Icc World Cup 2011

ICC WORLDCUP 2011

Icc World Cup has started with all its glory in the Feb 2011 and because Cricket is a major sport that’s played in the Sub –Continent there was much hype in this region about it.

Pakistan, The 1992 champion could not play well against India in the Semi Final and lost .There was a half day holiday announced in Pakistan and Iam  sure the same would have been in India .It was such a big match because of the fact that India & Pakistan are arch rivals but alas the Pakistan cricket team played really bad except Wahab Riaz who took 5 wickets.

It was such a crazy & great atmosphere in Karachi everywhere there were Big screens and people were gathered around it .There were Pakistan flags & face painting were going on .There were again cheap slogans & background music when any Indian player used to get out .The Pakistan Official Cricket team shirts were available at Addidas at Rs 1600 & it used to get sold out immediately many of my friends bribed the guy to get the  last piece of shirt for them and they were praying that OH PLZZ GOD make us wear it again in the final J

Although there were big screens for every other match of Pakistan but it was the Indo Pak match that attracted a lot of attention due to the animosity.

I also was telling my brother to not to go to places because all the matches  we used to see at our place from the start  and when Pakistan was in the winning position then we used to go out like in Australia & West- Indies and all other. He was not in Karachi in the New Zealand match and I was telling him .See, you didn’t see the match from the beginning with us and what happened.

We also used to switch the channel from Geo super to Star sports of Indian commentary because that was the way in which Pakistan used to win because my brother used to comment that *see that’s how Indian’s get jealous with Pakistan *

Whenever our servant used to see the match with undivided attention we used to get scared that God now Pakistan will loose and we used to keep him busy by giving him clothes to iron or carrots to peel while watching the match so that he can watch & listen without boring his eyes into the Pakistan Players

 My dad used to get irritated and pissed off because of our superstitious ways and he doesn’t used to allow it even for fun thought he knew that we are just having fun

 I came across a funny slogan in the place where big screens were there and it is one of the cheapest slogan anybody could come up with ……

                                              NAARA –E- SUI

                                                   

                                              OUI OUI OUI

  and there were another old but cheap ones like Munii Ko Badnam Karo and all of these and can you imagine how would one  feel like being a girl when anybody will shout it at a place where from the outlook cool people are seated  together …… Uff Allah but it was fun lol  but  I again took it positive because it showed how creative Pakistani people are in inventing slogans J

I heard before the match from a high Govt official that Indo- Pak match is fixed and Pakistan is going to loose because of the dignitaries involved and because the bookies had all the money on India and in one day 40 billion dollars were transferred from Pakistan and that every match is fixed and there was an status of the bookie that India will make 260 runs and Pakistan will lose by 25- 30 runs and that proved to be so true and I was feeling sorry for the Shaheed parrot. There was a joke around it that goes on like this

* SHAHEED PARROT KA JANNAT SAY PAKISTANI QOAM KA LIYA PAIGHAM
      APRIL FOOL IN ADVANCE , APRIL FOOL IN ADVANCE *

How brutal can people get in the Indo – Pak match I realized it myself when Kiran Rao was chanting BHAJJI BHAJJI BHAJJI . I just wanted to shout in her ear that *BHAJJI KI BANAGEY BHUJIA *

My little cousins came up all dressed up in the official shirts one was calling himself Shahid Afridi and another as Shoaib Akhter J  although Shoaib didn’t play but he didn’t know J He just wanted to be Shoaib and that is what the star power is. So true that there are only two stars in Pakistan Cricket Team one is Shahid Afridi and the another is Shoaib Akhter

I just don’t understand that why Afridi didn’t make Shoaib play despite the fact that Indian batsman are scared against him and he has  a good track record with India and he was desperate to play .He could play instead of Abdur razzaq who played so badly in the match .

My brother calls him * RUNNING SPINNER * that balls with a pace as slow as a spin and that even with a such a big run up.

I think people would have looked at how Shoaib was twisting and turning in the dressing room and was aching to come up in the field against Sachin.

I think if he would have bowled even 6 over’s the situation would have been different because he would have taken some early wickets for sure

Anyways this match and the defeat against India will be raw  for Pakistan fans for time to come and could only be healed a bit when Pakistan will defeat them again in any match and will be healed completely when they will be defeated badly in the ICC world cup 2015 Inshallah

Today is the final match and is going to start in an hour .My all prayers and support for the SL team not only because India is the rival also because I have got lovely cutie pies SL friends who have a  heart of  a gold and also because of the fact that SL is a great friend of Pakistan 

 

May ALLAH make SL win against India today in the ICC World cup 2011 Final at MUMBAI    INSHALLAH
