M.S. Dhoni’s words must have been ringing in the years of Younus Khan’s ears after the semis of the Champions trophy. Yet another, finger controversy engulfs cricket and this time it’s a broken one!
A broken finger not only ousted Pakistan from the tournament, it has already started pointing in the wrong direction as well.
“When I ran Gambhir out, people said what a patriot, now the same people will say I was up to something” …..Being as smart as usual, Younus Khan called it before hand. And as one has it now, the Chairman of the National Assembly standing committee on sports MNA Jamshed Dasti has been quoted that Pakistan tanked matches against Australia and New Zealand. Typical of Pakistan cricket…..
It definitely hurts and Younus Khan must have been more pained with the match fixing allegations rather than his broken finger. The pain was visible when he said he would not tolerate the slur of match-fixing and would resign from the captain's job if he felt so.
But a few questions will always tickle him;
Should he have been playing? Well….it was a brave call, but at times bravery could lead to misery.
And why did he try to catch the ball the Aussie way?
He should have remembered, Aussies and fingers always point to some new controversies!
