After coming back from Australian tour, Intikhab Alam said in an interview, "Australia played better than us and won. They are the best side in the world". But then he went on to say in the same interview, "This was almost the same (Aussie) side that lost the Test series in India, was defeated at home by South Africa and surrendered the Ashes in England". Can he explain the contradiction? I hope he does not think that mere acceptance of defeat would mean his job is done. He must also resign from his post. The PCB is reported to be thinking of dropping the post of the team coach. That's a good time Intikhab should think of saying good-bye. -MUBASHIR MAHMOOD, Karachi, February 10
