Yet another blame game and the 'foreigner' fixation

PCB officials have accused local curators of preparing 'lifeless' pitches.

"Naghmi said that the Board's top officials are
convinced that local curators are not competent enough to prepare the bouncy
wickets.
The Board is now planning to get 'foreign help' to prepare lively
tracks for the next season."



What makes us seek 'external solutions' when the fault lies with ourselves.

No matter how good a local curator, cricket administrators undermine them.It is a well known fact that in the subcontinent the 'liveliness' of the pitch is decided by the home team and the curators merely do their bidding.

So why blame the curators?
