pakistan cricket-zindabad

equanimity

how many of you in this forum are cricket fans, i myself love cricket and have followed it since i was 7 when pakistan won the world cup in 1992.

However the pakistani cricket team has often been associated with cheating, drinking, match-fixing and losing !!!!!!!!!

However i am proud to say that the pakistan cricket can be assoiated with winning and islam today, mashallah

with the conversion of yousuf youhana to islam he is now muhammed yousuf

In addition inzaman, mushie, saqqie, saeed anwar, afridi, shabbir all having beards

it is also reported the pakistan cricket team all read namaz 5 times a day and are deeply religious.

As a result of the pakistani cricket team finding faith, they also found the fighting spirit and a winning way

with pakistan beating england 2-0 in the tests and becoming good muslims we can all be proud to support the pakistan team.

They now look like winning all their series agaisnt india and england and the world cup in 2007, inshallah

here are some good articles

the first pakistan bowler to bowl inswinging yorkers and use reverse swing

was SAFRAZ NAWAZ he played from 1969- 1984
excellent opening bowler , he was only the 3rd pakistani to take 100 test wickets and score 1000 test runs, his finest hour was agaisnt australia i March 15, 1979 at Melbourne, he bowled a memorable spell to take nine wickets in an innings. He dismissed seven batsmen while conceding one run from 33 balls, fine player.

he then past on his knowledge of reverse swing to IMRAN KHAN, who passed it on to the great WASIM and WAQAR

do not question my cricket knowledge you will lose

[quote="white"]u might aswell call it Q and A[/quote]

Sirus — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 - 01:27

pointless debating what sport is better

altho you all know i love footy........the interest in cricket only is coz of the pakistani team

whether they drunks & clubbers or Good muslims and namaazi's dont matter IMO - they your country, support em

altho i wont be up at ccrazy times in the mornin to watch em

when is the next world cup and where?

i HOPE they win, beating engalnd in the final (lol....i want england to lose in any sport!)....but the last few world cups have been disasters

still remember 132 all out in 99 final 🙁

[size=7]one thing i feel strongly about is tho, Man United over Pakistan cricket team. any day.[/size]

equanimity — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 - 01:33

prince the next world cup is 2007 in west indies

it does matter i would not support a team full of drunk idiots with out any morals like man united or barca, i prefer to support fellow muslim brothers and fellow country men

yeah i hope pakistan beat india in semis , then england in final that would be a dream world cup

like 1992 when we beat england in the final lol

2007...west indies...kool....wont be in in the winter/spring period like the last one will it?

drunk idoits? wow....u follow them more than the papparazzi!! a bunch of drunkards couldnt be great athletes and proffesionals

and there are many non-drinkers in footy....and a few muslims as well....so please, dont chat crap 🙂

and coz a wensite says the paki team is Holy-Moly dont make the whole team saints.....they say Shoaib Akhtar is a clubber, i dunno if i believe it - but i dont care

thats thier personal life

sport is sport

i dont care if Rooney has the meff-iest girl on the planet, whether he likes old women or whatever - he plays the most exciting football i have seen in a long time

bro, jus coz u dont like footy - no need to start with baseless rubbish

equanimity — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 - 01:45

no need to chat about footy in a cricket thread, there are footy threads chat your crap there

do you sing with your fellow supporters, throw abuse and swears at rival fans , then go down the pub to celebrate your victory, or have a good old football style fight with rival fans
yeah man good sport to follow

how many english born muslims have ever played for england?

actaully how many english born muslims have played for the premiership?

wait there are there any english born muslims in any division?

lol....cricket county - ur only allowed 1 foriegner in your team i believe?

yes i sing when im at the ground, its called passion, throwing abuse - well depends what u mean, its all in a competitive sporting context, nothing ever personal....and no pubs....no fights....your really good at labelling arent you!!

i wont label cricket fans, that would be silly of me

how many english born brazilians have played for england? whats your point bro!!

admittedly it can be a lil racist - but sometimes u gotta think....we are outnumbered, bound to be more non-muslims compared to muslims - hence the less chance of one getting thru

