Razzaq Gives The Kiss Of Life!

It was murder under lights at Abu Dhabi Stadium and the executioner was - a player of rare ability and a victim of wanton neglect - Abdur Razzaq. He launched a savage assault on the hapless Proteas bowlers which was seen to be believed.

The spirits of Ijaz Ahmed, Gilchrist, Jayasuriya, Klusener & Hussey coursed through Abu Dhabi Stadium on Sunday night to witness the life-time brutality ever executed on a cricket pitch. Pakistan cricket was reeling - they needed a miracle to survive & make a nation believe in themselves. Razzaq restored the missing impetus of Pak cricket: "single-minded determination to win - to try to the last limit within them” - & that is called “PAKISTANISM”

The manner in which Razzaq maltreated the South African bowlers, he is liable to be reported to Human Rights Commission for violating the rights of Botha, Tsotsobe, Peterson, Langeveldt and Morkel. One can exhaust superlatives: incredible, unbelievable, astonishing, amazing and mind-blowing to describe the knock but such an innings is played and witnessed once in a life-time. Surely, Pakistan cricket needs a BUTT-LESS environment to continue doing the miracles more often than once in a Blue moon!
