What’s wrong in Pakistan Cricket?

Posted by admin (#1) 505 days ago (http://www.thescooptimes.com)

Lahore: The words of Pakistani cricket team supporter still haunts the national cricket team. “How the mighty have fallen,” was a shocking fan wrote on his twitter account just after the Pakistan cricket team lost to Afghanistan in the first ever Asian Games cricket event.
Although the loss at the hands of minnows Afghanistan was felt as if it was at the behest of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as a goodwill gesture for appointing Rashid Latif, the former Pakistan wicketkeeper as the national coach of Afghanistan cricket team, for with his English and cricketing skills; many feel it was another example of the pathetic state of the Pakistan Cricket Team.

The past 2 years has seen them lose, 10 out of 19 Tests and 26 times out of 38 they ended up loosing in the ODIs. The only saving grace believed to be was the T20 world cup win in 2009.
When the Scoop Times tried to find out whats wrong in Pakistan cricket, it has been found that the real downfall started in 2002, when six suspected HUJI terrorists failed to kidnap Indian cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Saurav Ganguly.
A source from PISS (Pakistan International Sportsmen Society), on condition of anonymity told us, “Unlike what the Indian authorities believe that the two would have been ransomed in exchange of jailed terrorists, Pakistan would have provided them Pakistani citizenship and force them to play for us. This plot was formulated by our smartest cricketer Shoaib Malik who has an IQ of 31. Later the idea was outsourced to Lalit Modi once Shoaib fell in love with Sania and thus started legal buying-selling of cricketers, read the Indian Premiere League (IPL).” Incidentally, Malik’s batting average is less than his IQ.
It has come to light that the failed bid to ‘tame” the two Indian stars has given raise to spot-fixing scandals that has plagued the Pakistan cricket team. Sir Illaiya Nunnuswami, a British lawyer associated with CRAB (Cricketers Regularly Accused of Betting) told us in a matter-of-fact tone, “Had this plot succeeded, who knows how much money PCB would have made. There would have been no need for players to indulge in spot-fixing”
Mohammed Amir, the 18-year-old pace sensation, who was in the center of the infamous spot-fixing scandal sounded disappointed: “After the publicity that Kasab got, even terrorists from my village are getting higher wages than our international cricketers. What do you want me to do now – throw no-balls or hand grenades?”
There has also been discontent over the PCB banning Twitter and Facebook for Pakistani cricketers. Nilofer Bano, chairperson PETA (Pakistan English Teachers’ Association), was seen outraged, “I myself know of three top cricketers who have spent their whole annual income to learn English so that they can Tweet without shame. Is this the way PCB would encourage the spirit of learning and considering how less they play these days, they need Facebook for timepass, don’t they?”
But there is hope that all is not lost yet, the Pakistani Team is embarking on a tour of New Zealand to face the Black Caps who were beaten black and blue by Bangladesh and India (4-0 and 5-0 respectively) recently. Waqar Younis, the current Pakistani Coach before embarking on this tour said, “This is the best possible preparation we can have for the World Cup 2011.”
