A very sad culture. I've spoken to nurses who have worked in Somalia and as you write young girls are married off and become "baby producing factories" ( not my words ) and the other sad thing that was mentioned is that these girls are only allowed outside of where they live if they are covered from head to toe and there many suffered from rickets
He should 1st campaign about moslem mob violence again Christians and Hindus in his own country. Or even the thousands of born and debt slaves. Or even the mistreatment of Afghan refugees. Or even the vast numbers of hungry, poverty stricken, landless people. Maybe he could even mention the endemic corruption all through his own country that results in poverty and injustice.
You left out honour killings, estimated at about 1000 a year. Something that # me too, BLM, UN Womens rights whatever turn a blind eye to as apparently does Usman
I forgot these killings. If Pakistan is like Bangladesh then in many villages as many as 1/3 of children never go to any school. The schools all charge exam fees but many poor families can't pay, so forcing their children out of the education system. Many girls are also married off at 12 or 13 years old. "Why did you marry off your 13 year old daughter/ sister ? She was physically developed and men were starting to follow her around, so to prevent a scandal I found her a husband". A conversation I have had a number of times.
We've all seen images on different social platforms, but how much credibility do we attache such media?
Seems our lad was too distracted by images in his head, not a good thing for a batsman of his prowess where balls tossed his way at rapid pace needs attention to play the game and play it well.
Concern for humanity is fine, but self preservation at the crease is essential.
I believe test cricket equals chess ,One day international equals monopoly and that Big Bash crap all the intellect of Snakes and Ladders Stick to your cricket mate ,leave the other stuff to the grown ups
Re- Khawaja: Ah, poetic justice never tasted so sweet! It couldn’t happen to a nicer person. 😆 And blessings on you, Jason Behrendorff! 😇

Absolutely 👍
May the bat rest in peace 🕊️ 🌌
Or pieces?
Well it’s no longer functional , so -Peace !! Peace from him .., and the dove ironically symbolises that
Oops - just necked the scripture - should read like a never-failing stream 🤪
Let justice roll like a river, righteousness like a never-failing river. Amos 5:24 😇👏🇮🇱
So I guess he was dismissed battered and bemused...

Maybe he should have raised the human rights breaches in his own home country of Pakistan...
Not much of an advertisement for the bat maker either.
This bloke needs to stick to playing cricket, get away from politics and keep his mouth shut.
Once upon a time a broken lance meant war!
Does a broken bat = Peace shattered?

Gold! Solid Gold! I can't stop laughing!
Sweet justice, I love it when the balls line up!

Tooo funny. I love justice when it falls out of the sky.
Thank you for this hilarious piece. As I no longer follow any sports I would have missed it. Truly a wonderful woke.
