Re: Butt and Farhat: Best buddies?
Ignore the score card for now, as I am sure Woolmer and Inzi were also seeing the struggles by Farhat out in the middle, as we saw last night. The dude probably got 10 lives before lunch, including umpiring favors on Murali balls. His comfort level was comparable to when Clinton faced the grand jury on Monica scandal.
Anyway, I degress... lets stick to the topic, do these guys pray more for the team to win, or for their replacement to fail? Do you think Sami was smirking watching Rana smacked all over the ground? Or Butt wishing some Lankan could actually catch the ball when Farhat was playing?
I was reading an excerpt from Miandad's memoires where he talks about '92 world cup, and when he was initially dropped from the team. Then, when the team did poorly in warm up games, Miandad was called in. It almost appeared that Miandad was hoping for the team to do bad, and was gleeful when he was asked to join the team. I think this is pretty natural. Though politically incorrect.
