He has not always been a thinking bowler, his bowling brain being entirely programmed in his early days by that mighty Pakistani fast bowling pair, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. "They were both there at mid-on and mid-off. Every ball I bowled, they would say, 'bowl this one, bowl bouncer'. I never used my own brain. They left and I struggled for a year.

A moment of embarrassment

I'm highly embarrassed for having a leadership that is itself a victim of identity crisis. The above link shows an article from Mubashar Zaidi at BBCUrdu.com, which is about a poem "Leader", written on Mr. George W. Bush and has been included in the text book taught in local colleges. The picture clearly shows that by combining the first alphabet of each line makes it "President George W Bush". Do the overly enlightened officials in the government of Pakistan have the rights to play such games with the minds of young generations? I am totally amazed that why it was felt necessary to include a poem that apparently has an un-known poet and has no sense of poetry with it.
