There are times in the history of a national sport which represent a watershed moment. Basically an event which sparks off a critical change in thought approach and strategy. The Kerry packer series was such a watershed in cricket’s glorious past which gave birth to the ODI format for example. Pakistan’s cricket has been suffering…
The recent fortunes of the Pakistan team have been unsurprising to say the least. Deprived of any real cricket for the last 6 months due to the situation of the country and the unwillingness of the rest of the world to risk live and limb to play with us we have become sluggish in adaptation…
