Who cares about Pakistan series....

After a high against Australia and supposed to be intense Test series against England next month, a Test series against Pakistan is going to be a sort of dampner. Who bothers to play a second string Pakistan side in a Test series dereft of best players who have either defected to ICL or have retired or have fallen to PCB s antics.....They dont have a pair of opening batsmen, except Younis Khan there is no other test class batsman in the side. Bowling lacks a good decent bowler.

Pakistan fans are wishing ICL gets official and their folklored stars are able to play the international cricket. Greedy bunch of cricketers who place money over country....And we dont need to travel down to a terror torn country on word of a supposed dictator of Pak cricket Imran Khan who feels Terrorists wont attack cricketers. Dude this is Indian team coming up and world knows our team has been on firing shot of this terrorists.

Even if Pakistan tours India as Alam saab and Miandad suggests, the scoreline would be 3-0....And I am sorry to say that India would then be called minnow hunters too...But then who cares. A victory over Pakistan even today sounds delicious for all those painful defeats inflicted on us in 80s and 90s in Sharjah owing to games against the spirits of cricket, maligned umpires and greedy cricketers who would sell soul for their money.....

Butt bat tracks and Imran as PCB chief!!

And now Butt eats back his own words on Lawson……..

As the PCB chairman, I am duty-bound to fully back Lawson and to take care of all his liabilities," Butt told Dawn. "What I said in the press conference was my personal opinion which I had also given to the then chairman Nasim Ashraf…..

I swear this old man is providing a super comedy strip every day. Sways like pendulmn in opinions. Is that what PCB needs ? Got to think seriously on this. Personal opinions aint meant to be said in public Sir. They got to be kept personal, as the word suggests….

Wouldn’t Imran Khan make a good PCB chief than Butt ? I mean IK has that disciplined attitude and the aura. And everybody in Pakistan except Miandad would listen to what IK would say. He has single handedly picked up many talented players for Pakistan in 70s and 80s from the bylanes and streets with no prior experience of 1^st class cricket and that hasn’t been any hurdle in shining on the international level. Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Aaqib Javed, Shoaib Mohammed (opener), Manjoor Ilahi, Salim Jaffer (the man Walsh refused to run out in 87 world cup which finally ousted them from WC) and many more such players are testimony to this….And moreover his political career is going nowhere. He should be a good man to cleanup the PCB which has been in ruts since long time…But the 100 million dollar question is will he accept it and would somebody think about it ? In one word Imran Khan was inspirational. A father figure to the Pakistan players who in 80s and 90s had some aggression and were joy to watch. Today ‘s team has nobody of that quality and talent except for Younis, Yousuf and ……..(nobody)..

Sharjah used to be a waterloo for India in 80s and 90s. Today we can easily thump the Pakistan team as the aggression is missing from their ranks. The team lacks a Wasim Akram or Inzamam if not Imran…. Can India vs Pakistan rivalry regain its lost sheen ? That for some another day though……..

Meanwhile some hope of 1^st Test match for Pakistan this year with Windies proposing Abu Dhabi Tests!! Some light of hopes for Pakistan cricket and this is a good sign unless somebody from PCB goofs it up……
