Painful
defeat
Before every cricket match
between Pakistan and India, almost everyone in the country becomes an expert on
cricket. TV channels show young boys and old men (who have never played
cricket), as well as girls and women of all ages, giving their views on
Pakistan’s superiority over India and all of them proclaiming that Pakistan
would win. After the match, they forget their predictions and blame the players
for losing.
One of them (Ms Firdous Ashiq
Awan, advisor to PM Imran Khan) said that the team would have won if Hasan Ali
had not been selected. I request the learned prime minister to immediately make
her the minister of sports and ask the PCB and the team management to take her
advice before they play in future matches.
