Our country's government and society might be beyond our control, but we can take charge of the cricket board. Storm the PCB! Heads must roll and butts be kicked, they say. We no longer have the luxury to be a tolerated laughing stock. We no longer have the luxury to sit on our butts. Indeed, we no longer have the luxury to make Butt jokes - that's how serious this is, they say. It's life or death for Pakistan cricket. It's now or never.
The idea is that one's confidence in the truth of cricket has been shattered, and every fan has been left utterly confused. If only we were using the UDRS: now that would clear everything up, wouldn't it, for this is a simple game, is it not? If you're out, you're out, and if you're in, you're in, and if you cross the line... it's time for a change.
