Raiwind IX

The popular sport cant be seen as a separate enterprise from mother (root). I remember seeing 1992 finals when Imran took trophy. I also remember seeing many more pesentation ceremonies where Pak captains, players took their trophies. I cudnt remeber if it`s Waqar who the first who started invoking God in presentation ceremonies. It felt odd, when he did. Now we see this invocation of God in every ceremony where Pak team is involved.

Needs comparison if other teams does this (invocation of God). Why Pakistan? Well, why not Pakistan? Was this God thing is becoming too much of Obsessive Compulsie Disorder (OCD)?

In India too Gavasker made Indian team visit this fraud baba i.e Satya Saibaba b4 world cup (sometime in the past). Indian team also met religious men b4 important matches. Krish Srikkanth gave expensive silver statue to Guruvayoor temple (in individual capacity)when he became Indian captain. Of course the god who took bribe did eff his captaincy;-).

Nowadays Indian team is forced to sport tilak everytime they arrive for a match.
Indian cricket is not far behind in stupidity when it comes to mixing sport with religion.

Re: # 174

sister zeena,

.... cricket is not camel racing - it is a civilized game brought to us by english gentlemen and we should show proper respect for their traditions like lunch, tea and the mandatory aftergame gin and tonic ........... there is no room for bearded shalwar wearing tableeghi terrorists who take off to pray after the game ............. if they want to play, they should play guli danda or watwani ............ for god`s sake, we don`t need god on the cricket pitch even though he claims to be everywhere ............

I am not getting this at all. Religious is a personal issue and it should be personal. But this article sounds like author have some bad memories related with Pakistani captain or Tableighi Jammat.

is st patrick (pbuh) bigger and stronger than muhammad (pbuh) ?

....... if ireland wins and it is proven once and for all that mo of mecca is not all that he is cut out to be, then will inzimam and his tableegi tola accept the pope as their murshid ? ............... i think they should

........ i can`t believe the lota jamaat thought they could go up against the irish on st patty`s day ! ........ but, by some chance if al-lah mian does win, i will convert back to islam .......... NOT !

We need to send in a team of Fauji jawans led by a general to play internationsal cricket. If Fauji`s are running everything in the county why not cricket, is cricket not important?

[ By the way, is it single malt today?]

Alas and alack no, but I am, right now, sipping a freshly brewed cup of Earl Grey with a hint of vanilla? I don`t know whether I like it yet. I am a broken orange pekoe man and all this new-fangled stuff confuses me just as religion in cricket does.

Field sports are far too serious to allow religion to get into. God has no place on the field. It/he/she should stick to heaven where it/she/he belongs.

hahahahaha....if you wanna see why rana is in the world cup look at the size of his dari(beard).. Also all the people who thought I was wrong about Inzi and the Pakistani team - all I can say is In your face. Look at the score andd at least feel ashamed and embarrassed at the mockery Inzi has made of Pakistani cricket by mixing religion and tableegh with Cricket - lolol

and dont come back by saying at least India lost. Stupid stupid mullahs and Pakistanis. Pathetic people who dont deserve anything let alone democracy. LOL

Perhaps Raiwind has pitchs more suited to Inzi & the boys` devine strokeplay? Thus, I suggest the team lands there instead of Karachi or Lahore after its fast approaching exit from the World Cup. And who knows, had Pakistan won the cup, even Bob Woolmer might have grown a beard as well.
Sigh. If only Inzi would have thought more about imparting cricket taleem than deeni taleem, we might have beaten ireland ... at least.

NfP

i can`t believe pak lost to ireland! bt they deserved to lose because they played crap cricket. ireland played better on the day. well done to them! for knobs like hassanmahmood and others the reason pak lost was NOT because of their beards. there is no link okay.

[aside: it was saint patrick`s day. those who follow the deobandi tablighi-jamaat brand of islam do not believe in saints. those who are ahle sunnat DO believe in saints. we have our regular urs ceremonies which are saints` days. for example the other day we celebrated urs-e-ala hazrat imam ahmad raza khan. every month we celebrate sayyid shaykh abdul qadir jilani`s urs aka gyaarveeN sharif or, if you will, st. abdul qadir jilani`s day. maybe if our team became ahle sunnat and invoked the help of ghaus paak we might have won!!! ;-) in all seriousness, it has nothing to do with cricket.

pak played crap. pak lost. india played crap. india lost. now they can both go back to doing
what they`re good at: abusing each other!

Re:hamidm#180

[..is st patrick (pbuh) bigger and stronger than muhammad (pbuh) ? ....]

Apparently not since Ireland won!! However, if it is any consolation, muhammad (pbuh) did win over hanuman (pbuh) as Indians got their ass kicked by Bangladeshis!!

So it is st. patrick (pbuh) >> muhammad (pbuh) >> hanuman(pbuh)

HAHAHAHAHA. some comments from Rediff cricket borad from the secular, democratic and educated indians after their loss to Bangladesh. ;)

would ppl here pls refrain from anti-sikh comments and stop venting ur anger out on harbhajan mann for all errors committed by using anti-sikh jokes and abuse.

think before u speak.... u hindus were nothing if it wasnt for sikhs... u would ahave all been converted to islam by force if itw asnt for sikhs..plus if sikhs r such a joke than what r u hindus.. any muslims can take ur wife or sister in front of ur face yet u can never defend them cuz ur cowards!!! this has happened throughout ur 800yrs of slavery!

so Hindus pls try to discuss defeat without resorting to anti-sikh jokes and slander - this is racism!

Re: # 186
Was the Aala Hazrat a bowler, batsman or allrounder. Did he play for India or Pakistan?

Re:naqsh#186

[..pak played crap. pak lost. india played crap. india lost. now they can both go back to doing what they`re good at: abusing each other!....]

I have a better idea. India and Pakistan should just play each other instead of other countries. When we both $uck equally, lets forget other people and just play each other. Our junta loves indo-pak matches anyway. So let the losers play each other!!

A goooood ass whooping to both Indian & Pakistani teams today. Maza aaagaya.

I dont know much abt Irish team but the way they played they wud make good professional `international` players than our money-minting imposter `international` players. As for Bangladeshis, kudos to boys and the man behind their success Dave Whatmore. The same Dave lifted Sri Lankans from lower levels.

The body-cum-oral language of Woolmer and Chappel are indicative that they better survive their contract periods than `changing` the mentality of cricket mandarins & players in India and Pakistan.

Re: # 188

in his field he was an all-rounder and since he was from Bareilly he would have played for India!
