Wisden CricInfo staff15-Jun-2003Rashid Latif today called on Pakistan supporters to behave themselves during the NatWest Challenge against England, starting at Old Trafford on Tuesday.Crowd trouble marred the NatWest Series with England and Australia twoyears ago, and fears of a repeat were heightened yesterday when hundreds offans jumped the fences and dodged stewards to reach the square following Pakistan’s five-wicket win over Leicestershire at Grace Road.Latif said: “This is very bad for cricket, I think, especially in Pakistan and England with the Pakistani crowd. They love us and follow Pakistan cricket all over the world, but it is not good for the cricket and I do not support that kind of thing.””I respect the crowd and not all the crowd were bad, but a few guys got onthe pitch and this is no good for the safety of the players and it effects thecricket.””The situation in Pakistan is bad all the time, but now the whole world willbe watching the television and it would not be good to happen here.”
