Too Much Islam?
Apr 07, 2007
PJ Mir, Pakistan's media manager during the World Cup, has blamed the influence of religion in the dressing room for Pakistan's disastrous performance in the Caribbean.
Speaking to reporters after his appearance at the performance evaluation committee looking into Pakistan's shambolic display, Mir said, "I could not disclose this fact before, but today I inform the media that most of the members had no focus on cricket. Their fixation was on preaching, affecting the team's preparations."
Devil's Advocate: Hey, the outcomes of the games were in the hands of Allah. So, really, what's the point of planning and preparation?
You have summed up in one line what I find most disturbing about those that believe in fate.
