When A Country Loses Control

How do you know when your country is losing its grip on security? Well one good sign is when you can no longer play international sporting fixtures in your own country.

Pakistan is playing a 'home' cricket fixture against Australia in Britain this summer, because its no longer possible to safely do so in Pakistan...... no matter how this is dressed up, it speaks volumes about the state of Pakistan today.

    Surely the Pakistan Cricket Board should be applauded for their forward thinking in allowing England an easy summer victory, by not playing the games in Pakistan. had the games been played there, then surely the series would have been reduced to a draw by the Duck & Lewis Method, thanks to the adverse weather conditions that would have prevented play. Obviously the Pakistan Cricket Board should maybe have passed on their advance weather forcast to the corrupt and inept Pakistan goverment.
