Seriously, though, how does that even remotely compare to the sheer idiocy of a succession of PCB and WICB decision-takers? Heaven knows how many potentially excellent players have ended-up either far less good or not playing due to them.NZ are the worst for mine. For all the annoying things that all the other boards do and there are many, none of them have their very best player not playing directly due to their own incompetency.
Sympathy?Sympathy vote for CA.
Hmm, doesn't change how incompetently the whole thing was handled though. They also fired their top-class captain leading directly to his resignation from NZ cricket completely. Lots of their players have gotten disenchanted with the board and quit as a result. As man-management goes, you can't get much worse than that.And as I've said before, it's not like Bond was cut-off in the first slice of youth. He was going to retire anyway, and probably wouldn't have lasted much longer even in ODIs.
It is extremely obvious to me why Pakistan has the most votes.
I chose Pakistan because of numerous incidents in the recent past such as:
The controversial Bob Woolmer death.
In what way does that reflect badly on the PCB?[Suppose I best get rid of it. TBH I thought it added to the contrevsial history of Pakistan.
Hmm, ITSTL. Sinclair-related?AW pasag's deleted post.
NZC are shocking where man-management is concerned, beyond question. However, others are even worse, both in that department and many others. NZC actually do a decent job where organising games of cricket is concerned, from what I can see - I'm far from an expert on the ins and outs though.Hmm, doesn't change how incompetently the whole thing was handled though.

Even tough Daryl Hair was correct about the ball tampering incident, instead of giving away the four runs and a new ball from the choice of the batsmen as the punishment. They protested by not playing. They thought they were correct even though Darly had pointed out the tamper marks, so Daryl Hair got removed from the Panel of international umpires.
Now we come to Shoaib Aktar. After hitting his own team mate(Mohhamad Asif), he somehow manages to not get banned for life. After the attack which could have killed him.
Shahid Afridi attacked a supporter, again no discipline in this tam whatsoever
