“This month's Asian Cricket Council Trophy is not one of the sport's most glittering competitions. It is contested by Oman, Bhutan, Brunei, Myanmar, Thailand, Iran, the Maldives and China. But it is still well worth following. After all, that China (population somewhere around the 1,330,044,605 mark) can compete in any arena against the Maldives (population closer to 385,925) is in itself rather marvellous.
That China should also get thoroughly hammered is cause for downright jubilation. In their group match nine days ago, the Maldive islanders finished their 50 overs on 376 for 7.
In reply, the Chinese took 32.2 overs to reach 61 all out, a 315-run defeat. I'll refrain from wondering whether they had an unorthodox left-arm spinner in their team, delivering what in a less politically correct era was dubbed the Chinaman. The people running Chinese cricket don't need to contend with cheap gags like that in this time of crisis.”
Bushry, No one (in the government ) , Honored when ali ashfag acquired the 10th place in asia’s top soccer players list in goal.com, which not simply included china, Japan, besides Iran and other countries as well , no south Asian player was on that list, however, if we obtain a resort in a tour operator list then (in a MAGAZINE etc .. ) These bamboozles in so called (government) tourism ministry plus the media will pull the hearsay all over the Maldives ( we all know football is our number one game we saw in saff championship)
ReplyDeleteSome one conveniently overlooked the fact that despite it's population China is a total novice in this field.
