So why can't you play cricket today?

Majid Haq's reasons for not playing Ireland this coming week were hilarious. I guess this is how it has to be when teams don't play professional and international cricket. Cricketers need to rely on other sources of income. The quote is from Cricinfo.

"My dad runs a takeaway in Paisley and I have to help out this weekend because my mum and brother are both away in Pakistan, one of our chefs is unavailable and our delivery driver has gone to jail for three weeks."
Well, that's one reason (or two) to make yourself unavailable for Scotland. With a few players withdrawing from the Ireland match, Majid Haq's excuse was the most bizarre

Good you're back Omar - thought you'd left the scene - I even removed your link. Should have kept the faith!

Some of us, Tim, never lost faith.

I've been to Paisley. I've eaten their "food". There isn't a chef for a hundred mile radius.

It's an obvious excuse, to meet some dodgy bird, or something.

Thanks fellas! Glad to be back! I missed writing stuff.

Hey, If I played for Scotland, I'd probably do the same, right?


Hmm..No. Probably not. I would give up my own mother to be in Cricinfo's player database!
