Don't Mix God with Cricket


I would like to make a point as to why we lost the last match in the worlcup...

And this can best be exemplified by what INZY said after the loss: ?Obviously God was not willing, so we did not win?.

I was thinking: Are you stupid? What are you talking about? So you?re blaming god for your loss? How about being a man and saying you played like crap?

This is the type of ignorance we?re dealing with folks. His statement is fatalist and essentially implies that a 60yr ricksha-driver could be a specialist batsmen if ?god wills it?.?He essentially thinks that god will bat for the Pakistan team! Imagine that...God, coming out and helping the Pakistan team because they pray 5 times a day! So basically, practice + exercise + killer instinct mean nothing if you are muslim? THIS IS WHY PAKISTAN LOST, GUYS. Our players failed because of this ridiculous idea that even without hardwork and motivation, one can achieve anything in life as long as they pray 5 times a day...

If bringing god into the realm of cricket was the only way to succeed, then even I could be open for Pakistan.

Its that simple folks...It is these basic fundamental questions that Pakistan needs to address and rectify.

Only Wasim Akram and Imran knew this?and that?s why they were the most successful of Pakistani batsmen.

A word to Inzy: Do NOT bring religion into sports. We are not fighting a war here, we're just playing a sport.

This is such a basic principle and I just do not understand why this team doesn't understand this...its so basic.

Am I the only person out there that feels this way?
