Mohamamd Asif, another Qasim Omar in Pakistani Cricket?

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

There was no electricity for past 12 hrs so had no idea unless my friend smsed me about arrest of Pakistani bowler Muhammad Asif for carrying opimium. I just laughed at this “story” and it reminded me the case made up by “hero” Imran Khan against Qasim Omar and screwed up his career. Qasim was a stylist batsman later it was proved wrong.

I just checked fellow bloggers how they are foolishly blaming Asif. I personally believe him innocent and seems a made up case against him. Seems same forces who are against Shoaib and were active in the era of Imran.


Shoaib,Again

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Amazing come back by Shoaib. From History. There is something which does drive crazy cricket lovers crazy.


To Shoaib or not to Shoaib

Shoaib Akhter banned for 5 years!

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

PCB Nasim Ashraf followed the foot steps of his mentor, Gen.(retard) Pervez Musharraf and banned Shoaib Akhter for 5 long years, the tenure which is required for a Pakistni assembly to function properly. The reason is violation of players code of conduct. From CricInfo:

“The board has lost confidence in Shoaib Akhtar and therefore felt his presence in the field was damaging to the Pakistan team, for Pakistan players and for the image of Pakistan cricket,” the PCB chairman, Nasim Ashraf, told AFP. “The committee has recommended a five-year ban for Shoaib Akhtar. He will be ineligible to play in Pakistan or to play for Pakistan anywhere else in the world. [It is] a sad day for me and for Shoaib Akhtar. He is such a talented player.”

This is utterly cruel and I don’t support it! 5 years is a long time. It’s beyond the limits of punishment one player can get. So many corrupt players like Wasim,Ejaz, Ramiz etc were found guilty on various cases but never been punished. Nasim Ashraf has done same thing with Shoaib which Musharraf did with Qader Khan. No I am not comparing Khan and Akhter as there is no comparison. The point is that we live in a state where actual corrupt person is never caught and only those are targeted who are unable to defend themselves. I never supported his “extra” activities but it doesn’t mean I support something which is unfair.

Imran Khan on other hand has called for suspension of Ashraf. Hanif Abbasi, Member of NA has said that he would discuss this issue in Parliment.


Gilchrist retires

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

 

Australian wicket keeper and one of my favorite batsman Adam Gilchrist decided to quit the game of Cricket. From telegraph

I have come to this decision after much thought and discussion with those important to me.”

Gilchrist recently made the world record of 414th dismissal. He played 96 test matches and made 5,556 runs. Watching Gilchrist’s batting was always a wonderful experience for me. Below is the video of his performance in which he made 2nd fastest test century:

The way he used to face Akram was outstanding. Wasim Akram also admitted in an interview that Gilchrist was one of very very few batsmen who faced him easly. In the end, a classic moment when Gilchrist faced Akram in worldcup 99 match.

Surely Gilly will be missed. He gave a new name to wicket keeping. Good luck dude!

Cricket:Australia gang raped India,India cry

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

Australia seriously made India hurt after finishing their 2nd innings in just 2/3 hours and equalized the record of Steve Waugh of 16 consecutive win in 2nd MCG match. The situation made Indian Spinner Harbajan quite frustrated and he passed racist remarks and called Andrew Symonds a monkey. Frankly I don’t understand why he equated a monkey which is a sacred animal in India with Symonds. I don’t understand why Australia whine much while they are also expert in passing racial remarks.

The heavy defeat than ban on Harbajan(which is removed by now) made India upset and as usual they started burning effigies of Australian Captain and umpires.

When they stole their happy moments

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

Pakistan defeat India in 2ODI by four wickets and gave a perfect Dewali gift to Indians. Pakistanis also took revenge of T20 Final when Indians defeated Pakistan on occasion of Eid. Watch the highlights of thst sensational match. I love the way whole Indian crowd become dead at the end of 2nd last over.


Malik’s Controvery: What’s wrong with Indians?

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

It seems it has become a national habit of Indians to create a fuss out of anything which is associated with Pakistan and they try their level best to defame Pakistan by every means yet they say , we accept Pakistan from the bottom of heart, whether its Feroz Khan, Indian Parliment case,offending Pakistani director and now Shoaib’s statement after final of T20 between India and Pakistan. What Pakistani captain said was something like:

I want to thank you back home Pakistan and where the Muslim lives all over the world

Everyone specially in so called secular India got pissed when Malik assumed that Pakistan means Muslims of world. Offcourse Malik made a mistake but not intentional specially when level of English skills of Malik and former captains is not a hidden secret. The other important thing is that Pakistan won its 1st world cup in 1992 and that was month of Ramadan. Pakistani team was again playing finals in month of Ramadan which is a holy month for Muslims. Beside that, Indian muslims have always been blamed to support Pakistani due to religion factor and in past so many times Muslims suffered due to same reasons. Keeping in mind all such things, if one makes such stupid statement then it doesn’t look good from the nation who just won a cup. Instead of showing glory and enjoying moments, Indians got another excuse to defame Pakistan. First time I heard voices agianst Malik’s statment on a Pakistani left-wing website where few Pakistani minorities(as they claimed) and then Indians started making issue of it. Indian media started bullshiting like they did in past, giving the impression of so called secularism in India. The most lame and ignorant article was written by Amit Bhatta Charya of Times of India. He writes.

When Shoaib Malik was appointed captain, many watchers of Pakistan cricket had hoped that the show of faith would end. In fact, the overt display of faith has since stopped, but Malik’s stray remark indicates that religion continues to plays a role in the team.

