Mohammad Yousuf: A tribute

Re: # 21

Shah Sahab, There is a saying in Urdu ``Nach na janayy Aangan tayrha``. Although i have no doubt that you come from a ``Dancing`` family but your furiosity at mohammad yosuf has more to do with the failures of your own kids. Look it up it`s called ``Low-Self Esteem``. Yosuf might have hailed from a por family, but he has more class and character in his lil pinky finger than your entire lineage, i gave you an advice to wise up and fear the wrath of the creator that you are about to encounter in very very near future. Buzurgoo qabarr mein paoon latkayeyy baythayy hoo orr tharakk nahii khatam horahii

Re: # 27

Aapki gaand mein mirchein kion lkag gai hein? Kia aap bhi musalli hein ya aapko bhi us musalli loot se kuchh hissah milla he? Did you ever ponder why rulers, especially the illegitimate ones, are interested so much in cricket? It is the best way to keep the people busy and to forget politics even if it is manifestly against the Mush`s cult of enlightenment and moderation - Yousaf`s unkempt extra long beard and raising his ass in the oval. In fact cricket is essentially an immoral game, engendering greed, selfishness and jealousy instead of sport and team-spirit.

Abb kya mein pagal budhayy kayy moonh lagoon. Aaap apnayy ghar mein bhii yaqeenan apnii bahoo baytiyoon sayy issii zaban mein guftugoo farmatayy hongayy..Kheyr anyway, whether i am a mussalii or not thats not the issue. Point of Contention is your madness and jelousy for a talented cricketer. There is no cure for jelousy however for ur lunacy you should consult a doctor, but maybe its just too late, it`ll soon be over anywayy so just hang on.

Re: # 39

Sorry Abu! Mahloom hota he mircheen aapko kuchh ziada hi lag gai hein. Heirat he aapko Musalli kehne par bhi mircheen lag gai hein. Aap jante hein musalli ka kia matlab he. Aap ki pagan zabaan mein isko `namazi` kehte hein. Kia yih gaali he jo aap is pih itne cheen bah jabeen ho rahe hein. Weise itlaan arz he kih Allah ne khud musallion par lahnat bheji he. See verse 4 of Sura Maoon as reproduced hereunder:

``Faweilul lil Musaleen.`` 107/4

(4. Barbadi he ‘Musalleeon’ ke lie (jo apne aapko ‘Namaazi’ kehte hein))

To aapke khayaal mein Allah bhi (Naouzbillah) musalliuon se jealous ho gia he?

Nahein Allah ne in par is lie lahnat bheji he kih inhon ne apne ghatia pan se mazhab ko bhi ek khel balkih mizaaq bana dia he.

I heard he reverted to a more attacking style since the last couple of years.

Very well summed up thing... although i see most of the people here have bashed you but the number of evil will always surpass by the number of righteous...

X comm you are so true..... the Muslim Population is increasing world wide. (i.e the number of evil)

Insularity is the curse of the human race. I have never ever heard a person from any other nation or religion crowing about the greatness of his religion or community as unabashadly as Pakistanis.

People whose thoughts are bound in ideas like `punjabi`, muslim-non-muslim aren`t Muslim. Why o why do Pakistanis take so much pride in being `Muslim` and knowing the `true way to live?.` Verily that makes them non-muslim, because doesn`t Allah punish takabbur?`.
Anyway, a little bit of prophetizing, since that sells so much in the Land of the Pure. Of course the prophet of Islam has a monoply, but here`s hoping for some affirmative action.

As for spirituality, it has gone the way of the dodos, instead arrogance, materialism and hypocricy have taken root. And yet the people call themselves Muslims.

This article actually IS all over the place...
but still.... i agree with most of the things u said and put in a less dramatized/romanticized way these things are quite true...
the article itself might not be worthy of a lot of praise but the thoughts definitely are...
overall a very good piece

and yes further to #15, the award of most efficient editing goes to chowk editors.

And the award of bigotry goes to the author for using the word reversion instead of conversion.

why did he change his name? is yohana not islamic enough?

I somehow agree with #10 below. The records made earlier were tougher to get because not that much of cricket was played back then as it is played now. Also, there was no such thing as `ball tempering` and all the speedsters used to do it. Yousaf while very good, is not the calibre of Viv Richards who was quite effortlessly a batting giant.

leaving aside M.Y.`s religious views, he did achieve something great in this cricketing age. Even batsmen like Ponting, Matthew Hayden, Lara or Dravid have not been able to achieve something like this.

But I still consider the Great Viv Richards` record as more significant because his runs were scored against greater bowlers like Lillee, Hadlee, Imran Khan, Thomson etc and in an age where the pitches actually offered something to the bowlers unlike the dust bowls of today. Even home matches for Richards would not have been batsmen friendly on account of the great bowlers in his team. M.Y. scored majority of his runs on Pakistani pitches where even someone like M.S. Dhoni made a huge score.

M.Y.`s is an achievement which however should still be kept in perspective.

just when you thought it was not possible to sink any lower, chowk has hit a new low !

............ this is the kind of garbage that makes me want to `revert` to the religion of grandpa gopinath even if it means eating bhindi and running around in a loin cloth for the rest of my life .............

chowk staff, wake up !
