You say 3 runs...Khurram, I could not disagree more. You say 3 runs is not that important in the grand scheme of things? It is not about 3 runs, it is about the principal. This is the exact justification politicians use for corruption. 3 runs out of 300 is say 1% which is not a huge number, but it is a factor nonetheless, matches have been won by less. Politicians when brokering big deals also take commission, normally a bit more than 1% but not much more. The point here is that the person is so involved in the unlawful activity and their own greed that they do not notice the system crumble around them. In the case of cricket, we have accusations of Afridi being forced out because he would not oblige, a wicketkeeper being sent home despite saying he can play and then they same poor chap having his whole family threatned so he runs off in the middle of a tour. This is all a result of the Pakistan teams interactions with people like Mazhar Majeed. It is not about the 3 extra runs those two gave away, its what it stands for. It stands for the fact that the Pakistan cricket team can be bought for the right price.<br /><br />And in the case of Imran Khan, he is a world class leader on the cricket field, but in over a decade of Tehreek-e-Insaaf all he has to show is one lousy seat in the National Assembly, not exactly world class leadership if you ask me.Shazilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15664604542592824894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367276987268778606.post-29018802721855593722010-12-14T18:41:02.952-05:002010-12-14T18:41:02.952-05:00The three cricketers need to be proven guilty. Not...The three cricketers need to be proven guilty. Not innocent. Tho I have a feeling ICC doesn't follow the general guidelines of hearings when it comes down to subcontinental teams.<br />Tho, if they're proven innocent then they should play. Just cus you think they've done it doesn't justify their non-involvement in the team. Let's not forget that Aamer took 6 wickets that day after bowling that no-ball and even though Asif didn't take any wickets that day he was quite a threat and provided the right pressure at the other end. If they were trying to put themselves over their country they wouldn't be charging in on the 4th day of a test match of the 3rd test match of a series (I might have the stats wrong about the game). I'm not saying they're innocent, I'm just saying that there isn't any evidence that they tried to lose us the game. They gave a total of 3 runs and 3 extra balls. Yes its not acceptable but I think going and calling them bastards is a little overboard.<br /><br />Also, Emad, Imran Khan is a horrible politician, but let's show some respect where it is deserved. Let's not question the man's leadership skills. He is a world class leader. Sure Asif will give u some trouble, but Imran has never played with him or has never come to cricket camps. His statement says that they should wait till the results of hearing to make a decision for the team. that is all.Khurramnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367276987268778606.post-8760553285454308452010-12-14T04:29:07.063-05:002010-12-14T04:29:07.063-05:00...but completely agree with your sentiments on th......but completely agree with your sentiments on the comedy routines: no class.Emadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524967282730158938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367276987268778606.post-31697512273013774292010-12-14T04:25:50.914-05:002010-12-14T04:25:50.914-05:00To be fair, Dawn reports Imran Khan as saying, &qu...To be fair, Dawn reports Imran Khan as saying, "we must wait for the verdict on the two bowlers." So I guess in context he wasn't being completely hypocritical.<br /><br />His statement does, however, reflect another, perhaps more important failure of his: his inability to judge people and the ramifications of recruiting the wrong people in an organization. We've seen him fill PTI with the wrong people and thus condemn it to failure. Now he wants to bring back Asif, whose involvement in shady activities in the past render him the worst possible selection choice for Pakistan cricket (edging out Malik and Farhat). Sure, Asif will get you short-term results but at the expense of long-term success. So even though the statement may not be an indicator of his hypocrisy, it does paint an accurate picture of his leadership skills.Emadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524967282730158938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367276987268778606.post-40700324628748602442010-12-14T02:12:34.465-05:002010-12-14T02:12:34.465-05:00it doesn't matter what you think and what they...it doesn't matter what you think and what they did. If they do not get life bans/any bans and are by some miracle proven innocent, should they not be allowed to play?
