Afridi inspires emphatic win](http://uk.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/CRICKET_NEWS/2004/SEP/047005_ICCCT2004_15SEP2004.html)
Pakistan 95 for 3 (Hameed 41, Farhat 38*) beat Kenya 94 (Afridi 5-11, Malik 3-15) by seven wickets
With a ruthless disposition towards little birds, big bad Pakistan swatted Kenya out of the Champions Trophy and sent a clear signal to India. The first hour brought a listless performance from Pakistan, but when Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik took over, the mood of the game changed considerably. Every ball was released with the intent to make the Kenyans look silly. Mission accomplished, Yasir Hameed and Imran Farhat then set about making Kenya look out of place too. It was riveting violence, and the target of 95 was reached with a disdain not matched even by Australia the other day.
Pakistan went past with ease, stumbling only when Hameed, Malik and Afridi departed in quick sucession, leaving them at 81 for 3. Was there any chance of an upset? Not really. The day was Pakistan’s, and after shell-shocking Kenya earlier, they weren’t letting go now. Till the 20th over, when rain interrupted a dour display by the batsmen, Kenya had done well to reach the sixties with only one wicket lost. Kennedy Otieno (33) and Maurice Ouma (23) had looked uneasy, but clung on. They wafted unconvincingly, but saw off the faster bowlers, and kept wickets intact for later on. But there was no later on.
Afridi and Malik played on the batsmen’s minds and their techniques, undoing them with a mixture of floaters and faster ones, and, hindered by a skiddy pitch, Kenya had no answer once Otieno and Ouma were gone. Afridi ended with 5 for 11, and Malik had 3 for 15. The batsmen played like men who haven’t had enough cricket. They played for turn when it wasn’t there, shouldered arms when it was, and, in the instance of Malhar Patel, left a delivery that slammed into his stumps, leaving him and several others bewildered. The delivery, from Afridi, was faster than Shaun Pollock’s average speed.
If the first hour proved that Pakistan could be average, the second hour was evidence that they could be brilliant in an instant. Kenya were simply mugged.
Hameed and Farhat then showed they were fluent enough to worry India. Their clean blows left Kenya reeling, and the drives, cuts and lofts were an indication of their good form, although the running was typically hair-raising. But really, the match was effectively over once Afridi had his five-wicket haul, even if Kenya later picked up some consolation scalps.
We don’t know if Kenya were outclassed, for they’ve certainly played better. But the frightening thing is, we don’t know if Pakistan were on top of their game, because they could always get even better.

Elahi.. how come ur post completed without Younis in it :) j/k
Kenya reached to the Semis because of walk throughs that they got. Having said they beat India and that they were in good swing. But due to some injuries they are not playing with full squad. Moreover, I am confident that with our bowling, specially the seamers, we can knock them down easily (if not cheaply). But Pakistan has to go into the ground with very positive game in their mind to achieve two things.
3+ RR
confidence
This confidence and current harmony in the team is very essential in rebuilding process. I am not just focusing on ICCT, but looking in a broader picture. Our main goal is to polish these youngster and to bring more young players that under the dust right now. Since these guys are gonig to replace Inzi, Moin and Yoyo soon. As we see that in Shoaib's presence Sami always try to deliver 110%, thats the advantage to being with a senior/partner/competitor. To learn with own mistake and to be ambitious about being the best in the available lot. If you see Sami's spirit you will find him upbeat even when he is out of form or badly beaten. This is a positive mind set. Which Pakistan team needs. Moin used to be like that, Malik too doesn't lose the heart till the end. If we keep the current spirit then blending the new comers into the current team will have a great impact on their professional approach towards game. Look at the result of last two ODIs that Pakistan played. Albeit they lost the matches but the team spirit and confidence is what we have further strengthened.
This spirit and flare will make us consistant in our performances and we will see professionalism in our young cricketers. Like Aussies. We will be inshallah one of the best teams in the world once again.
Call me optimistic or whatever, but the long term gain is what we should be looking in our rebuilding process.
