PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME THE BULL SHIT ABOUT NASIM ASHRAF RESIGNING!!
Cricket Bloggers of Pakistan: Nasim Ashraf offered to resign, trying to follow the footsteps of Inzamam-ul-Haq who can be considered valiant enough to have accepted responsibility for the World Cup disaster. Nasim Ashraf, the supposed leader of the Pakistan Cricket Board literally ran from the media hovering someplace at an undisclosed location in the interior of Sindh, when on the other hand he should have been manning the fort, and ready to stand to take the heat, front and center. After all it was on his watch that things were going haywire, leading to the culmination of a first round exit.

Immediately a few days after the fateful loss to Ireland followed by the disastrous news of Bob Woolmers death Geo.Tv was able to locate this whimpering Son-of-a-bitch roasting his sorry ass at some feudal lord harem in Sindh. When Geo.Tv talked to him live in a telephonic conversation Ashraf had not much to say to defend the PCB organization but very soon indicated in a casual off-the-cuff remark in a last ditch attempt to save his sanity in front of millions watching Geo.Tv, that he had already tendered his resignation to the President of Pakistan.

_{There is a must watch video on Nasim Ashraf later in the post}

After this statement it was ironic that no one was able to confirm if he had truly sent a letter of resignation only to find out today that the President had outright rejected his resignation and wants him to continue heading the PCB. The statement also goes on to include his vision to revamp the cricketing structure in Pakistan etc etc … don’t bother reading it as its just hot air being blown from a faithful President’s Lap dog.

This is the same person who stood in front of the Senate answering the questions thrown at him but did not for one moment accept responsibility for the disaster and blamed it on everyone except himself, but, BY THE WAY during the hearing he did not forget to mention that he had tendered his resignation to the President. Honestly one should ask him, if he does not believe himself to be at fault what was the reason to submit a resignation? As if to write….

Dear Mr. President,

I am submitting my letter of resignation because I did a great job but the team failed miserably. I know you want me to continue at this position so please simply reject my letter of resignation.

Your Faithful ‘Beardnaurd Sheppard’,

Dr. Nasim Ashraf

I strongly suspect the statement made to Geo.tv was just a public distractor, no letter was ever handed to the President (one must also remember that Musharraf had his head up his own ass with the CJP crisis) so later in due time he probably met the President and told him to make a statement rejecting his letter of resignation, [one must also remember that today's Press Release came from PCB and not the GHQ] on the other hand I feel Musharraf also would never want to show the world to see his team collapsing around him and a resignation by Nasim would just have added to his woes where CJP issue was eating away his popularity.

Imran Khan quite well said in an interview, that there is no doubt that the country is in mess at the moment, how can people assume that cricket will not be affected by the happenings within the country, and we see the evidence quite well as PCB is also in a state of utter chaos. I tend to agree with him, the political upheaval within Pakistan has definitely taken its toll on the sporting arena.

In a little entertainment news you should watch this video of Nasim Ashraf making a fool out of himself playing the flute, my guess is this is the exact same thing he is doing with the Pakistan Cricket Board….. making a fool out of us … or could it be that he does not know any better

I think the cricket lovers of Pakistan deserve answers, Nasim Ashraf has been stepping on toes ever since he took office, to the extent of warning “I have told him {Inzamam} clearly that there should be no pressure on players who don’t pray regularly or any compulsion on them to do it.” this was sparked due to objections raised by English Cricket fans when they saw the entire team offer namaz on the field during a lunch session, they felt religion should be kept outside the sporting arena. I still remain baffled as to how he could even think of calling a person of Islamic Republic of Pakistan and attempt to stop them from praying

I as a passionate cricket lover and a citizen of Pakistan simply demand that he be thrown out and sent back to the United States, he simply does not know shit about ways to revamp the cricket in Pakistan, he simply cannot be considered to be an expert in five months in the office handling a sport which he has never played personally apart from watching a few matches on DirecTV at his home in the United States. I dread what he has dreamed up for us to be shared quite soon, I dread to be at the hands of a surgeon performing a surgery which he has just learnt in five month.
