Rashid Latif’s Abeyance From One Day Cricket

JJ thanks for article about cricket. Every body was extremely disappointed by decision (S A teams refusal to play, I agree their country is not haven, in fact most of worries of people there about being mugged by Mandela`s ANP gangs).as we can not see great team of ours at home grounds. I think team has improved as can be victory over bangla desh. I am delighted to see Rawalpindi express is in full steam and his form is good. He was able to give punishment to bangala deshis and battered their battsman. Can pakistan sue SA Cricket establishment in some way to to recover expenses and lost reveues by Idustry of hoels? Can players be held responsible ?. Can we (should also) ``teach`` lesson by cancelling and bycotting till they contribute to spirit of cricket by being good sportsman and Gentlamen?

Ooops
In 6th Paragraph of the article the sentence:
`` When so much money is involved and stacks are so high``

should be read as:
`` When so much money is involved and stakes are so high``.

My apologies for the type that happened to be a genuine word hence no spell check problems.

Rozaiba,

There is not many bigger sporting events on the planet than:

• India Vs Pakistan Cricket game,
  
• Raiders Vs Broncos,
  
• England vs Argentina SOCCER games.
  
• and of course RED-WINGS Vs AVS
  

This week-end happened to have the Broncos/Raiders showdown and boy o boy it was some show.

It was great to see Ashly Lelee and Mike Anderson reviving the ``Mile-High Salute`` that one of the greatest Bronco, Terril Davis, invented in late 90s.

As on the topic of Gen Tauqir Zia I am surprized that the man has now turned against Rashid Latif and has publically stated that it still has to be seen if Rashid has a place in the team and criticised the catch that I talked about in this article. He let his son Junaid Zia play for Pakistan, despite below average talents, that in itself speaks how commited he is in playing by the rules.

South African Tour of Pakistan:

I was outraged reading South African refusal to come visit Paksitan, considering the fact that it was recently evaluated by the same country`s Cricket board that it was safe to Play in Pakistan. I have always supported a country`s decision not to play if player`s life is not safe I supported England`s decision to not go to Zimbabwe and Newzland`s decision to abandon their tour of Pak after a bomb blast in their hotel. But UCBSA decided it was safe to play and then within 2 days out of blue in reaction to an isolated bomb-blas pulled out of the tour. Only one word REDICULUS!

Perhaps UCBSA needs to look into the history when Pak players were stabbed, muged in Johnsberg but had no words of complaints when their worldcup base was a city none other than crime capital of RSA Johansberg.

Jarrar! A MILE HIGH salute to you!

I LOVED the Broncos-Raiders game! It`s not just Shanahan who gets great joy at beating up the Raiders!

It is amazing. Twenty years ago, when I had not begun pre-school I recall sitting in a small dinky apartment in Fort Collins next to brother and dad watching the Broncos play their weekly games.

Even watching sports functions as something that brings people together. My dad, who otherwise is no good in playing ANY sport but watches them all with a passion, would explain how the rules of football work.

Since the eighties, so much has changed with the Broncos.

New uniforms. New logos. New coach. New stadium. Two Super Bowls. And of course, no more John Elway.

Yet the loyalty to the Broncos remains! But we better watch out for dem Chiefs!

As for cricket, seeing that stinker Tauqir Zia always turns my interest in the team off.
