patriot Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Who thinks so ? I strongly feel sporting fortunes of that nation ( and most in general ) mirror it's political and economic health. Pakistan cricket ( and hockey) , were at their zenith, when the state of Pakistan the country was at it's prime in the 1980's, during the Zia Ul Haq regime. Cold war was at its height and American dollars were being ruthlessly milked by Pakistan in support of the Afghan Jihad against Soviets. The tide has turned now for good, it seems. I dare say, Pakistan the country may seize to exist in it's current size and form and will go through hell fire and brimstone before a major geopolitical change happens. In parallel, Pakistan cricket will sink deeper and deeper IMO. I just don't see any ray of hope.
Vikas Bhatt Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Seconded. The country will break into pieces wide open in due time due to various militant-political pressures all around and there won't be a single entity left to represent and play for.
Roshanrocks Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 no they are still a force in T20, dark horses in ODI, test matches - :no:
Jadoo Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Yes for sure, if your country is in an absolute sh*t-hole, than what else can you expect from their cricket team. Rather than even thinking about cricket, each and every paki should be focussed on sorting out their country rather than contemplating on playing crikcet.
saneindian Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Not really. Not till we whitewash them in a test, odi and t20 series
vvvslaxman Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 They are unpredictable team. Sometimes they will lose by an innings 200 runs. Next match they will surprise you by losing just by 200 runs.
Mamu Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Not really. Not till we whitewash them in a test, odi and t20 series We had a perfect chance for that last time. What do we do.. Win the 1st Test by a Huge Margin and the Powers to Be -- decide - enough and make flat tracks and the next 2 end in a draw. I am furious at those morons
ucilite Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 yes, pak cricket is dead. yes, the counrty is a **** hole. now could you get over your obession of pakistan?
CSK Fan Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Not really. Not till we whitewash them in a test, odi and t20 series Dude, we havent even managed whitewashed Zimbabwe or Kenya. Does that mean they are good cricketing nations?
vvvslaxman Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Dude' date=' we havent even managed whitewashed Zimbabwe or Kenya. Does that mean they are good cricketing nations?[/quote'] We did whitewash Zimbabwe once. Back in the 90s. Around the same time Pakistan became the only country to lose a home series to Zimboks :cantstop: .
Pak_Forever Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 lol at this thread :hysterical: stupid thread with childish comments....not like its surprising. :winky:
patriot Posted April 1, 2010 Author Posted April 1, 2010 ^. yeah mate. This is an April fool's joke. How can Pakistan be a pariah terrorist country ? Everything is thriving in Pakistan. Pakistan is standing on its own feet after 63 years of independence. Pakistan is not dependent on foreign bheeek for its day to day survival after 63 years of independence. Flowers are blooming everywhere in Pakistan especially in the tribal belt of frontier province, which has become the world's no.1 tourist spot. Pigs have started to fly.
Pak_Forever Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 :hysterical: here again. You just further proved me ryt. I will stick with "stupid thread and silly comments."
The Outsider Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Useless thread. If someone wants to discuss the political situation in Pakistan there is an entire Politics section.
