#1 Yep, the Cricket World Cup beckons. Let's see if the Pakistan team team can compete:

1. Without storming off the pitch in a huff.

2. Without claiming to be the victims of a racist/anti-muslim conspiracy by the International Cricket Council

3. Without getting any more players suspended for substance abuse (tournament played in Caribbean)

4. Without throwing the final for a betting scam the players have set up.

#2 #1./ As an old time cricket follower, I was lead to believe that one's National Team were Ambassadors of their country:

bit of sledging from the Aussies;

a ribbing by the South Africans;

bit of Jihad and taqiya from the Pakis, return to normal.
