Shahzad being SHOKHA

Kamran Akmal’s wicket is not a good omen for the BD team.

Remember, in the Asia cup, SL team allowed Fawad Alam to score the century, by not taking his 4 dolly catches, by design, and they won the match, by just keeping Afridi at bay..!

Agony of Kamran Akmal is over..!

Today Pakistan is not going to play another round match.

The importance of this match is that we have to not only win this match, but we we have to win with a huge margin, to improve our run rate and the net run rate, because we don’t have the luxury of the Indians, who have not lost any of their matches. Whereas, we lost our first match to India.

Under the circumstances, Sharjeel Khan must have been included in place of Shoaib Malik.

It seems our team management, is not only crazy, but that are deaf, dumb and blind, as well.

India afraid of Pak under 21 snooker players..!

Does India deserve most favoured nation’s status from Pakistan..?

Karachi- Indian government today has refused to issue visa to Pakistan snooker team to play under-21 championship.
Four players of Pakistan have to participate in the Asian under-21 Snooker Championship which will starts from April 4 in Mohali, India.

“Pakistan Snooker team would not participate in the tournament due to non-issuance of visa,” Pakistan Billiards and Snooker Association (PBSA) said. He said that India has denied to issue the visa without telling the reason.

England, the second of the so called ICC’s Big3 is also out of the World Cup after the first one i.e., Australia.

England lost by 3 runs to SA. Although, England played 2 less dot balls than SA i.e, 36 dot balls vs 38 of the SA, yet, England, basically lost, when it leaked 68 runs in last 4 overs to SA while bowling in the 1st innings.

Any way, England and Australia have been confined to the dustbin of the history, to bite the dust, till the next World Cup, to be held in 2016.

South Africa got to their 196 runs by just playing 38 dot balls. (Remember Australia last night lost by playing 61 dot balls).

SA scored last 68 runs only in four overs or 24 balls.

UNDER Asif Ali Zardari’s government, about 13 months ago in February, the Sindh Assembly passed legislation for providing free and compulsory education and school uniforms to a fixed percentage of poor children in the vicinity of all private schools in Sindh.

However, until now not a single child has been allowed this facility for poor children living in the vicinity of private schools. This is a pathetic state of affairs.

Hope this was not a pre-election gimmick? Mr Zardari should order implementation of this public service idea, which is already enshrined in the constitution but sadly is a law only in Sindh. The other provinces have not even made it a law.

In India all private schools, according the law, are providing (equal to the 20pc of enrolled students) free education and free school uniforms to poor children residing in their vicinity.

But who cares for the education of the poor in Pakistan!

A Humble Proposal for the World’s Peace

It is proposed that as a first step, the world must agree to a binding UN resolution, on any threat of use or actual use of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, as an act of terror.

These weapons must also be excluded from the list of the weapons of war, in any future world conflict.

It is hoped that if the above proposal is agreed, the world will be a much safer place to live in, for the entire humanity.
