Posted September 19, 200618 yr By Michael Holding When England used reverse swing to beat the Australians in the 2005 Ashes, everyone said it was great skill. When Pakistan does it, the opposite happens. No one thinks it is great skill. Everyone associates it with skulduggery. When bombs go off in Karachi and Colombo everyone wants to go home. When bombs go of in London, no one says anything. That is first-world hypocrisy and we have to live with it.

That is first-world hypocrisy and we have to live with it. When bombs go off in London, it's not an immediate rush to leave because after an inital attack you know the government and police are tracking down the cause, and secondary attacks are less likely. When it happens in Pakistan everyone leaves because there's no definite government ability to protect against further such events. Civilized first-world countries are referred to as such for a reason. And that's how the world works, you paint your enemies as the bad guy in any situation possible, be it cricket or politics. Go watch a news report on the Isreal/Palestine war, you'll hear them phrase it as if Palestine is the aggressor and Isreal is the victim and only doing what it's doing out of retaliation, when it's in fact the opposite. All in all, STFU. Hypocrisy or common sense and logic?
September 19, 200618 yr Pakis can't play Cricket, we all know this, hence why it's luck and not skill.

September 19, 200618 yr I think your confusing hypocrisy with propaganda. Each side will endeavour to gain public suport by telling there own story.
