Yar Some1, the lack of participation by several guppies has much to do with the current state of the game of cricket in Pakistan. Its not like our team has never been through a horrible phase. We have seen ever poorer performance from our team but we always have supported them no matter how they play. We commend or criticize them but at the end of the day we still love them.
Its also not like that we have realized that all the talent has gone and so we are dissappointed that we are left with bunch of mediocre players. I firmly believe (and I dont know why) that Pakistan cricket will never ever suffer the same fate which Pakistan hockey or squash suffered.
The problem which is the source of disgust right now is that all kind of bull$**** is happening in Pakistan cricket except cricket. Let me list few of them off the top of my head
If there is an arguement/fight among players that will be leaked to the media somehow.
*If a player is banned from playing cricket, then somehow he is allowed to play another kind of cricket known as IPL and we become a laughing stock for world wide audience. *
If an ex banned unbanned player wants to get high, he must carry his **stuff **while travelling in a plane. Jumah Jumah 8 din hoiey hain charsi banay hoiey, likin ab itnay baray charsi bun giey hain kay thora intizar nahin hota.
*If our chairman wants to criticize the team, somehow we all read the content of his letter in our morning newspaper. And then after few days we see our chairman sitting at the boundary ropes applauding and clapping like a little girl. *
A top official is fired from PCB with a serious accusation of leaking information to the media and then is reinstated after couple of days.
If our nazuk emotional captain is not feeling upto it, he will very conveniently decide not to face the media. He thinks he will feel offended by what people have to say about him or the team but never realize that people already have judged about him by seeing him bowling his full quota against teams like BD and Zim and not allowing new comers to bowl, and then chickening out against stronger oppositions, doing a lap of honour after beating the mighty Zim by 5-0 etc
*It beats me that how a guy who could not be part of playing 11 in a test match is actually our captain. *
I know we are not among the most disciplined nations and the same goes for our departments and so we can always expect some kind of unprofessionalism. However NOT to this extent and when that happens I guess fans like me just sit quietly and wait/hope for a change
P.S. **If Kamran Akmal somehow is back in the team then I will edit this post and will put him on the top of my list.
