HYDER (BLUE STAR), DAMMAM
Tue, Oct 20 2009First of all i would like to inform that, on behalf of me i will not accept any apolize from anyone, i haven't made any murdur to apolize. In my comment i didn't blame anyone, if i don't have sportsman sprit i would have stoped the game and come out from the ground,but i never did that. on that time myself i am the bowler, so i gave my personnel opinion. I am never going to blame Amaco Specially Mr. Asif & Brothers or committee members, they give us opportunity to play in their tourney, they selected only one team from Dammam, so i will never blame them. one behalf of Blue Star i will pray with Allah for their sucess.

Sun, Oct 18 2009Dear Hyder Blue Star, i saw ur comments coasteldigest, i think instead of blaming the umpires that also you captain of a team ,,,, try to win the game by playing not by blaming others if u want to say any thing say to ur bowler ,,not the organiser,, try to win ur next game...
