First of all, congratulations for this great success. I still can't forget last T20 worldcup when our team was about to win. Even in that worldcup our heroes played really well.
But better late than never, Pakistan has done it this time.
Pakistani people these days didnt get any good news, the frustration was high and this news has given a great boost to the nation.
I always say that cricket is not just a game for us, Infact yesterday a journalist said exactly what i was thinking that, our president should cut down his international tours and promote our cricket team instead.
Sport plays big role in image building and cricket loving nation like Pakistan must be given every chance to promote its culture and improve its image with the help of cricket.
The tears of happiness were waiting to come out since last few years, and sunday was the day finally.
I was very upset when i heard those ugly statements about shoaib malik that he is trying to make our team lose.
But in everygame he has played his role, if they remember the catch semi final and the wonderful supportive inning in final.
Overall team effort was great, the nation was happy and so am i.
Goodluck Pakistani team for Srilanka tour, they are leaving on 26th and hopefully they will perform well in test matches as well as one day.
Shahid Afridi will not be playing for his personal reasons.
Let me take this opportunity to introduce our company, as a leading manufacturer of Gypsum Board range of products in Pakistan. Dongfeng Board Pakistan happens to be the first of its kind in embarking upon this venture. It is, essentially, making history by manufacturing quality Gypsum Board and PVC Laminated Ceiling Tiles in Pakistan.
FACTS ON THE GROUND IN PAKISTAN. Reference to the Islamic history and Pakistan’s independence period, I want to go a step further and will recommend to select/elect every Chief of Army staff as president after retirement and the present Army chief should be be given extra time for his outstanding services at national and international level and all other Corps. Commanders of the Army and COS of Air force and Navy should be appointed Governors and Deputy Governors of the provinces and regions ( by creating regional governments in all four provinces, 2 in Punjab 1 in each province- these regions already exist based on language, culture and history , such as Saraiki, Potahari, Upper Sind-Sukkar, Dera Ismail Khan in NWFP and Gawadar- Balouch Area. And all additional bureaucrats who love to live in provincial capitals should be transferred to these remote areas of the country. These new regions should invite and attract the foreigner and Pakistani origin people to invest in the area to create jobs and eliminate poverty.) This is the only way we can stop further interruption/ coup in Pakistan . After all armed forces personnel are well disciplined and organized . And above all represent Pakistan’s diversified population. And it's leadership do not transfer within family but earned by hard work and talents only. Every second family in Pakistan is represented in the army one way or the other and the Pakistan Army is the only ever lasting popular party-yes it's an important ruling party other than Bhuttos and anti-Bhuttos, Sharif brothers. With this arrangement no one is loser except few feudal and industrialists, who represent non of the masses in Pakistan. We already have a quota system applied for superior services since 30 years and had killed thousands of innocent talented young people, why not try this arrangement for the welfare of the country which will effect none but very few so called politicians who after all deal with generals, behind the curtains. And it’s good to know that supporters of these politician are 500/600 Mafia families who live in 125 districts in Pakistan and provide so called public leadership for national, provincial and local levels. Any restriction to stop them is useless. Recent example of education condition brought their unseen educated women forward in politics. All 8000/9000 candidates in recent elections were from the same mafia group who are the biggest law breakers and around 1000 leading law breakers have been elected as new law makers who will take care of themselves but none. They all are involved in worst kind of crimes on this earth against humanity with the collaboration of junior police officials. An enquiry by a neutral agency may prove my claim.
