A brief history of Paistan cricket

Pakistan goes to England to play test series against Australia and England - 2010

• Shoaib Malik has been pardoned
• Kamran Akmal is part of test sqaud for Australia and England series; so is Shoaib Malik.
• Afridi renounces captaincy and test cricket after disasterous Ist test against Australia (of course no questions asked)
• Salman Butt was made the captain and the team (huffed and puffed but eventually) won
• Asif/Aamer pronounced the best fast bowling pair in the world
• Pakistan has the best bowling attack in the world
• Yousuf recalled even though he has no match practice
• Younis waiting to be recalled although he is playing in England
• Danish Kanaria replace with an unknown bowler

Is that surprising? Pakistan cricket team (courtsey their administration and infighting within team) are predictable. You can predict them to lose a test match and that too abysmally.

Alas! It is sad for world cricket. World cricket needs a strong Pakistan team . As such there are only 9 test playing nations out of which one should not have been there in first place.

My name is also Khan!

This would have been more appropriate title for Imran Khan's article published in Outlook India. It would have given Mr. Khan more visibility.

Mr. Khan suggestion that Shahid Afridi was merely smelling the ball and not tempering it, is not only outlandish but also downright hilarious. He quotes

Shahid can also smell with his mouth and his teeth

Even if we believe it is true then why did Afridi admit and apologized. Read more about the ball tampering incident at

Afridi banned for two T20s for ball-tampering
