Bromances and brokeback !

So Cricinfo tweeted this photo with a “So much love in the Pakistan team” caption earlier today.

and the Pakistani twitteratti responded with this photo saying what about this one?

Pakistani tweeples thought that the picture with Ajmal and Akhtar was more bromance whereas the one with Sachin and Sehwag was more ... errr. Brokeback. 

I asked people to come up with captions and here are some of the more interesting ones.

@shiringul “if I lose my head, it's your ass on the line!”

@a_bong "I got your back ..."

@ammaryasir   Sehwag: "Pedicure?" Tendulkar: "Ahaa, usual preparation for the big match against Pak"

@absarshah   'Sucking the marrow out of life"

@kamranbukhari   “Ass, gas or grass, nobody rides for free”

@alexpressed “baout yaraana lagta ay!”

@fayyazahmed  Tendulkar: "Cover my behind, will ya?"

@Ahmad_Malik  “After an intense batting session, Sehwag helped Sachin take care of his guard problems.”

@Zonk_D  Sehwag "I got your back ! " Sachin - "only if you keep your head in right place " ; )

Haya Fatima came up with “Bum chick chick bum, bum, bum chick chick bum!!”

Nabeel Zuberi came up with "Turn over and do it the Afridi way, Viru."

Ibrahim Muhammed Khalil gets a special mention for double submissions along with Aneela Z Babar.

Ibrahim came up with “jin pe takya hay, wohi hawa daynay lagay” and “CYA - Cover your Ass”

And @AneelaBabar  came up with gems like “The Butt stops here” and “Haseena Atom Bum Part 2”

And winner is @amna_kaleem  who came up with this sterling line “Who needs a shoulder when you have Sachin's bum to lean on.”

Here are some other caption worthy pictures. 

Defying gravity?

An India Pakistan game can make Service Cheetah go all witty

Arrrggghhh! enough with the lecture already...

Somebody get me out of here

Orange is the new black

bach ke jayega tu kahan

To borrow a line from Ali Azmat, bum bum phatta 

Audition for High School Musical 4?

Byoz offering prayers, the only one missing is good ol' Shoiab Akhtar :)

Electrified!

Poster boy for liposuction!

Two is company ...

For the first time in a very long time, our cricket team looks united and act like a team – considering the fact that we still have elements like Kakmal, it’s a feat. There is no news of factions or back biting and as rumor has it, all is well in the dressing room. Even the captaincy debate did not turn acrimonious and both Misbah and Afridi praised each other and were willing to play under the other. However, just like the animal kingdom where some animals are more equal than the others, there are some relationships which are stronger than the others.

Of late, Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi seem inseparable. Had they been teenage girls, they would have been certified BFFs. But the very obvious regard they have for each other is very endearing – at least to their fans.


Shoaib Akhtar cannot refuse when Lala calls for him




Akhtar thinks that he and Afridi are the two sartorial wonders in the team

and here is some pictorial evidence

If we were not totally smitten by these two, this one would come across as an odd one.

Back in the day when both Lala and Akhtar were part of the test squads

Akhtar: Not now Fawad, this is between me and Lala

Let's see who roars more ferociously

Is Lala checking out Akhtar's ass?

Two is company, three is crowd.

Yeh Dosti, hum naheen chorain gay

Persecution of another kind !

Pakistan’s cricket board has got to be the most indiscreet sport regulating body in the globe. First they leaked the reports about Shoaib Akhtar’s genital warts to the world and now they are showing displeasure at his attempts to gain fitness after undergoing liposuction. While it may not have been the smartest move on Akhtar's part – his whole life is a series of one bad decision after another – the board in general, and its deputy director general Dr Waqar Ahmed in particular, have been quite vindictive in repeatedly over sharing his medical condition with media down to the details of exact numbers of kilograms of fat lost during the aforementioned liposuction session.

Pakistan Cricket Board is not the most efficient sporting board in the world and is using one Shoaib Akhtar incident after another to deflect the spotlight from its own incompetence and mismanagement.

It’s not just the cricket board or the media that laps up every little morsel of salacious news about the likes of Meera & Shoaib Akhtar, everyone of us who consumes such news, laughs at it and shares it at various social networking sites are just as guilty. It’s about time we give them a break.
