The T20 World Cup has ended with celebrations for West
Indies as they rise to championship by claiming the victory on the day it most
mattered. But has it left the same happiness for the rest of us. We could hear
up stories of match fixing and Pakistan winning almost all its matches with some
of its crucial players out of form.
Boom Boom Afridi failed to show any satisfactory performance
by claiming only 4 wickets and 16 runs in the whole tournament was a bit of a
disgrace for a player of his stature. With every fixture, our captain, due to
immense pressure, lost his ability to make rational decision and we could see
its outcome in our last match-the Semi-final.
Not to be sardonic, but I really cheer the performance of
Umar Akmal and Nasir Jamshed, had the latter been not sent back to the pavilion
in his last semifinal innings due to poor (may be fixed according to indian
recent reports) judgment, he may have been declared man
of the series (just to exaggerate).
For us, the T20 series ended here but it seems our
neighbors, with whom we not only share border, culture but also the ancestors-“Mera Baharat Mahan” could still find something
interesting. The humoristic Indians could always find something funny in our
loss and that I truly appreciate.
But things soon turned sour and our Indian brothers became
mudslingers. They have started blaming a total of six umpires who were ready to
be bribed for spot-fixing and match-fixing. Had not been the two Pakistani
umpires be involved in this blame, I would not have bothered to write this
piece.
But my dear brothers, you are playing with my patriotism. If these
umpires were ready to make wrong decision then I would like to point out to the
Indian media that an umpire made a wrong decision for one of our players Nasir Jamshed
that cost us the loss of an important match. I would like to ask the Indian
media their take on this poor judgment, as the mistake was very clear.
