Why are you so surprised? I think it is a right decision, otherwise it would have sounded very hypocritical that on one hand you don’t allow the two teams to visit each others countries and on the other you are hiring a coach from the same country. Definitely he would have helped in building new fast bowlers especially when he knows where to put his mouth i.e., where the money is.

Tell me whether Gavaskar or Tendulkar would be willing to coach Pakistani batsmen in Pakistan? Obviously not because, they have some patriotism in them, but this MF has no loyalties and no hesitation he accepted bribe during the WC semi-final in Bangalore and declared himself unfit.

If it is a matter of livelihood, then why do people care about earning something with respect and dignity? And, why is that a whore and a pimp’s earnings are considered as bad? That is also their livelihood, isn’t it? If someone talks about us that we are also not in our country of birth, that is entirely a different issue because, we have migrated and settled here and we have our livelihood here but, supporting Pakistan or India in sports is very different from dissing your own country and going to the neighbouring country especially when the relationships are sour. He must have that much respect for his own country, but like I said, his loyalties are with money! C’est ca.

North America and Canada too are celebrating Eid tomorrow and so also our PATHAN BHAIS in NWFP

Being the coach or consultant of a high profile team like KKR would have earned him unbelievable sums of money.

Younis Khan, who has picked up a finger injury during their warm-up match against Sri Lanka, will undergo a scan on Monday.

Pakistan captain had sustained a hairline fracture in the index finger of his right hand during the warm-up match at Benoni on Friday night and an X-ray will be done to ascertain seriousness of the injury.

However, Pakistan team manager Yawar Saeed was hopeful that the injury not a serious one and the skipper will be ready for their September 23 campaign opener against the West Indies.

“The injury does not look like a serious one and we are very hopeful that he would be fit for the tournament,” Saeed said.

“But Younis will have another X-ray on the finger on Monday after which it will be clear when he can resume playing,” he added.

Younis will miss Pakistan’s next warm-up match against a local side on Sunday due to the injury.

“I have seen many players injured and am confident Younis will be able to play in the Champions Trophy. He will recover quickly,” Saeed insisted.

Younis is the most experienced batsman in the team after Muhammad Yousuf and has been in good form in recent time.

Younis Khan’s injury is not serious and he is expected to play in the first official match.

Aamer also is not injured as many thought he was.

Only a few players are fasting and they will celebrate Eid tomorrow. After that they will get back to cricket.

I wonder if Asif was under a hypnotic spell too when his dope tests came positive 2 times round!
