Pakistan, as well as its cricket team have been in turmoil for quite some time. Our team has turned the tide around for at least Cricket, lets hope our leaders do the same for our country. This world cup has proven, that if you have the will to do, tallent and courage, all that you need to do is that get your act together and the world will bear your Glory.

Well done the young Pakistani team, who have set the right example at the right time. God Bless u all

Well frankly Pakistan played well yesterday. So all the cheers deserve them. Most impotant is that cup belongs to Asia.
