Why are Karachiites so Annoying

Why are Karachiites so annoying?

Waqar younis was extremely upset and walked off from the press conference. I think he was offended at the insinuations which were made by the karachi journalist there. How dare they?

One of the constant themes which i have experienced from our friends from central punjab is that I in particular and karachi walay in general, bring out the mohajir card at the drop of a hat. And that somehow makes us less of a pakistani. 

Not that i am looking for certificate of patriotism from anyone but its a bit perplexing when our friends from central punjab don't understand that what has happened here to sarfarz or fawad..is not a one off...just in last 30 yrs just in cricket there are examples of basit ali, asif mujtaba, rizwanuz zaman, qasim omer..just to name a few. These men would have illustrious careers if it weren't for their unfortunate domiciles. Do you know that Javed Miandad was not selected for the 92 world cup originally, at the behest of the epitome of everything which is holy and pure one Mr. Imran Khan? We let bygones be bygones.

Prejudice is not a figment of my imagination..its a reality in pakistan. We lost bengal because of it and on the verge of loosing balochistan and until we own it as a real sickness in the heads of these kurta dharta ..we will continue to see this absolute slaughter of merit, whether its cricket or education department of sind at the hands of peer mazharaul haq first and now nisar khoRRoo. But i digress.

A comment which made me giggle was by a friend this morning k 'yaar tum karachi waloon k saath masla kya hay bhai..tumharay saath koi alag burtao nahii horaha...vaysa hi hay unees bees jaysa baloch, siraiki, pakhtoon or sindhiyoon k saath hum kartay hein..you guys are probably still a bit better off than these other lesser mortals! Whats with the hue and cry?'. 

And that was the epiphany for the week....their point isn't that there isn't wholesale injustice based on caste and creed, gripe is why u complainin' son?....Walk it off!!

hum aah bhi kartay hein tau hojatay hein budnaam
voh qatl bhi kartay hein tau churcha nahi hotta

Dear (kehnay mein kya hurj hay?) PCB,

sirjee let bygones be bygones , we said things that we didn't mean, you did things only you and meera could fathom. BUT you are all we got and we cant stop loving OUR cricket (baqaul shair..ishq hojaey kissii say koi chaara tau nahi) just because its being run by einsteins like tota-farosh saythii sahab . 

besides in this mumlikat-e-khudad of ours, what else is being run by common sense so why to expect sanity from you..hein bhai…koi batlao k hum batlaein kya? i mean we are a people who have accepted luqman as an honest journalist, aamir liaquat as an islamic scholar, meera as a hottie, sheikh rasheed as a democrat, abdur rasheed ghazi as someone who doesn't wish harm to anyone, sarfaraz nawaz as someone who is not unhinged, tau bhai if najam sethi is defacto chairman PCB tau guzara karein!

anywho so i was saying k sir, forgive our sins and since now there is a whimper of an opportunity and this nation can again hope for a miracle, at least put the right playing eleven in the ground. Biggest gripe isn't that we are loosing and loosing like we are minnows, frustration is that we really don't have to be this bad..provided that karachi is also considered as part of pakistan and maybe a laRka or 2 out of eleven can be selected from this city.

In what kind of a twilight zone you select Nasir Jamshed over fawad Alam? bhai punjabi hi khilana hay then play nasir jamshed’ parody account on twitter, i am sure he is more in form. 

I am not suggesting that PCB has ignored players of AB de Villiers quality, but when other teams are so good then not playing sarfaraz and fawad is a cardinal sin. Besides why be so petty in 2015? Who cares if these 2 (fawad and sarfaraz) didn't know any better and insisted on being born in karachi, butchey hein maaf kardein yaar! 

PCB sweetie we urge you to be bigger than this and find it in your heart to make slightest of changes and we still might edge in to quarters. and then if we loose, we can hang moin joaari khan and Mr and Mrs Selfie instead. 

There is still an opportunity to do the right thing PCB mayri jaan ki tukRi. we beg you as fans to send Nasir Jamshed back on account of him being umeeed say and not only get fawad as part of squad but get him in the playing eleven , and shut the mouths of hidustoRaaz like me all over, once and for all.

nobody is expecting Pakistan to win the world cup, least of all me. I am however convinced that we are good enough to be in quarter finals…but it will only happen when we play the right XI. 

As a fan, there is no tax on dreaming and even if you do an analysis in an emotionally detached manner, you are telling me that on our day we are not good enough to beat even new zeawland ? people, people, people, we did it not once but twice merely couple of months ago and i don't doubt that we can still do it on our day. But at the sake of being repetitive, we must take care of ducks which we have absolute control over and line them up properly..selecting the right eleven is a bare minimum. Here is the right eleven in my opinion based on performances.

1. Sarfaraz Ahmed WK
2. Haris 
3. Misbah C
4. Umer Akmal
5. Sohaib
6. Fawad
7. Afridi
8. Wahab
9. Yasir Shah
10. Sohail Khan
11. Irfan
