Mir blasts overdose of religion in team

PJ Mir, Pakistan’s media manager during the World Cup, has blamed the influence of religion in the dressing room for Pakistan’s disastrous performance in the Caribbean.
Speaking to reporters after his appearance at the performance evaluation committee looking into Pakistan’s shambolic display, Mir said, "I could not disclose this fact before, but today I inform the media that most of the members had no focus on cricket. Their fixation was on preaching, affecting the team’s preparations."
**Mir complained that the players devoted more time to praying and preaching than to the game itself. “The boys were up against the most challenging task of proving their skills in the prestigious tournament, but I am sorry to say they had no drive for the game and were much more active in preaching and praying.” **
**Mir argued that the religious influence had gone “beyond limits. I told the committee that Pakistani players, rather than pray privately, tried to make it a public spectacle.” **

I miss the good old days when Imran Khan was cavorting with British women and having a nice drink with his pork chops. He also won matches too. He was larger than life and just the right personality (traits and all) for the job. Now he is a politician and has acquired religion which is also keeping with the job. Why can’t we have more people like Mr. Khan in Pakistani cricket? Why? Why?
