Re: Arrest Over Cricket ‘Match-Fixing’ At Lords

If I were to be brutally honest, I will have to say that I am being throroughly entertained by this latest instalment of a long running soap opera that is Pakistani cricket. No, I am not gloating as you might expect an Indian to. It is just pure, unalloyed pleasure.

It takes me away from the drudgery that is my daily life. I can’t wait to find out what happens next…who will be banned and subsequently unbanned, who will retire and subsequently unretire…who will pull down whose *chaddi *in public…

I suspect that many of you guys - behind this facade of outrage - are also secretly enjoying all of this. You want these players to be pronounced guilty don’t you, just like the media hounds you want a good story…a climax…does not matter whether you are Pakistani or not…we all like to watch car wrecks. All these platitudes about the urgency to prevent the great game of cricket from being tainted etc…nothing but a load of bull if you ask me.

Thank you Pakistan cricket…you give my life a semblance of purpose.

Well some1….bhot zalam insaan ho tum….but I am the first one to admit….it is in entertaining!…..and deep down there, i do want this drama to continue…..country’s credibility, nationalism, all that bul drowned when akram and salim malik sold us 15 years ago….now it is all fun….unfortunately, I work in M&A role and most of my time is spent in the office….now that this drama is in its full swing, I have something to look forward to while I am running endless versions of my freakin model trying to come up with higher IRR using fake scenarios!…as soon as I finish my presentation and email it to my boss, I click on cricinfo with my heart beat out of control… ……….i have endless thoughts in my mind…. no idea what will be the next headline ….may be shoaib malik is behind bars now! …..or may be molana yousaf is also part of the gang!!! Or imran farhat has been appointed the next skipper…or asif molested a teenager girl…blah blah….anything is possible…..jeo Pakistani cricket team…kind of sad but have you ever heard a coach dying right during the world cup in any sports?…lol…hum nay to wo bee kar diya..only god knows what bob wolmer saw that he had an heart attack..lol….
