Mohammad Asif must share a hefty burden of responsibility © Getty Images It is something of a fantasy to expect the Pakistan Cricket Board to be ranked with the world’s leading national sporting bodies. But it is entirely reasonable to expect competence. The reign of Dr Nasim Ashraf has been filled with grand intentions and destroyed by grand misjudgements. The recent farce of leaked emails and bugged phone conversations is symptomatic of an organisation crippled by a critical breakdown in relationships between senior management. All this unwelcome controversy, however, fails to distract from the PCB’s greatest mistake under Dr Ashraf, which is its mishandling of the drugs problem. The issue of drugs in sport cuts to the heart of sporting professionalism and administrative excellence. It is a marker of integrity and an examination of the robustness of a Cricket system. While Mohammad Asif was rotting in Dubai custody, a routine urine sample taken in India was fermenting an overpowering stench. The decision makers in Pakistan Cricket must ask themselves how a young cricketer—a bright star—could be allowed to transgress so soon after another scandal almost ended his career? Asif must share a hefty burden of responsibility. There was a time when the mere thought of representing your country filled cricketers with such pride that they would not risk damaging their careers. Now it seems that these young stars achieve too much fame too soon ...

FB Deon "Cricket" Anderson has a mouth full of sweet teeth , so we were awfully suspicious when we saw him carrying three to-go boxes last night. We were certain that at least one of them was stuffed with dessert. One scribe was so sure that he bet Cricket (who got his nickname by eating an insect to erase a locker-room gambling debt last training camp ) five bucks. Cricket proudly opened the boxes to reveal a few slices of pizza, a couple burgers and some french fries. "Whoo! I'm done with dessert!" hollered Cricket, who checked into camp weighing a lean and mean 244 pounds. ...
