The best thing about the match I thought was the Pakistani crowd. They were very supportive and well behaved. They not only supported the visiting team but also the home team even after loosing the match. Hats off to them!! Good job guys! Keep it up !! India ofcourse held their nerves till end and Paki team also did great My personal opinion , Mr Javed Miandad should not disturb his batsmen when they are on the field. More than any advice I felt he was pressurizing Moin Khan. Javed might have hit a six on the last delivery but every time its not the same condition. Moin Khan is an experienced batsman and he knows better than anyone how to play the shot. Miandad definetly needs to get his things right ;-) Ganguly could have expressed more gratitude towards the Pakistani crowd during prize distribution. They would have appreciated it. I know its a small thing but its not just an ordinary cricket series. Our indian Captain can get more than just a winning cup on his way back to India. His words could have encouraged other pakis in other venues our India is going to play. but overall a great match to watch. Thanks guys !!!!
I strongly object to the way the author has started the article. There is no reason to view a cricket match as a 'war'. This is unnecessary media hype, that has to be stopped. I agree that this match means a lot to both the countries for a lot of reasons. But 'war' is NOT the correct word to describe it. Mr. Collett should try to be write as a mature journalist. This kind of nonsense only inflates feeling of enemity among the people of the two countries.
