Awaiting details...

After the farce of a test in Aussie where we all joked about them being on the take I'm not that surprised. There's basically no other reason for the tactics they employed at the end of Aussie's second innings and it seems the Pakistan Cricket Authorities are not oblivious to that.

Fucked up man. This won't go down well with the players I think. It wouldn't surprise me if they protest...

They are not doing this because of match fixing Jono.

This is simply a knee jerk reaction that we have been waiting for since they left Aussie. We also know from reports a couple of weeks back that some bans and fines were on its way but players will be able to appeal.

Firstly the dropping of Khan and then making MoYo captain. Khan making himself unavailable for selection. The in team and public fighting thats been going on. MoYo blaming Malik for his involvement in the dressing room and how he effected players. If this was match fixing it would have been over with now ... its not even started!

How long until they can play for NZ?

Agrred Q - this is going to be a total shit storm.

It's a shame that religious politics and extremism might just see the end of any kind of Pakistani international cricket calendar. This internal insanity combined with the obvious external terrorist type threats, I think they're in HUGE trouble. Sad for a country with a such a fierce cricketing history.

Wow, that's crazy then.

Its fucked the Akmal brother Umar got done because he threatend to quit the team if they didn't recall Khan for AUssie and the other brother got done because of his poor form POOR FORM? its fucked ... and it makes me sad, like Nath said this could mean the end of Pakistan cricket as we know it ... I loved them

Clearly whatever has been happening in the dressing room is very very serious.

To basically say you wont be selecting your two best batsmen ever again indicates something more than just personality issues or leadership issues.

Those players must have done something pretty extreme to warrant bans like that.

I blame the beard

Kamran got mouthy at the management after he was dropped from the team for poor performance (remember all those catches he dropped?) and Umar faked an injury in protest at what he saw as his brother being unfairly treated. He later confessed and played anyway.
