As I’m writing this the World Twenty 20 Series final is being held in South Africa (Twenty 20 Cricket, that is) with India vs Pakistan.
While both teams have played excellent games, including a nail-biter, tied game (India won on the bowl-off) that they played against each other earlier in the tournament, I’m rooting for India. Yuvraj Singh, in particular, has been absolutely devastating in his batting, including a remarkable Six 6’s (36 runs) in one over against England. (See video)
The rivalry between India and Pakistan has always been particularly keen, and this promises to be a heated match.
In the old days, when Pakistan won a cricket match against India, the players were showered with money and adulation. When they lost, their homes were burned down. Hopefully that’s no longer the case…
