"So Qadri is clean bowled?"
"This obsession with cricket terminology in our politics..."
"This is Imran Khan's legacy and need I remind you it has enabled our politicians to temper their language and not use abusive words against each other."
"Except in the assemblies, provincial and national when any party's leader is criticised or when..."
"I agree, but I don't think Qadri has been clean bowled. He says he is going to launch another movement soon and lets be honest there are around 100,000 to 200,000 that have benefited from his universities and schools and other institutions and who are willing to come out on the streets and stay on the streets even in sub-zero temperature and now as you know temperatures have risen..."
"Indeed, but will he be allowed to congregate these lakh or two?"
"The Attorney General seemed to be supporting Qadri in the court and perhaps he maybe allowed to park his container and his followers on Jinnah Avenue again."
"Maybe, but the question is where will he start the march from? If from the Punjab, then it maybe difficult for him to get the necessary permission from the provincial government."
"I propose that he begins the march from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. See there Imran Khan leads in the provincial polls and he is a Qadri sympathiser; if he supports Qadri then the march can be a success. Besides Peshawar is much closer to the federal capital then Lahore or Gujranwala..."
"Need I remind you that Khan's lead is narrowing in the provincial polls with the Awami National Party (ANP) now supporting talks with the Taliban."
"Right, but the ANP has engaged in so much hera pheri (wheeling dealing) that I doubt if they would emerge as the largest party there, and the surveys support that."
"Indeed, but I don't think Qadri has been clean bowled."
"The Supreme Court threw out his petition but if you think another political party can file the same petition then..."
"I think he is out on count of a leg before the wicket."
"Oh dear."
"Yep, his leg was out and you and I both know that his leg has been out since his return to this country?"
"You are being facetious."
