HomePakistan v South Africa in UAE 2010-11 Can someone go THAT cheap? byMurtaza Moiz -November 13, 2010 0 Can someone go that deep into a cheapness? Reports which are coming from London and from PCB clearly showing that the things were not as sever as Haider was portraying. Similarly if I put myself into Haider's shoes, I'd clearly headed to Karachi to be with my family, instead of flying to London and gathering media attention by saying that some people were behind me and they wanted to kill me blah blah blah.Is he really that much a bigger star cast like Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Saeed Anwar, Aamir Sohail and list goes un-ending? Is HE ON THAT STANDARD? What I personally feel now, this was just for gathering media attention and nothing else, already he has a Facebook presence aswell, and yeah speaking of Facebook, yesterday he wrote on his wall that NotW newspaper wanted to bribe him for giving them his interview but he refused it and gave it voluntarily. What else I can say about this gentleman, wanting the fame either by hook or by crook.Such players are usually netted by the newspaper groups like NotW. Just to show his importance, Haider has now started to play such a melo-drama. Although I must say that cricket in today's era is clean and played with spirit of the game. But doing such things to gather international media attention is a thing to worry. I shouldn't be saying so but why only Haider got the threats, when 2 nights ago Razzaq played a gem of an inning in Abu Dhabi scoring a ton and winning the match, Razzaq didn't got any so why and how in the world a player who's literally young in international cricket starting to get threats? If he scored those match winning 19 odd runs, so nothing to brag about it, its a duty being a player of the national side to play for the country as much as he can...And plus he calls Pakistan as his mother (as if we don't rate it), even then was that the right way, or the right way would be to play in the team and show the world how much dedicated person and a cricketer are you who can exert so much of a pressure on his shoulders. I am not defending the managers of the squad as they're too responsible for granting Haider his passport, just because he wanted to buy a mobile subscription sim card. What I've been hearing since couple of days, the thing was that the team management thought to drop Shafiq and Haider to replace with Umar Akmal and MoYo, so in retaliation he took such drastic step, and I am 110% sure that no one can't dare to take such a step with out a proper backing, he was backed up completely that's why he was confident enough to travel all the way from Dubai to London, that too when during those days when Dubai Airport is flooded with connecting flights for Hajj, so apart from the managerial collapse, one must note these aspects as well...No offense Tags Pakistan v South Africa in UAE 2010-11 Zulqarnain Haider Facebook Twitter
