He cited the example of Shoaib Akhtar’s dramatic IPL debut, when Shoaib took four wickets in a hostile spell to consign the Delhi Daredevils to defeat. “The league touched new heights in popularity when Shoaib Akhtar played his first match for the Kolkata Knight Riders as the Eden Gardens was jam-packed,” he said. “Indian people like to watch Pakistani players in action and they are popular there as well.”
:haha::haha: Nobody gives a **** about them. I guess he is just trying to save his job in this bad economy :wink:

Can anyone think of the impact of the absence of Afridi on Deccan Chargers? While he was hired to hit a few sixes by the Chargers, the guy has been propelling numerous wind mills in town. Studies indicate that he generates an average of 10 kilo watt per swing (per ball faced) and is the prime source of power for many rural areas in Andhra. Or think for a sec, the impact of the absence of Shoaib Akhtar ? Akhtar has been admitted to every hospital in Kolkatta and has done a stellar job in motivating patients to recover from serious illnesses. Ram Lal who was admitted to the Kolkatta govt hospital two years back had not made any progress for many months. Doctors had given up on him. "I saw this toad walk into the hospital during the IPL. He remained in the hospital for many weeks. When i heard that he aspired to be a fast bowler I knew that day that my chances of making it were infinitely better. He was the man of the hospital, who inspired many dead bodies to start walking", says Ram Lal. Or the effect of Younis Selfless Khan ? He refused to captain Rajasthan Royals citing lack of autonomy as the reason. The selfish Shane Warne eventually took over the mantle and led them to the Championship title. The list is endless. IPL will likely announce its shutdown next week.

:hysterical: @ bumper. Afridi can try his luck in a 1-1 over game, he may come good there. The Pakistani batsmen inspire none but Sohail Tanvir and Umar Gul were good. That said I don't think India will miss Pakistan players. I'd be glad to see Asif and Akthar not turn up again. Can't believe the druggies were given a chance in the first place to play in India.

IPL surely is trying to globalize itself, but the fact still remains to attract as many Indians as possible. I mean with a population of 1 billion, if IPL is successful in gathering say 30% of the total population as their permanent fans, it would ensure IPL packed stadia and a huge line up of sponsorers. As long as Indian cricketers feature in the IPL, our crowd will be more than happy to attend IPL games regardless of anyone missing the boat (in this case/year: pakistani players).

Padosi's are so delirious....:hysterical::hysterical: But, if the pakistani players play in this IPL, IPL popularity may go down. In the past 6 months after IPL, there have been a lot of terror attacks and I don't think people are going to appreciate if Paki players are playing in IPL.

nothing wrong in what Younis said... Relax guys. Younis has remarked correctly. if Afridi plays in IPL next edition, he would swing his bat so violently that the fans sitting in the stadium would be thrown out by the sheer force of the wind power of his shoulder and the resultant bat speed . so, Younis is right. let the respective franchisees save their fans instead of losing them for ever.

It is perfectly defensible. We should do this across the board. You cant grant concession for Pakistani employees regardless of their social status. I want ESPN India to fire Wasim Akram. (Though' date= Akram is one Pakistani player i respect immensely) I want to see reputed Pakistani players appear on Geo TV and explain it to their public what terrorism is costing their country. The higher the status of the individuals impacted, the stronger will be the message. Ofcourse, all this could cause more bitterness among the Pakistanis. But its not like our diplomatic relations are any better otherwise. I have a feeling that our govt has had enough and BCCI is also on board. We will soon see measures in place to constrict Pakistan in all ways. Hit them where it hurts and hard!
I said it back then, Indian govt is following suit today. Good move to keep Akram out. Nothing personal against Wasim (whom i respect immensely), but this is about "making a statement"...
