this is what abdul razzaq is... easily minceable... and as spineless as spinach...
yesterday he let down his team badly... if there were 'match ka mujrim' to be found look no further... the title aptly belongs to razzaq...
yesterday... razzaq escorted pakistan to a spectacular defeat... in last few overs... he anchored pakistan from the non-striker end...
the guy was so consumed in protecting his selfish arse that when afridi was losing bit of momentum due to injury... and even after his departure razzaq continued to do the same...
team be damned...

the story of pakistan-srilanka odi series...
shared by straight point on Monday, August 10, 2009
the series was played in two parts...
in first half of the series...pakistan didn't bother to show on field...
in later half...it was the turn of srilanka to do the same...
pakistan did it for one match too many...so srilanka won the odi series...

so now we know what fawad alam has done...

though 'some people' (q this is my revenge) tried it...but doubts remained...
its nice when your curious question is answered in an emphatic manner like fawad has answered...
any youngster looking to grab the opportunity with both hands...gloves...pads and kit...look no further than his maiden century on debut...
after pak's crushing defeat in first match...he was included in the team...asked to open the innings...when he has never ever opened in any game so far (knowledge courtesy Q) ...saw his team getting bundled to paltry score of 90 including his first innings failure...he knew it for sure that the second innings can be the last innings of his international career if he won't succeed...the way we (over)react...specially in subcontinent...so this was the additional pressure, apart from the deficit of 150 runs, with which he walked into the crease to take guard...and with sheer application of skills, determination and focus...he has given pak a reason to smile...again...
i know for sure that there will be flurry of adjectives in the media and in blogsphere but i would like all of them and more importantly peoples from pakistan to leave him alone...don't hail him as next messiah of pak cricket...etc...etc...let the kid do his job sans unnecessary...unwanted pressure...of expectation...of repeating similar feats...or ridiculing him as fluke if he fails in next couple of innings...
till then lets enjoy and savor the moment...!!

just into second match after t20 world cup...

...and all the goodwill seems to be evaporating fast in thin air for pakistan...
just to prove critics wrong that fourth innings collapse was ugly...the sign of pakistan team being unpredictable and inconsistent...pak team came up with another collapse to initiate debate that which one was more uglier as well as showing they can do certain things consistently...
...and certain afridi said that nine months is too little a time to cherish the t20 world champions title...!!
ps: talking of debates...there is also another debate happening at bored called pakistan srilanka MASTERDEBATE... which you might find more interesting than the real thing itself...go check yourself in...

that its not only mendis...you have to master...there are other bowlers too in srilankan team...
that the moment you slackens a bit...cricket will come and bite you hard...
contrary to the perception...pak bowlers did fine job even with gul being off color and it was the strong batting which caved in meekly...but despite all the harakiri they still had chance to win the match but i guess misbah's penchant for finding different ways of getting himself out came in way of pakistan win...waste of a talent actually...
now with murli coming in next test match it will be very difficult for pak to make a comeback...making this series even more interesting...
ps:
miandad sir...hope you watched this match to learn that match is not necessarily fixed to surrender it from winning position...or you still think the same way...?!
pakistan vs srilanka... triumph of human spirit...
shared by straight point on Saturday, June 20, 2009
that refuses to give-up against all odds...
both finalists in a way are victims of terror...
team srilanka faced bullets...for no fault of theirs...
team pakistan faced isolation...again for no fault of theirs...
both teams overcame their demons...specially srilanka after that traumatic experience...
both team fought with more hunger and desperation than other teams...
as sachin once famously said...both team indeed turned stumbling stones into milestones...and now are ready to lock horns for the battle of supremacy in the finals of world t20...
it can't merely be the coincidence...there is message hidden in it...
the message of keep fighting against all odds...the message that though negative elements can disrupt life...temporarily...but the spirit...the hope...just refuses to do die down for long...will eventually show us the way...and lead to our destinies...
while we don't know who will be lifting the cup on 21st of june 2009...what we know for sure is that cricket...the spirit of game...is already a winner...
take a bow...for srilanka and pakistan...
