“We’re the batsmen as they keep bowling. Sometimes we score a six, other times we lose a wicket. This is a test match, not a T-20 so this is on-going with them,” he said.
According to the IG, work is underway to combat the threats the Police is receiving and a similar incident like the DI Khan jail break would not happen in the future.
Inspector General Police (IGP) Ihsan Ghani had already suspended SP Elite Force Tauheed and DSP Elite Force Behram Khan and 25 other members of the force for their incompetence during the militants attack at the DI Khan jail.
More suspensions and transfers of officials are expected in the provincial prisons department.

@Noman Ansari: "Except, they are playing with grenades and not cricket balls." . These grenades are not tampered cricket balls. They kill people, even the Warrior Pakhtuns.
This is sooooo funny:-) :-) :-)
the Question arise that when Taliban attacks on D.I.K central jail and escape 250 prisoner safely. According to suspended jail superintendent ghulam rabani their was 11 police man fight against the Taliban and no anyone force comes for help.beside that 2000 police force were present in the city along with other forces.so the statement of Inspector General Police (IGP) Ihsan Ghani is correct?
the question arise here at that time when attack on dera ismail khan central 2000 police present in the city why they do,t open the fire only 11 police man fight against the terrorist(jail breakers )
State should lay down arms before Taliban agrees for talks
In the gory game of death & violence such comic statements look bizarre. At such responsible post few more irresponsible statements will show IGP's transfer is on cards.
Given the junoon people have with cricket, IG tried to put the issue into perspective using this analogy. Personally, whatever the sport, I want to see results not a non committal approach.
What an immature statement! The beauraucrats of KPK are giving such immature statements just to please their Chairman and follow his footsteps to stay in the news headlines.
DI Khan match was fixed
IK in his pre-elections speeches has promised to solve all problems including militancy in three months time. One shouldn't be surprised if Taliban eleven plays a friendly cricket match against State eleven soon.
Just as Pakistani team, here also the bowlers are better than batsman..
We have one of the world best Bowler as the Couch sitting at Khaber P. Khan . Ask MR BUTT to fix the match he will be more helpful to the Couch. . In this way we can solve the problem .If this is not possible than change the selection committee..
Mr Ishan no match fixing
what rubbish
IK is at his best while serving Taliban as their bowling coach ......
Let the best team win.
To all the negative critiques: The province and the country is deling with gorilla warfare which is universally known as the most difficut kind of warfare. Secondly the IG is at least trying to put the war in some context and is using the cricket as an anlogy. He could use any other metaphor for the "process" and it will still mean the same. So the bottom line is taht we are all in the thick of it and need a co-herent and effective startegy
PESHAWAR: Inspector General Police (IGP) Ihsan Ghani of Khyber-Paktunkhwa (K-P) in a bizarre statement compared the relationship between the Taliban and police as one between a batsman and a bowler, while speaking to the media on Monday. . As such the Taliban has a bevy of ~Super Pace Bowlers and the Police has a full team of "Gentle Hearted" Batsmen. . It is time that the Inspector General Police (IGP) Ihsan Ghani of Khyber-Paktunkhwa (K-P) instilled "Confidence to Bat against Super Pace Bowlers" so that Law and Order can be Restored! . Cheers
what a PTI-type of silly statement
the relationship between the Taliban and police as one between a batsman and a bowler,"" ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ And the Pakistani public the cricket ball coming off at the seams.
so pakistanis are playing new cricket batsman as well boller both throwing ball and kicking ball at the same time they can get wicket and run........... this is tough game.
And just as in cricket , the police force is full of fixers like Butt,
What is causing in this Naya Pakistan to not release Banu's Judicial inquiry report? In past, we blamed ANP for doing so but who is hiding it now?
Batsman and bowler playing on the same team, it seems. With the millions of dollars we have invested in the army and intelligence agencies, it is sad to see that we have been unable to put an end to Taliban sourced terrorism.
After cricket diplomacy, we have cricket terrorism
Loss of life is like wickets to this IG From the party leader, the party provincial government to the IG, all of them have lost it
I am getting sick of these cricket analogies. We need results.
I am really to read this bit of news and kind of attitude our IG has. I will be remain ever sorry Though the confusion cleared that neither it was Jihad nor terrorism it was a friendly test match, claimed 50,000 of spectators lives
Except, they are playing with grenades and not cricket balls.
what a joke!!! go home then.. lock your office Mr. IG... we can take these chances ourselves of either hitting six and getting bowled out... please spare the taxes from my salary!!
Look at the spirit and understanding level of IGP providing stupid justifications in a childish way putting aside gravity of the issue and humiliation we have received at global level!! Does this man deserve this slot??
Mr Khan, thanks for letting us know that it's a friendly match between the Talibs and PTI.
Look at the spirit and understanding level of IGP providing stupid justifications in a childish way putting aside gravity of the issue and humiliation we have received at global level!! Does this man deserve this slot??
If i remember correctly, musharraf once said that these elite force commandos should be able to retaliate fire from rest position within 3 seconds. Have all those elite commandos being bowled out by Taliban. The remaining elite forces have been forced on bench by the new order of suspension. Pakistan, a joke :>)))).
Looks like the IG is about to get a suspension/ transfer notice for himself soon if he continues giving statements like that.
And US is the biased umpire.
