The Journey
I know its a bit late but I thought I should thank Pakistan Cricket Team and all the players especially Shahid Afridi and the fastest bowler in the world Shoaib Akhter. Since the start of the Cricket World Cup 2011, Pakistan was never considered a favorite to reach even the semi-finals. The win against hot favorites Sri Lanka was termed as a fluke, a shy of good luck. Even Pakistan finishing on top of Group A did not get too much of mention.
The Pakistan Cricket Team for World Cup 2011
We did suffer a huge loss to New Zealand and this really got all the attention that it could have gotten and possibly even more than that and people even forgot the facts that we were under dogs, we had not played any international matches on our home grounds for the last 2 years, it was Pakistan’s first match at Pallekele, our past wins were taken as if we had no efforts of our own and just share luck and then there was one Kamran Akmal. How can we forget him, the official black goat of Pakistan Cricket Team, as he takes all the negative energies sent to the team directly on to himself. I wonder what source he has got behind him that he is still in the team :@.
Pakistan (Shahid Afridi’s Pakistan) beat Australia and ended its 34 match winning streak, which began after the defeat from Wasim Akram’s Pakistan back in World Cup 1999. Even after such a remarkable performance the due credit was not given to Pakistan, instead bias and blind commentators like Ian Chappel either criticized his own team for the loss or started picking on Afridi and Pakistan Team like a five year old cry baby. He seem to have a problem with everything that Pakistan do, well guess what Mr. Chappel we have reinvented Cricket the new way, the Pakistani Way, the green way. So either you learn this new cricket or shut up and go home. With this win we topped Group A, but did not catch the eyes of any one.
Then came the quarter final against the West Indies and we proved yet again that when we are ONE, there is NO ONE ELSE. We made a statement out of the West Indies and silenced our critics. Even then the credit was not properly awarded to us and it was said that it was more due to the West Indians’ disability to play spin then Pakistan’s efforts to lay the perfect trap for the West Indians and trap them and cruse and storm to semis. 
Thank You
I never had high hopes with Pakistan, just always wanted to give it their best when ever they played and to reach this far in the World Cup is just more than enough for me and instead of putting more pressure on the team by associating more hopes with the team, I would like to say Thank you to them for making us proud, it is all their efforts due to which we are still in the hunt and we are bragging on all forums that how we will make minced meat out of the Indians in the Semi Final at Mohali on March 30, 2011.
People please keep in mind that the pitches and the crowd are in India’s hands, they have been better in batting, bowling and fielding then Pakistan in the last 2-3 years and the Pakistanis are the ultimate under dogs in this match. Having said all that I just expect Pakistan to play like Pakistan, play with their heart and let the mind follow your heart. We got all the motivations we need: the attack on Sri Lankan Cricket Team, No international cricket for more than 2 years, the hosting of the world cup being taken away, the humiliation of the Pakistani players at the last IPL auction and the moment to re-write history and beat India in a world cup for the first time.
Go Team, Go Green, Go Go Pakistan Team
Long Live Pakistan and Long Live Pakistan Cricket
We are with you, just play the best that you can play on that day, may Allah guide you to success, Aameen
Match Fixing: 4th ODI English Bowling this Time

English Bowling this Time
During the time of writing this post, the fourth ODI between was being played between England and Pakistan at Lords, London, England. Pakistan till the 47th over gad only managed to put 223 runs on the board and James Anderson was being praised by each and every commentator for his line and length and his remarkable change of pace. But then came the 49th over and James Anderson sat out to prove all the commentators and their comments wrong. He gave away 21 runs in his final over of which 20 came of the bat of Abdul Razzaq. The same Abdul Razzaq who Anderson had tied done in his previous over and only 4 runs were scored in the entire over. Then what the hell went wrong this time around?? I can give you a hint “Spot Fixing”. Over number 49 was fixed by the English Team and James Anderson.
Then we come to Over number 50, which was bowled by Tim Bresnan, this was also his last over. before this over he had only given away 41 runs in his 9 overs bowled at 4.5 runs per over. The Pakistan players have found it hard to get him away all summer. But through the history books out of the window cause he too went for exactly 21 runs, just like the previous over by Anderson. Now do you think thats a coincidence? if you do let me give you some more details. Like the last over 20 of the 21 runs came from the bat of Abdul Razzaq and 1 came from Umar Gul just like last time. To make things more interesting Gul was allowed a single on the first ball, even the power play field restrictions failed to stop the single and further more all of the next five balls were dispatched to the boundaries. Clear indications that Over number 50 bowled by England was fixed by Bresnan and the English team.
ICC has been carrying out investigations based on stories from the media, well I would like the ICC to carry out an investigation against the English Team and players based on my suspicion and based on my article and I too am providing this information before the match, i.e: before the end of the match.
Where is that Mazhar Mahmood now. whats the matter can’t use the camera against your own team? Or is it that no one is paying you to do so, otherwise you would have needed no invitations to crack the story and News of the World would have been the first one to break the news. Whats the matter Mr. Editor not getting even 50 pounds to do so, thats why you are not breaking the news?
Why would they fix it? Well in the last two overs 42 runs were scored, which took the score to 265 runs which made it a fighting and challenging total. So that now every one would watch the match, anticipating that they would get to see a nail bitter. Who would benefit from, who else the Sponsors of the Series NatWest and Sky Sports.
Match Fixing: 3rd ODI Strauss, Wright and Morgan in the Spot Light

