Wounded Tiger: The History of Cricket in Pakistan review

The Guardian's Peter Wilby review of Peter Osbourne's book Wounded Tiger: The History of Cricket in Pakistan makes for some interesting reading.

Quote:Over the last decade, Pakistan, without ever achieving consistency, has still managed some outstanding performances, twice beating an England side fresh from Ashes success with some comfort. Its survival as a major cricketing force is a greater miracle than its original emergence. Since the turn of the century, one disaster has followed another. A tour by New Zealand was abandoned after a suicide bomber struck a hotel where both teams were staying; another ended when the visiting Sri Lankans' bus was attacked; during a tour of England, an umpire accused the team of ball tampering; their coach, Bob Woolmer, died in mysterious circumstances during a World Cup tournament in the West Indies; three players, including the captain, were implicated in a betting scandal exposed by the News of the World.

when will they stop cheating
[/quote] All countries cheat but they are always severe on punishment  regarding  Pakistan.
The English are always biased towards Asians but the  Indians can fight back because of clout.
Most of the  accusations against Pakistanis originates in England and some that readily comes to mind in the Darrel  Hair affair and the fake shiek    from the News Of the world  .
The English are so nefarious that in the recent Anderson affair , no  video can be found and  so Anderson was cleared. This from a country with the most CCTV per capita in the world.
