    One should thank Pakistan for playing Afghanistan. Most teams are scared to play Afghanistan, because IF they lose -- it would be a major embarrassment. Pakistan didn't mind, so major kudos.

    The Afghan middle order is fine Talal. In fact, they are extremely athletic and talented. The problem is when they saw Afridi, they sorted wanted to show the crowd :"Look, the same way Afridi used to hit sixes, we can hit sixes on him". If you look at the game, as soon as he began bowling we lost a bunch of wickets. Once again, the Pakistani team played very well -- good win for them. Our fielding however, was disappointing. We dropped Younas Khan twice, we couldve had 2 EASY run-outs, which we missed. That couldve changed the entire game. In fact for the first 15 overs, Afghanistan had played better than Pakistan. After 20 overs, Pakistan showed their experience and sealed the game.

    The best shot of the game,

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

      Which sport do you think takes more strategy, strength, and finesse, baseball or cricket?

        ^^^If you'd allow me to share my opinion - I'd say its cricket, simply because there are more variables involved. The Pitch/wicket being the biggest one.

            its Cricket, Baseball isn't that hard.
            Bowling in Cricket is harder, in Baseball you just throw it and they also use gloves to catch the ball lol!! puss*es

              since I have played both sports in professional leagues I can tell, cricket is a much more sophisticated game. you have to plan and strategize much more in cricket.

              as for strength, and fitness, it is also cricket for sure, since you have to run between the wickets so much and do tough fielding by catching the ball with out gloves unlike baseball

              IN base ball the main thing you have to learn is how to hit the ball, that is the hard part in base ball since the bat is much thinner than the cricket bat, and also how to catch the ball in gloves. once you learn these two things, the rest is not too hard

                Cricket is very interesting game as it has too many different departments like bowling, batting, fielding, wicket keeping, then in every department there are sub departments like in bowling alone you have fast bowling then medium then left arm then right arm, leg spinner, off spinner and so many different varieties of throwing the balls like yorker, slow ball, swinging yorker, seeming ball, out seem, in seem and so many other things.
                The same so many in Batting side, then in fielding...
                Cricket is physically not a tough game because you have time for rest as each side plays at their turn... But it is more a mentally game.

                The toughest game in world in my view is Long Tennis
