Cricket: World Champions from UK fall to Pakistani Feet

As speculated in the mid of the test series, Pakistan has whitewashed the test series, crushing England to 3-0 and England has been thrown into dustbin. After choosing to bat, Pakistan in the third test were bowled out for an obnoxiously low score on a good batting strip. England, too, faltered in their first innings and struggled against the spin prowess of Rehman once again.

Pakistan has registered a resounding win in the third Test match and they have completely outplayed the World Number 1 Test side. It was an absorbing Test match and there was a bizarre start to it with wickets falling like dried leaves from trees - both English and Pakistani.

Who would have thought before the onset of the test series that they would clean sweep the world No. 1 team at the start of the series?

The ICC, essentially controlled by Indo-England, made wrong decision on Pakistan’s best bowlers, hoping that without them Pakistani team would crash sooner than later. But now they have come even stronger, kicking the top test team England left, right and centre and back.

And all powerful UK's Cameron boys are made invalid.

This is the first time Pakistan have inflicted a whitewash over England. The Cameron boys would like to forget this tour as a bad dream by enjoying more cocktails.

This is also the first time since 1907 that a team has won a Test after being bowled out for less than 100 in the first innings of the match. Pakistan was restricted to mere 99 while London was crushed with meagre 72 runs in the second test- the lowest for England. This is England's first series loss since 2009. The last whitewash they suffered was the 2006-07 Ashes.

Even after this crushing white wash defeat at the hands of an ordinary looking Pakistani team battling with its own problems of adjustments and facing conspiratorial operations by the Indo-UK led notorious ICC, England would stay as the No.1 team for the moment, but that would be seriously questioned by the critics.

Pakistan continues their winning momentum under Misbah and Mohsin Khan with huge element of luck. The young brigade of Azhar and Shafiq stood up to be counted as new batboys.

Azhar Ali, the Man of the Match for his marathon knock of 157, made a very relevant point: “When you score runs and your team wins, it gives a lot of satisfaction”. Generally batboys make merry at the crease and then let the opponents win the match, but collects the bogus “man of match” post as well.

Rehman emerged from the shadows of Ajmal and both now have remained unconquered. Saeed Ajmal is the Man of the Series for picking 24 wickets in the series against the No 1 side in the world -his best ever in a series. A world record equalling 43 LBW decisions were made in the series. They were rolled over by the spinners with Umar Gul making some useful contributions.

Owning to reckless Pakistani bowling, the English batting collapsed and became a huge disappointment for terrocratic UK and its allies like India while none of the batsmen showed any sort of consistency, their bowlers were continuously let down by the batters.

Misbah, the Pakistani skipper said he just can't explain this in words except that it was a wonderful performance from the team. Andrew John Strauss, English captain is still living in the world of batboys’ wonders when bowlers are making steady inroads into cricket games, upsetting all lingering false hopes of big scores. Highly disappointed, Strauss says he is surprised that they did not get a lot of big scores in the series. “We have to give credit to Pakistan”.

One thing looks a credible possibility. Had the bowlers and fielders been encouraged to be reckless with proper training right from the beginning, surely, the Test would have either evolved into a perfect somewhat reliable cricket format, or disappeared altogether, owing to fanatic objections from batboys who want to ”shine" with bogus runs at the cost of others.

The Pak-England series has exposed All best known English batboys have been as fake batboys. None made any "impressive" score. Now the ICC must rethink about abandoning test with 2 innings meant essentially to promote batboys with huge run scores through fixings. .

How come the world champions from UK burst out like weak balloons? The issue here is that England as usual came to play against Pakistan hoping to invoke “give and take” 100 plus etc as per the mutually designed exchange programs, but Pakistani players refused to oblige while the Pak bowlers played their own version of cricket.
