Seaview restriction off in karachi ...
what a comment i read on tribune ..
" A blockade should be imposed,All the uncivilised barbarians from the city descend on seaview with their pathetic attitudes towards women & their jaundiced view of women’s role in society.
Seaview should be blockaded completely like it is on new years eve so these people are restricted to their areas & don’t try to infect the saner elements of society with their medieval values & attitudes. "

Pakistan team manager Intikhab Alam denied reports that Shoaib Akhtar was not fully motivated for the huge semi final clash against arch rivals India in Mohali.
"Shoaib's been taking part fully in practice and is available for selection. He's very much part of the squad and there is no question that he is keen to play in this match and is ready for the semi final."
Intikhab who has coached the Pakistan side to a previous World Cup victory in Australia in 1992 and the Twenty20 World Cup in England in 2009 rubbished reports that Akhtar's focus was no longer on cricket after announcing his retirement from international cricket last week.
"The rumours about Shoaib no longer focussing on cricket after announcing his retirement are false. Shoaib has been training hard with his team mates throughout the tournament and it's been no different since he announced his retirement. He's taken part fully in training and not missed any sessions."
Akhtar has been nursing a long term knee injury and whilst he is available to the Pakistan side for Wednesday's match, Alam did admit that Akhtar has not been 100% fit at any point during the World Cup.
"I wouldn't say Shoaib is 100% match fit. He's been carrying a knee problem and has been in pain during the tournament, but to his credit has still managed to play some matches.
Alam didn't give away much when quizzed about whether the temptation for the touring selection committee would be to throw Shoaib into such a huge match as the semi final, rather than risk the inexperienced left arm seamer Wahab Riaz who has been out of sorts during the World Cup.
"We'll have to wait and see. Let's see what happens over the next couple of days. We still have a couple of days to decide, look at the wicket and then pick our side" was the non committal response from Alam.

5 Reasons why Pakistan will win the WC !
1) Intikhab Alam
Ask a newborn in Pakistan who do you want as the National cricket teams coach and he'll say Intikhab Alam. He wouldn't even know how Intikhab uncle looks like but he'll know that this was the same coach who was with us when we won the World cup in 1992 and even when we won the T20 World cup in 2009. Even though he isn't coach, his mere presence has charged the team up, or maybe it's just the effect of a rare sane person in the squad.
2) Aqib Javed
One more personality in the same category as above is the man who was spotted by Imran khan when he was 17 years old. He bowled in the 1992 World Cup with the intelligence that can be branded as gifted (who can forget his slower delivery which got Mark Greatbatch).
Give him extra points as he was the bowling coach in the T20 campaign in 2009 as well. Imran Khan always said he was more intelligent than Wasim and Waqar, it's time to show the world how true this is.
3) Led by a Khan
The only times we have won World Titles was when our leader had a Khan tag.
Imran Khan did it 1992
Younus Khan did it in 2009
and Shahid Khan will do it in 2011
4) Beating the unbeaten
New Zealand was an unbeaten side in the 1992 WC, the only side to beat them was Pakistan. The cornered tigers actually humbled them twice. The most memorable was the one that came in later in the Semi finals
South Africa romped over all their opponents in the 2009 T20 WC, until the men in green put the breaks on in a nail biting finish
Our men have already given an indication on what is to come by beating the unbeaten Aussies and putting to halt what has been an amazing winning streak of 34 games on the trott spanning 3 World cup tournaments.
5) Dethrone Australia
Whom did we dethrone when we won the cup in 1992 ?
Australia
Whom do we have dethrone when we do it again on the 2nd of April 2011 ?
Oops ! Australia again
The only two times we won the title, the captain quit (atleast that particular form of the game). Imran khan called it quits after 1992 and Younus khan announced his retirement from the T20 version. Only if Afridi can make a similar announcement, this should be the final nail in the coffin.
Here's to Pakistan's Third ICC World Title !
