Most Pakistanis can choose to live in delusion if they want to, won't change the fact that PCB's actions have made Pakistan a laughing stock in the cricketing world. Also, their actions are reflecting badly on the team who have not looked convincing at all in this tournament and don't need the added pressure of this drama.
PCB showed themselves to be incompetent and reactionary in the way they handled this situation. India baited them and they fell in hook, line and sinker. Had they shown some restraint they could have come out of the situation quite well. But they reacted exactly as India expected them to react.
