#1 Funny how the word for "ditch" is so similar to the word for "holy man." Granted, I don't know thing one about middle eastern languages, so maybe it's only amusing to my ignorant eye.

#3 In Islamabad, it just isn't cricket
To sneak into the grounds with no ticket.
Infiltrating the pitch
Through an illicit ditch
Might force umpires to picket the wickets.

#4 The West's legal minds think it best
To wait until both parties rest;
In Pakistan's courts,
If we credit reports,
Nullification can precede arrest.
