Sanjay being indian was trying to make it look like this win was only because of few individuals ,** but Ian covered every aspect and person and told him this win was a result of Team efforts **

@Esix

**what i interpreted from his talks was

that pakistan only has a couple’a good players** (shahid afridi and umar gul) and on their lucky day pakistan got lucky and beat “better teams” (SA and SL)

@GoldenAsif

Correct

I think Sanjay’s smarting from the fact that Pakistan have beaten the world at T20 despite playing next to no cricket recently - mind you Pakistan has played very little international cricket since the last T20 WC in South Africa - and despite being considered rank outsiders at the start of the tournament.

**Ian Chappell corrected him by saying that Pakistan is a good allround team **with others such as Akmal, Misbah, Malik, Razzaq, Ajmal, young Aamer etc. contributing to the team’s success as well. Ian also admired the fact that ‘Pakistan seems to be the only country that does not shy away from giving raw talent a chance at a very young age’ - case in point: Ahmed Shahzad (17), Shahzaib (19) and Aamer (17). Where-else would you find a 17 year old opening the bowling attack for their country at international level!!

We all have same conclusion?
