Great British Commentator Rob Smyth writes these memorable words about Team Pakistan. "I used to think that Pakistan were the most interesting team in the history of sport. I now realise that they're the most interesting team in the history of mankind. Their ability to teleport between farce and genius is unparalleled, and at best they are like watching sport directed by David Lynch. Nothing makes a blind bit of sense, key characters appear out from nowhere, supernatural forces are at work and inanimate objects can talk. All you can do is run with the mood and the madness. "This Captain is different:- He is not glamorous. Is not shy to express himself in rustic & broken English in front of cameras, even to the extent of consciously creating humor about his lack of fluency in English language. With least regard to his star image with Lollywood or Bollywood crowd or bill board attraction, he very proudly holds his infant son in his arms & affectionately shares jubilation & smiles with his hijab wearing wife standing in middle of Oval ground with her after the spectacular win. These images are flashed on screen before he walks up to the victory stand to receive the championship trophy. He is hafize Quran & now we know why this singular honor has been bestowed upon him during Ramadan. He is different but he is champion of the champions. The debutant of the tournament became "Man of the Match" in the Final... The guy playing his first major tournament gathered the "Man of the Tournament" and "Golden Ball" awards... The spot fixer who was exiled for his sins, came back to decapitate the top batting order of india to atone for his sins... A bunch of renegades rebelled against the aristocrats of cricket and humbled them... The Underdogs defeated the Champions... David has brought the Goliath down... Modesty got the better of arrogance... The weakest batting side scored the highest total of the tournament... The strongest batting side was dismantled to pave way for the biggest margin of defeat in any ICC tournament final... The records shattered like glass... And the lowest ranked team became the Champion of The Champions... Stats don't mean anything... opinions don't count either... paper and analysis meant nothing... On one's best day, the ball doesn't dislodge the bails and the opponents overstep the line... The divine has finally spoken approvingly... And the Universe is in admiration of the phenomenon called Team Pakistan! Via : Babar Zia @OfficialHassam
