STAYING ALIVE: England & Nepal, Pakistan & The ICC + Pete & A Cooker Pub

Pete and Gideon watch Pakistan destroy Australia then the T20 World Cup, plunging cricket into crisis by forfeiting their huge match against India on 15 February.  Does this portend an irrevocable split in world cricket?  Or was it maybe always coming?  Pat Cummins won't be there either.  Why is he advertising it?  Couldn't they get Steve Smith?  Oh wait.....  Plus Harry Brook and his state of leatheredness: is the cover-up always worse than the offence?

WORLD DESTRUCTION: Pakistan Trouble Australia & The World Cup

Pete and Gideon stave off sleep during the Big Bash League final, pay tribute to the Perth Scorchers, and wonder what form BBL16 will take, even as the private capital future takes further shape in Europe.  Plus, what's the deal with Bangladesh at the T20 World Cup? Could the contagion spread to Pakistan?  And what day is it again?
