Does Pakistan Cricket need morons like current PCB Boss...

...Wetting his pants because Pakistan lost a one dayer to India by 140 runs? I dount he would be so ballistic if this loss had happened against any other side than India. Had it been against Australia, he would have said they are the best side and a World Champion side and these things happen in cricket. India has lost by margins of 240 runs and 170 runs in Sharjah to Sri Lanka and Pakistan in the past but we never had Indian Board chief write letters to team management with such childish criticism and behavour strictures. The PCB Chief has written a letter to Pak team management even cribbing about Pak players keeping a smiling face after the 140 run loss. So what are they supposed to do? Bawl like babies [or Sree] and keep sporting gestures at bay?


Such letters and demands only put more unnecessary pressure on the team and players and hardly helps them play better cricket.

Pakistan cricket chief warns team


The head of Pakistani cricket has taken the unusual step of writing directly to the team management, expressing his disgust with the humiliating 140-run defeat to India in the triangular series in Bangladesh.

Pakistan's 12-match winning streak was brought to a shuddering halt by India in Mirpur on Tuesday, although 10 of those victories were against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

The heavy loss prompted Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Nasim Ashraf to send an email to team manager Talat Ali, expressing his displeasure with the performance and commitment of the players and officials.

The contents of the message were widely reported in the local media on Thursday with English daily Dawn highlighting some of Ashraf's more critical words.

"Last night's performance against India in which we lost by over 100 runs was embarrassing," Ashraf wrote.

"It is not a question of losing a match but our overall performance and the lack of resolve and commitment bothered me.

"We were smiling and joking as if we were some junior team which was happy just to be given the privilege of playing against a top team. This has to stop."

Ashraf singled out wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal, describing his performance as "pathetic", particularly an incident when he dropped a catch but still claimed it.

"This is unsporting behaviour but perhaps one has to give him the benefit of the doubt. But I do not want such behaviour from our players please warn everyone. We ought to be looking at playing another wicketkeeper," Ashraf added.

no.
