Muhammad Amir: Of fame and Defame…

Rising from a small village in Punjab, Pakistan, no one knew the world of Cricket would see an exceptionally talented left arm fast bowler, Muhammad Amir, who was edged on a better position than Wasim Akram once he of his age. Since his debut in 2009, Muhammad Amir was doing an exceptional job for Pakistan and he was supposed to be the ICC emerging player of the Year 2010. But, who knows that his life will take a U-turn on account of his involvement in spot fixing case, which has brought a real bad name to Pakistan. He was imprisoned in an Islamic Center in London for six months and recently released. Currently Amir is banned for playing international cricket for five years.

Now what’s the future of Amir in international Cricket? Will he come back with the same zeal and fervor? Will the world of cricket forgive him once he joins back the Pakistani squad? There are hundreds of questions of this sort but no answer. It is because, Muhammad Amir’s current mental status does not allow him to speak the right for himself. He is planning to file a plea to the court to allow him to play the international cricket. Let’s see what the court will say about his appeal. He is under severe stress right now and needs a psychological help to come out from the traumatic situation which he has seen. We pray for his better future and  hope for a real come back of Muhammad Amir in the International Cricket.

Pak vs Eng Test Series 2012: Pakistani off-spinners eye for a Clean Sweep…

With the dawn of 2012, no one expected that World’s #1 test team England will fall like nine pins in front of the fraught Pakistan team in UAE. The magical bowling of off-spinner Saeed Ajmal thrashed the English batting line up, where the introduction of ‘teesra’ a new delivery by him, made everyone stunned. Using of ‘teesra’, as hinted by Saeed Ajmal was considered as a deception and many English batsmen just gave a cheesy smile to it. English batsmen thought that it is just a hoax to let their morale down and to confuse them before the match. However, the bewildering bamboozle of ‘doosra’ and ‘teesra’ bowled by Saeed Ajmal made their mockery into a loud cry. No one expected that there is a secret arsenal hiding in the hands of the Pakistani off-spinner.

Although, Pakistan has won the series by 2-0, the third and last test is just round the corner. Pakistan team is quite hopeful to take the world’s number one test team to task by winning the third test match on the Arabian Soil. English team has already faced too much criticism and trying to recuperate from their current position. Pakistan team, on the other hand, after experiencing so many reprehensible incidents in the recent past, is quite committed to take the front seat. Let’s hope the magic of off spinners continue in the following 3rd test match to be played in Dubai and Pakistan wins the match by 3-0.

Although batting on a sticky wicket off the field for quite sometime, Yuvraj Singh, the Indian glitzy all rounder is now convalescing from a lung tumor surgery. Yuvraj Singh, 29 faced the traumatic situation when he was at the IPL since then he was not able to come out from the troubled waters, one injury after the other and then ultimately it was disclosed that he is facing a non malignant lung tumor.

He is currently not playing against Australia in the home series and will not be in action in the ODI series against the West Indies. After a successful operation he is feeling better now as he believes God has given him a new life. He is all geared up with a new spirit to dazzle the cricket ground in 2012. Yuvraj Singh is one player who has always been emotional in every match and takes it as a challenge. He is never seen worn out on the field and always on his toes. Not only the Indian fans but whoever watches cricket around the globe likes his game whether he is with the bat or bowl.

We wish him the very best and hope that he will soon join team India and entertain his millions of fans across the globe.
