This article sums up what ever I have gone through as well. I remember the times when I’d listen to the commentaries of test matches with a transistor radio in the blanket in cold winter nights.
Fast forward…the way Pakistani cricket team has performed during the past decade and the indifferent attitude of PCB to the game, I have stopped watching the game altogether. I can care less of what result emerges out of the games that Pakistan plays (it’s predictable in any case). Even the last game between Pakistan and India, just watched bits and pieces. I think PCB has been successful in turning many fans away..
PCB and Pakistan cricket reflect what has been happening in Pakistan in the last decade.
Off course PCB is pathetic and useless but don't expect miracles from anyone as long as country is going through this phase which seems to be getting worse every day.
in my humble opinion, Pakistan team's performance has deteriorated too much because the game has changed drastically in the last 10 years or so when teams have started scoring upwards of 300. in the past, Pakistan used to win it's matches when they had to score 250-275.
don't forget that quality of the cricket game has tremendously improved in the last decade as far as scoring big totals is concerned.
Pakistan needs to concentrate on batting and learn how to use it's resources effectively.
lol...no, i'm not an expert in sarcasm. there are others on GS who are far superior than me. :)
btw, are you watching BAN vs AFG match? :)
Very nice way to steer away from the topic but no, I don't have the patience to watch any sport. I just keep tabs on the scores, I think Afghanistan will win though.

dekhaa, kaise baat badal di? :)
i think Bangladesh is a better team than AfGhanistan and it will win unless AfGhanistan plays exceptionally well which is highly unlikely.

I don't have a preference really but since Pakistan trained Afghani team and totally crushed Bangladesh last year thus my prediction. But Bengali team is hardworking so if they win, I'll be happy for them as well.
