After watching Pakistan beat NZ in the two T20 matches they played in Dubai, I am skipping the test matches for a moment and looking ahead, to the T20 world cup. As one of the commentators said during the match, you can go ahead and place your bet on Pakistan defending their world cup crown [...]

I can’t wait to go back home, put my feet up and watch the Semifinals of ICL and hopefully I’ll get to see a lot of fireworks courtesy of Lahore Badshahs. Since Pakistan’s cricket team is virtually non existent this season, I have taken up the ICL team as the next best thing and am [...]
