About Me

My name is Muhammad  Basharat.

I am a Student of MBA In Finance from BAHRAIN UNIVERSITY.

 I love Pakistan because it is the land of our national heroes. My country is the result of their long period of strife and struggle. Among them Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Iqbal are worth mentioning.

love Pakistan, have done so throughout my life, and will love it forever.

Pakistan belongs to its people and not to the bunch of rotten corrupt politicians that have come and gone. Pakistan has been resilient enough to withstand the onslaught of corruption year after year for 60 years running, watching one tyrant after another make his own heaven on earth, even then my country withstood the onslaught and continued to serve its people.

Believe in Pakistan like never before and boldly say ""Pakistan Zindabad""

Best OF LUCK

Hundreds of Cape Flats children took to the streets of Langa - to show off their cricket skills at the finals of the annual street cricket tournament.

The aim of the tournament was to develop cricket in the communities and unearth talented youngsters.

Brad Bing, the managing director of organisers Sporting Chance, believes the participants will also learn skills they can use off the cricket pitch.

The final yesterday was the culmination of six weeks of matches involving 3 000 children from areas such as Gugulethu, Khayelitsha, Nyanga, Elsies River, Mitchells Plain and Ocean View.

Provincial MEC for Education Donald Grant believes that involvement in sport is the key to the development of these children.

Streets Crickets

Posted By MUhammad Basharat




The game requires a very small monetary investment with the mandatory entities being a ball and shoveled quality Indian piece of wood called the bat / stumps. Tennis balls usually taped up with some insulation tape, specially made for cricket and slightly heavier than usual tennis balls are normally used. (Rubber balls are sometimes preferred because they are cheaper.) 

A dustbin, broom sticks or canes serve as stumps at the batsman's end while a piece of brick or a pipe serves as the stumps at the bowler's end. When sticks and canes are not readily available, two stones with a gap of around 10 inches are kept on the ground. The players then assume the stumps to be at an imaginary height (usually above the waist level of the batsman). 

This leads to many interesting events as to whether the ball would have hit the stumps or not had the stumps been there for real. Sometimes the stumps are drawn on the walls: the advantages being, there isn't a need for a wicket keeper and the ball doesn't run away even when the batsman misses.

A very important rule that is almost always used in Street Cricket is "one pitch catch" or "pitch catch". This rule declares the batsman as out if a fielder catches the ball after it has pitched once after the batsman hits it. One pitch could mean bouncing off the ground/wall/tree etc. This rule typically puts the batsman at tremendous disadvantage/pressure. So, many times this rule is tweaked to "one pitch one hand". 

As can be guessed, this means that the fielder has to use only one hand in catching a ball after it has bounced once; if the fielder uses both hands to catch a ball after it has pitched once, then the batsman is declared not out. In Australian and English informal cricket, this rule is often known as "one hand, one bounce"
