Cricketism:
Pakistan once again gambles for 100 and 50, fails!
-DR. ABDUL

None, obviously,
requires any crash course to understand the simple fact that 100 runs or
above cannot be scored by any batboys without support form the
bowlers and fielders who play mischief in just throwing balls to the bat
and refuse to take catches or stop the ball form rolling to
the boundary line.
General
rule, being practiced by cricket teams is to invoke “give and take” rule
between teams, officially, and let select batboys shine with 100s or
above while bowlers and fielders support them. Even 50 runs is also part
of the rule.
Batboys
need 100s to get chances to endorse products and make money and so the mafias
do the needful to see that the”aspiring” candidates with a bat get
100s by rotation.
The
ongoing Pakistan-South Africa and India-West Indies have proven that
point beyond doubt in their own ways.
India thrashed West Indies both sides, clinching the series
3-1. In
fact, it looks WI batboys do not deserve even 30 over to end their tidings.
They are too weak to bat and too weak to bowl.
Like Misbah, Gayle also thought he is enough for the team and he would just hit
300 runs and win the Indian test.
Both Misbah and Gayle fell so cheap that all their records look fake.
Time is changing and only effective bowlers can make the difference.
It seems
Pakistan is heading for a series defeat in ODI by South Africa.
Pakistani bowlers are not serious enough and their batboys play according a
weak strategy of letting the “next” person to bat.
All they want is a 100 for captain Misbah.
While
India got what it wanted from West Indies in India, Pakistan has been reeling
under the heavy weight of South African bowlers. No Pakistani batboy could
really shine the way they perhaps expected.
Pakistan
bowls first but lets South African make enough runs, including 100 and 5o, but
they don't get the return favor from South Africans . They now play in Dubai
since foreign cricket teams do not come to Pakistan to play. .
Knowing
fully well that they can’t chase down more than 200 runs, Pakistani bowlers
readily offered over 250 runs to South Africans with a couple of 50
plus to some batboys. But Pakistani batboys failed to make any impact against
strict bowling from South Africans.
In the
third ODI, Pakistanis lost 6 wickets even before they get 120 runs. And
they know they are out. SA bowlers were a bit slow because they
want to prolong the match so that Pakistanis don't feel too bad. Pakistan
is capable of restricting SA to 180 runs at the most up to 200, but did not do
that they were focused on 50s for their own batboys.
None
of Pakistani batboys got even 50 this time.
Last time
Pakistan struggled to chase down even a small total below 200 runs.
Misbah was not happy that Pakistan won second ODI without his valuable
contribution.
South
Africans are in mood to concede any free runs to Pakistani batboys and
Pakistani team should read their mind neatly, instead of day dreaming for 100s
and 50s.
They got
50 runs, but Pakistan lost match, series.
Pakistan lost the match and series- they are least bothered about a win. All
they wanted is a couple of 50s on exchange program.
However,
Pakistan is happy that they got two 5s- one for the skipper Misbah in exchange
for one 100 and two 50s.
Pakistanis,
like politicians in that country, do not play for the nation. They play for
themselves , for extra money though endorsements.
PCB
promotes rotten cricketers with bat and ball. .
Do
they really fear god when play mischief or gamble for 50 runs?
Why
not the PCB ask the bowlers to play their full capability and help the batboys
with a meager score to chase down?
Pakistan should play
sensibly with a clear executable plan not to be carried away by bogus 100s for
making money immorally.
Gambling is no good.
Playing
only for wickets and not to pressure the batboys with dot-balls is
a sign of wickedness.
