Hi Cricket lovers,

Its a great article for the unfortunate lot who missed the match alltogether and couldn`t even follow the Crickinfo commentary of the game, as it provide a whole match`s commentary almost ball-by-ball. There is a big gap on CHAWK for someone to come and write a reall good analysis of the game rather than discussing ``next was this batsman and waqar greeted him with a outswinger bla bla bla``. My honest opinon to the author is to focus more on the analysis of the game and less on the individual details.

One graet thing, though, is that the man seemingly loves the bowling of Waqar Younas and so do I. I strongly believe that Waqar is at least 10 times better bowler (even at this age) than that so-called-self-proclaimed

Rawalpindi-express (or injury-express should I say!) and deserved a lot more respect then what was showred upon him in last few years.

About Waqar I would like to mention what Great Sir Vivian Alexandre Richrads

(I mean Viv Richard) said about ``Gorden Greendge`` when he was out of form and Viv included him in the side (and Greendge slienced his critics by scoreing a classy 200):

``Form can fade, but class can never`` Waqar (or Wiqi as popularly called) is certainly in that class of players. Recently I started disliking cricket and took refuge in the great game of ``American Football``, but looks like the return of Waqar in the ranks of Pakistani team will attract many more heart-broken fans like me. If they continued their shadowy deeds of match fixing

and ball tempering (Y for the life of him Waqar had to temper with the ball in the last test, I saw him on TV and was left embaressed in front of my indian friends when he was shown on TV tempreing the ball - which really truely he was) then I would say the future of Cricket in Pakistan or in teh world is same as the of WWF.

As seen from the,
