Its Chess time: Target Mid term elections

Sheikh Rasheed turn once again he is active to build same type of govt before we saw in Musharaf's time but this time on the shoulders of PTI. In my analysis he throw his cards on table and start gathering opposition parties for mid-term elections. He get major benefit when he holds already charged crowd from Imran Khan on 11 May 2014.

Before this speech IK says he is not against govt and not thinking of derailing govt but in that protest Sheikh rasheed says "IK if you said we will derail govt in 20 minutes". If even one seat will be proven guilty there is no moral ground for govt to stay stand and same statement comes on media from Shah mahmood quashi.

Now it is clear that IK starts listing to Sheikh sb. and looking for Midterm elections because he knows if he pass 5 years tenure then it is very difficult for him to get same popularity again. IK trying to make "Tabdili" change but again choosing wrong path to make partnership with PML-Q and PAL (Pakistan Awami League) and in near future MQM.

Note: These are all those parties who join Musharraf in 2000.

We can say Chess game starts now in politics where first group is
1- PTI
2- PML-Q
3- PAL
4-MQM
5-JUI-F

and on other hand from govt side
1- PML-N
2- PML-F
3- PPPP
4- PPP
5- Maulana Fazal ur rehman

There are some important issues in opposition hands to play this game.
1- PML-N to Army tension
2- Terrorist talk looks to fail
3- Election rigging
4- GEO tension with ISI

and govt can avoid from this situation using following options
1- Prolong talks with Talban
2- GEO case results in favor of ISI
3- Electricity shortage that can reduce at any required time
4- Perviz musharaf Case *Most important turn can be happen on this
5- Pindi Islamabad Metro Bus service

After some months it will be clear kay "Oonth kis karwat baithta hay"

Mushtaq Ahmed appointed as Bowling coach in PCB

After finishing contract with England cricket board Mushtaq Ahmed appointed as Bowling coach in Pakistan cricket board (PCB).

According to cricinfo...
Mushtaq had applied for the Pakistan job after it became clear that under new head coach, Peter Moores, England were looking to streamline their support staff. He was first appointed England bowling coach in 2008 and was involved in an era when Graeme Swann rose to prominence, but leaves with England cricket going through one of its leanest patches in years in terms of spin bowling.

PCB official website confirms this appointment.
Mushtaq signed the contract with PCB Monday morning and has taken charge of his position.

The coach selection committee, comprising Moin Khan, Intikhab Alam and Haroon Rashid, had also shortlisted former off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq and was in communication with him prior to finalizing its recommendation in favour of Mushtaq.
Zaheer Abbas, Special Adviser to Chairman PCB, and chief coach Waqar Younis too concurred with the committee’s recommendation.
At his prime, Mushtaq was considered one of the top three leg-break googly bowlers, claiming 185 Test wickets along with 161 ODI scalps. His greatest achievement in first class cricket, where he took 100-plus wickets for five successive seasons for Sussex in the early 2000s, was winning the county its first Championship ever in 2003, also spearheading the feat in 2006 and 2007.
In an interview with local channel Mushtaq's says if he get chance he wants to work with U-19 and Local players.
