To hit a six in cricket is to hit the ball out of the boundary of the field, scoring the maximum number of runs, which is six.
This is like saying, “If I can withdraw my money from the bank, can’t I take a pistol in there and rob it?”

“‘If I can hit a six with a bat, can’t I kill a man with a sword?’ Javed Miandad threatens India over J&K,” First Post, September 3, 2019:
In a video which has gone viral on social media, former Pakistani cricketer Javed Miandad can be heard expressing solidarity with Kashmir and threatening India while brandishing a sword.
“Kashmiri brothers don’t worry. We are with you. Earlier I used a bat to hit a six, now I can use this sword…If I can hit a six with a bat, can’t I kill a man with a sword?” Miandad can be heard saying in the video, at a rally in Karachi.
The protest was apparently held to condemn India’s decision to abrogate Article 370 and bifurcate Jammu and Kashmir into two Union territories, reported the Times of India….

Speaking of a SIX,do you think devoutly pious muslims can understand the concept behind the SIXTH commandment of God?
“I am the Lord thy God.Thou shalt NOT COMMIT MURDER”
EXODUS 20:13
Nope.
HOWZAT!
Can the muslim master the SIXth?
1,400 years too late….
If Javed is so interested in SIX perhaps he should check out the SIXTH COMMANDMENT.
FYI says
“If I can hit SIX with a bat…I used to hit SIXES with a bat,now i’ll kill humans with a sword..”
And how do you “kill humans with a sword”?
By breaking the SIXTH commandment……
Irony and logic:missing in islam
jayell says
Not exactly the spirit of fair play, is it? But what should one expect when the legacy of the old Empire falls into the wrong hands. Total corruption, It seems like everything we stood for, including the UK itself, has gone down the plughole.
FYI says
The expression “It’s not cricket” ,interestingly enough,means unfair,unsportsmanlike.
So it seems that in an idiomatic sense,this cricketer is just not playing cricket.
gravenimage says
True, FYI. This term dates to before widespread Muslim involvement in the game.
jayell says
“This term dates to before widespread Muslim involvement in the game”……Ah, the good old days when the local lads would play on the village green with the medieval church in the background! Now it’s the local thugs with the medieval brains playing with offensive weapons wherever they want.

Grimly true, Jayell.
Aussie Infidel says
And let’s not forget that THE SIXTH PILLAR OF ISLAM IS JIHAD. And I don’t mean when Muslims navel gaze about their piety.

……………….
Who thinks like this? Are Mark McGwire and Ken Griffey, Jr.–great baseball sluggers–talking about murdering people with swords? Of course not.
It is different with pious Muslims, though…
Fred Dawes says
All Muslims want to kill its not reason that Muslims want its evil ideals of Satan will that is what a Muslims is the will of Satan hate for Gods love, All Muslims murder children and old in the name of hell AND Satan butt.

Never mind Mexico. Can we build a really high wall around Pakistan?

That should finish off the Taliban pretty quickly.

It is an interesting insight that Javed Miandad gives into the sort of repulsive attitudes that, I am sure, most of the members of Pakistani cricket teams probably have. Because I consider Pakistan to be a loathsome Muslim nation, which is barbaric and which stomps all over the rights of non-Muslims in that country,(the Asia Bibi case being one recent example), I have believed for many years that Pakistan should be banned from taking part in any international cricket. If Pakistan improves human rights there, then maybe international cricket could let them back in. None of cricket’s authorities seem to see things that way. I am sickened that teams which represent such a repressive, barbaric Muslim country as Pakistan are treated as perfectly acceptable members of the international cricket scene. I suppose they make money out of letting Pakistan participate. Bangladesh should also be banned. I don’t know as much about that Muslim country, but I’m sure it is barbaric as well. As for this maggot Miandad, who I remember was a very significant cricketer many years ago, I presume that maybe he wants to get into politics like the now President Imran Khan, also once a big time cricketer. Although I like sport, I’m sure that it is usually a stupid move to put dopey sportsmen into important political positions and think they’ll be any good at that job. Pakistan is such a repulsive country which should not be allowed to participate in international cricket. I’m certain many members of Pakistani cricket teams would have exactly the same mentality as Miandad has.
gravenimage says
A lot of silly people thought that Imran Khan would be a moderate because he played Cricket.
I agree with you that some sort of baseline human rights should be a requirement for playing internationally.
One of the most insane things in the world of sport is holding the World Cup in Qatar in 2022–in a stadium that will have been built with near slave labor:

