Re: Goldman Sachs: Pakistan’s economy could reach $2.1 trillion by 2050
Well, Test cricket is tuk tuk, hence the stardom of Misbah, while limited over ODI don’t have the luxury of time.
I see cricket as a game of nerve aka psychic game where the one side who blows up their fuse under pressure gets to loose. I don’t see Pakistani batsmen rotating the strike by hitting balls in the gaps to keep the opposite side on edge. I mentioned imran since when asked about fielding once, he said that taking wickets is more important than anything. This is just stupid as don’t we all remember our lax fielding and that kamran akmal dropping catches left and right costing pakistan matches as Sachin or dravid, to name a few, established themselves and let loose on the pakistani bowling ? You can’t give away 40-50 runs like wasim and waqar did with the batting powerplay and fielding restrictions in today’s cricket.
As for economy, I remember reading $17.1 billion and other figures show $24 billion dollars. We are pretty much selling clothes and also raw products like cotton and even pre-ethanol mixtures when Pakistan should be exporting cars, perhaps chips? and plant our own tea to save on that expense.
You have to crawl before you can walk, then think about running.
Pakistan should invest in what it currently is efficient in producing. That being textiles etc. Once the economy grows, then overtime, diversification into more technical items will follow.
