MULTAN: Pakistani cricket fans in Multan held a mock funeral for their national cricket team on Saturday after a record-shattering World Cup defeat at the hands of the West Indies. <br /> <br />Residents of the city organised a symbolic funeral procession, replete with a coffin with several cricket bats placed over it, directing their anger at the national team after a poor start to the tournament that has also seen it defeated by arch-rivals India. <br /> <br />"This time we were really hoping for Pakistan to win," Shama Bibi, one of those taking part, told AFP. <br /> <br />"We don't want to watch this anymore." <br /> <br />Another demonstrator who gave her name only as Rafia blamed the Pakistan Cricket Board for what she said were poor selections and politicisation of the game. <br /> <br />Cricket fans elsewhere in the country, meanwhile, staged their own protests to show their frustration with the national side. <br /> <br />Chasing the West Indies's first innings total of 310 runs, Pakistan gave up its first four wickets for just one run -- the worst start in one-day international history -- before eventually losing by 150 runs
