Twenty20 is more for entertainment, even if it is international cricket – Younis khan
Mr. Younis Khan! you missed the point totally, it’s only entertainment if you are putting up a serious fight. There are millions of people all around the globe taking it seriously. But no-one is forcing, you don’t like, step down and give someone a chance who takes it seriously.
I would further add, A captain as non serious and un-inspirational as him is a disgrace to Pakistan cricket. Shameful how he can be smiling the way he does after losing matches. Usually the khans are courageous fighters, but this man has no pride at all, he is more of a joker than a cricketer. And he has no brains at all, Umar Gul took a wicket first over and Younis replaced him. Had he taken another one or 2 in the next overs the match would have been over for England. Amir could be good but how on earth would you put Amir or Yasir Arafat (another pathetic bowler) in place of Tanvir, beyond my comprehension.
Than this Butt thing, he could be a test player (which I doubt), stupid batsman and pathetic fielder for T20 and even for the ODIs.
In fact the truth is, it’s all messed up, the PCB today is the worst of all. Mr. Chairman has nothing but to build up fights. I know nothing about the cricket. Abdul Qadir resigned today, showing clearly the state of affairs within PCB and ultimately Pakistan Cricket.
But as Pakistan, we still pray for Pakistani Team, come on guys, we do need a win badly but fighting spirit is much more important.

DMOZ-The open directory project. Most people related to internet (not just the SEO gurus) have at least heard of DMOZ. It actually stands for Directory Mozilla, but has been officially renamed to the Open Directory Project. One can define DMOZ as a listing of all of the websites on the internet that have been submitted. They have been meticulously categorized and checked for authenticity before being placed in the directory.
Anyone can become an editor to help build the largest human edited directory on the web. At the same time anyone can add his/her own listings to this directory. I know almost every internet savvy knows this but this is also a fact that a lot of us still trying to get listed. Some are waiting for months after submitting their site.
The beauty of dmoz is that it’s edited by volunteers, and they are not forced in any way to carry out the job. So in most cases, after few intial active months people get occupied with other stuff and this leaves hundreds of thousands of sites on hold (begging for a review).
No doubt that DMOZ is important. If you want success and backlinks for your site, listing it with DMOZ is a great place to start. But that’s not the end, just submit your site properly, and get on with other link building techniques.