This Time its England
The third ODI between Pakistan and England was played on the 17th of September, 2010 at The Oval. England were the firm favourites to win this match due to the following reasons:
- They were the Home Team
- They had been playing (and comprehensively beating) Pakistan the entire summer, first in the tests, then in the T20′s and now in the first 2 ODI’s.
- The needed just 1 win to pack the series
- Pakistan was a team amidst Fixing controversies, for which they were proven guilty by the English Media and the International Media even before the start of any investigations (Hats of to all the Media Giants and especially News of the World
). - Pakistan was playing without its recent stars.
- Pakistan’s batting line was weak as always.
- Pakistan had no wins behind.
- Pakistan had no support behind them
- Pakistan was playing away from home (Thanks to the Indian Terror Attacks at Lahore on the Sri Lankan Team)
England started off well as always. Pakistan has no answer to Strauss as always. Then all of sudden he missed one and lost his wicket (Suspicious). Eoin Morgan then came in and with form that he was in all summer no expected him to find the fielder out in the deep perfectly (Suspicious). Luke Wright had been playing a classic innings but suddenly he started slogging with 2 wickets in hand (Suspicious). Don’t believe me take a look at the first and third wickets falling yourself and decide.
If that was not enough the Umpires also did their level best to help England win or they too were part of this entire fixing . Yet against all odds Pakistan won the match due to the 6 wickets by Umar Gul and and all round. team performance. Everyone was backing everyone else. For News of the World Editor Colin Myler, I have just one request, please make sure that Mazhar Mahmood does not have any hidden videos about you and/or your family. Mazhar Mahmood should be tried in court for disturbing people’s privacy and twisting the facts. Waiting for Scotland Yard’s action or better yet The Chief Justice of Pakistan should take action against the Suspicious English players and against Azhar Majeed.
The sponsors NatWest and Sky Sports have mad no returns on the series and it is in the best interest to keep the series alive and what better way to do it then Match/Spot Fixing. Their role should not be out of questioning as well
This is the way to retaliate in a media war. Long Live Islam, Long Live Pakistan, Long Live the People of Pakistan and Long Live Pakistan Cricket. World Cup 2011 is ours. Indians are only good for IPL, ICL and Bollywood. The people of Pakistan are firmly behind the players. In the words of Jawwad Ahmed “Tum jeeto ya haro suno, humain tum se piyar hai“. Waiting for more Pakistanis to join me
Pakistan: The Last Stand Against Israel

Just in case the video gets taken down, I would like to summarize what was described in the video and give a reference to the context as well. We all know that we are living in the end of times. Muslims and others who believe in the one true god are awaiting the arrival of Imam Al-Mehdi where as the people on the side of Satan are waiting for the Dajjal (The Antichrist, The False Messiah).
The Dajjal in order to completely deceive the people, must rule from Jerusalem as The True Messiah (Jesus Christ) did. This can not happen until and unless Masjid Al-Aqsa gets demolished (by itself, and for that to happen with ease, the base of the Masjid have been dug up, making the Masjid as weak as possible, so that the tiniest of incident/accident can bring It down) and Israel has expanded her boundaries from the River of Egypt to the River Euphrates (i.e. Biblical Boundaries)
But Israel can not do it if there is an Islamic Nuclear Power like Pakistan in its way, so the 9/11 Satanic ritual paved the way not to attack Afghanistan, but it in reality it was to attack Pakistan. The agenda is to have civil war break out in Pakistan so that the US could step in to save the world from a Nuclear Threat, who better to do it than the infamous Xe Services (Black Water).
People of Pakistan, please stay united in this time of need, cause United WE STAND (and they fall). I would also like to bring the attention of people to the recent floods in Pakistan, ones that have never before been seen, just like the Haiti Earthqake, TWA Flight 800 and countless others that could not surface. Such incidents, said to have been carried out by HAARP Technology, lets see if the people out their can find the truth

Handling a Carbon dioxide based Fire Extinguisher
Posted by: Muhammad Ammad Saleem on: April 25, 2010

