When I was in Australia no one seemed to care much about Pakistanis.
I blamed it all on a guy who played at my club who would appeal and send you off in the nets by the Salman.
No one liked Salman, ofcourse little of this had to do with his nationality, and mostly the sending off in the nets, and for those few unlucky enough to bat with him, his complete lack of single taking when he was facing until the last ball of the over.
But now Salman, or as I tried to nick name him, the big fish, has departed from club cricket, Pakistanis are finally getting a fair go.
It all stared with Usman Khawaja from NSWales.
Who in being picked for NSWales, has been the first Pakistani born cricketer to ever play for Australia, if you catch my drift.
Then South Australia couldn’t find any more talented players in NSWales or Victoria, so they went looking overseas, and found Younis Elvis Khan.
Khan has contributed a respectable 217 runs (one hungy, one fitty) @ 43 in 3 matches, but has spent most of his time watching the Hebrew Hammer Klinger bat.
So he has really earnt his money.
But he has other commitments mid season, or whatever, and so South Australia thought they would dip back into the well, and since its 2020 season, and Graham Napier is buys in Wellington they have picked Sohail Tanvir (subject to the indians not touring Pakistan).
The worlds best 2020 bowler, just pipping out Dirty Dirk Nannes for the title.
Since when has Adelaide been so into the brown sugar?
Since they produced Australia’s first ever aboriginal test cricketer, I spose, but this season they will have had one aboriginal player in my man daniel christian, and two Pakistanis.
Not too mention Michael Klinger, who is not called the Hebrew Hammer because he looks like Adam Goldberg.
They will perhaps be the most multicultural first class team in Australia since Richard Chee Quee (China), played alongside Greg Matthews (fuck knows).
If nothing else this does open up the One Aboriginal, Two Pakistanis and a Jew walk into a bar jokes.
