or avoiding people?