AND

how many of us take it seriously?

btw...Zeshan Rehman plays for Fulham, England under 20....and now captain of the Pakistani football team 8)

so that answers all your questions

oh, and my cousins mate played for Huddersfield last season, dont know where he is now!- Adnan something

equanimity — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 - 11:08

im glad you know of two

anyway this is a cricket thread
refrain from mentioning FOOTBALL

FOOTBALL TALK IS NOT WELCOMED HERE

[quote="RAF786"]

really?

all of them?

and here I was thinking that the Paki cricket team was famous for their womanising ways and corrupt match fixing rumours? :roll:

Sirus — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 - 11:43

apparently coz about 3 of them, 1 of whom doesnt play anymore, have grown 10-foot beards..........the team is all religious now

again, ive heard the rumours - but its just that, rumours

possibly true

Sirus — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 - 11:50

is that true?

i heard hes a clubber....looks like a druggy to me lol

but its all personal lives, which is pointless talkin about, is what i was tryna say to raf

but its coz theres no pakis or muslims in footy is a haraam game :roll:

even tho there is

MuslimSisLilSis — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 - 11:52

the girl aint a liar

i agree that its pointless chatting about their perosnal lives.

buts its also wrong to paint them with the "religious devout muslims" brush

when it clearly aint true about most of them

Medarris — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 - 12:54

aint true abt most of em eh?

I prefer to maintain silence on this issue. But according to what I have seen alhamdulillah there has been a positive change in the team overall.

Someones comment on 10 foot beards was inapprpriate. Such people would be wise to remember neither has any1 kept a 10 foot beard, and that the length of his beard was full in accordance with divine law and also the Blessed Sunnah.

It appears tantamount to making a mockery at a sunnah.

We should seek ALLAH's refuge in abusing mocking or debasing the sunnah.

Sirus — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 - 23:10

wasnt mocking the beard :roll:

thats how you wanted to intepret it

[quote="Angel"]If any sport is a bore then it is cricket!!

tell me about it

Medarris — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 - 23:26

[quote="Black Prince"]wasnt mocking the beard :roll:

[/quote]

10 foot beards?!

k, u knw ur situation better than I do. Personally I bin taught by my Ustaads not to make any derogatory remark about any sunnah. We are forbidden to say one word that is deemed disrespect, alhamdulillah respect is something our Ustadji speaks a lot about, unfortunately an ingrate such as myself has not learnt any.

A case in point is that one student came back from Saudia and visited us in madrassah. During the course of his meeting with us he mentioned something to that was not good about one person in Madinah. Immediately the ustaad who was present at that time stood up and said to the boy that he cannot sit with someone who makes even one criticism of a Madani. And the Ustad left, we followed.

Some might say this is extremism this is arrogance blah blah blah but I was there , I saw the hurt that the Ustad felt at such a comment about one pakistani who became a madani and he couldnt tolerate that a neighbour of Nabi Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa sallam have such a comment made about him.

If there was any good in me, I too would have benefitted from the ulama and learnt a small portion of adab but it is my own unfortunate state that I have not learnt anything.

Pakistan vs england today 4th one day match

we are winning 2-1 only need one more win out of 2 to clinch the series easy

Good luck Pakistan, hope they humiliate england again and show we are the next world chapions

equanimity — Sun, 18 Dec 2005 - 21:26

it was sad

but you are forgetting the fact PAKISTAN REACHED THE FINAL

there no shame in being number 2 in the world

and theres no shame in losing to australia they were simply the best in the world

as a true fan i was proud that pakistan reached the finals with such a young team, anyways lets not dwell on the past but look to the future

as pakistan once again look like world beaters

MuslimSisLilSis — Sun, 18 Dec 2005 - 21:29

Yes Pakistan did reach the final

but it wasnt even a CLOSE match

the defeat was embarrassing

I remember being teased in school cos I suported Pakiland

its no shame in being 2nd

but there is shame in losing the way they did

equanimity — Sun, 18 Dec 2005 - 21:31

im sorry you got teased for it, may be thats why your so bitter

but let it go, its gone

next world cup 2007

bring it on ! twisted
