Here are the reasons why;
1. Rubbish cricket.
2. Rubbish cricket.
3. Rubbish cricket.
4. Can't be bothered.
5. No funds for sports.
The nation is obsessed by cricket.Anyone who is anyone with athletic ability is channeled straight into cricket. Why the hell would you send men in the 6ft 4 region into cricket, when you could have them boxing, wrestling etc? Where they will not only be earning medals, but far more money in the professional ranks after.
Pakistan is also run by thieves on so many levels and the money is wasted on everything but sporting talent. There is virtually no infrastructure around.
Many Pakistanis themselves cannot be bothered either, sitting on Facebook all day long, or looking for kuriyan at the mall sounds like a far better proposition, rather than sweating it out in a sporting discipline.
Some sports require very little funding, I mean how much does it cost for wrestling mats? For crying out loud Iran is right next door, why don't you send your men to train with them? Look at their success in wrestling!!What about weightlifting, that's also cost effective, and Pakistan has had success with it in the past.
Sticking with the issue of funding, many poor countries e.g. Uzbekistan did very well.
It's just plain pathetic and sad, I just can't believe the greatest wrestler that ever lived, The Great Gamma came from the region. It's also insulting to the legacy of people like Mohammed bashir and Syed Hussian Shah, men who won medals in very hard disciplines, and yes, they also faced similar problems of funding, and lack of facilities.
