Make no mistake, I give the guy props for at least representing the Pakistani perspective (and in decent English, thank god). Sadly, the PCB’s inertial frame defies human understanding, so the poor guy’s columns always read the same way, the ad-hoc way the Board is run, decrying the lack of a constitution.

Quick Hits

The ones not primarily concerned with the signing (ie, the ones where the reasons for Ben deciding to leave [...]
Kobe’s 81 — Scoop gets it!
