Ambar wrote:ICC will never ban Pakistan no matter how serious/how frequent the infractions.Cricket is not football,it is played by less than dozen countries and much of the revenue generation comes from S.Asia.170m cricket fans is a huge chunk to lose and if anything the oligarchs in BCCI /affiliated leagues and cricket boards in India will vociferously lobby to save the Pakis.

Ambar,

I agree with you that it's unlikely that ICC will formally ban Pakistan. However, very few teams will play with it. Nobody is going to tour Pakistan in the foreseeable future. And while the Pakis may go to Australia, Sri Lanka and even England for tours, they will be tainted matches.

Ultimately it's really not about the 170 million cricket fans in Pakistan. It's about their purchasing power. The money is not in gate turnstiles, it's in the advertising, both in stadia as well as on TV. And 80-90 per cent of that is generated in India and the majority of the rest is in ANZ, South Africa and England. From a pure business perspective IMO the cricketing world wouldn't even notice the absence of the Pakis.

However, for political reasons various entities within the ICC will try to prop up the nation. The English as a useful leverage against India. The Sharad Pawar types as useful leverage against white domination etc. In short true to its nature even within the cricketing world they will survive as a co**om for use by others when needed.

But wait, what an apt name for the Paki cricket boss. His surname in one word sums up the state of the game in that country! The One and Only works in mysterious ways but He/She/It does have a wicked sense of humour.

Chinmayanand wrote:Musharraf faces abusive callers during telethon
Aiming to enter political arena in Pakistan, the former military ruler's first direct dialogue with the people threw up some bitter moments for him as he faced an abusive and offensive audience. Taking part in a telethon to raise funds for millions of victims of the country's flood devastation, former President Pervez Musharraf, who is on a self-imposed exile, faced several abusive callers who blamed him for Pakistan's problems.

A retired brigadier who called the telethon organised by a TV news channel said: "Musharraf sahab, I have two shoes for you..." He was then abruptly cut off.

Another caller asked: "Where is the money amassed for Muzaffarabad (the area affected by the 2005 earthquake)? You should account for it."

Yet another caller said: "You have sold out the daughters of Pakistan to the US. Where are the dollars so earned?"

Another caller asked Musharraf to account for the number of persons "slaughtered" by him during the 2007 military operation against radical elements holed up in the Lal Masjid in Islamabad.

One more caller said: "We can never forgive you for what you have done to Pakistan. You have plundered Pakistan to the extreme and you destroyed the country. Curse on you, curse on you."
It seems Musharaff is the right person for Pakistan, US & India combined.

The amount of weapons thrown to pakistan post 9-11 is just mind-boggling. Entire new air force, army, and navy have been created. Hundreds of aircraft, dozens of ships, 1000s upon 1000s of missiles. Surely, the water got to some of it?

100,000 Starving Kids in Pakistan Face Death
Children Left Homeless by Pakistan's Floods in Danger of Dying because They Do Not Have Enough to Eat, UNICEF Says

( Inko Ak47 dho and supply few more F16, Missiles and destroyers for Gazwa be _Hind to loot Maal-e ghanimat, Khum and Booty etc)
AP) Suhani Bunglani fans flies away from her two baby girls as one sleeps motionless while the other stares without blinking at the roof of their tent, her empty belly bulging beneath a green flowered shirt. Their newborn sister already died on the ground inside this steamy shelter at just 4 days old, after the family's escape from violent floods that drowned a huge swath of Pakistan. Now the girls, ages 1 and 2, are slowly starving, with shriveled arms and legs as fragile as twigs. More than 100,000 children left homeless by Pakistan's floods are in danger of dying because they simply do not have enough to eat, according to UNICEF. Children already weak from living on too little food in poor rural areas before the floods are fighting to stay alive, as diarrhea, respiratory diseases and malaria attack their emaciated bodies. Doctors roaming the 100-degree camp that reeks of urine and animal manure have warned Bunglani three times to take her children to the hospital, or they will die. The mother says she knows they need help, but she cannot leave the tent without her husband's consent. She must stay until he returns, even if it means risking her daughters' lives.

pakis get butt slapped

No neutral series for Pakistan - Collier
David Collier, the chief executive of the ECB, has said that Pakistan are unlikely to be welcomed back to England for any series outside the Future Tours Programme, after relationships between the two boards dipped to a new low following the allegations from the PCB chairman, Ijaz Butt, that England's players accepted a bribe to lose the third ODI at The Oval on Friday.

