Proud Pakistani

There's been so much going on with Pakistan these days, that I completely forgot about my own blog!
/* Again*/

Mushy is back to his usual tactics, but finally there is somewhat of a resistance. Working with Dr Awab and other Proud Pakistanis at www.proud-pakistani.com to protest (peacefully) against the mockery of justice in Pakistan, our petition currently has over 1000 signatures.

Bob Woolmer was murdered, we got knocked out of the WC 2007. RIP Bob, and no other words on this subject.

I've been busy reading all the new blogs from Pakistan that keep popping up everyday and they are all amazing.

Also picked up 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist' by Mohsin Hamid today. The first 3 chapters are amazing. More details to come shortly( given my posting frequency, i wouldn't hold my breath if I were you......)


Off,

Shoaib : Hotboxed

So Shoaib Akhtar does it again. I'm sure many of us remember the charas filled video of him singing 'Aate Jaate Khoobsurat' with doobie in his hand.

This time, He's been sent home for 'substance abuse' . Based on following Shoaib's performances for the past 10 years, I can safely say that Shoaib, Asif and Rana are incapable of procuring and administering performance enhancing drugs on their own, without any medical officer finding out / helping them.

Shoaib had a private Doctor on his payroll, makes you wonder why he would need to hire a doctor when the Pakistan Cricket Board pays for all medical fees.

Here's my take on the situation : Everyone's shady, including the PCB and Shoaibee, so really nothing coming out of this one. Maybe a 1-2 year ban at the most. But a reputation that further tarnished.

Like Warne, all these guys should have blamed it on their mothers too. He definitely won that year for 'Smartest Grownup with toddler hairstyle'

Shoaib and Asif have already made it on the Wikipedia list for controversial Nandrolone abuse cases.


More later sometime.

Third Base coach

Did you know that there is a coach for the third base in baseball.

I'm assuming there's one for first,second and the home base also..there must be some coaches for ensuring that people can catch properly with a glove that twice the size of their hand.

If anyone has ever been to a baseball game, you'll quickly realize how its a completely overstaffed game for people with really short attention spans. I went some time ago, and was completely bored out of my mind. Super slow, golf is more exciting to watch.

I'd rather go to the circus and see some real clowns.
