Given below is a report in jumbled form marked P, Q, R, S. Arrange the jumbled parts between A and B to make it sensibly readable.

A: Gone are the days when India-Pakistan encounters went down to the wire. Gone are the days when the two sides/ought tooth and nail for a win. Gone are the days when two behemoths collided and the sparks brought the entire world to a standstill.

P: The people of Pakistan love cricket. How can they not? They don't have anything else to make them feel better about their lives, in a country where basic human necessities such water and food has become luxuries. People in Pakistan eat, breathe and sleep cricket - often it is the only thing they have to look forward to. Take that away from them and they lose more than just a sport.

Q: The scary thing is, India did not play to their full potential; they dropped catches, they were sloppy in the field, they did't even bat that well for most of their innings, but they were still miles ahead of Pakistan.

R: Pakistan lost to India in Champion Trophy encounter on Sunday, the 4th June. Humans grow in the face of losses. They forget and they forgive. But fans of Pakistan cricket are destined to perennial discontent. Not because they have unjustified expectations of something extravagant whenever the team walks out onto the pitch, but because they expect. Expectations hurt. And fans of Pakistan cricket have come to realise that expecting this group of "elite athletes" to even get the basics right can be painful business. Failure, like defeat, is forgivable; but a refusal to learn from that failure is not.

S: Pakistan on Sunday took that away from them. Some might even say that they did not even play cricket against India in Birmingham, let alone good cricket. It was something else; a selfish show of incompetence maybe, or perhaps a demonstration of a divided whole.

B: Pakistan lost on 4th June the Sunday and they have lost many times before. The nation has always forgiven, even if it has not forgotten, but that should not be the case this time around. For, they are slowly taking cricket away from Pakistan, and by doing so they are depriving a troubled nation of more than just a game.