And like a true paki once he realized that he had bitten more than what he could chew he is now in taqqiya mode
Ijaz Butt's match-fixing denials reveal his knack for double-talk
Even by Ijaz Butt's flip-flop standards, his tirade after last Friday's one-day international between England and Pakistan at The Oval, with insinuations of English match-fixing, was pretty astonishing, especially now that he has denied he said what he said.

Pakistani Flood Victim Sets Himself on Fire
A father left homeless by Pakistan's devastating floods set himself on fire today outside the prime minister's private residence, where the man had come to beg for help.

^^^ My point was that I believe western press is drumming up sympathy for the flood relief victims (not that it is not justifiable, the suffering is real) to justify the flow of funds into the country. Earlier they had to use excuses like fight against Taliban to send money which was immediately converted to F-16s, now they can send it as aid money which will be converted to weapons again.
We have similar issues in India howwhere flow of funds is diverted to specific NGOs. I have yet to see Angelina Jolie meeting MMS for relief of farmers committing suicide because of land grab & chemical depletion of soil (leading to bankruptcies).

Brad Goodman,
Your feelings in this regard are justifiable. It is not just little children but also Pakistani minorities who are suffering at the bottom of the food chain in this flood. The problem is that the sympathy generated and moolah sent to Pakistan will barely be used for flood relief. And the western countries sending this moolah know it.

Watched a video off the TSPA channel on youtube. If Pakistanis are watching those videos & thinking mashallah how martial our fauj is, sure shows how demented these chutiyas are. I could make a better video than that, much more realistic than the naked facade they have created. No wonder Pakistan does not have a film industry worth its name, all their best actors are in their terrorist Army.

TAPI gas pipeline project inked-Pakistan official (Reuters)
(Reuters) - Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India on Monday inked the framework of an agreement to build a gigantic pipeline pumping natural gas to south Asia, a Pakistani official said. The initial framework agreement for the project named after four countries, commonly known as TAPI and valued at more than $3 billion, has been stalled due to war in Afghanistan.
Pakistan set to join TAPI gas pipeline (UPI)
Delegates from Turkmenistan and Afghanistan were to have met in Kabul to sign an agreement on a natural gas pipeline to Pakistan and India at the end of August. A 1,043-mile pipeline would move gas from the Dauletabad gas field in Turkmenistan to consumers in Pakistan and India after transiting Afghanistan. Turkmenistan has more than 40 trillion cubic feet of gas in its Dauletabad gas field.
The project is seen as a rival to Iran's plans to build its own pipeline to Pakistan from the giant offshore South Pars gas field in the Persian Gulf.

Donors demand transparency in flood aid
( yeh Aid mill bhi jaye to Kya Hai, har Poak BC, har Poak harami ,lette hai fuddhu pride in beimani.Chaaaal rahi yeh dekho Qasim se Kahani , Kuffir ka paisa, Poak ki jabani )
UNITED NATIONS, Sep 19: The World Bank and the United States on Sunday urged Pakistan to take steps to reassure donor countries that it is capable of using their flood aid responsibly and transparently and that it can enact reforms. Massive flooding in Pakistan began in late July and swept through the country, leaving an area almost the size of England under water. The United Nations has said the floods affected more than 20 million people, damaged or destroyed nearly 1.9 million homes and killed 1,700 people.
World Bank President Robert Zoellick told a high-level UN meeting on Pakistan that Islamabad would have to prove its ability to manage foreign aid ahead of an October meeting in Brussels to review a flood damage assessment report the World Bank and Asian Development Bank are preparing. "To make most effective use of help and even to secure full donor support, the government will need a reconstruction founded on transparency, accountability, flexibility, backed by law," Zoellick said. "Senior Pakistani officials have told us that this is what they wish to do," he said. "Yet experience from many countries warns that the machinery tends to slide back to business as usual." He added that the Pakistani government should "continue to take concrete steps by the October meeting, backed by law, so we have an opportunity to build Pakistani ownership, governance an

http://cafepyala.blogspot.com/2010/09/e ... media.html
Analytical posters like Shiv may want to go through the numbers here. Briefly:
It takes Rs. 40 million per month, for a privately-run, news channel in Pakistan. Apparently, advertising is the only source generating income for privately owned TV channels. The windfall from advertising industry, in case of top 32 channels, is at best Rs. 592 million. At average, every channel earns Rs. 1.7 million per month from advertising. Either the shortfall is compensated by mysterious sources or the electronic-media bubble is heading for a big burst.

TSP define itself with more hatred for Hindus than love for the very own children. As long as they can do little damage to India , all sacrifices inc children are worth in their mind. The aid tamasha, food shortage, Helis etc , let it be via galactic way instead of Wagha and if children die , so be it per the brothers and sisters of Qasib and sons of Qasim.

