The Oxy Departs....

[MIG]

The legend, an unstoppable force of nature, the conscience of Pakistani cricket and lovers of the game - those are some of the ways we can describe our brother Oxy.

As he takes off his pads and puts down his bat as member of staff at PakPassion, we at the Admin team, wish him the best of luck.

With this sadness, there is also a glimmer of happiness - the fact that he will continue to contribute with his gems as a regular member. But, make no mistake, Oxy is no regular member!

Oxy is synonymous with PakPassion - his posts are not meant for PhD enthusiasts but hit the nail on head in ways that many of us can only hope for !

As to the reason for leaving us - I quote from his emai to us

Its difficult to explain - I have just fallen out of love with Pakistani cricket. I would say PP is one of the best things that ever happened to me, but I just feel as though Ive hit that wall - discussing Pak cricket; arguing about Pak players; the captaincy; the corruption; the fixing etc etc just dont have any appeal. ...

Pakistani cricket can do this to you !

Please join me in wishing our Oxy a fond farewell and pray to ALLAH that we see him back on our forums - just like the old days !

[Rana]

bye bye

[1137moiz]

Salam and fi AmaanAllah. it was always a treat to read his heavily sarcastic, dry comments

[farsiddiqui]

Hope to still see your witty one-liners on PP from time to time.

Pakistani cricket is like a bad coke habit. I've been trying to kick it for some time but just feel helpless when the game begins.

[MIG]

Waisay, Oxy is a fool if he thinks he can get away from Pak cricket !

He will be back, once his Faisalabad Superman starts taking big wickets

[Savak]

Sometimes certain things happen to us in life which takes a hit on our passions/interests. Even Cricket has taken a complete backseat for me over the last year and a half.

[1137moiz]

I fell out of love with cricket back in mid-2008...fell back in love during the Australia-RSA series

[muhammad saad]

*** ? Stupid thread title I feel horrible at first glance ,but after seeing views/reply ratio I feel relieved

[BakuGM]

For someone who does not post regularly but read PP comments on a daily basis it's sad to see Oxy leave the areana. His are the comments I enjoyed thoroughly and PP readers are going to be poorer by his absence. Good Luck Oxy with your life.

[Amjid Javed]

Brilliant Poster and Probably Best MOD ever on Pakpassion!

Am sure we will see OXY come back to PP at some point!

Like many a Pakistan legend am sure a U-turn is just around the corner!

[WithLoveFromCanada]

I will remember Oxy for all his background work to get me back on the forum...One of the best admins who's really supportive in trouble times..

All the best Oxy!

Thats my sneaky plan as well

[tdigi]

Oxy.. greetings from across the border and as others have said, I expect you to be back. Your presence has been enjoyed by many.

Enjoy your break while it lasts!

[W63L35]

Shocked!!!

Its difficult to explain - I have just fallen out of love with Pakistani cricket. I would say PP is one of the best things that ever happened to me, but I just feel as though Ive hit that wall - discussing Pak cricket; arguing about Pak players; the captaincy; the corruption; the fixing etc etc just dont have any appeal. ...

But I can totally understand where he is coming from. I feel exactly the same way. This series (in Dubai) is the first series in last "too many" years, that I did not feel like watching live and I did not. I have not even seen the highlites of the games except for one or two ODIs.

I hope things change for the better for Paksitan cricket in very near furture. Will miss you as a Mod, though!

[Rana]

[Theo_14]

I'm one of the youngest posters here - and thanks to Oxy I've developed/improved alot over te past years or so.

It'll be different to see Oxy posting without his name being bolded in red - just doesn't feel the same.

Very sad to hear this but I'm not suprised because many Pakistani fans who have been supporting Pakistan for years are losing their passion - it's not their fault it's natural, you cannot change your natural feeling about something and it was bound to happend one day considering how poor Pakistan have been.

Sad to hear this.

[James]

Oxy - please stand by me whilst England endure another disastrous Ashes tour

[sully3]

he never really liked me/my posts

but during the england series i really got found of his brilliant posts.

like many times i have quoted his one liner's as "comedy genius"
he really was a comedy genius.


one of my found memories of him was when he explained what griller chicken was to me. one of the PPers posted a picture of moyo in his dad's chicken shop.

hope u read this oxy, ur posts were one of the reason i liked spending time on pak passion.

