cuz he knew his father was at the edge of death...

THAT'S Y I ALWAYS REFRAIN FROM INSULTING AND DEGRADING PLAYERS!!!!!

[Mercenary]

poor Younis.

inna lillahi wa inna alayhi rajioun

[tahaqureshi]

[Amjid Javed]

may Allah give younis and his family strength @ this time of need.

My heart goes out to him.

[MIG]

Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Alehi Rajiyoon - May Allah grant his father a place in Jannah and courage to him and his family to bear this loss , Ameen !

Regards

[tahaqureshi]

u know this really puts things into perspective..

i bet he just got the news...i mean it hasn't been long since the match finished..

he left pakistan in nov not imagining that it would be the last time he would see him...

and now he got the sad news at such an untimely occasion...

i think the whole party mood of the entire team must've been spoilt if they have any feelings towards younis..

[<< Rashid >>]

May Allah (swt) grant
him a place in the highest ranks of Jannah

[Noman]

sad news, the worst timing...

[ImranR]

Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Alehi Rajiyoon

May Allah (swt) grant him a place in Jannah

[tahaqureshi]

my duas out to his father, himself and his family...

i hope he comes back into the india series normal, i mean not with so much grief..i know its very difficult to get over it...

but it would be a huge loss if he couldn't make it

I dont think any timing is better or worse when something like this happens. Maybe we can send a message thru Bob to YK on behalf of PP?

[ZM]

we shudn't care abt cricket at this time
Very sad news

[<< Rashid >>]

I hope this will encourage Pakistan to play with more spirit than they have done, as a sort of tribute to the poor guy.

[tahaqureshi]

good idea amit - IS UR NAME GARY?? - we could do it through the site but i doubt the message will get to younis..

cuz by the time BW reads it, YK wil have probably left

[tahaqureshi]

thats also a very good idea pakvideos

[tahaqureshi]

anyone know HOW his father passed away?

was it an accident or natural cause?

[Adeel786]

Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Alehi Rajiyoon

I am Gary.
Ich heiBe Gary.
Je m'appelle Gary.
me llamo Gary.

[TaZ]

Very very sad....

[KB]

Very sad to hear.

One moment your playing a cricket match with full heart and energy, feeling the pressure, the joy, the heartache, striving perhaps at times struggling, yet it takes only a death of a close one to reveal the irrelevance, insignificance and unimportance of it all.

Death forces distance from cricket and it is distance that provides perspective.

well said ggm
