So, here is the update on the Pakistan cricket saga...
Younis Khan retired as captain, 3 times.
Shahid Afridi was captain, for 1 Test, because he was the only man for the job, but he retired, and Salman Butt was made captain, because Shahid Afridi was the only man for the job.
Kamran Akmal is vice captain, but is going to be dropped. Though he may be retained due to his superior batting ability, which resulted in scores of 0 and 0 in his last two innings.
Salman Butt may resign in disgust, because he was not consulted over Mohammad Yousuf's possible recall.
Mohammad Yousuf was recalled, even though he is retired, and banned for life.
Younis Khan is not recalled, because his appeal against his life ban was postponed.
Mohammad Yousuf is recalled, even though he is retired, and banned for life, because his appeal is not postponed, because he did not appeal.
Salman Butt may resign in disgust at not being consulted over Mohammad Yousuf's recall.
Which means Shoaib Malik, who was dropped, sacked, and banned, is the only man for the job.
But Shoaib Malik may resign in disgust, at Mohammad Yousuf's selection, due to Mohammad Yousuf not being happy with Shoaib Malik destabilising the team, while Mohammad Yousuf was captain.
Shoaib Malik may also be dropped, due to Danish Kaneria being dropped, and Saeed Ajmal being picked, thus negating the need for an offspinner.
Which leaves Younis Khan as the only viable option as captain. But Younis Khan is banned for life, pending appeal, due to destablising the team, while not even being in the team.
Which leaves Mohammad Yousuf as the only viable option. Only Mohammad Yousuf is retired, and banned for life, and can not be picked unless Salman Butt is consulted over his selection.
But Salman Butt is going to resign in disgust.
Which means Mohammad Yousuf is captain, because even though he is retired, and banned for life, he is the only man for the job.
Mohammad Yousuf is also match fit, and has been practicing.
The only problem is the last time Mohammad Yousuf said he was match fit, and had been practicing, he wasn't, and chose not to play, due to not being match fit, and not having been practicing.
Which still leaves Mohammad Yousuf as the only man for the job, even though he is retired, and banned for life.
But first we have to work out if it is The Judean People's Front, or The People's Front of Judea.
