Faith Restored

 

"The man of the hour" Abdul Razzaq saved Pakistan from utter embarrassment and leveled out the t20 series [of 2 matches]with England. He hit a miraculous and extraordinary 48 runs off of 18 balls [equal to 3 overs]. How did he do it? Well hitting 5 sixes really helps make that kind of score! With all the chaos surrounding the PCB [Pakistan Cricket Board] and the Pakistani team's failure in Australia [11 straight loses and no wins]; this win was heaven sent. Although, One may wonder what's in store for Pakistani cricket. With rumors that the national coach will be sacked, the captains will be replaced, and the recent axing of the vice captain from the series against England, one can just pray for the best.With the world cup coming up and the current form of the team, it just makes a die-hard Pakistan fan turn into a nervous wreck. I Hope we can clear all the problems out before the world cup and concentrate on another victorious campaign. But I will have to say that Younus Khan will be missed. His leadership and presence in the team always gave the fans a sense of relief. But no worries, Afridi is an excellent captain and should be able to run a very successful campaign.
