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!

Gilly is a great.
About the walking thing - I am not too sure. Its a personal thing. Many times decisions are given against you when you know you're not out. Having played a decent bit of amateur cricket (and still playing) all I can say is that the favorable and the unfavorable decisions tend to balance out over a period of time. Its just like the law of averages. If the rub of the green goes against you a couple of times, its bound to go in your favor sometime or the other.
Personally, I never walk. Nor do I protest when the umpire makes a mistake. Just accept the fact that the umpires are human who are liable to making mistakes and carry on with it.Last edited by KhalsaWarrior; 02-22-2011, 12:19 AM. -

Naah. See cricket is still governed by gentlemanly (some say archaic) rules. Showing dissent is seen as indiscipline. That said, at the international system a video review system has been introduced where decisions can be overturned based on video replay on a team's request. Each team gets 3 such review chances in an innings. The first major experiment of this system is the ongoing WC.Originally posted by Admin Khan View Post
But no such luck at the lower levels or for amateurs like us.Comment
