…..PAkistAn won the 3 test series against England in Dubai…. giving them a total white-wash (as people call it)
The spectacle of winning was overwhelmed by the celebrations that kicked off afterwards in the country… People started screaming and dancing on the streets, the media went bonkers showing interviews of every cricketer’s family and the festivities that were taking place in their homes…
What a wonderful win it truly was…. A win to remember for ages… Beating the #1 team in the world in three consecutive matches is by no means an easy task and the our boys did it so seamlessly…. The amazing spins of Ajmal and A.Rehman freaked the shit out of the English batsmen and the gora boys crumbled like dominoes in every inning they played…
As a different perspective to life in Pakistan… i am now starting to see the changing mindset of my people… They’re more aware of their importance in the world now… Despite what the world says and western media projects about us… we have continued to prove everyone wrong at every front …. and it this very spirit that rejects the petty differences and makes us stand united … and stronger!
To play against the best team in the world with the most in-experiences set of players and those too who are afraid to play as the world is stalking and waiting to point fingers of match fixing allegations at them… was indeed no easy task…. But then… when you have nothing to lose you give your 200% and don’t care about the results… You take risks, decisions and work hard on your way upwards… and if your intention is right it always ends up in a positive result… even if you lose….
That was the lesson of the day for me….and as i reach the threshold of the twistale of my life… i’m hoping to do the same!