[sully3]

[Amjid Javed]

[pakcricketfan]

Aww..That's not a good news

I really really hope to see Oxy bro back with his matchless one-liners on PP VERY soon..

[Amjid Javed]

Enjoy the legend that was OXY

http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/sh...ighlight=beast

[sunnykhan]

i am shocked at his reason for departure!

[1137moiz]

Whoa @ Oxy's brutal hitting! Lol that six was cool, here's the commentary

9.4. (so and so) to Oxy, SIX, boom! Length ball, lines it up and slams it over long-on

[Passion4Pakistan]

Sorry to say, But when I read the Headline, I thought he is no more. But thank God, its nothing like that..

Hope he will get back.......

[Rana]

These are useless, you cant see his face!

[iZeeshan]

Oh how I have looked forward to this day.

Just kidding. We'll miss you Oxy. Definitely a PP legend.

[Markhor]

Great service to PP Oxy ! Though you're right,do ALL fans even care if theres a Pak match going on or the result,its all too predictable,theres only so many times you can debate the incomptency of Mr Ijaz Butt !

Good luck in future endeavours...maybe an ARY job ?

[Gollum]

Best mod on PP ever!!! Hope you will be back Oxy. No one else can replicate your sense of humour on this forum!

[amarmak]

Same for me.... cricket was my oxygen and i know i'll be able to breath again one day.

That depends on Ijaz Butt leaving first though. God knows when that'll happen.

[Afridi_Fan]

Oxy! This is simply NOT acceptable. Drag your lazzy ass back to PP.

GET BACK MATE.

Ab mein kis key saath lunch and tea intervals mein married life per insightful discussion keroon ga.

You better get back soon.

[JellyBro]

oh he'll be back

[kingusama92]

I already declared Oxy as my favourite poster a long time ago. Not just one of my favourite posters, but my topmost favourite.

This is a tough one to swallow.

Oxy please make a u-turn.

[Afridi_Fan]

Many of the young kids on this forum won't even have an idea what legend has left PP.

A real sad day for PP.

[Stewie]

Deserter!



Oxy, I cant fight the battle for Ajmal to become captain on my own now t hat you are gone buddy. Take U TURN NOW, keeping the Pakistani tradition alive. YOU CAN DO IT!

[BoomBoomCricket]

Sad news

He was a top poster with a first class sense of humour

[1137moiz]

wait--he's still gonna hang around here though isn't he?

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pakpassion - 1 Faisalabadi. Come on oxy plz come back.

[*sallu*]

What

I did notice he wasn't posting off late but, WHAT?

[Jedi Knight]

Oxy... You are a legend!!

[talha3]

By the looks of things, he's lost not only interest but also hope in Pak cricket. Bit surprising, but fair enough.

[kingusama92]

What about the race to 100,000 posts between AJ and Oxy?!

It was going to be an interesting finish.

[Newton_fan]

Khuda Hafiz Oxy

[sully3]

oxy comeback

[insaftak]

It’s not a defeat that destroys you, it’s being demoralised by defeat that destroys you. The oath taking, match fixing and incompetent brigade can do that to you. As long as younis khan is there I won't be demoralized. Will miss you oxy bahi

[12cavalry]

This guy can hit the cricket ball!!
I am new to this forum, so I dont know much about Oxy.
I have had similar thoughts of stop watching cricket...but I have made a U turn every time.I hope to see his posts..after all we gonna win the cup this time..inshallah

[Phuzz]

I also find it hard to support a bunch of corrupt individuals. I doubt I'll ever feel the same about Pakistani cricket again.

But yeah Good Luck

[Warfare]

He will be back

Pakistani cricket does this to you sometimes

However, in the unlikely case that Oxy does not return, this legend will always be remembered!

[saj001]

I will be joining him off with the way things are going.

[cricketpassion]

oxy please come back . We will miss you on PP

[forzapakistan]

Oxy is hilarious, he's always been one of my favourite posters. I'll miss his witty posts (or more precisely I should say "I have been missing" his witty posts, he hasn't posted much as of late), hope he'll reconsider. Don't leave us Oxy!

Oh I forgot one very important thing: Oxy are you seriously going to deprive us of your captions?! Picture threads won't be the same without them. Please do reconsider!!

