Senate committee to question Malik, Intikhab Alam and Qadir

Pakistan's Senate's Standing Committee on Sports are going to ask the captain, coach and selector to explain the catastrophic collapse in the 3rd ODI.

I wonder how something like that would pan out in Australian.

India collapsed to 53 all out chasing 300 against Lanka at Sharjah in 2001 triangular final. Big deal. Lanka has a record of ambushing it's neighbours like this quite often. It is surprising that despite restoration of so called 'democracy', such dictatorial handling still plagues PCB........

funny that just a couple of days before the match cricinfo had an article about SL's struggles against Pakistan.

but yes these politicians need to stay away from the game.

What can the coach and captain say other than,"We played like shit."?

Or give the low down on the odds they got?

a lot of these corrupt politicians can only give the players advice about how to fix matches...
nothing else.

Well I can't see how Malik can continue as captain. According to reports he's at odds with half the team.

yeah.

In Pakistan young captains don't get much respect especially if the player can't even make the test team
