End of Pakistan Cricket?

Pakistani cricket captain Younis Khan (C

Not shocking but still amazing to see PCB banning half of their team. PCB issues a lifetime ban on Mohammad Yousuf and Younis Khan. It’s a bit different from “lifetime achievement” award given to these great Pakistani players. Other than this, Shoaib Malik, the smart Afridi, Akmal brothers, Rana are also punished with limited ban and are asked to empty their pockets.

All this was because of the Match Fixing against Australia. That obviously reminds about “Afridi tasting ball” and “Akmal fumbling ball”.

As a summary, its the end of Pakistani cricket and one of the greatest batsman of Pakistan team.

A Ball a Day keeps Cricket Away

Just like Doctors say “An apple a day keeps doctor away”, cricket always says the same thing. In the last ODI between Pakistan and Australia, Afridi was caught tampering the ball with his mouth. According to laws of cricket, tampering ball is a serial offence. Afridi is banned for 2 T20 matches.

The most embarrassing thing was to see a captain of a team violating the laws of cricket. Does he deserve to be a captain?

During the press conference, Afridi admitted his fault and said : “I shouldn’t have done it. It just happened. I was trying to help my bowlers and win a match, one match”.

I am sure people must be chanting “Ban Ban Afridi”!
