Glimpse of a silver shine

Everyone knew about it, in fact I can bet the whole of Pakistan must be in front of their television sets today on the 24th of September. Yes it was the ideal 20/20 World Cup Final, and yes it was against the two extreme rivals of the world, Pakistan and India.

Who doesn’t know about the history of Pak Vs Ind war matches?.. just the thought of it brings chills and a vigorous energy not only in the blood of both the teams but also in the whole nation. And the icing on the cake was that it was the FINAL !!!…..

If the final was against Australia, then the pressure wouldn’t have been to the highest extent.If we would have lost against them, it would have been just another tournament final which we lost against the world’s best team for the past fucking decade. But being against India becomes a matter of ones reputation. Considering our nature, coming into the final was not important as compared to beating India.

All the players are ready, everyone is glued to the T.V screens, the roads are barren, people have booked tables at eat out spots and to open their fast.I am sure from the moment of the toss everyone knows what all happened! and to my liking Pakistan played like true winners in the first half by restricting the Indians to the total of 157 runs. But once again our batting line up seemed to fail from the beginning, but NO this was not a game anymore, it was war! so we played like true sportsmen and gave them a tough time.

At the end of the match although we lost by 5 runs, it showed that we were fighting for it! we were striving like true tigers! but there has to be a winner and unfortunately we lost but on the other hand we gained an extremely talented and potential player “Misbah-ul-Haq”. I think in my eyes he was supposed to be the man of the series as he almost single handedly guided us to the finals.

At the end of the day, the match was very interesting, I to begin with, was pretty much satisfied with our 20 over performance(which I think is a very short span to actually judge a team) but non the less, we fought till the end.

But like a true Pakistani, it would be highly unappropiate if i didn’t blame anyone. So I think Younus Khan’s performance was shitty! I mean giving away a maiden over and that also to such a bowler who was thrashed in his previous over for 26 runs. I mean what the fuck ?!?! Was he thinking that he was playing a test match or something? if only he would have made 5 runs in those 6 balls the world cup could have been ours to rub in India’s face!…20/20 is supposed to be a youngsters gameplay and they should have let him sit back in this tournament! And to all your Afridi Fan’s out there I am sorry to say but, he is a true pathan, i am sure if we are to open up his skull we wouldn’t find anything. I mean dude, play some sensible shots, you are a bloody senior player of the team now!

Ahh that felt good !! … now i can say that i am a true pakistani !!
