Pakistan Cricket

By Amin Rehman • Jan 4th, 2010 • Category: Features

Cricket and Pakistan have always been together since our independence. The progress has always been topsy turvy like economy of a  country or inexplicable geomatric graphs which i never understood as student. Cricket has always been in my life and the passion started when i was quite young. My father used to play cricket for Railways and I [...]

By Rai Azlan • Nov 15th, 2009 • Category: Features

It was the only title in my mind while I was linking all the moments and incidents that took place in Pakistani cricket team and PCB during, and after T20 world cup.

By Ayaz Ali • Sep 16th, 2009 • Category: Entertainment

By Talal Hussain Malik • Jan 28th, 2009 • Category: Misc

The terrible news is that Younis Khan has been named the new captain for the Pakistan cricket team. Quite a shocking move by the PCB. PCB has been making the like moves over the years, it made captains who actually didn’t deserve a place even for the 12th man, let alone the playing eleven, and [...]