[aqeelPK]

lol typical jazbati Pakistani. I am sure he will be back before christmas.

[sanakazmi]

oho, aap toh serious ho gayay! boo.

[Mr S Khan]

These are gutsy feeling of a very patriotic, committed and much focused individual...I really enjoyed his writings on PP...very thoughtful pp member and we will definitely ,miss his outlook on Pakistani Cricket..but I will request Oxy...don't leave the ground..try to be brave and try to rectify these issues with the Pakistani Cricket..as we all are should do in our own capacity..I have the same feeling about few months before...but I can not leave w/o Pakistani cricket...I am in love with it whatever these troubles issues are there...Pakistani Cricket is my only source of happiness.....

[Strike!]

Come back oxy.

[Cobra]

Yousuf style retirement, just for now, until things get better....i hope

[Cobra]

or is he serious? if he is it will be a big loss...just like yousuf

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

some of the one-liners that Oxy comes out with have truly made me laugh out loud. I remember one time I was in a meeting and someone was giving a very boring presentation. So I logged onto PP and read one of Oxy's posts and had to excuse myself to go the restroom to have a good chuckle. The man is a natural wit imo

but i think, and i hope, his departure will just be a break. I'm sure there are many other fans who are also feeling the same way about Pak cricket at this moment. But Pakistan cricket will survive. It might have to endure some more trauma in the near future but in time things will sort themselves out and Pak cricket will be stronger, better and cleaner for it

Players and coaches come and go, but the fans will always be there supporting the team with the passion and enthusiasm that Pak fans are renowned for. And in time so will Oxy once again imo

1.01 he comes back

[RehanG]

o cool i can take is place

[uzy99]

All the best OXY. Hope to see you on here from time to time.

[Oxy]

Thanks all.

Sometimes you just know when you gotta move on.

PP is in safe hands.

[atif.raza]

Oxy, would you be back if Pakistan wins the WC?

[Rana]

post your pic! Post your pic!

[taq12345]

Why quit after pulling of the great escape 2010 ? Atleast wait until we collapse in the next match !

[Saj]

A PakPassion legend.

Oxy has done some fantastic work over the years on behalf of PakPassion. His hard work and committment to PP will always be appreciated and remembered. A real team player and a top guy.

One of the funniest guys I have ever met and his posts always (well nearly) bring a smile to my face.

I think our finest moment together Oxy will be the closing moments of the 2009 t20 World Cup. We witnessed the last few overs together at Lords and then saw the celebrations of the Pakistani players from a few metres away from the Pak team's dugout. Then we both went to the post match YK press conference - great memories.

Whilst in theory you won't be part of the PP staff, we know that you won't be "too far away" and we all hope that you will still be posting on PP when you get the time.

All the best on your trip to Pakistan. I'm sure you'll have a few stories to share on PP when you get back and the very best wishes for the future.

[Kits]

All the best Oxy bhai.

It was always very entertaining to read your posts and you were one of my favourite posters. Although I have only recently joined the site, I have read your posts for many years. I loved your sense of humour and how you portrayed yourself ( always had wonderful things to say about yourself.........................not!!!)

[Radiance Of Australis]

G'bye Oxy!
Sad day for PP.

Gr eat poster with tons of wit and humor, I dont need to mention that.
Hope you return.

[IT_Khumbee]

Alvida Oxy

[Cryin Out Loud]

See ya around mate.

[kkmix]

He is pulling a Zoni trick? leaving pakistan cricket because got 1 bd msg fr leave pp.

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Will be sorley missed by many

[Desi_Joker]

Great poster! His input will definately be missed, as will be his humurous posts.

Best of luck to the legend that is otherwise known as The Oxy.

[Boi]

Oh, man. That's sad news.

Good luck on you're future ventures, Oxy.

[TAK]

oxy,

don't know if you are reading this but as a fellow old timer i know EXACTLY what you are talking about mate

keep in touch...

[SAF]

he's going through Pakistanieism
Its a common disease these days.
I am sure he will be back to his normal health once Pakistan win the WC. dont worry Oxy, I went through this disease in 07 as well.

[whatsup001]

Its a good thing that happened to this forum, please don't come back

[90MPH]

I hope he comes back, one of the more interesting posters with wit and humour.
