Because I write on khansahab's blog as well and I was not being sarcastic but quoting mere facts that I have never been uncivil to anyone and being a Hindu I respect other religion and your country too. And you find my comments offensive? If not, why did you delete them? If that pleases you, than be happy thats all I can say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-33032692316716318042008-07-20T11:46:00.000+04:002008-07-20T11:46:00.000+04:00Khansahab - I agree abt the talent.

I don't think any super young 16 year old or u-19 should be fast tracked into the national scene... let them go through the grind of the domestic circuit... a fast track doesn't lead to any possible results for the overall picture as also seen in the case of India. A fast track will only add to a reputation and a complex when the concerned player is playing in the domestic circuit and often leads to preferential treatment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-59091494460202671992008-07-18T08:53:00.000+04:002008-07-18T08:53:00.000+04:00The tubber is corrupt you are right,but none of th...The tubber is corrupt you are right,but none of the ex-player is so powerful that he can't be replaced or hold accountable like DNA if things go wrong.<BR/>The difference is the same as you have between democracy and dictatorship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-5204826948144619152008-07-18T08:46:00.000+04:002008-07-18T08:46:00.000+04:00Purdha hey purdha purdhey kay peechay yeh jo purdh...Purdha hey purdha purdhey kay peechay yeh jo purdha nasheen hey woh woh......?<BR/><BR/>Indian view!<BR/><BR/>If you want to have this discussion in a civil manner as it is going so far,I can come to your blog or you can come to mine.<BR/>I did not respond to your post on the last thread as we are guests on Q's blog and we have to respect our host.I hope you will understand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-68466321947188831372008-07-18T07:53:00.000+04:002008-07-18T07:53:00.000+04:00wasim - its not just the chairman or the patron ...wasim - its not just the chairman or the patron in chief but the whole tubber is corrupt.

It doesn't matter if you play a Sialkot XI, Punjab XI, NWFP XI or Karachi XI- there is abundance of talent.<BR/><BR/>As they say in Urdu, "taali donon haathon sey bachti hai". Sure the Board is to be blamed for mismanagement and corruption. Pakistan is not a rich country and money has always been misappropriated by powerful people. <BR/><BR/>But the greater fault is of these players themselves. The same country and same Board produced Wasim and Waqar, Imran and Miandad, Inzamam and Yousuf. <BR/><BR/>The reason why there aren't more of these players is because the players don't have the same passion, commitment and do-or-die attitude. They are a bunch of lazy and selfish athletes who have been blinded by the glamour of the modern game.<BR/><BR/>Where there are talented players who want to perform, they are not getting a chance because of nepotism and politics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-52594828623597293372008-07-17T22:42:00.001+04:002008-07-17T22:42:00.001+04:00Whats so funny anonymous?Whats so funny anonymous?Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-43629078096651693992008-07-17T22:42:00.000+04:002008-07-17T22:42:00.000+04:00Oh, I didn't hear that Wasim.
