A Real Johnny Nash

Posted on November 9, 2010

The words of the Johnny Nash song, 'There are more Questions than Answers' is the appropriate phrase that can be used to sum up the situation surrounding Zulqarnain Haider after a day of claim and counter claims on Tuesday. Many Pakistan officials and people of influence have spoken out against him, accusing him of turning his back on Pakistan. That was the view of former Pakistan captain Asif Iqb...

The Disappearance of Zulqarnain Haider

Posted on November 8, 2010

Sometimes when I hear a brief headline on a news or sports bulletin on radio or TV, I get a feeling that this is a story that is going to grow and grow. I hope I'm wrong on this and that there is a simple explanation for it all, but I fear this could be another one of those stories. What logical explanation can there be for his disappearance? He must have had a good reason to do a runner, either t...

Can the Kiwis do it?

Posted on November 7, 2010

I have to admit I didn't see this one coming and I'm sure I am not the only one. When I saw the 27/1 on offer at Betfair for a New Zealand win at the end of Day 3, I thought it was a wrong price and had to have a bit of it. With New Zealand at 331/5, I couldn't see any value in a win for India, they were around the 5/2 mark which was a joke really. India were never likely to have enough runs to de...

Same Old

Posted on November 6, 2010

So Andrew Strauss, Alastair Cook, Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood all failed with the bat again. They were bailed out by a KP innings and yet again by the tailenders. So whats new there? Maybe a KP innings compared to the last 18 months. I'm well aware of the fact that we are a team, but that dosen't mean we have to keep on relying on the tail to get our runs. I know it's only the first match and th...

Not so fast Salman

Posted on November 6, 2010

So Salman Butt went round some of the Pakistani TV channels last weekend telling anyone who cared to listen that ICC didn't have a shred of evidence against him, that they were relying on the NOTW video and that the video dosen't incriminate him in any way. Personally, I haven't bothered to bore myself watching the video. Mainly because I'm not convinced that what I would be watching would be the ...

Qantas and Aussie Cricket Team

Posted on November 5, 2010

Aussie pride has taken a right battering over the last few days. Not content with just the cricket team letting the nation down, the national air carrier has now started to embarrass the country as well. Just who is performing the worse at the moment, the national cricket team, or the national airline? One has just lost 7 games on the spin, there is apparently mutiny in the camp as well. The other...

Watching Paint Dry on ‘The Wall’

Posted on November 4, 2010

Over the years we have learnt what to expect when Rahul Dravid is batting. It is never pretty or exhilrating, but it is usually effective. The name,' The Wall' is there for a good reason, Dravid is as solid a batsman as there has been, a real test purist. Today though, Dravid was excruciating to watch. His 104 runs fron 227 balls (strike rate of 45.81) was a gutsy effort, it was typical Dravid, bu...

Michael Clarke for Captain?

Posted on November 3, 2010

Do all those Australians who have recently been calling for Ricky Ponting to be replaced as captain still want to see Michael Clarke take over as skipper for the Ashes after todays disaster? Ok, so maybe thats a bit harsh on Clarke but he did let things slip in the 1 wicket defeat to Sri Lanka, where he wasn't very astute with his bowling chages in my opinion. The pitch obvioulsy took spin given X...

"This is Pakistan being cornered.”

Posted on November 2, 2010

Thats the opinion of Salman Butt about ICC after his and Mohammad Amir's bans were upheld in a hearing in Dubai last weekend. This wasn't their actual hearing into match-fixing, it was an attempt by the players to get their suspensions lifted while the investigations into the alledged match-fixing continues. They have every right to do this, but surely they would have been doing the game of cricke...
