The Pakistan cricket authorities have apologised to the Indian team for issuing tickets with the Tricolour printed upside-down. At the lobby in the team hotel, another giant Indian flag that was put up, was also upside down.
It was Sachin Tendulkar who had pointed out the goof-up to the management, which then sent a letter to the Pakistan Cricket Board pointing out the goof-up. The Pakistan board has sought an explanation from the company responsible for the printing of the tickets.
Well well...now let's walk back a little:
This January, the Indian Flag was displayed upside down and without Ashok Chakra during the full dress rehearsal in Udhampur on the eve of the Republic Day, which was removed immediately after somone pointed it out.
During April 2005, when Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf landed in India, the Indian flag on the special Pakistan International Airlines plane was also displayed upside down.
Indeed, some vexillography required!!
