PAKISTAN - WORLD CHAMPIONS

Pakistan were crowned world champions for 20-twenty yesterday and they truely deserve the crown.
The fact that they were nearly there in the last edition when the Misbah Scoop did them in and the way they sorted out the mystery of Dilshan, Murali, Mendis and Malinga means that they do know how to do well in this format.
A difference that was noticeable - Imran and Younis - Both khans have lead them to their major triumphs, but while Imran was egoistic to the very end, Younis is humble.
Imran's team played for him, Younis's team plays for the country. He makes it clear that the win is for the country. He was a reluctant leader but the way he was able to extract the goods from Afridi speaks well of his skills.
Sri Lanka were undone by the failure of Dilshan and although the 3M's did try their best while bowling, the score was not good enough and Afridi did not loose his head.
I bet on Sri Lanka winning the next edition. This way the cup stays in the Indian sub continent.
