Collingwood salutes 'brave' England

LONDON: England captain Paul Collingwood praised the "brave" way the hosts kept themselves alive in the ICC World Twenty20 after a 48-run win over Pakistan here at the Oval.

The embarrassment of an early exit beckoned after a humiliating four-wicket loss to the Netherlands in Friday's tournament opener at Lord's.

But Kevin Pietersen, who missed the dramatic Dutch defeat with an Achilles injury, returned to make 58 in a total of 185 for five on Sunday before three wickets in the powerplay, with fast bowler Stuart Broad taking two in two balls, put paid to Pakistan's chase.

Indeed so convincing was England's victory that it guaranteed them a place in the second stage Super Eights regardless of the outcome of Tuesday's final Group B match between the Netherlands and Pakistan.

"That performance is what we needed," Collingwood told reporters. "We showed a lot of character.

"Friday was a massive blow to us, so it was fair to say we were under quite a lot of pressure to put in a performance like that.

"From ball one we proved how much we wanted it and had them under pressure.

"People put their hands up and all 11 can be very proud of themselves.

"They showed how brave they are as blokes. And I am now more excited than I was before the Netherlands game."

England still face a worrying time regarding Pietersen's fitness ahead of the start of the Ashes Test series in July and Collingwood said: "He ticked all the boxes and was desperate to play

"The medical staff had a good look at him and he is not going to be risked at all this summer, it's as simple as that."

Pietersen meanwhile was glad to be back on the field and the South Africa born batsman said: "It was a huge match.

"If we didn't win we were out and that is not nice.

"It was a huge evening - I was desperate to play, I've never had an injury that has kept me out which has been hard to deal with.

"I reckon I'm about 70 percent fit. Hopefully, that is the last of it now because I just love playing. I am happy to play with a bunch of boys who played like they did this evening."

Pietersen said he hoped the Dutch defeat would remain an aberration.

"That was a one off - we should never, ever have lost that game. It's not right to lose to the Netherlands."

Coach, captain going in different directions

LONDON: When the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) asked Shoaib Malik to step down as captain as replaced him with Younis Khan following a couple of heavy losses in the home series against Sri Lanka this January, one of the people who took credit for the change in the team leadership was Intikhab Alam.

The Pakistan coach had all reasons to take credit for Younis Khan’s installation as captain as he was the one who wrote a damning report against Malik and also suggested that Younis was the obvious choice for the national team’s captaincy.

Less than six months later, Intikhab might be ruing his choice.

Though everybody from the coach to captain as well as the team manager would deny it, it’s quite an open secret that Intikhab and Younis are going poles apart when it comes to matters concerning the Pakistan team.

In the past few months, Intikhab has been regularly making statements about the boys having developed a great team spirit under Younis and that there is great understanding among the players and officials of the team.

Most of that appears to be mere lip service. Normally, you will find the coach and captain of any team side by side during team training sessions, trying to work out strategies for coming games. But since arriving here in England, one has never seen Intikhab and Younis exchanging views about anything.

Probably, they discuss the strategies during team meetings that are held behind closed doors at the tournament hotel at Kensington High Street.

It doesn’t seem so. Just days before their opening match of the tournament against England here at The Oval on Sunday, the captain and coach seemed to be going in different directions on several issues.

Speaking on the issue of whether the openers should look to put on some quick runs or focus on saving their wickets in the opening overs, both Intikhab and Younis had different views.

While Intikhab believes that the top order batsmen should try to get 60 or so runs in the power-play overs, Younis is of the view that the openers should concentrate on providing a stable start adding that later batters can go for the big hits in the final overs.

Just a day before the warm-up match against India in June 3 at The Oval, Intikhab said that he is against the idea of any more experimentation. But the next day, Pakistan experimented with rookie opener Shahzab Hasan, pacer Mohammad Aamer and also promoted all-rounder Shahid Afridi up the batting order.

Pakistan lost that match by nine wickets and when asked at the post-match press conference about the “experimentation” for the game, Intikhab was evasive and didn’t give any appropriate answer.

Insiders in the Pakistan team told this correspondent that the main reason why Intikhab and Younis are lacking much-needed understanding is because they are completely different individuals.

While Intikhab is diplomatic and at times eloquent, Younis is a straight forward yet quiet man.

One source even went to the extent of saying that Younis doesn’t want Intikhab to continue as coach and wants somebody with whom he has a better rapport.

Their failure to work as a team has so far hampered Pakistan’s progress, something that was evident from their indifferent form in the practice games. Their opening match against England could be a different story but one good result won’t mean that all of Pakistan’s problems are over.
