Pictorial Summary : Pakistan showed their true colours against Australia

e

Wow the unbeatable Australia are beaten by Green boys! What a  treat for the nation and after this fantastic win Pakistan is at the top level of Group "A" in the Point table. After this incredible match i think it would not be right if we won't pay a Tribute to our Heroes and i also have a pictorial match summary to my friends to see.

Before the starting of yesterday's match i was not expecting by the way no body was expecting a game like that but Pakistan has once again proved to be the most unpredictable team. Aussies are no more unbeatable after this encounter. The green boys once again showed their strength and proved that they could be very dangerous and can face any team when they play as a team to win. It was no doubt a great match and very well played in all departments by Pakistan.

Let us have a look on the history, The kangaroos were unbeatable in World cups since 1999. They were also been beaten by Pakistan at the venue of Leads on March 23,1999 and after that they remains unbeatable since the day when the history repeats it self at Colombo on March 18, 2011 and isn't it a magnificent thing to say that, Yes Pakistan halts Australia with 4 wicket win, takes top spot! Experts all around the world was whispering that Pakistan will be the 35th unfortunate team whom Australia will hit hard but our boys proved  their strength of unity and they must never forget that unity is their power and if they always be united no body can snatch victory from their hands.

Super moments of the match















Now when the knock out round starts Pakistan need to be very careful because all the teams are playing to win and every one is going to be very hard so we don't want Afridi to make any silly mistakes next time (i am talking about the unnecessary silly shot when he caught out when asked about the dismissal, Afridi sheepishly said, "Don't ask, Don't ask That was an irresponsible shot as a captain at a stage like that.") I wish my Team Pakistan the very best of luck for the future matches. Waiting to receive you with the World cup. :-) have a look at the street celebration I captured just after the winning moments.

Pakistan cricket in big trouble



"PCB in its first ever major crackdown against players
power and in a firm move to enforce discipline imposing life ban"

Pakistan Cricket Board has imposed ban for life on Younis Khan and Mohammad Yousuf Wednesday. Heavy fines have been decided some other cricketers including Shahid Afridi, Shaoib Malik, Rana Naveed-ul Hasan, Kamran Akmal and Umar Akmal.

Rs 3 million fine is for Shahid Afridi and Kamran Akmal and Rs 2 million fine is for Rana Naveed, Shoaib Malik and Umar Akmal. The PCB inquiry committee was given recommendations to take stren action against the players. Read full story

You can't hand out such severe punishments to players of the caliber of Yousuf and Younus Khan," Former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq criticised the board for the speed of its response.

Former Pakistan test captain Ramiz Raja said the national team needed certain direction on discipline, but felt barring players from international competition was extreme. Our main problem was discipline, but barring players, I am not sure, it doesn't look nice to just end the international careers of such talented players."

This is the first time in Pakistan cricket history that the Board has taken such strong disciplinary action against so many players at one time. Why was action not taken earlier against these players? why did the board keep quiet for so long when the team was on tour? I think the PCB should have fined both Yousuf and Younis like they did to the others and set an example for other players, but banning them is a bit harsh to me.
