Daylight Robbery

There is no other way to explain this. Pakistan seemingly had it in their grasp for 39 overs. Mike Hussey – not even at gun point – stole the whole darn thing from right under the nose of Pakistan. Personally, I was rooting for Pakistan for 2 reasons: 1) Let’s keep the cup in Asia 2) God, I hate the Aussies.

I feel for the Pakistani fans. They probably are the worst feeling lot, right about now. Cheer up fellas. You did a lot better than your much fancied neighbors. Pakistan team made itself and its people proud by this effort, despite the dysfunction that’s the Pakistan Cricket Board. Hold your chin up!

P.S. I had a whole blog post laid out about the exploits of this Pakistan team, but may have to alter it a bit 🙂

Giddy up a second time

Remember one of my earlier posts (about Jayasuriya’s cricketing circle of life) was published on Akash Chopra’s website, http://www.cricketaakash.com ? Well, a second post of mine “Captain Crucifixion” was published as well there. Go to this link and click on my photograph there to read it. Leave comments if you can, about the post and its content, writing style or just say Hi.

Thanks guys and gals!