- 3 Comments
This Saturday had a fire drill at the office. Though it was not a full fledged fire drill, the basic purpose of the drill was to get the attendants familiar with a Carbon dioxide based fire extinguisher and how to use it.
Carbon dioxide Based Fire Extinguisher
We were told by the instructor never to hold the extinguisher from its mouth cause since it contained frozen CO2 it was really easy to get our hand frozen on the mouth and there by easily get our skin damaged, while trying to get the hand separated. We were instructed to use the base of the cylinder itself in order to control the direction of the out flowing foam.
Steps
- Remove the pin from the junction of the handle at the top of the extinguisher.
- Hold the cylinder firmly.
- Point in the direction of the fire.
- Press the handle.
Though the above things are simple but another motive behind all this was to get people use fire extinguishers when any situations of sort arrive, rather than resorting to other means or panicking. This drill was just another step towards changing the routine mentality and get people to follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s)

Monday March 29, 2010, Muhammad Yousuf (formerly known as Yousuf Youhana) announced his retirement from International Cricket. His decision came after the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) had put him under an indefinite ban. Although both former and current cricketers are regarding his decision as an emotional one and both cricketers and the general public are also anticipating a come back to International Cricket after some time.
Regardless of what happens in the coming times, there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Muhammad Yousuf is one of the best middle order batsman of all times.

- The first Pakistani to have scored most runs in a calendar year.
- 4th Best Middle Order Test Batsman of All time and the Best Test Batsman from 2001 till 2006
- Who can forget the stunning performances at Sharjah.

We will Alwasy Remeber the Class and Elegance that Was Muhammad Yousuf
The Rising Pakistan – Lets Remind Ourselves Who We Are
Posted by: Muhammad Ammad Saleem on: December 29, 2009
On December28, 2009 the people of Pakistan were showing their grief and sorrow on what had happened on Ahura-e-Muhharam with the Great Imam Hussain and his proud followers. People had gathered in the form of a procession and not any ordinary but a procession whose participants had no differences among themselves, they were just Muslims and ready to lay down their lives in the name of Allah (SWT) and Islam, following on the path lead by the Great Imam.
The people showed the world the Muslims are not only united, but they also remember how to stand in the way of any un-just ruler, so the so called “Terrorists” (for me they are hired henchmen) resolved that this is the perfect time to strike. The people of Pakistan once again paid for a being the part of such a war that is not their own.
This is the war of the US, who seeks to further extend its global dominance and in the way there stands only one Super Power (a Sleeping Super Power, a Sleeping Islamic Super Power) and it is without any doubt Pakistan. People must be surprised at the claim I have made I have strong reasons to back it up. Lets analyze what Pakistan has that makes it so special and fearful to the forces of Kufr:
- The world’s fifth largest Copper reserves in Baluchistan
- The Thar Coal Field in Sindh is the world’s largest coal field. Pakistan posses the worlds largest Coal reserves in the world after the US. The 175 billion tonnes of coal are the equivalent of 618 billion barrels of crude oil.
- Pakistan possesses 25.1 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of proven gas reserves. Pakistan today has highest number of compressed natural gas (CNG)-run vehicles in the world.
- It is being termed as the “Energy Corridor” between Iran and China.
- Pakistan has developed an advanced tactical ballistic missile program along side nuclear weapons.
- Pakistan has managed to develop a basic space programme by the creation of the ‘Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO).
- Pakistan has also developed an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) otherwise known as a drone named the ‘Uqaab’.
- Pakistan produces over 21 million metric tons of wheat, more than all of Africa (20 million) and nearly as much as all of Latin America (24 million metric tons).
- Pakistan is the worlds largest producer of ghee (Clarified Butter), 2ndrd largest producer of Okra vegetables, 4th largest producer of Apricot, Cotton, Goat’s Milk and Mangos, 5th largest producer of Milk, Onion and Sugar Cane, 6th largest producer of Date Palm and the 7th largest producer of Fresh tropical fruit and Sesame Seed. largest producer of Chickpeas, Buffalo Meat and Milk.
- The 6th Largest Army in the World.
- The Only Islamic Nuclear Power
- The Only Country to answer Israel’s challenge of producing a corner shot gun.
- The Only country capable of producing fighter planes
- The only country to hold 3 World Cups simultaneously
- The current T20 Champions
- The youngest ever test cricketer belongs to Pakistan
- Our Penalty Corner specialist is in the Guinness Book of World Records
The above are just a glimpse of what the Giant when somewhat awake has done. Now let us take a look at some of the losses that we have suffered and yet we have achieved such feats, that the world looks at us with astonishment rather than pity.
Pakistan is not a nation of quitters and just show you the light, please have look at the following:
So why are we in the mess, that we are in. Well its simple, the people of Pakistan have forgotten the true objectives of Pakistan. It was (and still is) the responsibility of the people of Pakistan to present to the world a system that would free the world from the clutches of Capitalism, Communism, Dictatorship and Democracy.
Pakistan needs just two things
- Islamic System of Ruling
- A great Leader
The purpose of this article is not to give hope, but remind us all that we have been down and out before but we have always made a come back and each time the come back has been stronger and more powerful than ever leaving all our critics speechless.
I pray that this time when we make a come back it is under the true light of Islam and its not only the come back of Pakistan as a nation, but the come back of a Global Dominance of Islam.
We fail not when we fall down, but when we fail to get back up and it has not happened so far and Insha Allah it will never happen.
My Blog is Fabulous
Posted by: Muhammad Ammad Saleem on: October 18, 2009
Well some people may be surprised with the title, but yes there is someone in this world who thinks this way. And I am very glad that I came across this person. Intricate Zone believes has that my blog is fabulous and was nominated for the award and for the proof here is the award

