Wasim bhai, Shoiab everyone was pissing on management and players when they lost the first 2 games.
Granted, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Malik and Misbah-ul-Haq were part of a television show reviewing the T20 World Cup. There were pre match and post match analysis of the T20 World Cup and you could hear criticism from them if the national team plays badly. The same happens everywhere if the former players are part of a television show reviewing the match and they will not hold back on the criticism and how many times we have seen that  Cheesy.

Shoaib Akhtar has a youtube channel and he always come up with controversial topics, he just wants clicks and viewers in his channel  Cheesy. Even Inzamam ul Haq has a youtube channel but he is not posting controversial topics and hence he wont be getting views like Akhtar Cheesy.

My question is what Rameez had to do with the poor performance during the initial two matches? When the Pakistani team performed well during the New Zealand tri-series, the credit went to the players and not to the management. When that is the case, the poor performance during the initial stages of the world cup should also be attributed to the players. Managing the PCB is not an easy task, but Rameez has done a wonderful job so far. So I am in favor of letting him continue with the job, without much harassment.

I am also kinda agree with you because Pakistan also gave good performance in the series they are not only depending on luck. But unfortunately Pakistan has the weakness of Batmens because I saw they are constantly depending on babar azam and rizwan for batting and when they can't perform well Pakistan lost that match. I they should immediately change the batting lineup Otherwise this will happen again and again with them.
Pakistan have big dependence over Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. However the bowling strength keeps them at good position. Even after scoring 137 runs they gave good fightback and took the match till the 19th over. Compared to the initial matches now there is performance coming from Masood which is really good for Pakistan. As suggested, opening change or someone needs to be prepared for the position when this combination isn't able to give success.

It's not former players or Rambo's problem but the Pakistani cricket system.
It gets very ugly there, almost everyone (former player, commentators, sports anchor, PCB's Chief) shitposts and makes cringe statements when the thing gets tough or see any kind of success.
I can understand when former players etc make any ridiculous comments about the team or anyone for that matter but as a cricket board chief, you should have some grace as you're holding a top seat. You don't hear or see such kind of behavior from other cricket board presidents.
Can't agree with you here. Akmal and some of the other ex-players reportedly made personal attacks against Rameez. The team reached finals in the world cup, and rather than celebrating it they are showering verbal abuse on the administrators. If it was someone like Wasim Akram or Shoiab Akhtar, then I would have still listened. But Kamran Akmal? What he has so far achieved in his career so far? Test batting average of 30.79 and 26.09 in ODI. Rameez maybe a bit strict here, but people like Kamran understand this language only.
You should listen to what Rambo has to say about the previous chiefs when he was not in the system. He as an expert ripped everyone apart (including opposition teams, calling em names etc), when the PCB hosted teams like Zim, WI,SL, BAN. Likes of Najam Sethi, Ehsan Mani didn't send him any legal notice for that.
I know that Pakistan did reach the finals. But no one can deny that they got a bit lucky. Because first of all, they shouldn’t have lost against Zimbabwe. Secondly, they got a chance when the Netherlands beat South Africa. Because that really shouldn’t have happened. So everything was hanging on a chance for Pakistan. And Pakistan themselves had to rely on two or three of the players to do all the work. Whenever Babar Azam, Rizwan, or Shaheen Shah Afridi failed to perform, Pakistan was in a lot of trouble.
Pakistan has come out of all the hurdles before playing the final match maybe only because of luck. Loss to Zimbabwe and South Africa's loss to Ireland once again gave Pakistan a dream. Maybe they wouldn't have got this benefit if the luck wasn't good. But in the end luck did not work in their favor on the field of play. Rizwan out from the inside edge, why Babar Azam play the ball that way. Where top order batsman are the hope of Pakistan. Here is a lesson taught by whatever fate does. In the field you have to win by playing the best not only for luck.
Pakistan are quite lucky in this world it's right because the luck safe Pakistan during Netherlands vs southAfrica match but you can't ignore this truth that Pakistan won the consecutive 4 crutial matches to reach to the final , they beat strong team like SouthAfrica who beat India alredy and Pakistan also beat Netherlands who beat south Africa and the another strong team like Bangladesh who has equal point with Pakistan, Pak beat all of them,
So the main point is that without the strong performance only luck can't put Pakistan into final.

Another thing that should be kept in mind is that a positive reaction and constructive criticism are always going to be able to help the players more than just talking shit about them. They are also ex-players and they should know that.

