The Cherry Explodes!!

I deeply condemn the Terrorist attack that took place today on Sri Lankan Cricketers. The attack on cricket here is merely a subset of the greater attack on humanity that seems to have become part of Sub-continent these days. Terrorist attacks in India, War in Sri Lanka , Mutiny in Bangladesh and Terror hubs in Pakistan, human life seems to lost its value too in recession.

Penury and greed had led the Sri Lankan team to Pakistan even after other countries had cancelled their tours. Pakistan is fast turning into a country partitioned between corrupt politicians, shady Army and religious fanatics. The modern moderate class is a mute minority in pak. Most of the readers might have already categorized this post as "Indian Rants" against Pakistan. However, the developments in the region make my case stronger. Taliban is gaining ground in Pakistan and it wont be long before the fanatics start controlling a part of Pak's nukes .

There is something shady about pakistani cricket setup too. Javed Miandad one of the greatest pakistani players and highly placed administrator in Pak cricket has his own dark connections. JM's son is married to Underworld Kingpin Dawood Ibrahim's daughter. For the uninitiated DI was accused in 93 Mumbai blasts and fled India fearing arrest and is known to still control the underworld in India. DI is also 4th on FBI's most wanted list. DI was recently thought to have joined forces with Al qaeda and actively funding terrorist hubs. Imran Khan the world cup winning captain , a failed politician and spokesman who is recognized by the West went on record supporting the Islamic hardliners. That means no education for girls, shariat law and a medieval life style. When leaders like Imran speak in favor of Islamists one can be doubly sure that Pak is heading towards nadir.

On Cricketing front this is the tombstone for Pak cricket. No other country will travel to Pak and PCB will end up bankrupt . My heart goes for all those who got injured and this may mean some players such as Samaraweera who will end up in bed when in prime form. This incident will definitely change the worlds perspective of Pak. As the sentiment goes its clear that Islamic militants have killed the adopted religion of Pakistan - "Cricket".
