a ball biting match

Team Pakistan had to go through two humiliating incidents. one was the loss of a match that was the last one in the 5-0 whitewash by the Australians. the other one was when Shahid Afridi was caught biting a ball, was called for ball tempering and was barred from participating in two twenty20 matches.

when two teams collide, one of them wins and the other loses. so whether the team won or lost did not matter much. that it showed a fighting spirit and took the match to the final over was something enjoyable. and even though the team lost, it should be given full points for it. and one rare thing happened with that. someone actually took the blame for it. the Chief Selector of the team resigned.

usually when a match gets interesting, it becomes nail biting. but Ball biting shows the kind of anxiety. it was against the spirit of the game. and banning Afridi for two twenty20 games was the right decision taken by the match referee.

Now this was cricket

Pakistan has finally won the second edition of the T20 international cricket tournament. Pakistan has won a major tournament after such along time. and the victory can not be any sweeter.

basically no one lost the game. both the sides played well but in the end the better one took the Cup home. and the better one just turned out to be Pakistan.

so Congrats to the Pakistani people and to the Pakistani team.

and as Borat would add at this moment : “GREAT SUCCESS”

oh and lets not forget the man who made it all possible: SHAHID AFRIDI