What a MORON! The ignorant is just saying that Indian team is a faithless team(read secular). What’s he talking about? I can see Srishant making cross on chest after every wicket, Bhajji(HarbaJan Singh). Dravid and Tendulkar used to look towards sky and pray God about success and thanking Him.

When Ireland defeated us on St.Patrick’s Day, their captain associated the victory with their catholic religion. Nobody made a fuss about it in world that Irish didn’t take care of their minority because the religion that time was not Islam. if Pakistan had played the match on 25th December and had thanked Christians around the world then nobody was going to whine about it.

an Indian blogger who made a comment on one of my old post, says:

I fully understand that Islamic sentiments are thoroughly stuffed in their mindsets but heyy.. be careful dude !! Not all the Muslims ! Don’t ever say that. The Indian team had two Muslims playing for the country and they were just as happy as any other Indian Muslim all over the world at India’s victory. Don’t ever think all the Muslims in the world are supporting you.

Ms.Cuckoo was obviously referring the Pathan Brothers who played a major role in India victory but look what happened to those MUSLIM Indians. CricketNext says:

Narendra Modi ignores Pathan brothers:

New Delhi: It is raining money on Indian players for their glorious ICC Twenty20 World Championship triumph in South Africa.

But the two Pathan brothers - Yusu and Irfan - who brought glory to the country have been ignored by their home state Gujarat.

While every other state has announced rewards for their cricketers, Gujarat has not announced any award for the duo.

and Cuckoo is worried about Kenria. what would you say now? Worried about Keneria or about pathan brothers. Keneria didn’t even play the match while pathan brothers helped you Indians to won the match, yet not being taken care by your government? Shame on your secular government!!

This is not the first time Indian Muslims were treated like that. Recently Indian star Amitabh’s son got married. Amitabh who is a hardcore Hindu didn’t invite any famous Muslim actor whether it was Dilip Kumar(Yousuf Khan),Shahrukh,Aamir Saif Ali Khan, Feroz Khan’s family(yeah same Feroz who sang praises of India in Pakistan *grin*) because all of them were Maleech?. This is how Muslims re named by Hindus. Muslims like Dilip Kumar are forced to change their name for sake of earning success in India, so even selling their identity don’t give them much respect and I feel pitty for such filthy secular status in India.

I showed the news about Pathan brothers to my good friend KUmar and he asked me to ignore it While kumar doesn’t understand that people like me do want to ignore things which have been happening for last 60 years but when I see such instances from across the border then I get confused whether I should trust in words like ,Pakistanis are our friends, we accept Pakistan as a state, Indians and Pakistanis are brothers. Right now, there is not an excuse of politicians. People like Cuckoo are not politicians who are ordinary Indians and they minds have been polluted as well. I don’t like to discuss issues like Kashmir,India-Pak relationship or secterian stuff like Sunni/Shia on my blog because it just creates nedless heat on both side but when I see an organized propaganda for no reason and without taking care of filth on their own side, I am forced to lash out and expose the reality which those people don’t discuss.

As it’s said, preaching starts from Home, Instead of asking Pakistanis to be friends with you, be nice with you, convince some polluted minds in your own country and make then convince about what you ask us to believe. You guys have won the cup , enjoy the moments rather messing up things. You guys claim to be biggest democracy and economy in world, we also believe in that so please try to be big hearts rather big retards.

Update: One thing which I forgot to mention that people who criticized most were Indian Muslims in majority rather non-Muslims Indians. They on different forum reacted as their religion,their Musalmaniat was put at stake by Malik’s statement.  I wonder where were their Musalmaniat  when they were abused  by majority of India. I can sense because they would blame us for these riots however we shouldn’t be blamed for things they face in their country. It’s not Pakistani Muslims’ fault if Indian muslims have to get agreed on compromises like inter-religion marriages, changing their identities to get jobs, Meena Kumari and Dilip are examples of such thing, cursing Pakistan etc etc but call spade a spade. We didn’t force any Muslim to stay in India. Many of my relatives are in Delhi,Kanpur and Merruth. My dad is a Kaanpuriya. They stayed in India while my grandpa and dad and his brother migrated. Neither we say to our relatives they r fools that stay in India nor they say we made mistake that migrated to Pakistan. Fact of the matter is that muslims suffer on both side of border. If followers of  Kalam says that Pakistan was a mistake so it’s also said that Muslims in India sacrificied a lot to lead life.

T20: So,will history repeat itself?

Monday, September 24th, 2007

Same question but in different context.

Pakistan has maintained its track record of losing matches against India in Worldcup tournaments. Even in current T20 matches, Pakistan was defeated by India. So is Pakistan going to repeat history against India like they repeated against Kiwis in Semifinal? Let’s see! :-)


T20 Semifinal: Will history repeat itself?

Friday, September 21st, 2007

So Pakistan is going to play another Semi final against Kiwis. It was the month of Ramadan when Pakistan played Worldcup 92 Semifinal against Kiwis. It’s again a month of Ramadan and same teams will battle with each other again. I know that 15 years back Pakistanis were so excited and everyone was busy to pray for Pakistanis. I am not sure about what Pakistanis are thinking about tomorrow’s Semi. Regardless of what are they thinking, I can just hope Pakistan will repeat same performance which they did in 1992 when champs like Inzy,Moin and Miandad saved us and helped to reach in finals. Lets hope for the best!
