Afterthoughts on Pakistan’s Test Series Victory Whitewash
1992, 2009 & now 2012
I have always been a follower of Pakistan cricket – perhaps every Pakistani is. Sitting here this week in the Dubai Cricket Stadium watching the Pakistan cricket team yet again triumph and secure what many have described as a monumental victory over the world’s leading Test nation was almost unbelievable. Even more awe-inspiring for most has been the radical transformation of a cricket team on the brink of imploding not too long ago, however we’ll come to that a little later as to the actual point of this piece. First, however, as an ardent cricket fan, I owe it to myself and to the Pakistan cricket team to say a few words following their magnificent victory over England.
