Daily Mail’s Martin Samuel hits out hard at Pakistan today, naming them enemies of cricket.
I think he is right. Pakistan are the worst thing to happen to cricket in the game’s history.
It is not just the manical chairman Butt with his ridiculous claims, but everyone in Pakistan cricket, including captain Afridi, who stupidly tried to take the moral high ground after the Riaz-Trott incident.
Nobody in their camp has ever spoken out against anything that has happened in these last few weeks. They’re all trying to turn the blame on others instead of taking responsibility.
Always in defense, always pointing at others, always finding excuses and letting players of the hook, never getting to the bottom of things or trying to find a solution to apparent problems.
No wonder South Africa aren’t looking forward to touring Pakistan. It won’t be long before someone from Pakistan cricket will mention Cronje ..
Really, we don’t have anything useful to expect from Pakistan in this matter, so it’s time the ICC does something right for once and temporarily ban them from international cricket.
Let the ICC research all accusations of match-fixing, punish those players involved (if any are) and only then let Pakistan return to international cricket.
I’m just really fed up with Pakistan right now. I hope they lose today and don’t play England for a long, long time.
