stop embarrassing pakistan cricket...

shared by straight point on Thursday, November 12, 2009

last time when younis khan faced match fixing charges and he and intikhab alam were made to face parliamentary board to lose a game... i wondered whether pakistan really need a captain...

....and if they really need would it be better if they organise a draw before every match and whoever name comes out should be send to do the toss to make it less fussy...

but seriously... this time some selfish souls with no remorse to what their action will lead to... again managed to dig lowest of depth to embarrass pakistan cricket... as if they own it...

they didn't even bother to finish the series first and then do the talking... the easiest way they have come up with is to surrender a match they should have won knowing very well that after that they won't have to do anything... the waiting ex-cricketers who have nothing but the 'best of intentions' for pak cricket will lap up the opportunity like a starving dog catches a bone... making media sound as step cousin in making noises... not that media is complaining... they thrive on these situations which keeps their eye balls from falling away...

but where does this leaves pak cricket... why every time it needed to be embarrassed to make a point...?

in a team there will always be difference of opinions... and not every time players will like the decisions team management or captain takes... then why these players can not accept the differences and just play to the best of their abilities... the very thing which made them stars and have the courage to do the coup as and when they want... but more importantly and surprisingly too... why pcb is silent spectator to all the drama that is happening to boost the egos of these selfish souls...?

so the player who was asked to step down due to another revolt and who openly declared that he won't neither open nor come at no. 3 again is made to play in the team... the player who pick and chose the format that interest him... always shuns the responsibility... is made to believe that he is the messiah of pak cricket... the captain who has just won you a t20 world cup... is made to look like a criminal on parole... and the player who made the mockery of pakistan cricket by his flip-flops is rewarded the leadership of the team...

can even the daily soap opera get better than this...?

if i were pcb i would have made more money by giving media rights to these off field dramas than the actual play on the field... talking about seeing opportunities in adversities...

but seriously... with the riches of talent pakistan cricket has... its beyond me why they keep falling to the whims and fancies of these players who have nothing but their own agendas to settle... have no interest where the team is heading... or how the pakistan cricket is getting projected in front of world... in fact actively participate to make it a 'butt' of joke...

does the match fixing only happens when the money is being offered and taken...? does this act not tantamount to match fixing... and if yes will someone take step in this direction...?

its never too late to make a fresh start...

why can't pakistan shun these players from its system... its far better to lose a game on cricketing skills than losing a game just coz some players with vested interest wanted it that way...

This has been the perennial problem with Pak cricket. Tale of cliques, cartels and intrigues. You never know which of your ambition teammate actually has a dagger up his sleeve and who is hatching what controversy where. Really sad for such a talented team.

The crux of the problem is that political oppointments of the PCB chief and corruption in the establishments.The players can't do anything wrong if they don't believe that they can get away with murder.

PCB establishment over the years have maintained a status quo as far as the core group of players in the team is concerned regardless of their performance they manage to get selected in every series.

All we need is the inclusion of two youngsters in the middle order to restore the balance.

wasim the youngsters will be reduced to the level of pawns in the hand of these morons if the system will not back them...

in that light i found rashin latif latest article very apt... here is the link
