Yes finally yesterday the Pakistani's finally won. What a performance, scoring 349 all out against Zimbabwe, a team Ireland drew! I gotta give credit to the Pakistani team, after all they have gone thorugh in the past 7 days such as getting knocked out of the world cup and the unfortunate passing away of their coach, Bob Woolmer (R.I.P). All that aside, they started superbly (im talkin about Imran Nazir's innings lol, an excellent 160) hitting 31 before losing their first wicket. Then came their superb bowling bowling out Zimbabwe for only 99! The moment of joy was when Mohammed Yousuf (he's only bowled one ball in his career!) got the wicket of Mpofu with his first ball! The commentator then said 'Mohammed Yousuf has only bowled 2 balls in his career and has got 2 wickets, astonishing!' This was Inzamam's last match and i think he did fairly well yesterday hitting 37 and not getting run out! He will definately leave a legacy in cricket from the moment he entered the international stage at the 1992 World Cup hitting a useful century to the 2007 World Cup where he bowed out positively and negatively putting aside all their teams troubles in recent days. He will mainly be remembered as an ambassador to the game and also his infamous run out where he would try to run an impossible single. One thing i am still confused about, couldn't Pakistan repeat this performance in their past two games. I don't normally talk about cricket this much but due to the World Cup that currently being held now, i am hooked. I'll have to wait a week before i talk about football and Liverpool (my team), so why not chat about cricket in the mean time.
