Let's cook up a conspiracy!

Very recently, a Pakistani doctor claims that our society has gone nuts. He claims that we see conspiracies everywhere. At start, I thought he was a crack-pot too but then it seems that he might be right.

Yousuf Raza Gilani ne 7 arab rupey liye hain Pakistan ki haar k liye jis mein Misbah, Umer Gul, Kamran Akmal and Younus Khan shamil hain! 


Yousuf Gilani adhay adhay ghantay tak Afridi ko convince karnay ki koshish ki match kay dawraan kay woh match harjayein par woh nahi mana baaki sab maangaye jinhon nay perform nahi kiya


Yousuf Raza Gilani ki baat na manney se jab Afridi ne inkaar kiya tu us ki family ko maarne ki dhamki di gae, is k bawajood bhi us ne kohshish ki magr nakaam ho gaya! Or phir wo apni nation se sorry karne k baad dressing room mein ja k ro parey! We are proud of you, Afridi! 


[Translation: Yousuf Raza Gilani has received 70 million rupees in return for the loss of Pakistan (author rolls eyes). Misbah, Umar Gul, Kamran Akmal and Younus Khan are all involved (author's reaction: omg! yawn!). Yousuf Raza Gilani talked with Shahid Afridi for half an hour but he plainly refused. Ones who took the offer are the players that did not perform. When Shahid Afridi refused this offer from Yousuf Raza Gilani, Afridi's family was threatened (in India, orly!). He tried his level best but he failed (RESPECT!)! And then he apologized to nation (NOTHING but RESPECT!) and when to his room and cried (He must have been scared of the thrashing he would get from the 'Jihadi' lot).]

First, whoever wrote this must have spelt in his or her school days. Furthermore, people who forwarded are jerks too. Why? Nobody saw that Pakistan was written with a small p. Writing your country's name with a small alphabet is blasphemous. It shows disrespect. 

Second, I know India is filthy rich but they are not going to spend 35 billion Indian Rupees for a stupid cricket match. Especially on a match that they could win easily. Thank God, we did not have Shoaib Mirza Malik as the captain. People would have said that the captain threw the game to make his Indian susral happy, or Sania promised to get pregnant if Pakistan loses. We might be 'oh so proud' with Afridi but lets not forget, he made mistakes too just the way Misbah, Kamran, Younus and Umar did. Afridi did not use the Power Play efficiently. He sent Umar Gul once and again, even though it was not working. Furthermore, if Afridi was offered to rig the match then he would have suspected unusual behaviors. Why didn't Afridi use the replacement wicket-keeper? Why did only Kamran's name appears in the message? Why not his brother Umar's name, who gave 30 important runs? Why did Misbah-ul-Haq stuck till the end, if he was included? Honestly, everyone should realize that they need to quit pointing fingers. Our team was not the one for this World Cup. This team was very young and quite inexperienced. Some of these guys were playing their first ODI against arch-rival India. 

Third, Afridi had the reasons to cry if he ever did. Afridi has turned out to be a great leader. He took responsibility not only for his actions, but for the entire team. He accepted failure when it was due. No excuses or anything; he just apologized. He showed great posture in front of the cameras, even after losing. He has been going under a lot of pressure and then he knew that there would be people back home talking utter non-sense about him and then team. Certainly, the man would break in his privacy.

Fourth, all the haters: FUCKING GROW UP. There is no gossip in here. Did you see any Australian television station throwing mud on their players? England has the world-renowned tabloid, News of the World; the gossip of the English side failing miserably in the World Cup would have been a great story. But did we see anything from there? No! Great nations support their teams even if they have failed. I wish I would have skipped these lines but the role that Mubashir Luqman (Dunya TV) and Rana Mubashir (News ONE) have been very irresponsible. Instead of having a sound discussion about the team's performance, their stories were to find the controversy and sell it. Furthermore, the "OMG! My Life is in Danger" Wicket-keeper Zulqurnain Haider should come clean now. That dude's intention are now looking fairly shady. If he has some evidence then he should put it on the table, rather than yapping away.

Thankfully, there have been a vast majority of people who understood why Pakistan did not win. A lot of people that I know understand that this Pakistani team was destined for good things but not great things. There was a lack of exposure and experience. However, one thing strikes out in this silly gossip-infested SMS. Our leadership has no credibility left. Whoever it gets associate with, the other party is known as corrupt too. Rather than scandalizing our cricket team, shouldn't we look at the unity and the hope it got us. No, why should we... those things are for 'versus India only'.
