"I noted the fielding change by The Khan subsequent to the sugar and flour inquiry report, but my question is who is the spare now?"

"The most well-known spare used to be Prince Harry but then Prince William and his wife proceeded to have many children so I guess the spare now is Prince George's younger sister...for your information there are no spares in cricket, there are substitutes and the substitute sits on the sidelines till a player is injured and the umpire may allow the substitute to take over..."

"That's technically incorrect. If a ball goes out of shape and needs to be changed then the umpire selects another from a box of balls from previous matches that is closest in terms of wear and tear to the ball that needs to be replaced."

"I heard the ball out of shape and I base this suggestion totally in the context of Afridi sahib's footage of being the fastest runner in the cabinet with the ballot box in his arms..."

"Don't be facetious; anyway, Afridi retains SAFRON but do you think it was wise to place Swati, a water buffalo hater as we all learnt, as the minister of narcotics, I mean today farm output courtesy the sugar and flour crisis is looming very large on the news horizons..."

"Don't be facetious. What about Babar Awan's elevation?"

"Very appropriate I think. To place a man who is not in parliament to head the parliamentary committee would ensure that there are no preconceived..."

"Dear lord, anyway I would restate that no player has been injured and no substitute has replaced anyone - Dawood retains all but the Ministry of Industries which has gone to Hammad Azhar..."

"And that's The Khan's spare - Hammad Azhar. He is personable, does not generate conflict, can work within the most trying conditions, read working under arrogant turf protecting ministers which account for his summary dismissal from one ministry to another with absolutely no criticism from him and..."

"I thought the Engineering Development Board was Dawood's most favoured baby so to speak."

"For your information a deal to renegotiate the contract with Independent Power Producers, considered necessary and critical, was all but forged between The Khan administration and the IPPs but Rousch, of the Razzak Dawood family, had some reservations and Hammad Azhar was tasked to resolve their concerns and Azhar has yet to hold a single meeting so far..."

"Personable chap Azhar as I said. Anyway a change means not only a change in fielding placements but a change - kabash with some, induct others with..."

"Perhaps and don't get mad at me The Khan is not the only member in the Selection Committee?"

"Oh shush. The Khan says he is coming after all the baddies and I will give your name..."

"I hear the sugar and flour mafia are shivering in their boots with that threat given that The Khan has succeeded during 18 months of taking corruption ridden leaders of the opposition to task and..."

"Give him a bit more time please."

"OK."
