Cricket between Pakistan and England seems to be jinxed. No series goes by without controversy, bitterness, accusations and counter-accusations. This year again the first shot has been fired by Bob Willis who has alleged that Saeed Ajmal has a suspect action. This after he had taken seven wickets in the Test mach currently being played in Abu Dhabi. The question that arises is why has this matter been raised now? Are the English playing mind games or are they simply whining as is their habit? They are known to be bad losers.
Irrespective of what transpires in the future, my advice to the management of the Pakistan cricket team and the players is to simply ignore the whole matter and concentrate on the game. This too shall pass.
