Faislabad
The players, experts, spectators, all disappointed with the draw at Lahore were upbeat when they reached Faislabad.
After all, the name of the city was "Faisla"bad. Faisla in hindi/urdu means result, so a result was inevitable.
As the fifth day dawned, everyone realised that they had been too hasty in translating the city's name. They translated just a part of it. "bad" in hindi/urdu means later. Thus 'Faislabad' would mean 'Result Later'.
No wonder it was a draw...
This 'joke' if you can call it that was originally thought up by Sumeet many years back.
