Sorry guys, but After watching ICC world cup on TV I can’t go back to watchin local cricket. I won’t even watch cup match any more since 99.99 percent of the time it ends up in a draw. The rules make our game uncompetitive and Our boys just don’t have it, no matter how many thousands of dollars are invested in them.
