The Bizarre Selection of Pakistani cricket Squad
The story gets creepier by the day. It’s like in the absence of PCB from international news the Pakistan cricket board people sit down to discuss what further plan of action they can implement to make a comeback and that too with a bang. Sometimes, one feels sorry for the average Pakistani cricket fan that has to go through so much pain and agony, only to end up watching hockey on national television.
PCB’s recent stunt that sent ripples down the cricketing community in Pakistan is the bizarre selection of players for the upcoming ODI and T20 matches against England. With the exception of perhaps http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ijaz-Butt-c64128. Without further adieu, let us not delay any further the ground breaking revelation of the players selected for this tour.
Shoaib Akhtar, yes, the Pakistani heartthrob that has even the Goddess Medusa drooling over his s*x appeal has been selected for the match. The logic behind this absolutely inexplicable choice is that his s*x appeal will cause all the women of England to rush inside the cricket stadium and save the cricketing fans the embarrassment of watching the Rawalpindi Express who like all Pakistani trains gives an optical illusion of being lightning fast. After a few liposuction surgeries and still all that blubber he carries, it is in fact intriguing how he even manages to jog to deliver a bowl.
The next selection is one that leaves Pakistani cricket fans gnaw at their faces, pull their hair out, and gouge their own eye balls for it is beyond bizarre, it is preposterous. Mohammad Hafeez is not new to International cricket. This fine young son of a gun has been given a chance every time the team wants http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Dent-c41093 in their batting line up. And he does just that. He comes to the crease, plays an absolutely unimpressive shot normally involving a lazy cut; with little foot work and gets himself out. Hence, by now all fans of this cricket team have become psychics, since they can predict the future of this fine young lad in every ODI he plays. It seems as if PCB needs the services of Paul, the Octopus to help predict the performance patterns of their players, for the PCB themselves have a policy of hiring the visually impaired and the deaf, who normally suffer from verbal diarrhea. Mr. Hafeez has a batting average of 18.59 in ODIs and he’s not the best all rounder Pakistan has seen in recent past. So the decision to include him in the Pakistan side is just incredible. It’s amazing. Only the PCB is capable of doing something as spectacular as this.
There is more, yes. Younis Khan, a player who formed the backbone of Pakistan’s middle order batting, with a batting average of 32.57 has not been cleared by the PCB. Has he been accused of taking steroids? Has he been accused of riding on Ijaz Butt? One can never truly find out, but we do know this. Despite his clownish antics on and off the field, he is a cricketer who has contributed much to the Pakistan side. He definitely deserves a place more so than Mohammad Hafeez.
As for the Pakistan team’s performance in ODIs against England, one can never be sure, but one thing cricketing fans in Pakistan do know, that is regardless of a win or a loss they will take Mr. Blubber Butt down soon. In his presence, the cricket team has turned into a team of mascots cheerleading in a stadium.
