Taha we also have illetrate ministers.Lalu runs railway ministry about 5 yearsBy: Ram | Sunday , 28 Jun '09 17:26:42 PM Reply | Forward Taha we also have illetrate ministers.Lalu runs railway ministry about 5 years.He is a convicted men.My advise to Pakistanies players is that they should keep away from this match fixing saga [so called IPL] and Play in other good cricket leagues like Australias, South Africa and England.I also agreed that our cricket board is playing dirty game which will efect the Asian Block and only benefits goras.

Agree with HenryBy: Taha | Sunday , 28 Jun '09 15:46:56 PM Reply | Forward I agree with Henry that pakistan have been more consistent in reaching the world t20 finals twice. India played well in the first edition, but they are the ones that got lucky the first time in the final. This time pakistan won comprehensively against the two top and unbeaten sides back to back, and one of the sides even acknowledged that pak played better, and it was no luck. I want to pity people like anil who like to judge people from where they are from rather than the talent, as the same pakistani team who didn't play in the IPL won the cup, while the poor indian team got kicked out in the second phase. Goes to show that IPL is a kid's league and international cricket is a whole different format. It doesn't matter if the pak players play in the IPL or not, it won't affect their competitiveness at all, as they clearly showed in the recent world t20. Pakistan Zindabad!!!

IPL is bullshitBy: taha | Sunday , 28 Jun '09 15:39:43 PM Reply | Forward This message is to Anil. The IPL franchise owners are a bunch of amateurs who don't know how to bid and what price to bid on the players. You can tell by the first auction. Guys like Glenn McGrath, Ponting, Umar Gul, Sohail Tanvir, got auctioned for less money, than people like David Hussey, VVS Laxman, Dravid, and of course Tendulkar, and Symonds. Many of the so called high price takers didn't perform as well as they were expected including indian players. So its useless to say that pakistani players are not worth what they are, as two of the pakistani players I mentioned performed really well, in Sohail Tanvir and Umar Gul. It goes to show the biased nature and favouritism from the owners, rather than selecting a really good side. Many of your indian players were hyped up in the first version but didn't perform, like yuvraj, laxman, dravid, harbajan got banned. Again i will give the same advice that I did to satish, try and look in your own backyard before criticizing others

Stop this bullshit nowBy: Indian | Sunday , 28 Jun '09 11:23:48 AM Reply | Forward Why do you guys always think as an Indian?What do u think why were we attackd 26/11? Already going through a war, why would Pakistan do terror in India? Because they wanted to show that we can come in your city

MrBy: Anil | Sunday , 28 Jun '09 10:57:13 AM Reply | Forward THE PAKISTANI PLAYERS SHOULD BE THANKFUL THAT THEY HAVE A CONTRACT TO PLAY I.P.L. THEY ARE BEING PAID WHAT THEY DESERVE.HIGHER PRICE IS ALL CRAP AS WE NO THEIR REAL WORTH. THEY PLAY OR DO NOT PLAY WHO CARES....

Cricket ke naam peBy: Just Do It | Sunday , 28 Jun '09 10:40:51 AM Reply | Forward yeh Lalit Modi toh apne aap ko bech dega!

Mr.By: henry | Sunday , 28 Jun '09 9:08:11 AM Reply | Forward What has cricket to do with it. Here we are talking about Pak cricket team who reached to finals on both the occasions of WC 20/20. And the frst time they lost was due to their own mistake and not because India was a better team.

Pak playersBy: Rajendra Patel | Sunday , 28 Jun '09 7:23:39 AM Reply | Forward Lalit Modi is a business man. He has nothing to do with cricket or any game and in that matter pride of INDIA. He consider players as mechanical comodity and they should be ready to work( play) whenever the boss (Modi) ask them to do after all they are paid servent (players). BCCI and Mr.Sharad Pawar has one and only one interest and that is how to get money and rest is go to hell.

Look who's talkingBy: Taha | Sunday , 28 Jun '09 7:07:52 AM Reply | Forward To satish,Big talk coming out of somebody who has a cricketer banned for match fixing as their mp (mohd. azharuddin). Try and select some sensible people to run for your government, so that they can actually do something good. We pakistanis might not have too many educated people who run our government, but its should be a shame for a so called modernized country such as you not to even find good people to run for your government out of a population of more than a billion. I have got to wonder where people like you crawl out from. Goes to show that you are so blinded by hatred that you even ignore what's happening in your own backyard
