Another Pakistan controversy

[Romeo]

In the past 6 months we've had.

'ball tampering'
refusing to come back on the ground after tea
the removal of Hair from the elite panel at their instigation
Younis refusing the captaincy
Asif and Shoaib done for drugs, banned and then the bans overturned by the PCB
Mustaq Ahmed sacked as bowling coach as he was about to board the flight to India for the Champions Trophy
Waqar sacked as bowling coach in South Africa, abused the board for this and then the board returned fire and described him as incompetent
Mustaq reinstated as bowling coach in South Africa
Gibbs banned for test matches for responding to alleged abuse from Pakistani spectators.

Now this is a former player but the trend continues.

Moin Khan, the former Pakistan captain and wicketkeeper, was freed on bail after a brief detention over a complaint that he beat up his wife at home.
Moin, who lives in Karachi's Clifton seaside area, was arrested early Tuesday morning after his wife, Tasneem Khan, lodged a complaint with a local police helpline. He was subsequently released in the evening after submitting a surety bond, local police officer Azad Khan said.
"Moin was produced before a court and on a guarantee that he would not repeat the act he was released," Khan said.
The 35-year-old former wicketkeeper-batsman, who played 69 Tests and 219 one-day internationals for Pakistan, was quoted in Jang, a Karachi-based Urdu daily, as saying that he committed the act "in extreme anger".
"It was a personal matter and I would like to solve it in consultation with my elders," Moin reportedly added.

Wow, you really are scratching desperately for 'controversy', aren't you?

[bus24]

I thought Wife Bashing would have been legal in Pakistan

[Romeo]

Wow, you really are scratching desperately for 'controversy', aren't you?


So you don't regard the aforementioned as controversies of sorts?

[just maybe]

So you don't regard the aforementioned as controversies of sorts?

Most of them, no.

[King Elvis]

Maybe Gibbs was talking about this bloke?

[RoosterLad]

not sure if this should be on the cricket board

[Romeo]

not sure if this should be on the cricket board

Well it's reported in all mainstream media.

[eddiesmith]

Most of them, no.
So most would be 5 or more of the 9

So which of these isnt controversial
Ball tampering
forfeiting the match
having an umpire removed
Drug scandal
Racial abuse

[RoosterLad]

Well it's reported in all mainstream media.

so anything reported in mainstream media should be posted as an article on the cricket board by Romeo?

[just maybe]

Ball tampering
forfeiting the match
having an umpire removed

They're all the same issue. Let's not cheat now.


Racial abuse

That was South Africa, not Pakistan.

[NSWCROW]

Culture :rolleyes:

[eddiesmith]

They're all the same issue. Let's not cheat now.



That was South Africa, not Pakistan.
Caused by Pakistan fans

Er...fans being tools is not a controversy, nor is it limited to Pakistan.

[Ice goddess]

And he also forgot Afridi's scuffing of the pitch. Or at least his little dance on the pitch.:D
