Notes on that historic Final of the inaugural 20:20 World Cup

The Awards ceremony was an anticlimax. One expected to see a majestic equivalent of the Lord’s balcony host the event. All we got was a bare stage and a balding gentleman to give the award away. Mahendra Singh Dhoni arrived to receive the trophy in a sleeveless banian. Man, Display some respect, that is the World Cup that you will receive.  Woe, it is the Gentleman’s game no more.

 

Shoaib Malik at the awards ceremony, “I would like to thank all the peoples of Pakistan  for their support  I would like to thanks all Muslims in whichever country for their support to Pakistan”.

 

Considering our jubilant mood, we Indians are willing to overlook the rather objectionable remark.

 

Shahid Afridi at the Awards Ceremony, “I would like to congratulate all the Indian nations…” . Duh ?
