I promise you, you will kick yourself when you see the answer, if you don't get it. Ready? OK, you're lost and alone in the middle of a forest. All you have with you is a barely working mobile phone AND a soggy matchbox with a couple of broken matches left. You have no food, no shelter and no hope of rescue. Who do you call? .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Answer: The Pakistan cricket team. They fix matches!
