Don’t lambaste me, I am a Cricketer...

Well, well how they perform and what they do in the name of Pakistan…but they are our “Qaumi” (National) heroes and also may be very publicity starved or may be media hungers for them.

Showing their faces, apart from the semi-lush grounds, on the bottle of every other cola or a biscuit pack.

Hey, I am talking about no one else but our –not mine—very dear Cricket **stars**.

Today I was listening “PTV Khabarnama” that these guys are paid several thousands rupees as monthly salary. There are three categories made for them “A, B, and C”.

The C category player get as much as Rs. 75,000 as monthly salary which is the lowest of three. The star in A Category will get the highest i.e. Rs. 150,000 and include players like Inzamam_Mr. Captain, Vice Captain, Shoaib Akhtar…etc.

And not to forget the taste of stardom which they get for Free.

Well what these stars actually do so they be justified of getting that much salary”. And this is not all the board gave them all other facilities –medical, transport etc.. for free—and in return they give us continues losses not to forget their bad attitudes and presentation abroad which is a continuous blot on the face of Pakistanis.

I dreamt of our players be as neat and nicely crewed as Aussies and Kiwis…well PCB should appraise them of what they are giving in return of those bucks?? – Hehehe kaheen PCB kar he na lai--
