Controversy has followed the Pakistan cricket team in recent years including the sudden death of its coach, terrorist attacks that have seen other cricketing nations refuse to play there, incidents of ball tampering, a forfeited Test match and players being banned for taking performance enhancing drugs. In the background there have been constant rumours of match-fixing and corruption
Our heroes, who are homogeneously armed with irrefutably and certitude of donating away unequivocal and absolute wins against tough teams, did it again in first ODI in Brisbane. The first ODI was played on 22nd January 2010 in Brisbane and was won by Australia as they chased Pakistani target of 274 in 48.3 overs for the loss of five wickets. Cameron White's amazing match winning batting and his crucial drop catch by Salman Butt at a critical juncture in the match decided that with such poor fielding Pakistan are not going to be winners today. It was the second highest chase in this ground. Even the brilliant innings by Shahid Afridi was of no use. After the shameful defeat in Sydney test, it was hoped that team management will come up with some sound plan, but all hopes kissed dust. What we learn from history is that we do not learn from history at all.
Still being a cricket fan my hopes are high fingers crossed can't wait to watch the first one from the green team, excitement is growing day by day with the tension...
