The Anchor, The Captain, The Rawalpindi Express, and Mo Ha

It's a cold dark day in Melbourne this morning, but there's some sweet sunshine all around because Pakistan showed those Sri Lankans how cricket should be played and scored a fantastic victory!
Pakistan, Victorious and Glorious Today

It's YES all around the world for Pakistan fans!  YES!  First of all I really want to talk about gorgeous Misbah ul-Haq's batting!  What an awesome anchor, not only for the innings, not only for the match, not only for the World Cup, not only for the Team, but for ALL OF PAKISTAN and ALL OF CRICKETDOM!  His calm and cool demeanor gives strength to all the lads on the team.  What a role model, what a batsman, what a cricketer.  He is now my absolute all-time favourite!  Well Done Misbah, Good on Ya!!!

Next, I have to tell you about Shahid Afridi; not only does he know when it's time to be aggressive in the batting line-up, he knows when it's time to open that can of whoop-ass when he bowls!  The captain's bowling is getting more and more spectacular every day, batmsen now need psychological therapy after facing his wrong'un!  Just check this out:  in the match against Kenya, Afridi got 5 wickets for 16 and just a few hours ago he got 4 Sri Lanka scalps for 34. 

And that isn't all!  Shoaib Akhtar got two screamin' wickets, clean bowling both Jayarwardene and Perera and breaking some furniture in the process!   Way to show us you've still got it, Rawalpindi Express!  Still bowling at over 150 kph!!! Vicious and beautiful!!

Now to be fair, I will mention that Ricky "Pouting" of Australia also broke some furniture, but he broke a television in a fit of pique after getting run out by Chris Mpofu of Zimbabwe a few days back.  Ricky, a run out happens to the best of them.  You didn't see Mohammed Hafeez breaking TV's or throwing pianos out of his hotel room because he got run out!  No! Mohammed Hafeez is awesome and is always a gentleman.  Love ya Moha for keepin' your cool!

No cooking for today...I'm still buzzing from that victory!

Happy Cricket, Happy Pakistan!
