PCB bungles again

The things in Pakistan cricket could not have turned more ugly and comical from what has turned out on Wednesday. The incompetent Ijaz Butt banned Yusuf and Yunis for life and then did a u-turn by terming it indefinete. The most important players of Pakistan in the formats that matter have been banned for indefinete period if we may call it, thats going to plunge the team to even more lower heights of performance on field.

The show stoppers -- Malik and Rana including Afridi and bugsy brothers have been let off with relatively easier bans / fines.  Butt has not bothered to explain the reasons behind the severe and stringent punishment handed out to Ys. Neither to Malik and Rana. And why were Akamal brothers let off just with the fine ? Did not Kamran Akamal make mockery of the PCB stance to drop him off the 3rd Test and instead have Sarfaraz somebody to play the test in public by giving out interviews to Oz media ?

What about Butt ? He goes scot free. He has been the man in the center of all the incompetence and drama thats been happening in Pakistan cricket all this years and he has got no stain on his resume.

This is not enough, there is more to follow and the things would only get murkier.   Only if PCB and its bosses had some balls to deal with this rut long back when it started, the things would not have come to this level. But then Butt has been known to show no logic and common sense.
