Good old Pakistan cricket

Pakistan cricket - What would we do without them?

3 captain changes in 2 days, the Chairman resigns 2 months before his term expired, the Manager sacked, the Assistant coach sacked for no apparent reason, some more office bearers resign/sacked, rumours about the suspended captain also being sacked, the first Test match forfeit ever, ball tampering/match fixing/ [replace with scandal of the season], fervent calls to God at the drop of a hat/player or grant of a Man of the Match Award, the President/Dictator for Life having a say on their arch-rivals' hairstyles, ex-greats sniping at each other, current prima donnas strutting around like Brit rock stars - it has them all!

I feel for the average Pakistani cricket fan - infuriating does not begin to describe what it must feel like to support this motley crew.
