I used to gag every time Sunil Gavaskar went, “Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties.” As if to say the rest of life is a game of inglorious certainties. However, after Pakistan’s victory at the 20/20 World Cup, I am going to have to accept – glorious uncertainty it is.
Never has a more ordinary team outperformed two near-perfect teams (South Africa and Sri Lanka) in cricket. Only India’s world cup winning team of 1983 comes close.
This Pakistan team will be thrashed in the Champions Trophy, but 20/20 offers instant redemption. And Pakistan have that for now.
