Sighs It's 38 minutes long.

To start off, the name tag below Asif Iqbal said "Asif Iqbal, Former Cricktor". Later on, it was changed to "Former Cricketor".

On phone with Rajiv Shukla, PJ Mir asked him if he agreed with the Indian government's decision or not. I am sure it was a very well thought-out question...

Afterwards, Pervaiz Ahmed said that things will get better in next 2-4 months. How will that effect Pakistan's chances of hosting 2009 Champions Trophy was never part of the talk, so we don't know.

Asif Iqbal raised a point and said that if Western countries don't want to visit Pakistan due to security reasons but Sri Lanka feels safe in doing so, what message does that send across? That it is the wrong perception and views that are holding those countries back from playing cricket with Pakistan.

Yeah I noticed that too.

They would argue that it is the fault of the English language. Why
similar sounding words have different spellings?

Why doctOR but not CricketOR?
