“Big man big game, Its a leg bye who cares” Who can forget that awesome words of David LLoyd. Afridi was standing with his bat. What a wonderful memories. Great come back by the cornered tigers.

Winning T20 was perhaps a reminder of the 1992 fabulous stride into the hall of distinction by a team that rises to conquer only when the chips are down. The inaugural version of the game was lost by the selection of a faulty stroke by a batsman who dished out things but failed to eat them. Younis Khan, was a shade closer to the mighty IMRAN that day for he held the flocks together, goaded them into cohesion and arrested the belligerence of the traditional Pak on field behaviour. Md. Amir, again left a trace of his ability to turn things around by producing splendid exhibition of fast bowling. The inform Dilshan falling prey to an intelligently bowled delivery and that was the indeed the emergence of a hope that Pakistan can really pull that off. What an innnigs played by Shahid Afridi. It was a complete departure from his normal flair, blending defence with aggression, exhibiting an approach that he never had. It was his mature application, the selection of the right deliveries, the high sense of responsibility, the desire to do something great for his country, all mingled well to produce an innings of character from somebody for whom patience has been a sin. Hats off to all the eleven involved in crafting the destiny of a nation tormented massively by violence and catastrophes. Finally they had a moment of salvation and something to cheer at.

i was in my relatives’ home that day… and i waited desperately all day long for that match… and even offered extra naffil namaz for the succes of the team….. i shouted and hugged people around and clapped loudly at the fall of every sri lankan wicket…. i knew we had a stronger bowling attack… when we were batting i got a bit tense.. and watched very silently while lying down on the floor… my heartbeat increasing at every dot ball, and kept praying for the win whole time…. and that afridi six to that left arm bowler during the 18th over i guess was my favorite moment, it released the pressure from all of us pakistani fans and the team as well, that made victory easy for us! i just stuck myself to the tv screen during the whole match… did not even drink a single sip of water that i usually do while watching test mathes….!!!!! my heartiest congratulations to the whole of pakistan team… u have made us proud of our identity and have given us a gift during these difficult times..!!! keep on playing with the same spirit! i salute u all!

The sleeping tiger crawling to the Super Eights, Showing South Africa (which by the way was the favourites for the World Cup) the way to the pavilion and perhaps further back to Joburg and the exciting Final that tempted me so much that I managed to make my way to the UK, got there in time, Bought my ticket on Ebay and BAng! It was just falling perfectly and the cherry on the cake the fantastic balling which convinced us that we are to be taken seriously, we are here for the game, we have our country’s support and with the right frame of mind Believing We are the CHAMPIONS!!
I was holding a Piece “I bought my ticket from an INDIAN” and joined the crowd on main edgware Road that completely blocked by cheering Pakistani and Arab (surprising but interesting sight) Free Baklawa all over the place, people shouting from the top of their throats…what a magnificent atmosphere…What a breath taking moment!!

Thx to almighty i was able witness this moment agin in my life even though i am thousand of miles away … this time i watched with my 3 youner brother … mood was different to 1992 but feeling was same from inside … once again the first over from youn Ammer was unforgetble especially the delivery that took wicket of dilshan (same as Iqab bowled of greatbatch 1992)… then Razzak (then who free Afridi soul)….. batting was tense but will never forget AKMAL beautiful cover drive 4 to mathew (similar to Inzi bahi hitting 6 to long off in semifinal 1992)…
but the CRACKER moment was when AFRIDI hit that 6 to Udana …. i will never forget Bumble words “oh boom boom boom… it’s coming home pakistan” that made the at back my neck stand …. i have seen this highlights about 10 times …..it is still hard to control my emotion when that moment comes ……….”Oh BOOM BOOM BOOM…. it’s coming home pakistan”….. this time there was no firecracker outside BUT THIS TIME I FIR THEN WITH MY EMOTION IN MY HART …..

I will never forget Inzi bahi 6 to long off & Iqab slow bowled of greatbatch (that ball took 4ever to hit stump). But the CRACKET moment was When WASIM bahi took 2 in 2 …… that was the moment when we fire the first Fire cracker.. the noise it mad was special

Every one’s favourite moment was when Afridi hit a sixer. That was a turning point and had tilted the game into Pakistan’s favour.

The victory in world cup 20 has injected a new and much needed doze of confidence into this terror sticken nation. Pakistan and Pakistni nation have emerged with a new vigor.

The world has also come to know that Pakistan is a country. Pakistnies are a nation. None can bow them down. Not even terror and terrorists.

We can fight on every front and can make a come back, whenever, whereever we want to.

Asslam alikum
The match was worth watching. From Dilshan’s wicket till Shahid ran for the last winning score.The best moment for me was when the target was getting difficult, shahid and shoaib were playing and sri lankan’s were giving their best we were worried, at that moment I got a message from my sister “Nasrun MIn Allah e wa fathun kareeb” recite this ayaa’t till the victory of Pakistan….I and my friends conitnued to recite and it was then when Shahid hit that famous six for us that was Allah’s help for Pakistan and its team….
I loved the moment when Younus Khan wrapped around him the Green flag like he is saving it in his arms. I am thankful to him too for this act in front of the world that my contrymen are the saviours of this land and this flag.
I saw my nation united.I couldn’t stop tears from flowing when I saw SAJDA E SHUKRANA from Shahid and Shoaib, we all were screaming like fools (I have recorded all our screams)), we waited for these moments so long.
We welcomed this cup nothing but with tears, this is not only a cup but its a statment to everyone that Pakistan still rocks. Pakistan Zindabad
