Pakistan's Avengers
Zimbabwe is about to cancel their tour to Pakistan, long
awaited, prematurely celebrated, a rare glimpse of sun through the very long
winters and Osman Samiuddin's An immense, nervy occasion is about to be taken
from Pakistan. All we are going to be left with is desperation and feeling of a
left alone unwanted son of a noble family. Enemies have taken a lot from us and
they still are taking, so much so that killing people of the community that
didn't give anything to Pakistan other than their devotion, love and finances.
Generation born before 2000's cricket is their first love
for the most of them. Something they can't do anything about. It is not new either;
this excoriating pain is hurting since 2009. We are constantly losing on this
front to the enemy which we seem to unable to curb. It is like something
invading your planet that you can't do much about. Taking the very thing you
love from you with no remorse.
A dialogue from 2012 Avengers keep coming in my mind “You’re missing the point! There's no
throne, there is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your army
comes and maybe it's too much for us but it's all on you. Because if we can't
protect the Earth, you can be damned well sure we'll avenge it!" then
I feel there is certain group who are fighting to give us back what we love and
they are our Avengers. They are our heroes. The group of people we look at when
we feel despair at its worst.
Misbah-ul- Haq is like Captain America, soldier from old
time, not accustomed to the newer warfare but still wins. Well because even if
he is not loved they all know who will tell them what to do when war is upon
them. He hold back, then he hits, then again he holds back and again return to
hit. His calculated hits and blocks frustrate his enemies and his calls to his
troops make him win the fight.
Bruce Banner is ordinary man with reading glasses and knowledge
and all, had he not the problem of being Hulk, he would have been teaching in a
University and eventually dies on a hospital bed with few kids and grandkids
around. Had Afridi not the problem of being Afridi, he would have ended his
career in first class circle of Pakistan with mediocre record as leg spinner.
But off course he is Afridi, when he is Bruce Banner he will get out on duck
and give 60 odd runs in his bowling spell. Being otherwise, he will smash
everything on the way. Harder they will come at him stronger he will get.
Iron Man has Jarvis, Saeed Ajmal has dosra. You will be deceived
by an ordinary man with suit of armor
and a Saeed Ajmal an off spinner. He gets around them, he encircles them, then
he puts them in their misery and then he smiles and crack a joke about it. He
gets his enemies for fun. He has so many weapons that you wonder if this is
technology or magic.
Looks and muscles, fury filled eyes, a hammer in his hands,
a man they didn't expected to be so forceful, so serious that they get the real
feel of a battle. You think he is Thor. Ask Watson, he is Wahab Riaz. He was
not hero of your first choice. He is there accidentally. For whatever reason he
is there, he is pelting his hammers at them and then he is mimicking them
because he is menacing.
Hafeez didn't have a special thing about him. He was just
your sidekick to your M16, but then he developed on skills he had. He perfected
those. Hawkeye did that with his arrow and bow. Hafeez did that with his bat
and bowl. When he does what he does best, he looks extremely charming. He
thinks sharp, so sharp that they may call him professor, he assesses his
enemies, he holds his fire and then hit where it matters.
