Asia cup 2014: Why did India let Afridi shine too much!

-DR. ABDUL RUFF COLACHAL

Sports media, as part of their wickedness and ignorance and foolishness, hailed just Afridi for the Pakistani win against India in Asia Cup on March 02 in Dhaka.

Not only Pakistan won and entered the finals against Sri Lanka,  but also kicked India out of the tournament. New Delhi cricket strategists hoped too much for a win but fate decided otherwise

 The issue here is how Pakistan won.  Is Afridi alone responsible with his two 6s?  Obviously not! Even 4s or 2s would make Pakistan see though. Why did not Afridi or others hit SIXes in the previous overs? But SIXes were just offered to Afridi to claim credit as batboy.  

So, cricket is a show and gambling preferred by Muslim nations in South Asia and Mideast. 

The reason is the Pakistani bowlers, opting to bowl first after  winning toss,  could restrict the Indian team batboys to a meager 245 runs which In Indian  bogus standards is much low as it wants 300 plus.

In fact, at one point it appeared Pakistan would offer 300 plus to India and lose the match, unable to chase down the big total. .

Pakistan struggled chase down even 245 runs and what would have happened if they had offered  300 to Indians?

Cricket boards, cricket mafias, including the ICC, media etc give importance only to batboys for a match win by the team.  Ridiculous!

Indian government, sports ministry, intelligence boys, corporate gangs promote cricket to make cricketers fake Bharatratnas. 

If you know Ashwin's bowling effect you will wonder how he allowed two consecutive SIX , thereby allowing Pakistan to win and kick Indians out of contest. 

Pakistan needed 10 runs in the last over and Ashwin was the bowler. Pakistan had already lost 9 wickets and the 10th wicket is there. But Indian should not have worried about that wicket because India has lost only 8 wickets while Pakistan has already lost 9 wickets. Pakistan has already lost one more wickets than India side did. 

Ashwin could have easily denied Pakistan any runs in the last over to win but Ashwin went for trapping Afridi by feeding nicely hoping for the last wicket. He failed and Pakistan won. 

Ashwin just played the usual cricket mischief one more time.

Beyond what we see, there may also be the unseen fact. Quite likely, Indo-Pakistan already decide the end outcome of the match in favor of Pakistan. Since India has already tasted the Lankan attack a couple of days back and crushing all hopes of New Delhi,  Indian team might have already decided to lose gracefully so that  Pakistan could face the Colombo local music and enjoy defeat as well.

Hence India lost and has now reasons to smile.. Indian media would shine by blasting the  major news that "SL crush a helpless Pakistan"

India cannot get this kind of sadistic pleasure  so easily.  

One question remains: 
Why do the bowlers are asked by captains to get wickets by feeding big runs when same can be achieved without offering runs at all? Every bowler has shown   they can play dotballs  very easily. But why don't they  apply that  regularly? Why should they need to offer at least one 50 in each innings? In stead of promoting batboys like donkeys on payment basis why don't they find some other  normal job?

But Sri Lankans won’t do that kind of silly things in the finals against Pakistan.

Pakistan knows that!
