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 :P).
• 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 :P. 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“.
