Inzi Post-Bob: An Interview

Re: # 13 hamidm

Urstruly`s rheory on other thread is good enough. Have a rest. Ek peg aur lagao hangover ke liye.

who killed bob ?

......... bismillah-ur-rehman-ur-rahim........... i have a theory and inshallah, hangover permitting, i will expound on it tomorrow morning .......

``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?

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.

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?.........

NFP, I think you have lost it. After the earlier slightly ranting cum boring article, you came up with a cliched device of an interview to drive the same points that you so boringly raised in the earlier article.

Though Mohammad Gill also possesses an article churning machinery but at least they are on a different topic each time.

Can`t the Pakistani music industry take more of your diatribes. Or is it that you only specialize in flogging dead horses.

this article is in very, very poor taste especially considering that Bob was murdered and that the investigation is still ongoing. you should have restricted yourself to Inzi and the team. there`s no need to bring in Bob in this.

Extremely boring piece, almost unreadable.

LOL. It`s hilarious.

Exressing sentiments is OK. Many people in sports does this. The effing Danis Kaneria does live pooja everytime takes a wicket. He looks really funny. May be it`s in Pak genes of this overt religious fervour!

Shivnarine Chandepaul does complete bow to the land whenever he made a century. Krish Srikkanth did repititive touching of his amulet and remembering Sun god. Goran Ivanisevic moves his hands in cross direction to say thanks to his god. Carl Hooper is a self-proclaimed Christain but I doubt he led his teammates to Sunday church service.

I hope that these religious nuts relinquish sports and become monks, mullahs and sanyasis.

People who enjoy Art Buchwald kinda pieces wud like this write-up. Laughter is the best medicine. LOL.

That was hilarious.

I think NFP has hit the nail on the head. I agree, once you get too much focus onto divine providence and luck you stop working hard.
I think this too much focus on praising the almighty all the time leads to complacency. It makes one lazy and one just assumes that all the good things in life would just fall on their laps if they sit and pray all the time.
There is a deep theological tension with this concept of divine providence, divine will, prayers and one`s action that no mullah can resolve. It can be done only through one`s commonsense.
I have heard that Inzi had an argument with Bob because he refused to come for the practice session.

Indian bookies are now chasing the Bangladesh players. I am sure huge offers are being made to Bangali players so that they lose against bermuda. This will enable India to compete in the next level super 8.

This article captures well the ridiculous nature Pakistan cricket got into in the last many years. The last line ```` You are good Muslim. Here, have a Pepsi```` spot on hits on the contradiction Inzi and his team became.

Paracha

Funny. Agree there are too many beards.

And not decent trimmed beards but wild growth with no end - like the Taliban.

This intentional display of religosity is quite a turn off.

NHK

NFP

Hilarious, great article.

On Bobs death....Inzi`s reply:
``Bismillah...Thanks to Allah, Boyzz played well``

An unsuccessful attempt at humour.

The prayer disease afflicts equally well the subcontinent along the Iodine deficient belt that extends on both sides of the borders from Peshawar to Dhaka along the Grand Trunk Road -- even Hitler ( now Hitler can be quoted in civilized company thanks to our George Bush era) had complained about the subcontinent being a perpetual praying machine.

Hindus despite their myriads of simian and elephantine multiple armed multiple legged gods and godesses can seprate religion from sports and from science and from software business -- but for the poor insecure Pakistani hypothyroid cretins -- verbal Islam is like a crack addiction -- it binds every cell every fiber of their bodies and souls in a convulsive rigor mortis if it is not invoked and ingested on time.

religion is such an obssession with the stupid naive Pakistanis -- they can`t even fart without invoking Islam 5 times.

Finally God of Islam got so tired being pestered day and night by the pesky Pakistanis pests for such small things like cricket championships -- He not only made them lose to the Insignificant Irish -- He killed their coach as well -- ``nu rahega baaNs nu bajegi baaNsuree``.
