Posted by ** Theena** on (June 21 2009, 03:47 AM GMT) Hear hear! Lovely article, Mr Bal. My sentiments exactly. As a Sri Lankan, I hope the guys can lift their game to bring the trophy home but - and I think this holds true for fans from both countries - we won’t begrudge a Pakistani victory nor will Pakistani fans begrudge us a victory. In many ways, the Pakistani cricket team are our cricketing cousins: our individual approaches to the game are philosophically closer than to the rest of the cricketing world. But like you said, the cricket itself pales in comparison to what the two countries have gone through in past few years and months. The cricket gods have given us a match that will transcend the game. I, for one, can’t wait. Good luck to both teams.
