The Boss is back! (But it's upside down )

One of the all-time great T20 bowlers, Umar Gul, retires from all formats. He was past his peak for a few years, but he dominated the early years of T20Is bowling, before the emergence of mystery spinners.

His dominance is clear from the fact that even after being past his peak for so many years, he still ends with an average of 20.16, economy of 7.65, and strike rate of 15.8!

True Great!

One of my Favorite bowlers growing up.

Was one of the very best when it comes to T20s those Inswinging yorkers were his trademark.

He is in my eyes the greatest Pakistani pacer in T20s till date. I remember him coming on to bowl and choking the opposition consistently to defend below par scores. Unreal pacer who would have made loads of money had he been born just five years later. Would have been a regular fixture in almost every T20 league, a pacer who can bowl economic spells in the death overs would have been heavily in demand in the current T20 circuit.

No mention of this so far on PlanetCricket?

Joe Root, Chris Silverwood (head coach of England) and the current CEO ECB have already said that they'd like to tour Pakistan, given that it is safe. Added to that, most of the current England T20 squad has already played in the PSL. Can't wait for this to happen!

Oh my IPL today. Oh my!

I bet on Kings to win too! What a day.

Just gonna leave this here.

ECB should break the global silence on Pakistan's sad and strange IPL exile | Jonathan Liew | Sport | The Guardian

Not only should the ECB break its silence, but every Cricket board should also at least ask for a credible reason from India that why is this happening. Sports and politics aren't to be mixed.

Cricket is a religion in india
And politics in India thrives on religion.

Unfair for Pak Cricketers

Doesn't that count as political interference?
