PTV shows football clips during a cricket match break. Your thoughts on this?

The channel is called PTV Sports,not PTV cricket.

Cricket is still very much the primary sport in Pakistan.

Catering to the 0.01% who care about football, nothing more.

Test cricket is still the real deal.

Does not seem like that in Pakistan. Whenever there be a sporting event in Pakistan, football comes first.

As evidenced by the sea of prestigious footballers Pakistan has produced, and the numerous successful football clubs operating in Pakistan?

That is because we are an unorganized nation. You'd see more footballs in streets than bats these days.

They are just hurting due to the results. Pakistan is a cricket mad nation. No sport comes close (ditto India, Lanka or Bangladesh). It is hard to accept you bite when you hype your players to the moon.
