Talk about the old glorious unpredictability of Pakistan cricket in the 80's and 90's that the world thought washed away by the Arabian Sea. Now it has truly made it's glorious return in it's very own "Unpredictable and Unsubmissive" manner to it's birthplace, Al Hhamdulillah. This second edition of Pakistan Super League, PSL 2017 in UAE from the very beginning provided its fans with the unique Pakistani taste of nail biting contest till the last over, till the last delivery, tremendous fighting spirit and absolutely unthinkable match results at the end of crunch moments after a lot of twists and turns. And that very much has set the tone of whole tournament so far if you look at the match results. How many times do you see teams in a franchise T20 tournament successfully defending 120 or 130 odd runs chasing 200 runs with extra ordinary coming back from periodical collapses and then wining or losing by a factor of a single run at the very last delivery of the match in a regular basis !!? Alongside the international game changers, like Kevin Peterson , Chris Gayle , Darren Sammy, Tamayl Mills etc I have seen some impressive performance and fighting ability from some emerging local talents of Pakistan. It's really amazing to see a country deprived of international cricket for near about a decade, still producing adequate amount of game changing young talents who can deliver when the team needs them to perform and gradually become a formidable player to their opponent teams. As a very old fan of Pakistan cricket (from the 90s when I was a high school boy) I can now be optimistic about getting back the old unpredictable Pakistan (with the likes of Wasim, Waqar, Injimam, Ijaj, Saeed Anwar, Shoib Akhtar, Sawlain Musthaq, Afridi) with a new bunch of emerging talents who truly posses the quality to bring back the Pakistani spirit of getting back on the game from an absolute wreckage. Behold world cricket !! The surpriser , the stunner, the mind blower, the cricket redefiner spirit and power and has truly been brought back by the brave people of Pakistan who are truly unsubmissive to any threat from their enemies In shaa Allah, Al Hhamdulillah. Wish I could see the final between my favorite Peshwar Zalmi and my wonder, Quetta Gladiators in Lahore. Never the less, here from Bahrain, from the core of my heart I congratulate the victorious and gallant people of Pakistan on their win over all the ominous attacks against their cricket, against their great nation. You guys rock !! I wish you all, all the very best In shaa Allah. Pakistan Zinda Baad.
