http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482, Archangel Gabriel versus Salman Butt, Lucifer and Mohammad Asif, his disciple
The recent match-fixing scandal may have divided the Pakistani camp. However, one thing is for sure, in all of this muddle, Shahid Afridi - the man who had been the laughing stock for many following his ball biting incident - has emerged as the Archangel Gabriel for the Pakistani side.
He came, he saw and he pushed aside Salman Butt who is now being held responsible by his teammates along with fellow partner in crime Mohammad Asif for instigating other players to indulge in spot-fixing. Salman Butt has turned, in a matter of days, into the devil’s advocate from being the saviour of Pakistan test cricket with people even going so far to equate him as one of the best captains that Pakistan has ever had.
Whoever said cricket had gone predictable must think again. Pakistan has not only been at the heart of crickets greatest achievements, but most importantly, their side has been an awfully entertaining lot for the world of cricket. From http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 has been a roller-coaster ride.
All those, who were of the view that Pakistan cricket should be banned are most certainly out of their minds. Pakistan has been the saviour of cricket. It has made an otherwise bland game into a fun-filled dramatic soap opera, with an evil mother-in-law at the helm of affairs, giving h**l to the poor little daughter-in-laws. Well, one thing that we know for certain is that Mr http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ijaz-Butt-c64128 is perhaps the most perfect suitor for the role of the mother-in-law that the Patron-in-Chief of the PCB could have found.
Not only does he have the sweetest disposition, he knows how to be nasty and has a knack for contradicting his own statements. This spot-fixing fiasco is simply a conspiracy against Pakistan. Nothing more. Nothing less. Pakistan was merely attempting to highlight the fact that there are certain players who despite their eccentricities are taken for granted, while a certain few are glorified, when it could turn out that the latter could be the disciples of Lucifer.
The glorified captain of the Pakistan cricket team has proved to be the fallen angel for the Pakistan cricket team and has caused shame for the entire country, not to mention bringing a bad name to Pakistan cricket which was already hanging by a tightened noose, and instead of bringing it some much needed relief has resulted in Pakistan team scrapping its way to retain its Test status.
The world should not be surprised. The ICC needs to take equal blame for the way things have turned out. But more importantly, it could be a defining moment in Mohammad Amir’s career if he is cleared of any wrong doings in the report of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Scotland-c756 Yard. Mohammad Amir, will not only have this memory as one of the worst nightmares, but would do everything possible to regain his lost glory and name.
As for Shahid Afridi, he has turned out to be one of the most unlikely saviours of Pakistan cricket, and now has the responsibility of taking Pakistan Cricket back on track, a team which at present seems to be in icy waters with hypothermia setting in. In another development, Kevin Pietersen and Dimitri Mascarenhas have both acted like complete morons, by putting up expletive comments on twitter against the English Cricket Board.
“Yep.. Done for rest of summer!! Man of the World Cup T20 and dropped from the T20 side too.. Its a #%^&!! http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Surrey-c851 have signed me for l,” explodes Kevin Pietersen on twitter.
While Mascarenhas wrote, “Geoff miller is a complete #$%&.. He had no clue what he is doing.. %&^%..”
It seems that cricket has its share of court jesters, but it would not be surprising if any of them would turn out to be the very saviour that their teams are craving for.