In the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the self proclaimed safe haven for the Muslims of the Indian Sub Continent, security forces are turned loose on Muslims of the minority Shia sect in Karachi who were mourning the targeted killing of one of their own sectarian leaders resulting in three deaths:

Nine more killed as violence escalates in Karachi

* 3 killed after protesters clash with Rangers in Liaquatabad Town

* Jafferia Alliance demands action against security personnel involved in incident

By Faraz Khan

KARACHI: Violence claimed the lives of nine more people in Karachi on Monday.

Three people were shot dead during violent protests that erupted after the funeral of another target killing victim, Tanvir Abbas Rizvi, who had been gunned down on Sunday. Following the funeral in Rizvia police precincts in Liaquatabad Town, protesters took to the streets and set many vehicles on fire.

Witnesses told Daily Times that Rangers, who were deployed at the spot, opened fire on the participants. Nasir Ali, 20, son of Wahid Ali, and Akbar were killed, while around half a dozen were wounded in the firing. Another protester Shahzaib Abbas was later shot dead at the Rizvia stop.

Miscreants later set fire to five vehicles, 15 roadside stalls and various shops in the Golimar and Rizvia areas and one passenger bus in Abul Hassan Isphani Road.

Police and Rangers were deployed in the areas to bring the situation under control.

Leaders and clerics of the Majlis-e-Wehdat-e-Muslimeen, the Jafferia Alliance Pakistan and the Imamia Students’ Organisation condemned the deaths. “We will march with the bodies of the victims to the Rangers Headquarter to stage a protest today (Tuesday), if the government does not fulfill our demands by taking action against the personnel,” said Shia clerics.

On the other hand, Rangers personnel said that they had only fired in self-defence after the mob attacked them. ………………….

Three US IT companies close operations in Karachi
KARACHI: The US companies doing business in Information Technology (IT) sector have started closing down their operations in the country.

According to sources, during last few weeks, three US software companies closed down their operations in Karachi. First of all PIXSENSE closed down its operation in Karachi and terminated all its employees, after which Mobile Complete also winded up its operations and relieved its staff of their duties.

Now Softtech www company has also wound up its 80 percent business and terminated the services of many of its employees. The employees previously working in these companies said that the US companies closed down their operations in the city citing poor law and order situation.

Sources said the owners of these companies are shifting their businesses to other countries. This development has spread a layer of uncertainty in IT sector because many software engineers and experts have been left jobless

Holbrooke and Shah announce more aid to flood ravaged Pakistan

LINK
The United States will increase its commitment by $76 million, the State Department announced, bringing its assistance package to $345 million. The United Nations called for $2 billion in aid relief for Pakistan over the weekend, on top of their original $459 million appeal, which is now 80 percent funded.
But Holbrooke made clear that the United States and the international community is not committing to rebuilding Pakistan alone over the long term and the Pakistani government would have to take the lead. :((

"The international community is not going to be able to pick up the full costs of the reconstruction phase, the tens of billions of dollars. The international community has been quite generous already," :(( Holbrooke said.

Despite his best efforts, Holbrooke didn't completely avoid becoming embroiled in media controversies during his latest trip to Pakistan. The U.S. Embassy had to deny that Holbrooke made a statement that the United States would not "accept slackness" from the Pakistani military in the war on terror.

Also, Pakistan's Dawn newspaper reported that Holbrooke told reporters in Pakistan that he believed that Pakistan's civilian leadership would survive the latest crisis, saying, "I don't see evidence that the government is drowning."

Nevertheless, Holbrooke sounded pessimistic about the ability of Pakistan to handle the fallout from the flood disaster on its own. When asked Monday if the government in Islamabad would ever have enough money to dig themselves out of the crisis, Holbrooke said, "Nobody knows... probably not." :((

Pakistan's chaotic tour of England degenerated into near anarchy on the morning of the fourth one-day international at Lord's on Monday, a match the visitors went on to win by 38 runs.

Match referee Jeff Crowe was then forced to intervene after a dispute in the nets between England batsman Jonathan Trott and Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz.

Folks,

Please indulge me while I do an == with TSP floods.

The incessant rains in north India has created a flood situation in wester UP and uttara khand with Tihiri Dam overflowing. The flood waters are likely to devastate huge tracts of Western UP.

Contrasting the enormity of the situation in both cases. The magnitude of the floods is similar. Having said so, why is the UP govt not creating a hue and cry regarding the floods.

The answer seems to be that we are not ==. My light bulb moment if you will.

Just some rambling thoughts.
