The English Men’s Cricket Team was decimated by injuries to several players and a Covid-19 outbreak that caused numerous players and staff members to test positive for the virus. The decimation inflicted on England, however, was nothing compared with the demolition that the newly-constructed English squad inflicted on Pakistan’s national team on Thursday (July 8, 2021). Personally, I felt highly disappointed about the result. Others in Pakistan felt the same way. For instance, a Pakistani Coach mentioned he felt “disappointed”. He also noted that the Pakistani public only want the team to win. Hence, it’s not surprising that many on social media more zealously expressed frustration and humiliation, and suggested that the “pathetic performance… [was a] big wake up call”.
