Laugh out loud on following piece of news from Pakistan. If hanky panky between Butt and Khan was not enough, then this one is baap of all anti - India mindset of the cross border fellas.
"Karachi: A senior Sindh minister Tuesday accused India of influencing umpires to get Pakistan ousted from the Champions Trophy semifinal in South Africa.
Muhammad Ali Shah, the minister for Sports and a member of the Pakistan Cricket Board governing council, suspected India's role in the sub-standard umpiring, leading to Pakistan's defeat against New Zealand.
Champions Trophy 2009
"Definitely, it is clear that India were miffed at not qualifying for the semi-finals after Pakistan lost to Australia and they took their revenge in their own way. They influenced the umpires to favour New Zealand," Shah told reporters.
Australian umpire Simon Taufel had wrongly adjudged Umar Akmal leg-before-wicket at a crucial stage of the match and even admitted to the mistake and apologised later.
Shah said he would not refrain from pressing the PCB to see that the International Cricket Council impose at least a one-year ban on Taufel."
Butt pressed for ban on Broad, now this lad wants Taufel banned. There should be some sanity at least. If you guys lost, accept it with grace.
Laugh it out. It made my day. Had a horrible day in the office.
