The more you press Pakistanis down, the more they will rise. Pakistanis are the most resilient nation on the face of planet. You name the crisis and it will be present in its extreme in the Pakistan, but even then Pakistanis progressing and the morale of the Pakistanis is as high and bubbly as ever, and Pakistan’s recent wins in the Cricket matches is just one manifestation of it. Wins and losses are part of the game, but these particular wins give a taste of what Pakistanis can do even when they are written off by the world. Pakistan has been isolated in the Cricket. Now after this T20 world cup there is no cricket for the Pakistan for the next six month, and that is extremely unfair from the ICC.
One has to look at yesterday’s match and then ask ICC tough questions. Look at what
Afridi did yesterday. That was a
Shahid Afridi special, which saw the dashing batsman smash seven huge sixes, including three off Bangladesh’s best bowler Shakib Al Hasan at a time when the visitors had an asking rate of over ten, left the tigers in agony yet again. Pakistan deserves better, and one hopes that the ICC realized that. Afridi has also come out with a bang and he has washed away all his bad performances and disappointments of the past years and after winning the match from India and Bangladesh, he has entered his name permanently in the hearts of the Pakistanis, and that will go a long way and will be remembered always.
