"The cricket fever has not died down."
"Ah, but what kind of fever is it?"
"I don't get you.'
"Is it malaria fever or zika or typhoid or..."
"Hey, it's just a common cold I thought."
"That's where you are wrong."
"True, we lost to India and now it's going to be harder to stay in the tournament but there is still hope that we may reach the semi finals."
"We have to win all the pool matches and..."
"Pray to Allah."
"I did last time as well."
"Maybe you didn't pray from the heart."
"I sure did, but even if I didn't the rest of Pakistan did, and need I add the country was united in praying for a cricket win - even our fundamentalists were praying for Pakistan's victory."
"Oh well, but anyway we must abandon the practice of making cricket into a partisan game."
"Well, for your information we destroyed hockey by making it partisan and that was courtesy the Zardis and the PML-N is focused on cricket..."
"I meant if Imran Khan who was undisputedly one of the best cricket captains we ever had suggested a change in batting order so why would that suggestion anger anyone and be rejected."
"Are you accusing the man who shall remain nameless of vetoing all Imran Khan's suggestions - a man jealously guarding his control over the Pakistan Cricket Board because Mian sahib entrusted him with it."
"Sheharyar Khan, the able bodied PCB Chairman was disappointed at the team's performance and..."
"Hey, SK was able bodied when he was our Foreign Secretary but with age he is kind of not quite in that league - besides he is the front man for the man who shall remain nameless and why do you forget his service to cricket. I mean he ensured our team went all the way to Zimbabwe to get some practice..."
"Zimbabwe is not a key player in international cricket..."
"OK, but then he got the Pakistan super league going and that too in Dubai and..."
"But that was mostly Pakistani players and that is not good for training for international cricket."
"Oh, you Khanzadehs are so hard to please."