Okay so looks like I will have to disclose five obsessions of mine, but I do not think I have that many so would just include things that can not really be said my obsessions, so here I go:
- Thirst for knowledge
- Well its hard not to be affected by the events taking place around us, these events make me strive more and more to seek for the truth.
- We are all aware of whats happening around us, the important thing is to know why is it happening around us and why Muslims are the only target.
- My eye opener was The Arrivals Series (at the time of writing this link was functional).

GHQ Gun Battle

For so many days there was nothing I thought happening around me that I thought needed me to raise my voice on. But yesterday an incident took place the GHQ of Pakistan Army in Islamabad was attacked. A sad incident and an incident that deserves a strong reaction. But this is not the point of this article. The people who attacked were in military uniforms themselves. Immediately after the attack the TTP (Tehrek-e-Talibaan Pakistan) claimed the responsibility.
Now for the rest of the article please keep in mind the above information. The TTP immediately claimed the responsibility. It was always expected. Now just imagine if there were no such group like the TTP in that case the responsibility would have been taken up by Al-Qaeeda and imagine if there were no group like Al-Qaeeda and the TTP then, this responsibility would have been diverted towards Afghanistan or Iraq (if they had not already been attacked) but since they have been attacked the only other country would have been Iran. The point that I am trying to clarify here is that do not be deceived by names, behind all the names and groups there is only one source, there is only one group whose interests are fulfilled by shedding the blood of Muslims and this group is the US. trying to establish its new world order.
Whenever the US wants to take over any country the following are the strategies:
- If the US is not a friend it will
- Try to force sanctions on it.
- Blame the country for Terrorism.
- Blame the country for Nuclear proliferation.
- Try to force democracy on to that country.
- If the country is a friend of the US, thats when the US plays an interesting game:
- First place their own selected agents as rulers.
- Then it takes over the finances of the country, using IMF and World Bank.
- Then it spreads chaos and mayhem in the country through financial means and now recently using security means (like terrorist activities) and thus people who are capable and well educated leave the country and the people who are left have little or no ability to judge between what is right or wrong.
Pakistan is being forced to go through the last two steps. The people are suffering from the worst financial and security crisis. And the people are trying to leave the country. If you look at the steps that I have described above you will see that this formula is only applied to Muslim Countries, you know why because they do not see us as countries they see as Muslims and though times have changed the game plan is the same: “Divide and Rule“. let us look at the divisions that they have created among Muslims:
- From one State (Caliphate/Outtoman Empire) to 57 Countries
- From Countries came Nationalism
- With Nationalism came Patriotism not towards the one and only flag of Islam but to their respective flags.
- Then came the division among sects
- and so on
Has this division stopped? Not at all take a look around currently in Pakistan they are trying to create a divide between the army and the people and the government. In order to achieve it the government is making policies that are against people’s will and the army is shown beating old people in videos. Please be aware that this is the age of great deception and seeing is not believing any more. The attack that took place yesterday was carried out in army uniforms, so can we conclude the army attacked itself? No not at all. And we must nor forget the Swat Girl Flogging video that turned out to be false as well.
So people please wake up, there is no terrorist group except the US and no matter who is killed wounded or captured they are all Muslims, because they see us all as Muslims and they want to keep us divided. Our Lands divided, our Armies divided, Our people put against one another in the name of the self created War Against Terror. We are one Ummah, one Nation (can be testified from the Holy Quran) and we follow One God (Allah SWT), One Prophet (The Last and the Greatest Prophet, Hazarat Muhammad (SAW)) and One Book (The Holy Quran). So what is it that we lack, we need a Islamic ruling system that will once again unite us and eliminate all our differences.
Its time we recognize our true enemy and stand united against it. In the end I would like to Salute the Armed Forces, but we would never have been so far if we had kept our foreign policies simple and straight forward and never let non-muslims interfere in any of our matters.
