Sobia:
``But she soon gets to know him after about 5 years of their marriage.....``
Does it take 5 years for a wife to ``know`` her husband (in a biblical sense) and discover that he is not man enough?:-)
Enjoyed your story...must be more where it came from.

tahmed32 #19, its ME who rejected cricket, because although too late, I finally did get to know no matter how good I`ll play, I`ll always be the `chosen worse` :D
My game would automatically improve infront of female audience. I wonder if it`s a subconcious effect of reading too much Shafeequr Rehman :)

PagalInsaan #8 Join the club of cricket rejects. Finally I found the solution to making a century: I enticed a kid half my size to play, with him being the bowler and myself the batsman. I had the poor chap bowling and fielding and bowling and fielding and bowling and fielding...until late evening when I had finally gotten my century.
Moral: It doesnt matter how bad you are - you just have to select someone even worse than you.

And then there was the time I was watching the ladies on the pavilion when I should have been fielding. And got hit on the arm really hard by a ball I should have caught. And then there was the time I was watching the ladies on the side (this time I was playing soccer aka football) when I was near the enemy goal, and got hit on the head by the ball and it went into the goal. And there was the time...

Yes sir...Those were the days. Now I only watch the ladies as they cross the road in front of me while I am supposed to be waiting for the red light to turn to green...

Further to my post at # 4, I think that frogs must have fared very well, considering the prowess of Pakistani batsmen of hitting with a bat. That is, if they were able to catch the frogs in the first place. Considering their fielding, I doubt that they were able to catch any ;)

Sobia

I am at times envious of a house wife`s job.

Free boarding and lodging for life time. No office tensions, no job securuty problems, no responsibility for making a living.

With such perks, `Kaali Kaloti` once in while is ok.

Poor moi couldn`t even find asylem in Cricket! I was the third of the three and the youngest. The eldest would take the bat and toss the ball to his younger partner. I`d come running behind them, ``And me?``. ``You do the fillding!`` Then they`d throw the ball all over the park and I`d have to run and pick it up.




I had the chance to play a match for my city Multan in an under-19 tournament. I did pretty well with the bat, and my captain exclaimed it was surprising, because he was only playing me as a point fielder. Since then I decided that I`ll never play professional cricket again!

In our day, they merely shot frogs out of the water with chharey wali bandooq. Now they play cricket with them. Once the housewife finds out how much fun frogs can be, the story about what is red and green and goes at 40 miles per hour will come true in Islamabad as well. (I am sure you have all heard this joke about the red and green thing going at 40 mph, so no need to relate the whole joke. At least not on this post.)
