Like every Pakistani cricket fan I have been traumatized by this recent humiliation. Hats off to the Irish for such a phenomenal show, but what about Goliath ( Pakistan)? David (Irish) bought them down with one stone after another till they were completly vanquished. Defeat at the hands of minnows of cricket have shattered number of myths about our goliaths, listed are some that come to this very foggy, traumatized mind:
- Team was united, disciplined and a winning combination under Inzimam.
- Increased Religion had raised the teams moral and professional standards
- Pakistan middle order batting lineup is the best
- Kamran Akmal will regain his flash in the pan form.
- We did not need specialist openers
- Sami did not deserve to be selected
- Cricket minnows do not deserve to be in the Worldcup
- Match fixing is over
First round exit and that too at the hands of non-test playing country deserves some serious backlash. What is most important is for the nation to say “Never again”.
