We want to win every game, that's what we're here for," said Tahir at the toss of their Global Super League match in Providence, Guyana, before going to say what he really wanted. "Today's game especially, obviously want to win it for Guyana, but for personal reasons as well. I played for Rangpur Riders last year in BPL and haven't got all my contract money. So that's motivating me in today's game. I want to do really well against them."

and this will motivate them to pay you how?
tahir does encapsulate outtatimeness yess

A sad statement, but then English is not his first language.

A few franchises in the US also have money problems, some have gone under I heard. Seems like having a T20 franchise is a status thing

IPL owners have to be paying on time - how else do you explain Hetty eating so good?

The man was like Chanderpaul and then turn into Ryan Hinds + Dwayne Smith put together

Looks like Tahir wants a resumption of the war between East and West Pakistan (headed by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, respectively).

nah i don't feel so. even the dudes who played one season like tymall mills don't complain. i feel the ipl is amatch fixing enterprise, but i don't think they have issues paying people

Zulfikar's daughter, Benazir, was a stunningly beautiful woman.....a gorgeous crook but gorgeous none the less.

Yes, Benazir, whatever her flaws, was a beautiful woman as is standard for that part of the world.