In this world cup almost all the news channels invited some former cricketers for discussion and analysis on cricket and players and some of those players are not even good in cricket during their time (like kamran Akmal)  but that doesn't mean If they'll say something that should be given an ear .all type of people are there in all fields some are decent and graceful like Wasim Arram, waqar yunus,sohaib malik and Misbah ul Haq ,that show was very decent and informative and a true cricket discussion show ,they talked about everything management, selection committee, matches players but with decency and proper language.
Unfortunately all the players are not like them ,some people can't handle fame gracefully.

I believe that Pakistan is progressing well, and it’s only a matter of time before they find those 1 - 2 player’s that can make them the strongest team in T20 format. Furthermore as we discuss about Pakistan’s cricket it’s pertinent to note that PCB has started issuing legal notice’s to former player’s who have said harsh stuff about PCB or the team, so what do you’ll think about this move by PCB.

Yes you are right with post and position there comes a quota of criticism and negative remarks that you have to listen and tolerate.  This is not some professional behaviour to send legal notices to former players,  this is part of every society that you have to deal with humor ,negativity and criticism because that's their point of view and that have all the freedom to express their point .

Why can't these guys just focus on the game? I have massive respect for Rameez Raja. He completely changed cricket setup in Pakistan ever since he took over as the PCB chairman. Obviously there are some jealous people who suffer from sour grapes complex, and they have made very disparaging statements about Rameez. Anyway, now Kamran Akmal need to reply to the legal notice. And this may get bigger. From what I have heard, Rameez is planning to send legal notices to a few other ex-players, who made defamatory remarks against him. BTW, was Kamran Akmal a part of a world cup winning squad at least once?
PCB first motive should be to work on the improvement of their players overall and their health and diet conditions,  recently all of us know Shaheen Shah Afridi suffered a knee injury and according to sources he covered his all medical expenses himself along with his treatment procedure in London which was somehow responsibility of PCB to own its players as they are people who bring pride and medals for you from all over the world.

I agree that form is not always appear. A player can play very well but he will lose form at some point and regain that form again. But I have no complaints about the form in the case of Pakistan. What I would say is that their top order is good but neither middle nor lower is reliable. We saw in the Asia Cup how they lost to Sri Lanka in the final. Again they did the same with Zimbabwe in the World Cup. Without any doubt i can say that they have weaknesses in this point. They can fight against hard team and also lose unexpectedly against weak team as well.

What they need is some good pace bowling all rounders in the middle order. Two decades back they had players such as Azhar Mahmood and Abdul Razzaq. But ever since the retirement of these players, they have been dependent on spin-bowling allrounders such as Shoaib Malik and Mohammed Hafeez. Some of the pacers, such as Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf can bat a bit, but they can't be considered as all rounders. This is one component where Pakistan have been lagging. They need someone like Cameroon Green of Australia.
For the T20 format, they must reshuffle the team. All-rounders are always very important for a T20 squad. Without having good all-rounders, the middle order can collapse or the team can reached it's desire postilion. Once a time i liked Shahid Afridi as a Pakistani all-rounder. If there was one more all-rounder like him with the current team of Pakistan then maybe Pakistan cricket would have been able to build a better position.

Yeah, Pakistan really benefited from South Africa's defeat against the Netherlands. Each of the other teams has done well to reach the semi-finals. The Pakistani team was lucky enough to reach the semi-finals but gradually improved as the tournament progressed. Due to their middle order weakness, everything was shattered.

Actually their middle order and lower order was performing well in the initial phases. Back then the main issue was that both the openers (Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam) were scoring too few runs, and that too at a very slow pace. And then the injury to Shaheen Shah Afridi removed the venom from their pace attack. On top of that, the spinners were struggling in Australian pitches. And then Babar regained his form when it mattered the most. But the team balance was not there. One or the other component was always performing poorly. England on the other hand had good team balance.
Pakistan has been playing extremely good cricket before world cup ,recently Pakistan won triseries against Newzealand and Bangladesh and before that Pakistan won in T20 series against England  and before that Pakistan was the runner up in Asia Cup (Sirlanka won) . So no one can say that Pakistan is a weak team and its batsman are not performing, yes there comes a time in all cricketers life in which they perform badly or you can say out of form so that is their time now. They'll regain their strength and come back stronger.

Yeah, Pakistan really benefited from South Africa's defeat against the Netherlands. Each of the other teams has done well to reach the semi-finals. The Pakistani team was lucky enough to reach the semi-finals but gradually improved as the tournament progressed. Due to their middle order weakness, everything was shattered.

Actually their middle order and lower order was performing well in the initial phases. Back then the main issue was that both the openers (Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam) were scoring too few runs, and that too at a very slow pace. And then the injury to Shaheen Shah Afridi removed the venom from their pace attack. On top of that, the spinners were struggling in Australian pitches. And then Babar regained his form when it mattered the most. But the team balance was not there. One or the other component was always performing poorly. England on the other hand had good team balance.
