Re: Pakistan Cricket: From SHARMA to SHARMA
Cant say how any from this thread or forum were there---but I was when Chetan Sharma-after good three minutes counseling from Ravi Shastri, Kapil Dev and Azharuddin (sharminda for now having thrown the ball to Sharma instead of shying it when Tauseef ran for the love of his life for a single) made a complete boo boo by delivering that halwa to our Babbr **Sher Javed Miandad **
who jubiliated and got a Merc and crores in return.
I was sitting next to he commentator's ara...when Ifti shouted "Its a SIX...Pakistan has won...what an incredible victory....".
Later that night at the grand ceremony at Sharjah Continental....for awarding beneficiaries their purses----I took Sharma to sympathy--and asked him what really happened--despite so many cheetah's giving him advise....and Sharma smilingly said "Look man....had Azharuddin sent the ball in my hand...the Australasia Cup was ours" hence----after almost 21 years of that unforgettable moment.....its the same scenario.....*on Misbah (who is to appear on GEO SUPERSports on coming Monday for talk with Mirza Iqbal Beg *) who also...missed out or misjudged the from Sharma's doosra janam.....and got INDIA the Twenty20 World Cup...but his was TWENTY20...what we won was FIFTY50...which, as Ponting says....is far better then 20-20 and I tend to agree with him as 20 overs is just 1/4 less entertainment then an ODI.
If you have a question for MISBAH...I'll ask hm on phone Iqbal Beg has requested me to participate during live transmission on GEO Super at 11 pm PST on Monday-1 Oct...and I'll ask the bst question on behalf of the GS member--by taking his name--even if pseudo one.
Khush Rahein......
