I guess no total is Un-Hussey-lable!

Well played Pakistan! You gave it all you got. Considering the fact that Pakistani players were snubbed by IPL and champions league, and had little exposure other than the drubbing they got during the Australian summer down under, they played like the champions that they are.

They have been marginalized by the world. And they came roaring back and almost brought the world to its knees. The reporters and commentators had indigestion for 39 overs today, as they spent all that time eating their own words.

Pakistan missed Umar Gul's reverse-swinging yorkers that were the hallmark of Pakistan's bowling in late overs last year. Nevertheless, we are proud of their effort today and the courage they showed despite everyone (including us fans) writing them off. They peaked at the right time and almost pulled off a repeat of their giant killing performance that took them past South Africa in last year's T20 World Cup semifinal.
