AAAAAAWWWEEEEEESSSSSOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Awesome!! AweSOmE!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Wahab Riaz showed nerve, muscle n brain when needed.
Yo! we've got a human on the team!!!

Today’s match was amaaazing! My FAV player made Man of the match!!!!

Ok highlights… highlightssss!!
A good start: Amla out quick, Kallis too

Smith being the rude slab-of-fat that he is: knocks Wahab sharply n yells later for him to getoutta the way (humph!)

Shoaib Akhtar in his character: Points to his head at Smith who winks back

Wahab Riaz shows some true Pakistani-fast bowler-essence: on a hatrick!!!

Superb Pakistani crowd: Not the English green Willie Wonkas we see, but satisfactorily just as noisy :D

Professor’s joy: M. Hafeez jumps with his always-whitened face

Runs leaked at the end by us…

***

Damaad jee: (thankfully) out quick

Younus Khan goes big: Laalaa plays slow but steady… loyal fans are happy :)))

Hey Nice shots!: by Hafeez, the new guy Asad wasn‘t bad either

S.A. start fielding like us: woohooo :DDDD we must be infective ;D

Fawad Alam: Cheecho Meecho caught out today :P

Boom Boom: Showed up with some brain today… some

Bang Bang: Abdul Razzak… naa wasn’t his day

Death time: Wahab Riaz showing some much needed muscle. He’s making all the difference in this series, really. Doesn’t get nervy and doesn’t look emaciated like most of our recent payers do. Gets dropped by Smith (ahhh bliss :D couldn’t have wished for someone else) Gets run out though! (You just know by this time that our team our going to take it to the LAST ball with the LAST player) Zulkarnain ( Thank GOD! No Grouper-Akmal! Credit to a timely inflaming of his appendix!) silences his critics by showing sense and sensibility till the very end. Knew he had the shots, he just needed some confidence.

Captain’s clamour: Busy biting his shirt though thankfully not nails this time. Seemed alive contrary to his usual coma state at the death overs. Who knows, he might be a crickinfo follower.

Ahh a sajda, a scream and some comic punches by Zulkarnain Haider… Grrreeeaaaaat way to end it all!!!

Us at home: clapping, screaming at the start, mid n end of every ball. After the Razzak match, our neighbours must be used to it by now :DD

So Pakistan Cricket is finally alive! No revolting fixers, no annoying groupers means yes I’m watching matches now. Wahab Riaz has officially entered my fav player list as of today. A comeback by Younus Khan's solidified our batting a bit. With all that we’ve done to this world cup winning champ of ours, I can’t think of anyone else deserving a man-of-the-match award. I’ve noticed though, there’s still some coldness between him and the other players. Lets hope it evaporates soon.  

It just goes to show that it’s loyalty and not talent that really matters. We didn’t have the Akmals, we didn’t have Amir. On the basis of talent, we shouldn’t have won. We couldn’t have won. But it was loyalty- loyalty of the lesser talented like M. Hafeez, Zulkarnain H, Asad S. that won us this match. Afridi should realize that. He often talks about match winners makin all the difference. But it’s not so. We don’t need talented groupers. We need loyalists. LoYaliSts.

So here’s to our team loyalists.

May they get all the breaks that they need (so we won’t have to see another grouper’s face ever again), May they earn us wins (so Salman Butt can zip it), And may they always always remain appendicitis free!
