Paranoid nation

We have taken out-of-box thinking to amazing heights. The day began with the ‘breaking news’ of Moin Khan visiting a casino, and it immediately became a rage all over our print, electronic and of course social media. We finally cracked the real cause behind the collapse of Pakistani batsmen against the West Indies.
Casinos operate legally in the western world and, thus, do not present as hubs of illegal, shadowy activities such as match fixing that we all so desperately want to link this visit with. Taking innovative reasoning to new heights, a man filed a petition with the LHC to investigate technical reasons behind our field settings, team tactics and team selections. Watch out prospective players: next time anybody fails to score a 50 or a hundred, it may be his life on the line, or at least a jail term – what an enticing prospect to become a cricketer.
