Disgusting.
A peaceful protest is set to take place on the 27th. Yet the military plan to use it to make an example of anyone questioning their rule. They are planning a bloodbath.
I commend the brave souls who stand up for their country against this tyrannical regime.
Inshallah the rest of the world will speak up soon. I just pray it doesn’t take an atrocity to make them see how bad things are.
A very scary time to be a Pakistani.
Imagine you are 21 years old. You have played eight first-class matches in your life. You did not even have a passport a week ago.
Then you land in England.
Your first over averages 89.7mph. Every single delivery of that over is quicker than every other ball any Pakistan bowler has sent down on this entire tour. You trap the greatest Test batter England has produced before you have conceded a single run in Test cricket. You finish with four wickets.
Then you come back with the bat, score 81 from the bottom of the order in a day, and end up as the second-highest run scorer of the side. You break the record for the most sixes by a debutant in Test history. And you play an innings that wakes up an entire ground, and an entire country, in the space of a couple of hours.
That is where you tell the world that Pakistan has never had a shortage of talent. Only a shortage of people willing to look for it.
What a story. What an absolute beauty of a Test cricket session.
Adding my support here to GC and the other former international captains. I hope the court ordered medical assessment be allowed to run its course, and that family visits continue. I hope Imran Khan is treated with the dignity anyone deserves
Respect for Pat Cummins for showing guts & speaking against barbaric act of Pakistani army against Imran Khan.
I can bet, Indian Cricketers can never do that. They would never want to lose their fans in Pakistan. They can never speak against the barbaric act done against a cricketing legend.
It is good time to expose Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir but no big active Indian Cricketer will show their guts to speak against him & Pakistan's government the way Pat Cummins did!
What an extraordinary moment at Lord’s.
Cricket gave Imran Khan to the world, and today the cricketing world refuses to forget him.
Former England captain @Athersmike speaks up for Pakistan’s greatest cricketing icon on the world stage, while much of Pakistan’s own media remains afraid to even mention his name.
A powerful moment. A shameful contrast.
