JANG-8th Dec 2011 and Have the prayers been answered ?



Geo News boasts( Jang Newspaper 7th Dec 2011) that it broadcast-ed President's departure to Dubai for medical reasons before any one else. A political turmoil (read media hype)
that followed Mr.Presidents health related visit caught fire after Foreign Policy(FP) published blah blah blah. The point here is not what Geo says or what the FP said. The point here is the question on most Pakistani minds(read title) and what today's Jang has to say about it.

Another reference to Jang, it quotes Ahsan Iqbal (PML-N)"Public is praying for the heart failure of the Government". That was a clever remark from him who further goes on to say he hopes Zardari gets well soon. A statement from a guy from the "Go Zardari Go" Tehreek ?? The question in his mind too will be(read title)
General Kiyani about whom the DEMOCRATIC government suggest is on their side( recent change of ambassadors and the memorandum gate scandal suggest otherwise) phone called Zaradari before he left for Dubai and allegedly asked for his health. The question in his mind might also be(read title)
First they changed his name from Bilawal Zardari to Bilawal Zardari Bhuto and now this??
With him presiding over the meeting with the PM and video release of it meant another sizzling news in todays Jang. and we asked ourselves again, have the prayers really been answered ?

Wait does Jang have an answer to that aswell in its headline today??

And last but not the least keeping in mind the infamous removal of the infamous Amir Liaquat video by Geo. A message for Jang,

The magic of Pakistani Spin !


The Pakistan cricket team is experiencing something which they haven't ever since I have started to follow them. The are experiencing consistency. Anyone familiar with the men in green would guess and guess it wrong they would that its due to the faster bowlers in the team. As has been the case in the past when we would have 2 or 3 killer pacers and a slower one who would chip in time to time. Some might disagree with me but this is the first time we have had 3 world class(Ajmal,Afridi,Hafeez) spinner in the side at a time. Not to forget bench strength( Malik,Rehman) which showed its potential in the recently concluded ODI series in which Pakistan clean sweep-ed Bangladesh. Ajmal, Afridi and Hafeez are the top wicket takers for Pakistan in ODIs in 2011.
The Spin trio will play a vital role in the coming HOME series against England in U.A.E and not the forget the most awaited away tour of India (where Afridi was the highest wicket take in WC2011). Hafeez who came in as a replacement for Butt after the spot fixing fiasco has cemented his place in the side (unusually through bowling). However his recent form of batting will alarm his fans who will wish he starts getting big scores rather than getting starts and throwing them away.

Saeed Ajmal a late starter (by Pakistani standards) has proved match winner for the team. He has an impressive record specially in the shorter formats of the game. The fans would be praying the keep seeing his fist of triumph regularly and Afridi's signature pose as well :)!!
