Mukul Kesavan's Cricinfo blog was a demonstration in how to conduct a lynching. He nudges us into believing that Shoaib Malik's comments after the final were some how sinister. He mentions what Kaneria might think without actually consulting Kaneria. We are led to believe there is a WMD of insult somewhere in his comments which on actual inspection is as hard to find as those actual WMDs that people have been looking for years. If one is to take his very path should he not be accused of doing the same thing by bringing up Kaneria as he accuses Malik of?
To quote my own reply to him, "Never has so much fiction been created out of an inocuous little phrase. Considering how cricket riles up the emotions in the subcontinent and topping that with the fact that his in-laws are there it is highly unlikely that Shoaib would maliciously make such a comment - unless he holds his mother-in-law in the same regard as Botham did his."
I have still to hear what is this ulterior motive that Shoaib is building up to. This is playing politics under the guise of rebuking religiosity.
