Inzy should NOT have brought religion to the game, I dont hear anyone saying Lord or Jesus helped them win the game, praise the lord!
Religion has no place in sports. Period.
On the other hand just because Inzi can not speak English means we should make fun of him? did anyone made fun of Zidane for not speaking in English?
Most cricketers in the team are product of our broken school system so what do you expect from them. They can hardly articulate in Urdu.
Players need to realize Allah did not promise them a good score, performance or win, they have to depend on skills.

yawn! if someone other than a chowk columnist had written this repetitive, unfunny, piece of crap, so soon after another almost identical piece by the same author, it would not have been published. and given that mr.woolmer has just been murdered it was in poor taste too.

Had Mr. Paracha not parodied the Tablighi Jamaat connection with Pakistan team, I`m sure Mr. Naqshbandi would have had different sentiments about this piece. We know you`re a big fan of Junaid Jamshed`s naats ... but the guy`s a babling idiot, really.
Anyho, that`s your point of view Naqshbandi, that`s fine with me. As for some of us, I think us down and out Pakistani cricket fans do need a little bit of satire as well amidst all the hystarics exploding around us regarding the issue. There is absolutely nothing distateful about this piece. It`s satire, and satire is bound to bite.

Interesting interview. It should have ended with:
Inna lillahay wa inna alayhay raja`ayoon.
Mohammad Gill
Inna lillahay wa inna alayhay raja`ayoon.

india are out too!
if this piece had been the first NFP on this topic i wouldn`t have minded so much. what`ve JJs naats got to do with anything? I don;t like TJ as anyone who knows my views will know but this, even as satire, was utterly shite.

It is my pleasure to educate ignorant FOBS (Fresh off the Boat Sikhs) like you in the ways of your new country.
A few weeks back, Tony Dungy the Indianapolis Colts coach and Super Bowl champion said that ``God was responsible for the Colts` 29-17 victory against the Bears.`` In the brief presentation ceremony and the following news conference Dungy used the word ``Lord,`` ``God`` or ``Christian`` 10 times while referring to the Colts` success.
Rail Gaddi has left Ludhiana, you`re in North America now.... loosen the pug and enjoy the fresh air, sardar ji.

``Pak cricket died at 3 am today. May its soul rest in peace. Funeral will be on March 21, after the match against Zimbabwe. Maulana Inzamam ul Haq Multani will lead the janaza prayer.``
This was a SMS messaget quited by Jawed Naqvi on Daily DAWN.
Similarly Indian cricket got killed by Sri Lankans today and that is due to all the boyz on the Paki side ``prayed`` to Allah and made dua that O Allah please let India lose so that we have some face saving when we return to Pakland.
Does Indian Cricket team Captain going to announce his retirement?

hmm......india lost, as well......and is out......that is really going to hurt the sponsors as cricket runs on money generated from india......
.......i think india, now, has bigger problems than pakistan, in cricket........four of pakistan`s key players were missing (shoaib, asif, razzaq and afridi).......so once the four players are back, pakistan should be back to normal........
......indian problems are not so straightforward........the whole indian team was fit.........traditionally, indian bowling is considered weak.........however, the bowlers did ok....indian batting, on paper, is the strongest in the world.......yet, it is the batting which failed.....
so, who will be dropped and what changes will be made.......dhoni and yuvraj failed miserably.......however, they are two of the most talented youngsters in the world.....so they cannot be dropped.......that leaves tendulkar, sehwag, dravid, ganguly.........sehwag was the future indian captain and is still young........can he be dropped?......ganguly has played well, after being dropped earlier.......can he be dropped?........dravid is still one of the best players in the world......and is still scoring.....so he is not going to be dropped.....nor will he resign, like inzi did........
this leaves tendulkar and the new guy uthapa.......uthapa is filling in a slot, which remains unfilled.......so dropping him isn`t going to change much.........does this mean, it is the end of the road for tendulkar`s one day career?.........

Re: # 15
Romair:
I think so too. Indian Cricket has a major problem. Its problem is systemic that, it is less rewarding and more exploitative and bureaucratic.
India now has a center of gravity, should do major reorganization on the U.S. NFL basis. Let players be free-agents who can be sponsored by consortiums and league clubs purchase contracts for their service. Both of these acts will bring match fixing and gambling money into the system, as players` sponsors will get returns. This spectator sports business should be opened to all players from the world who can come and play and earn returns. Such spectator approach can be several billion dollars a year spectator sports.
