england is disturbed...

shared by straight point on Tuesday, September 21, 2010

"We were very absolutely outraged by the allegations yesterday," Strauss said. "We refute them completely and we were very disturbed that someone would come out with those allegations without any proof to back them up. When the allegations first surfaced there was a lot of raw emotion around and we needed to let that subside. But we didn't have a lot of time to do that. Once the emotion did subside, we as a group of players realised that the best option available to us was to play the game."

this is what strauss said after losing consecutive odi against a team that is marred with match fixing allegations...

against a team that is not allowed to drop a catch... score a blob... can't even score low for two consecutive overs... can't even play a maiden over after a reasonable high scoring over or icc will launch another investigation... have to deal with a unique nut like ijaz butt on daily basis... when they eventually win the same nut, their own president, goes on air to accuse opposition team of losing it for money and finally against the team that can't even afford to smile in diversity for the very act will invite further suspicion... scrutiny...

if for anything... strauss should be disturbed coz he can't even win against a beleaguered team...

Interesting take, you'd think Strauss is the Pak captain - and then you see Afridi beaming interview after interview, believe Younis Khan has inhabited him.

its outrageous even for pak standards... means here is a team that is facing the worst that could happen to them and strauss comes out and says we were disturbed...

but why let these small facts come in way of rant for an excuse...?

I see...so just because Pakistani cricketers endure idiocy from all quarters the English have no right to be disturbed about anything. Yes we should also just get used to the kind of stupidity the PCB and its cricketers are used to.
