Are you seriously entertaining the possibility that he’s become a better cricketer for having dumped Christianity for Islam ? Did you consider that his “sense of peace” may have come from his not being picked on anymore in a country that famed for its intolerance and brutal treatment of minorities. Its exactly this mindset that has led to the minority population (Hindus, Christians and Sikhs) almost disappearing from Pakistan in the last 50 years.

I don’t necessarily agree with Bill Maher all the time, but he got one right when he said that he would like to see a baseball fielder thank god or cross himself after he floors a catch. If the big G made good things happen, he must be responsible for mess-ups too. :-)

The conversion thing doesn’t seem to work much in combat sports though. I know of a couple of fighters who found God and were subsequently beaten quite badly.

I’m pretty sure Kurt Warner never played with the Saints. I wonder if you misstated the team or if you meant to say the current Saints QB, Drew Brees.

In any case, acknowledging God for sports victory is hardly rare. I almost rooted against Michael Chang because I was sick of hearing him praise “my lord and saviour Jesus Christ” on the victory stand.

Separation of church and sport, I say!
