Yaar, I’m sitting here fasting on day one, no water, no food, feeling the hunger kick in hard, and still I can’t stop thinking about how our cricket story keeps getting twisted.
This PCB media manipulation thing is real and it’s annoying the hell out of me.
We hammer Namibia by 102 runs – Farhan smashes an unbeaten 100, spinners take them apart, Super 8 is in the bag. Should be proud moment, right?
Instead headlines scream “batting collapse coming”, “Babar pressure cooker”, “team egos destroying everything”.
India has middle-order dot balls and it’s just “needs a small tweak”. Come on man.
Look at what’s happening:
- PCB keeps calling out Indian media for straight-up lies – boycott rumors, trophy apology drama, begging for matches. Their spokesperson literally said “wait and see who actually came knocking”.
- ICC keeps sending PCB violation notices – unauthorized filming, social media posts during games, “misconduct” warnings.
- Pakistani TV channels run doctored AI audio clips twisting BCCI people’s words to make India look like they’re bullying us. BCCI says it’s fake, but the damage is done.
- Even our own shows like The DugOut – two minutes of “good win”, then thirty minutes of “crisis mode”, “no depth”, “Babar DNB again”, “Shaheen benched”. Farhan’s ton? Spin bowling masterclass. Barely gets a mention.
This isn’t honest talk anymore. It’s cherry-picking for drama, views, and TRPs. And we keep eating it up without questioning.
We have to start cross-checking everything ourselves now.
Don’t trust one headline, one panel, one show.
Check PCB’s own statements, ICC emails, ESPNcricinfo, even Indian sites (then cut through their obvious bias).
We need to push back properly – share the real facts, call out the twists, support people who talk sense.
Highlight what actually matters: Farhan stepping up big, Salman Agha making smart calls, spinners owning the game. Yes, we have problems – egos, bad rotation, too much “king kar de ga” hype – I’ve said it myself a million times. But we don’t need our own media or outsiders turning every win into “lucky” and every loss into “Pakistan finished”.
Super 8 is coming fast – England, New Zealand, proper fights ahead.
We can’t walk into it with this negative, manipulated cloud over our heads.
Time to own our story. Fact-check hard. Counter the nonsense. Speak up.
You feeling the same twisted vibes? Which story pissed you off the most lately? Drop it in the comments – let’s call it out together while I try not to think about iftar.
Stay strong on the fast, everyone. Ramadan Mubarak.
