Bite Your Tongue
By Guest Blogger • Sep 3rd, 2010 • Category: Features • 10 CommentsIt has happened not for the first time that allegations were leveled against Pakistan cricket team. The history reveals many a incident when the players from this part of the world were brought to book. Whatever the allegations they might be, it is evident they had their severe implications in one way or the other.
The recent whistle blower who unearthed certain accusations against few of Pakistani players, the accusations whose truthfulness is yet to be proven, has brought a huge criticism from the cricket lovers from across the world. It is beyond a rational man’s comprehension what has made people reach to the conclusion without solid evidences at hand. Leaving rest of the world aside, it made me resentful to hear the comments from both the local media and the masses at large across the country that they just failed to understand the sensitivity of the issue. This piece of writing is no advocacy to prove the players’ innocence but to make at least the fellow countrymen realise that conclusions drawn in haste are often misleading. Until the probe into the matter brings the facts to the fore, it is unjustifiable to pour out the wrath which may tarnish the image of the country.
It is unfortunate to see the dogmatic approach of our people towards recent allegations. This certainly depicts lack of patience prevalent in our society and the media gives an impetus to this emotional aspect. This fumbling attitude serves no good for the country. Soon the news break of possible betting in the test at Lords was revealed by the foreign media, our local papers and channels took no exceptions in propagating what was still to be justified. The second and unfortunate glimpse of impatience was reflected in an orthodox way when angry crowds of people were witnessed making caricatures and chanting slogans against those whom they time and again keep In their high esteem.
If the match-fixing scam proves in line with the accusations, there is no reason the convicted players are not penalised in accordance with the laws governing the game of cricket. Likewise, the punishment should be exemplary in a way that no player ever dares to go astray. This is the point where nobody should have any leniency.
But now as the things stand, leveling accusation does not make anyone a convict. It is the time we pray the things go in favour of the players.

Amazing,how much proof is required? Now that they have been charged with corruption and suspended from playing,all the authorities must be wrong!after all how could someone predict something which has not yet occured?may be mr mazar is a, pir?also mr ijaz ahmed seems to have a spring in his step,i remember seeing him being layed out with a drip, in a police station after being detained by police for issuing dud cheque he seems fine now, even managed to run around lords cricket ground five times after the days play at lords test match,oh yes!he’s related to mr salim malik who anyone involved in cricket knows the depth of the man’s integrity,corrupt to the core,you may be able to do or get away with such things in pakistan but you’re dealing with people who mostly abide by the law.This is England janab, now face the wrath of the law, about time!ban for life all three.
More revelations about pakistan cricket team,this sunday,how long do i keep biting my tongue?at this rate i won’t have a tongue to bite!.
Question: Why all these CURSES — Only on these THREE (SALMAN BUTT, MUHAMMAD AMIR & MUHAMMAD ASIF)?
Ans: As they all three were part of the ceremony therein all the team players Put Hands on Holy Quran with firm Commitment — “We shall never participate in any Bet Activity” —before last Australian Tour.
@Adnan Arshad Mansoori,Sir,these people are and will suffer the wrath of ALLAH,UNSEEN JUSTICE is taking place.
Without Ambiguity — INDEED.
If these players did cheat and take bungs to lose and betray their country, I hope God disgraces and humiliates them. If guilty, they are mal’oon.
The nafrat and ruswai heaped on the watan once more is unbearable, especially at such a time with floods on the one-hand and the countless external enemies operating within and without on the the other. These ‘players’ have no decency and no shame.
People should pelt them with rotten eggs and smelly shoes. They should be taught a lesson they never forget. Most of them (except Omar Gul and Afridi) are so hideous, no amount of bungs, rishwat and wealth is going to improve their looks’ or personalities. They are an embarrassment and should just wear paper bags on their heads.
We have some beautiful people in Pakistan but most of the those in the public eye are bloody ugly! When will Pakistan learn some PR and marketing?
Instead of getting the badsoorat, na-laik and illiterate nephews of the PCB or iliiterate, jahil tattoos from street corners of backward muhallas, they should get some able, competent, skilled and good-looking people whom we can be proud of.
Why can’t paindoo Pakistanis get a clue in the twenty-first century? I and other overseas Pakistanis are fed up of trying to promote this country, to defend it against its haters and detractors when most of the people in Pakistan don’t do anything for it and present such a poor image of it. I was never ashamed to be Pakistani in my life but in recent weeks, I’m getting there.
The paindoo-ness, the ugly basta*ds on TV from Pakistan, the ugly, na-laek unparha thief that they have elected as President who can’t speak and dressed like cr@p, the shi* ambassadors like Wajid Shamsul-Hassan that they send overseas who have teeth missing, who chew gum/paan during interviews, who are ugly and badly dressed and speak the most disgusting English, it leaves you shaking with rage.
What the hell is wrong with Pakistan. Other countries, they put their best people forward (intellectually, aesthetically etc) but not Pakistan, oh no! They only get the most down and out people in the country.
