A Billion Indians supported and prayed for Pakistan tonight,,,though the prayers went unheard,,,atleast Cricket brought us closer for a day atleast!
I am sure that every Indian watching the Pakistan v/s Australia match had his heart impounded each time the ball hit an australian's bat during the death overs. The way Pakistan played till the last ball was truly touching and inspiring, Hats off to Younus and his team for putting such a fighting effort for a match that hardly mattered to them as they had already made it to the semis. Infact, I almost fell on my feet when Asif bowled that edge of a seat ball and picked up white's wicket. Thats when the ray of rope started reeling in once again coz Australia was pretty much in the driver's seat till that moment. And then those two continuous maiden overs by Rana Naved! Pakistan didnt let Punter's wolves breathe for even a second till the last ball was bowled. A Great game but at the end of which, all I was left with is utter disappointment for the Indian Cricket team.
Though there arouse a special respect for the Pakistani team for putting up that effort just for the sake of winning! A respect that must have conquered a lot of INDIAN hearts tonight. Pakistan did us hope, though shattered, but this day shall remembered as the day that brought the people of the two countries closer.Atleast A billion Indians as I said earlier had pinned their hopes on Pakistan, which in itself is an achievement!
