Terrorism N Cricket
Written by Firydude on 10:14 PM
The latest bomb threat to Pakistani cricket players to deter them from not playing at Eden Gardens is a serious issue, or is it? From my 66th sense lets consider few points. Illogical they may seem but atleast they tickle the idiotic part of brain.
Statement: Pakistani cricketers get life threat to aviod them from playin next test
Possibility1: The threat came from any Indian fundamentalist group, if any :P.
66th sense: After the despairing performances at ICC world Cup at W. Indies now even the terrorist groups have lost faith in both the teams. Due to the unpredictable nature of cricketing talents in both teams, bad light issues, players' fitness and outside chances of match fixing it was an imperative step to ensure Indian Victory in the series. "U can't win if u aren't playing" theory. What's really exciting about this theory is, "Is Pakistan really playing the cricket they were known for"
Possibility2: The threat came from Pakistani fundamentalist group
66th sense: The reason is same as above but a bit stronger than Indian side. First Pakistan did badly at W.Indies but they lost to India at 20-20 as well. Damn it. Losing to anyone is acceptable, but losing to India is intolerable and that too in World Cup final is criminal, abominable, unethical and unholy from Pakistani point of view. So don't give Kumble and boys to whitewash the Pakistani team. Similar to Indian fundamentalists' theory of "U can't win if u aren't playing", Pakistani fundamentalist must be thinking along the lines "U can't lose if u aren't playing". More sensible in Pakistani context in current scenario.
Possibility3: The threat came from an active terrorist group in India
66th sense: Possibility here is that the group wants all the attention and security forces to be concentrated around the cricket gounds for five days, and the group has ample time and space to celebrate diwali (ironic) at a different location. Hmmmmm....clever but obvious...
Extra 66th sense: Terrorist group didn't have to play this hoax of threat to divert the forces, cos if forces were really worth considering, Varanasi, Faizabad and Lucknow would have not made the news few days back
Possibility4: Was it a Pakistani cricket supporter
66th sense: Jealousy is a green eyed monster, and green is the colour of the uniform. Was it that a hardcore pakistani supporter hoaxed all this so their team gets a little less crisiticism when they lose the test series aswell. What a nice after match interview with captain saying "Bis....... Boys played well despite the threat from terrorist. We were in a no win situation. Win the trophy and die or lose the trophy and die after getting back home. So Shoaib has decided to stay at Bollywood and myself and some boys will join ICL. Danish has joined Happydent team and planning to replace Walrus at Russian Circus. Afridi is going back as he was on the bench and takes no blame". Maybe it was intended to give their team some media attention for a reason diferent than "Y aren't u people palying good cricket"
Possibility4: It was a truth after all
66th sense: If a team coach can get "assasinated", the person least responsible for actual on field action, then so can get the team members.
