No Hara kiri or sepukku would be if Bashar was so ashamed of his actions that he took his own life. In modern cricketing term, that would equate to resignation and retirement from captaincy and test criket respectively.
I am a fan of H.B. And like most common observers and BD fans, would like him to eschew this shot which most of the opponents SUCCESSFULLY tempt him into. I wish he could bat a little more responsibly so when he tells the younger batsmen to do so, they don't laugh their behinds off at Bashar's obvious lack of credibility. Darn it, do we really have to hand over the captaincy to Pilot again?
