You can hear it on cricinfo.com.
He said that Yousuf has become a statsguru & was playing for his records. He said Pakistan loses whenever he scores runs.
He praised Sachin a lot for his aggressive batting.
I am very surprised with this bcz i was expecting Pakistani cricket experts to praise Yousuf bcz he was the only guy who atleast scored runs but Mr.Ramiz has absolutely made a mockery of his inning.
I am of the opinion that Pakistan is playing a bit too slowly in the middle overs. They are losing every match in these crucial middle overs.
See they start with a good run-rate & then after 15 overs they just stop scoring quickly.
They have been playing poorly between over # 15 & 40.
I think they have the players to win matches but their strategy isn't impressive & they need to change this mind set as early as possible otherwise 4-1 defeat is waiting for them.
Malik decided to bat first & he himself was playing at strike rate of 50.
I mean this is absolutely senseless.
Cheers

Please don't watch the cricket with just a journal look!! Ramiz is quite right in his saying. From the day ,Yosuf has got the world record, he has become more keen for his records rather than the team victory. No doubt, Yousuf is an only world class batsman in our team yet his class is just helping his individual performance. He should pay more attention to the team's victory rather than his own records. We desperatley need a guy like Inzi. Who performed at the crucial times and gave Pakistan many big victories. Sachin, who was known to be play for just his record and as he is yet he has proved him better than Yousuf because his knock helped his team victory. But Yousuf's two knocks could not bring happiness on the face of Pakistan nation!!! Hope you would agree with me!! Sorry to Yousuf fans... But reality should always be accepted

Pak experts should give Mohd. Yousuf a break . Experts like Rameez Raja and Aamir Sohail have been going on and on as to how he bats for personal goals and bats to slowly. His strike rate yesterday was the same as Tendulkar's and its not his fault that pak lost. Others ought to have taken up more responsibility. He plays his role to the T and its only that people above and below him in the order except for Younis Khan are not settled and not given clear goals. Shoaib Malik must be given some time for him to come good. And he must look at other opening options like Yasir Hameed. That guy tormented Indians the last time and its unbelievable that he can't find a place in the side.

Rameez Raja from day 1 of this series is cheering on for India and bad mouthing Pakistan. Some of his criticism is justified but one has to question his personality. He is just like many other 'mediocre' Pakistani players of the past who think that even after not playing cricket for a decade, they know everything.
I sincerely hopes he drops his Pakistani nationality and takes up Indian nationality.

It is a known fact that Mohd. yusuf and to some extent Younis Khan are not sloggers and stylish playuers. their style of play is more suited for test cricket and not for ODI. You cannot expect a class and stylish batsman to change his batting and go for big hitting right from the word go. The job of batsman at no. 3 and 4 is to consolidate the innings and give an opportunity for the later order batsman for hard hitting and score some fast runs. Pakistan have 2 players who can hit the ball, hard and score quick runs in the form of Afridi and Tanvir. Unfortunately they are not consistent as com[pared to yuvaraj,and dhoni in the Indian batting line up which results in Pakistan scoring fewer runs. It is not at all fair to blame Yusuf for the same. to some extent, credit should also be given to
Indian bowlers for keeping the Pakistan batsmen quiet in the middle overs and not giving them too much freedom to score freely.

Md Yousuf is what is Rahul Dravid for India.Yousuf is only doing the role of a sheet anchor.He cannot be expected to keep one end up and also to score quickly.After all he is having a scoring rate of above 90%.
They are in fact yet to find a settled batting order except younis and yousuf.The form of Malik,Akmal,Afridi is the real reason for their slowness.

Giving comments from box is very easy. It is very sad a person like Ramiz Raja has given such types of comments who happens to be a player of Pakistan. He is a fool

I think Pakistan is paid to loose, it all seems to be manipulated now. The intensity of the India-Pak games have all vanished. It does not matter whether we watch the game or not. We know India is going to emerge winners 90% of the time.
