How good?

Would this Pakistan World Cup cricket squad would've been if they had Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamir? Hafeez, Butt, Younus, Misbah, Akmal No. 1, Akmal No. 2, Afridi, Razzaq, Asif, Aamir, Gul/Akhtar against a genuine contender would've been fun to watch.


Speaking of genuine contenders, how about Afridi for highest wicket-taker at this World Cup? He's got nine in two matches, Canada, Zimbabwe, New Zealand and Australia to come in the group phases, none of those lineups will be terribly confident against him, he's going to play every game because he's captain, he's going to bowl ten overs every game, I have a suspicion he isn't yet bowling his best and surely, after today's result, a quarter final game at the very least beckons.

I'm not sure if there's a point to this story but I'm going to tell it again.

I've been wilfully caught up in the self-defeating quest to get to know myself for years. I've never expected anything beneficial to result from such a quest. I tend to evoke extremely polarised reactions from people I get to know in passing. Consequently, only those people who know me inside-out would honestly claim that I'm a person who's just "alright." It's not a coincidence that the description I've laid out above has no fewer than, title included, eleven references to me (make that twelve). I'm affectionately referred to as "Ego." I think that last statement might have given away a tad too much. Welcome Aboard.
