Shapur,
Good to have you back. What do you think of India?Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

KARACHI: Former captain Wasim Akram has called on the Pakistani openers to seek inspiration and learn from the exploits of Indian senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar.
Wasim, who is in Sri Lanka commentating on the World Cup matches, also expressed his frustration over Pakistan's performance against Zimbabwe on Monday.
The former fast bowler called on openers, Muhammad Hafeez and Ahmed Shahzad to learn the art of batting and building an innings from Tendulkar.
The two openers have failed to provide a single decent start to the Pakistan team in five matches of the World Cup and Wasim felt both needed to rethink their approach to batting.
"They should learn from Tendulkar, look at him he is 38 plus and yet he is still going strong. He just plays normal cricket in the first ten overs and does not gift his wicket," Akram said.
"Tendulkar is a role model for many others and the Pakistani openers should learn from him how to build an innings and how to tackle dicey conditions. Look at Shahzad he is immensely talented but the moment the ball does a little movement he either starts shuffling across the line or moving in his crease and is gifting his wicket. Hafeez is also getting out constantly shuffling across," he explained.
Wasim said the Pakistani openers need to learn from Tendulkar that even in one-day cricket one needs to build an innings.
"Even if you have scored 50 odds runs in the first 12 or 15 overs and have wickets in hand you are in a good position. And Pakistan's strength is that if they have wickets in hand they can go for quick runs in the final overs," he said.
He pointed out that Tendulkar was still going strong as he stuck to the basics well and didn't try anything extraordinary.
"His hunger for runs is astonishing," Akram told Geo Super channel.
Akram was also not satisfied with the performance of Pakistan over Zimbabwe.
"I want this team to win the World Cup and they can do it. Every Pakistani wants the team to win the tournament but their approach is frustrating. Every side that Zimbabwe played they outclassed them but our team approached the game as if they were nervous and scared," Akram said.
"Our team needs to adopt a more pro-active approach and show natural aggression. You can't win the World Cup with a defensive mindset and I am frustrated that we didn't beat Zimbabwe more convincingly. This was our chance to send out a clear signal to the other teams," he added.
The former captain also said that the Pakistan team management needs to work out issues.
"One person says Shoaib Akhtar was dropped for the match against Zimbabwe, the coach is saying he was rested. There is a big difference between these two things and Pakistan needs to sort out these little things that create confusion," he said.
Akram also said he would like to play Shoaib in the remaining matches and use him as a wicket-taking bowler.
He also said India's defeat to South Africa was neither shocking nor surprising.
"All of us have been saying India is strong on paper but their bowling lacks wicket-takers and so far in the tournament their bowling has been exposed. It is a problem area for them and they are depending too heavily on their batting. See what happened against South Africa their batsmen also need to know what they want in this tournament," he said.

Also bit of a good news, they are dropping shahzad and opening with Akmal instead..This should fill the gap nicely
Kamran likely to open against Aussies
Khalid Hussain
Wednesday, March 16, 2011
COLOMBO: Pakistan are mulling over the option of playing Kamran Akmal as an opener in their key World Cup clash against Australia here on Saturday.
Pakistan’s strategy for the eagerly-awaited game against Australia will be to play attacking cricket and Shahid Afridi, the Pakistan captain, believes that by promoting Kamran up the order he can strengthen Pakistan’s batting order.
Afridi told ‘The News’ here on Tuesday that Kamran is expected to replace Ahmed Shehzad as the opener for the match against Australia.
The 19-year-old Ahmed has flopped in all five of his World Cup outings and has just scored 44 at an average of less than nine.
“Ahmed is a talented kid but he has not really learnt from his mistakes,” said Afridi. “We have been showing faith in his abilities but Ahmed has failed to give us a single good start and now we are thinking about going into the match against Australia with a new opening pair,” he said.
“The best option we have is to promote Kamran as an opener. He has scored a lot of runs playing at that position and has the sort of experience we will need against a top class bowling side like Australia at the start of our innings,” stressed Afridi.
Kamran played four of Pakistan’s initial World Cup games at the number three position but he was replaced by Asad Shafiq for that spot in Monday’s match against Zimbabwe at Pallekele. Asad, playing his first World Cup match, hit an unbeaten 78 to guide Pakistan to a seven-wicket win.
Afridi said that Asad will retain that position for the game against the Aussies while Umar Akmal will return to the line-up to replace Ahmed Shehzad.
“Asad made full use of the opportunity that was given to him and that’s a sign of a good cricketer,” said Afridi. “We needed somebody to do well at the number three spot and are happy that Asad has shown a lot of promise.”
Afridi is hoping that Umar AkmalÃs return will bolster Pakistan’s batting. “Umar is fully fit and that’s good for us because he is one of our key players.”
Umar missed the game against Zimbabwe because of an injured finger.
Ahmed Shehzad, meanwhile, faces a tough task in the bid to keep his place in the playing eleven. He really upset Afridi and the team officials by falling to Zimbabwe spinner Ray Price trying to slog only to get stumped.
Waqar Younis, the Pakistan coach, made it clear that he wasn’t happy with the way Ahmed threw away his wicket.
“It was a rash shot from Shehzad,” said Waqar. “It wasn’t really required at the time. But don’t forget he is a youngster, he is only 21 and brand new in this arena. It’s not easy sometimes. In the heat of the moment you play silly shots and that’s how you learn cricket.
He’s probably learnt a big lesson today that when the team needs you at the wicket, you should stay.”
Pakistan took a day off on Tuesday and will return the nets on Wednesday (today) at the P Sara Oval.It's enough that I know, Our time had a home, In your heart..Was a place..But the glass always breaks..Comment
