Even if the Pakistani team is proven not guilty, which seems very unlikely at the moment, we all know that they all are a bunch of shady people who play only for themselves. Their punishment should be exemplary.

In spite of losing, God knows how many matches in a row, they get half a million each from the PCB for winning the Oval test match.

Question: Aren’t these guys paid money to play and win? Some of them get up to 800,000 rupees per test match. So why pay them extra for doing what they are supposed to do? Or….were they paid their cut for losing the first two? Hmmm?

Getting an Indian visa has become as tough as getting an American one, says popular singer Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan, who was on a four-city tour of the country.

But he maintains that films are the two “strong” bonds between India and Pakistan.

“Visa has become an issue in the past four to five months. It (Indian visa) is now as difficult as getting an American visa. Insha Allah things will change,” Shafqat, told in an interview after his Delhi gig, the sixth till date.

“We are hoping it is one of those good-days-bad-days thing. Sometimes we go to the embassy and ask for a day’s visa and they permit us for a month. Sometimes we have all the papers ready, but they deny us a visa even when we tell them that the person who has invited us is going to be bankrupt,” said Shafqat.
