Pakistan loses to India

After 27 years Pakistan cricket has suffered a series defeat on indian soil , last time it was in 1979-80. This defeat however has serious lessons to be learned from. Shoaib Akhtar who was presumably on his last tour of India was to make a difference but could not. How many times has he tried to make a difference but have failed? Clearly not due to the lack of potential but due to some other circumstances. In any other series he would have opted to sit out considering his fitness and attitude. Here though he opted to play despite not being 100%. Did that help pakistan save two of the three match series? I don't think. One could clearly see that he was more interested in off-field activities , came close to signing a couple of bollywood films while he should be working on his fitness. Shabby is a match winner for sure. Teams do rely on some of its members who can take on the responsibility and be the flag bearers. Like Wasim was the flag bearer after Imran and since he was out of the arena no one could come up to his potential to be the flag bearer of aggression and hostility which remained the hallmark of pak cricket in late 80s and early 90s. Shoaib,Razzaq,Azhar,Saqlain all played lot of cricket under Wasim but sadly no one came up to the level. Now that Shoaib is slowly slipping into his retirement I can't see anyone taking up that role and may be pak cricket is entering into an era of leadership dearth which we are already experiencing as a nation.

My creation

It just struck my mind, and while its fresh I thought it would be worth (b)logging it. So what is the purpose of my creation? But before I try to elaborate my point of view on that let me share with you some of my prejudices which I have most recently found to be not so good. As a teenager I believed in righteous thinking. Now its one thing to be righteous about a matter and completely other to prove your point. Laws of nature demand from you to struggle and prove that you are on the right path. Thats what all struggle of life is about , or rather should be about. So let me answer a very common question : Why am I created? or Why has God created me? God has created you because HE wants you to prove your mettle against wrong/evil/false whatever you name it. So for me its a two step thing , first you got to find out what is righteous and once you are certain that this is the right path you got to prove it to the whole world. No matter how much resistance you have to face and without the fear of loosing. Because you cannot loose anyway.Makes sense?
