Didn't we see the mirror?
Without going to numerical details as to how many times Pakistan defeated India or vice versa or, for that matter, with what margin we trounced South Africa or how India won the match against us yesterday I would like to talk in general about our cricket team which is earning bad name though it should earn laurels instead.
Just look back at our performance in the current T20 series it will be every much evident on the face of it that we did not do as we ought to do and each time our captain Hafeez has given a statement that in next match we will do better but regretfully at the end of the day we failed to achieve we wished. If we look back we find that we played better against each country but not against India proves that we are not toned to bear the pressure which means that knowingly or unknowingly we have taken India as a superior team as compared to our own self. Yesterday India humiliated us more than just defeated. The success margin itself is too local and just 2 Indian batsmen could do what our entire team could not do. Which bowler, if any, took maximum wickers of Indians or alternatively who flourished with bat when we faced Indian blowers? If we put both India and Pakistan against mirror what do we see therein will give us the answer I am looking for.
Let us see the mirror before we face Australians in the next match, I wish & advise.
