Congrats Team India
by Zulfikar Aman on Sep 26, 2007 08:12 AM

Congratulations to team India for winning the T20 world cup.Though my country lost the match so narrowly,I do not feel there is a loss of pride.Both teams played out of their skins and what was on display was heart...both teams fighting tooth and nail till the last ball,last run,last wicket..There is no shame in losing a game in this way,even if it is a final of the world cup to Pakistan's biggest rival!! What matters is both teams played excellent and India played better.The Indian youngsters showed they have nerves of steel when it mattered and have a big heart and a huge appetite for a fight. The game threw up unexpected stars for both sides which is a postive for the future and rests the case of Shoaib Akhtar,youhana among others.There has been talk of this tournament being fixed and the final fixed. Please dont discredit the players and the wonderful match.India won plain and simple.They fought hard,ran hard,scored hard and fielded hard...they had the extra strength to come out on top at the finish line..that is what champions are made of. Pakistan has no reason to be upset, no one game them a chance at the start of the tournament with the Shoaib episode,no real stars and a weak bowling.They showed what they can do. As did India. So all in all a great game. Congrats India-T20 World cup champs and congrats Pakistan-for bringing back our belief into the game and into our team.

Humble Pakistani
ps.I do not agree with Mr.Shoaib Malik's comments on apologising to muslims.
