Well, despite the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) digging its heels in and threatening everything within its power, the Australian tour of Pakistan is looking unlikely, bar some final diplomatic shuffling around.
“We are very sympathetic to the PCB’s concerns and frustrations and passion to see this tour go ahead, but our pragmatic view is that the decision will be based on the safety and security advice we are given. We haven’t reached that point yet,” a CA spokesman said.
Which, essentially, is doublespeak for, “there’s no way in hell we’re going”.
