Karachi: According to a report released Monday by Karachi University's School of Lifestyle Management, more than 180 trillion potentital cricket watching hours were lost to work in 2004.

"The majority of Pakistani adults find work cutting into the middle of their days—exactly when they could be watching cricket ," said Dr. Umar Shahid Khan, the Karachi University sociology professor who headed the study.

"You see in the words of Keats[ seems to forget what he was about to say, then continues], the hours between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. are ideally suited to browsing the web, watching cricket in the stadium , and finishing off any cricket related emails or visiting your favourite cricket forum.

Daytime hours are also the warmest and sunniest of the day, making them perfect for outdoor activities. Unfortunately, most Pakistanis can't enjoy cricket during this time, for the simple and most boring reason that they're 'at work.'"

In addition to surveying 12,000,000 citizens nationwide, researchers studied data from seven different government departments. In PIA, the semi national airline, for example, it was noted that employees spent more time trying to figure out how to fool their boss into thinking that they were not listening to Cricket commentary on Radio, often pretending to listen to old Noor Jehan songs, than serving another of those ungrateful and pesky customers.

Prof. Schiller of the International Schiller Haupmann Institute of Technology ( S.*.I.T ) , an expert in the field of nothingness ( scientific term for rest and relaxation ), emphasized the harmful nature of the problem, which he said affects 96 percent of employable Pakistanis year-round.

"Week after week of potential cricketting time is squandered to jobs, with millions of would-be cricketers prohibited from sleeping in after watching an all night game in Australia, working or taking trips to see local domestic matches" said Prof. Schiller smoking something which has a pungent smell and blue smoke , yet kinda makes you feel good.....

"An average employed person's ability to stroll aimlessly around his home and 'do whatever' to enjoy cricket to its fullest is basically nonexistent 49 weeks out of the year."

Schiller added that if this trend is not stopped, Pakistan will become one of those "boring, working" type societies which no one will like to live in.

"We simply must reform ourselves if we want to keep up with the people of today, otherwise we are doomed and our future generations will never forgive us", he adds, sipping on rather strong bottle of 7 up and watching the 40th replay of game 6 of VB series from 1982 between 2 unknown teams.
