Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 17/ 10/ 06
This is no exaggeration. Forget Pakistan cricket, today’s match was one of the great matches in the history of the game.
Imagine a side missing its best batsman and captain for disciplinary reasons, an unpleasant scuffle ensuing whilst appointing the stand-in captain and then losing its two premier bowlers on the eve of their first crucial match for severely maligning disciplinary reasons. The team is written-off; thoroughly demoralized, the captain and coach have unnecessary things on their mind.
