Here is a gem from our crying and frustrated baby:
“So when did the Pakistan cricket team become a propaganda and preaching platform for the Tableeghi Jamaat? Writers like the late Khalid Hassan and Amir Mir point to the year 1999, when Wasim Akram quit as captain and was replaced by Waqar Yunus.”
Get over dude, stop writing wrong facts. Also, get the writers you are mentioning right about the particulars; i know one is already dead.Waqar Younis took over captaincy in 2001, not in 1999. Wasim Akram was replaced by Moin Khan as a captain and that was in 2000 as well, not in 1999.
Here’s another:
“However, even though the team’s 2002 World Cup jamboree in South Africa was a disaster, Mushtaq and Anwar hung around as preachers and were successful in bagging flamboyant batsman, Inzimamul Haq.”
Again, the World Cup was in 2003 not in 2002. Even a child could tell the original year, but a columnist of Pakistan’s major English language daily newspaper cannot. And, by the way, how many matched Anwar and Mushtaq played after 2003 World Cup. As far as I remember, Anwar was not seen in any role with the national team after 2003 debacle in South Africa.
The talk of religion being the reason of Pakistan’s disastrous performance on cricket field is a cliché now. It cannot be regarded as reason of dismal show on the ground. Let’s extend the argument of our howling columnist: as long as players are performing on the field, whether they go to night clubs ,bars or preach the religion, it’s their personal business, and it should not bother any person.
So Mr. Conservative Liberal, again, get over and grow up. Let the players do what they wanted to do as long as it’s not affecting their professional responsibilities. And comment on anything but cricket because you don’t know a fuck about the subject.
Although NFP makes some imporatnt ppoints every now and than, still it makes no sense for him to reapeat same point in every other column of his. He almost always seems to be critisizing Zaid Hamid and company. If Zaid Hamid is a conspiracy theorist, which i believe he very much is, so is NFP.
ReplyDeleteWHy u r ruling out that religion can be cause of defeat. I mean we just can't rule that out.
