Why is Salman Butt a choice for captain?
It's amusing to read news reports claiming Shoaib Malik and Salman Butt are the front runners to take over the captaincy mantle. I assume the decision, which will be taken real soon, will probably be with regards to both the test and ODI teams.
If it is truly for both squads, then its ridiculous because Salman Butt is not even in the bloody squad. On the other hand, Shoaib Malik has played less than 20 test matches. I just hope they're talking about the ODI team...
Though Butt being an option clearly proves that my opener rotation policy is in full effect at the PCB.
On the bright side, I'm glad Younis Khan is thinking about retiring from ODI's. Good riddance.
The PCB are a bunch of fools and will probably bungle this up. Anyway, at this crucial juncture in Pakistani cricket, being as its all a joke anyway, I'd like to raise my hand and officially announce my candidacy for the Pakistan team captain.
Well, if nothing else, would it be possible to scribble my name in between Imran Farhat and Taufeeq Umar when the next opener rotation round comes about?

I am too surprised by the fact that Salman Butt is a candidate. I am too surprised when I heard Darren Ganga is a candidate for captain in West Indies.
I think Shoaib MAlik is a good choice as he is young, sensitive and clam. Though 25 years he has played about 130 ODI. He is better than that younis Khan. He refused to be the captain because he doesn't even deserve to be in the team.
Shoaib MAlik is now already the captain but the real challenge is can he solve the conflicts being a young guy. Can he lead Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Akthar.

I think Malik is the best choice for a captain of the current lot.
On an unrelated note how about a petition to secure spots on team on the basis of legacy. Bazid Khan, and Faisal Iqbal should qualify on talent alone, with legacy they are shoeins. And 15 years down the road, Imran's sons will be coming of age.
Anyone but a Fundo.
