During all the current political turmoil, the axing of the chief justice of pakistan, the protest of lawyers, the storming into the property of private news channel, we , the pakistanis , looked at one thing to cheer us up - CRCIKET.
But it did not cheer us up.
As if the current crisis wasnt enough, we now have antoher crisis - this time CRICKET -
Though not many would have dared dream Pakistan loosing to Ireland, but looking at the inconsistent and unpredictable nature of the pakistan cricket team - this would have happenned.
People may say whatever they may- bad selection , bad performance, bad team, bad shots - it simply wasnt pakistan's day.
Pakistan cricket team has seen many lows- from lowers ever score in the odi, to loosing to bangladesh in wc 99 , to loosing to india and loosing the final of the wc 99 -
we have seen many lows -
but this time this low is far much steeper - and will take a long time to resurrect.
What may be, the fans will ask for retirements, removal etc of all sorts -
May be the immediate measure is for Imran Khan to take up as teh head of the cricket board. He has declined this offer many a times, but may be he should at least try to improve one department of our country.
specially since his political party focuses on the youth of the country, and cricket is one game that the youth is passionate about, it might be the time that he should think of taking up the role of the pcb and start re-engineering the things - this might also give some mileage to his party and his political career.
