It didn’t took Pakistan long to win the hearts of the emotional Pakistani cricket loving nation after the worst knock out from the World Cup cricket 2007 in the first round. Pakistan played Srilanka today in the Sheikh Zaid Stadium - Abu Dhabi in the first match of the Abu Dhabi ODI series 2007.

I am not going to comment over the match as i seriously was not willing to watch and neither did i spare time for it, but while channel surfing i came through the odds when the conditions were not favorable and it was the time when Pakistan was in crisis with Afridi just in there to bat, and damn how could i miss his batting!. Just as he started, he ended up with 73 from 34 Balls including a 32 runs smashing hitting in a single over. This was a good heal for the bruised Pakistani Cricket Nation. Thanks Afridi
