Would someone please explain this brilliant plan

We get a spate of bad decisions go against us in Australia. To prove a point we decide to forget about home umpires, and play 2 'neutrals'. So what happens. We replace a home umpire with an umpire who lives in the same country as the opposition. He proceeds to give a match winning performance for the country he lives in.

Can anyone explain what this achieved?

PCB wanted to give England the home advantage by appointing a home umpire for them.

I dont blame high bp for pakistanis as a result...
and we deserved it as we pakistanis try to be all good and act noble and pious with the neutral umpires nonsense. Why cant our cricket board instead stand up for ourselves and complain to rubbish blatant biased/incompetent umpiring? Why cant they stand up and be counted in the iCC? why do they never stick up for themselves and there team significantly like they should at the ICC? Instead they take easy options. DIsgrace they are if u ask me.
