Partly Facetious : Khan doesn't make the same mistake

"Ricky Ponting is being quoted more today in Pakistan than when he was the captain of the Australian cricket team."
"W are a people who have great respect for outstanding performers, past and present, be they cricketers or be they politicians..."
"Is that why we continue to vote for those who do little or no development and who continue to rape our land, our country's limited resources, our..."
"Indeed, and I would hope The Khan doesn't make the same mistake as his predecessors - you know discounting their electoral strength just because the courts have convicted them."
"Very funny, anyway Ponting said that Pakistan beats whoever they want to beat and they lose from whoever they want to. It's not Pakistan vs the opposition. It's Pakistan vs Pakistan."
"Ha, ha, and you know he wasn't being facetious."
"So my question: you reckon the cricket team would want to beat Afghanistan? I mean the Afghan political team came on a two day visit and while the government press release highlighted the success of the trip yet reports indicate that The Khan administration, like his predecessors, did not give in to the Afghan rather inane demand from our perspective to allow India road access to trade with Afghanistan and...and wait...Ashraf Ghani also thought it appropriate to visit a man bound to irritate The Khan."
"In that case, Maulana Fazlur Rehman did an Ashraf Ghani as during his meeting with the Afghan President he said that we do not justify the presence of foreign forces in Afghanistan but we do justify the resistance against them."
"Thank the Good Lord, The Khan didn't say it! I mean the number of faux pas made by The Khan in his statements on Afghanistan rival...rival...why they Trump's attacks on...on...why on all around him and the world at large, except Family Trump."
"Don't be facetious; anyway for our cricket team to be in synch with our foreign policy when many members of the cabinet are not in synch with our foreign policy is highly unlikely."
"And particularly as Ponting said correctly when the team has yet to decide how to play the game."
"You reckon if people continue to hurl insults at the team members before the match..."
"Not sure how that will work - see what works in one game may not in another. That's the beauty of being a member of the cricket squad..."
"Which, as our Prime Minister defending u-turns says..."
"Ha ha, indeed."
