Bypass the Blogspot Ban via SSH
The woes for Pakistani Internet users continue, it seems as if we have slowly learned to live life half crippled with no one bothering to have a second look at us. Blogspot has been blocked in Pakistan for around eleven months with absolutely no sign of relief, but despite all hurdles created by our [...]
Shoaib, The Spit Bull
Cricket Blogger of Pakistan: The Shoaib Akhar saga continues, it seems the most probable reason for his return to Pakistan is the heated discussion he had with Bob Woolmer during the second day of the Second Test Match between South Africa and Pakistan. TV coverage just saw a heated discussion between the two, it [...]
Nominate Edhi for Nobel Peace Prize 2007
There is an effort around Pakistan to strongly put forth a petition to nominate Abdus Sattar Edhi for the 2007 Noble Peace Prize. Edhi simply needs no introduction and little can I say in his praise will do justice for the man who has lived his entire life for the poor in Pakistan. We [...]
Cricket Bloggers of Pakistan
I would like to announce the creation of Cricket Bloggers of Pakistan, it is just a blog created out of necessity since we felt an apparent absence of one concise place where bloggers from Pakistan can come and write about the Pakistani perspective on the world of cricket. There is little doubt that this [...]
Series-levelling victory by Pakistan at Port Elizabeth
Guest Post: Dr. Haroon Qazi
I would rate Pakistan as the most unpredictable team in the history of world cricket. Shoaib’s first innings spell and Inzamam’s 92 not out were out standing, and not to forget a superb spell by Asif in both innings. Although the team has match winning players, who can on their day [...]
Teeth Maestro’s Blog Stats
There is little doubt that statistics are the bread and butter for any blogger, practically all bloggers have an addiction to look at their statistics page on a daily basis to see the rise and fall of their blog readership. For many bloggers these stats are probably the closely guarded secrets and I too [...]
Silencing Saddam
Its been barely two weeks since Saddam Hussein was sent to the gallows. There is not a soul on the earth who would have been sympathetic with this murderer but strangely after watching the ‘assassination’ haphazardly orchestrated by the American forces he may have potentially become a hero. I look beyond the jeering [...]
Sidekick, Darrell Hair
With great satisfaction I would like to report that the Darrell Hair saga continues. It seems that ICC desperately has the urge to employ Darrell Hair on its umpiring panel. It was announced today that Mr. Hair will officiate the triangular one-day series in involving Kenya, Scotland and Canada. You may recall [...]
iPhone - iWant
Steve Jobs typical of his Keynote Address at Mac Expo, being held in San Francisco has created yet another tsunami ripple affect across the globe, when he announced the soon to be released (June 2007) iPhone. Literally all the geek, Mac & gadgetry blogs are lapping up at this brilliant creation which is bound [...]
Waqar Resigns as Bowling Coach
Waqar Younis who has been the bowling coach of the Pakistan Cricket team for approximately one year and today has announced his resignation from the job. It seems that PCB had limited his services as bowling coach for only the test matches which Pakistan was due to play in South African and not the [...]
Eid Mubarak & a Happy New Year
I wish all my readers a very Happy Eid Mubarak and a joyful and exciting new year. Lets hope we can together make this new year be a more peaceful year for the entire world.
As in tradition of my Eid-ul-Fitr post I have again initiated a blogroll of bloggers around the Pakistani Blogoshpere who [...]