tim gallagher says
My position is exactly what you have said there, gravenimage. Unless a country has a reasonable level of human rights they should not be allowed to participate. To my mind, that would be a way to make some countries improve the level of human rights they currently have. I have thought for many years that a revolting Muslim nation like Pakistan should be out. Then again, I guess, say, the Olympic Games have many revolting countries in them. I remember saying this before on Jihad Watch because I recall dumbledoresarmy, a commenter from Australia who I always thought made excellent comments, agreed with me. You are right about the soccer World Cup, but that just seems to be a completely corrupt process. I think Qatar paid soccer officials a lot of money to get the World Cup. I think Pakistanis are almost as fanatical about cricket as the Indians are, so I think they are likely to elect cricketers, because they almost worship them. But also, I suspect most Pakistanis would have pretty hardline Muslim attitudes, so Imran Khan is no surprise to me. I wonder if a politician with reasonable views would have any chance of getting elected in that horrible country which seems to be full of fanatical people.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Tim.
Aussie Infidel says
Tim G, Those have been my thoughts exactly for many years. I often wondered about Imran Khan, but was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. I thought that he might be a civilized man, and someone who could possibly lead his country out of the Islamic bog. But it would seem as if he is just another deeply indoctrinated, militant follower of Mad Moh. And now it seems that Javid Miandad is following in Khan’s footsteps. I admired both of them as cricketers, but I detest their militant politics toward India. These pious Muslims should remember the old dictum, “He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword”. But of course, that wouldn’t worry true jihadis, because they would then have a free pass to Paradise.
“So let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. And he who fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or achieves victory – We will bestow upon him a great reward (Paradise and all those virgins).” (Quran 4:74).
“Anyone who kills an infidel is guaranteed Paradise.” Sahih Abu Dawud vol. 2 no.2489.
It’s a wonder that a virulent Islamic country like Pakistan is allowed to remain within the British Commonwealth. Also, why should Australia and other Commonwealth countries continue to play cricket against them – and ignore their deep seated hatred of all non-Muslims? We should never tolerate the intolerent!
On a lighter note, Miandad was the subject of a subtle joke when Pakistan played against Australia. An iconic Australian radio serial from yesteryear was entitled ‘Dad and Dave’, and portrayed life in early rural Australia – a bit like the Beverley Hillbillies in the US. The Aussies, with their larrikin sense of humor, refered to Miandad as “Dave”. The reason was obvious! With a name like that (‘Me-and-dad’), he couldn’t possibly be Dad, so he must be “Dave”!
I wonder how many Pakistanis know that most of them are the descendants of Hindus who converted to Islam centuries ago to avoid execution by their Moghul conquerors, or to escape the Hindu caste system?
But as we are constantly told, Islam is “a religion of peace”, and the idea that it was spread by the sword is just another example of Islamophobia.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for your comments, Aussie Infidel. I agree with your comments. There just seems to be a slackness in the way that a vile country like Pakistan is accepted as worthy of being a member of the international cricket community. Maybe the authorities think that if they let Pakistan remain as a member of the cricket community, rather than throwing them out into the darkness (so to speak) then Pakistan might gradually be influenced to become more civilised. I don’t think that is it though. I just think they’ll let any country, no matter how bad its human rights record is, remain in the cricket community. I must say that I look at the Pakistani cricketers and think that probably most of them have revolting attitudes, which I believe most Muslims do have. That’s a witty joke about Miandad (“Me and dad”). Miandad was the guy that Dennis Lillee got involved in the blue with all those years ago, wasn’t he? I think Miandad swung his bat at Lillee or something like that. I agree with you about not being tolerant towards the revoltingly intolerant country, Pakistan.
Aussie Infidel says
TG, I think it’s simply a matter of ignorance of Islam on the part of our politicians and sporting officials, or political correctness, or cowardice – or all three.
I remember Dennis Lillee as one of our famous ‘quicks’ (fast bowlers for non-cricketers). I think he also had a bit of a quick temper. And yes, he did have an altercation with Miandad:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8edVt6trTg
Lillee was also involved in the aluminium bat controversy.
tim gallagher says
I agree with what you say, Aussie Infidel. I’m pretty sure it is just the all too familiar ignorance of Islam and accepting the usual politically correct garbage that makes the cricket authorities be so accepting of the Pakistani cricket team. I was just thinking about the incident all those years ago where I think Lillee might have tried to kick Miandad and Miandad swung his bat at Lillee that, with this statement by Miandad about how, if he can hit a six with a cricket bat, then he can kill people with a sword, maybe, even way back then, he was thinking of killing Lillee with a sword when he swung his bat at him. Anyway, Miandad sounds like an obnoxious piece of garbage

@Aussie There was no fixed caste system during arrival of Muzzies. Most of Indian kings were descendents of peasents and hurders even upto 18th century. Muslim had their own version of caste system with added violence.

My answer would be “Not if the other man also has a sword.”

A sword–or better. Here’s the iconic scene from Indiana Jones:

Let us not forget that the Pakistani PM is a former star cricketer and probably thinks the same thing.

True.

For those who don’t know, Miandad was Imran Khan’s vice captain when Imran Khan was captain
mortimer says
Thanks, Infidel. Pakistan’s sports teams do all the Islamic prayers and many of them become real fanatics.
mortimer says
Thanks to SP. These cricketers use their sports-star status to promote genocide against Hindus. Hindus in Pakistan will be murdered as a result of these vicious comments.
mortimer says
Yes, the so-called ‘religion of peace’. He wants to imitate Mohammed the jihadist-terrorist who committed violent deeds every six weeks in the last 10 years of his life.
Mohammed owned a sword called ‘The Backbone Cleaver’ (Arabic: Dhu-al-fiqar). The idea is that it will cut through the very tough spinal column in order to remove a man’s head. Mohammedans think the name is ‘cool’. In Mohammed’s official biography, The Sira, we read:
“When the apostle arrived at the home of his family he gave his sword to his daughter Fatima, saying, ‘Wash the blood from it, little one. By Allah, it has been true to me today.’ Ali, too, gave her his sword and said, ‘Take this and wash the blood from it. By Allah, it has been true to me today’. The name of the apostle’s sword was Dhul‑Faqar.” – Chap.14 – Uhud, Sirat Rasoul Allah
Yes, isn’t Islam a real ‘religion of peace’? Oops, I meant religion of ‘pieces’. Even the name Mohammed gave to his own sword referred to DECAPITATION.
Muslims know that.

This Javed Miandad is one of the vilest of vile Jehaadi worm who has given his son in marriage to the notorious Jehaadi and crime don Dawood Ibrahim…. This shameless repulsive creature exalts in threatening Hindus with mass murder… At the same time, this filthy creature wants Indian money from cricket to feed his bankrupt terrorist good for nothing nation,
Salome says

The above should link to a story of Miandad’s conduct as a cricketer. Just as well he didn’t have a sword in those days.

By all means, bring a sword to a gun fight…
