For Pakistan the World Cup is a golden chance to save its face from the spot-fixing saga. Having crucified from all nukes the team is also getting ready to replay with dazzling performance between Wickets. Pakistan had to abandon the tainted hands of Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir.
Shahid Afridi will lead the reconstructed Pak team to take on Kenya in Hambantota tomorrow. He has every right to boast for leading a team that seized a rollicking ODI series against New Zealand. The team has all se to make its debut in 2011 World Cup against a minnow like Kenya.
The team needs a blaming victory to get more fuel to replay the critics who had written off the team for their poor performance in last 16 ODIs, winning seven and losing eight. Former player and incumbent coach, Waqar Younis has fingered towards this thunder spring emerging inside the team.
"We all know that we've been through tough times but that doesn't mean we don't have talent," Waqar Younis said. He expressed the confidence over his squad saying "We are good enough to beat any team on our given day. I don't think anybody is even thinking about match-fixing or spot-fixing.”
Yes, the team has been looking for a day to end the bad news and create a new world of fair play in and out the pitch. "Some days are harder than others, but the motivation is there and we try to make sure that we keep delivering," Younis said.
However, he didn’t spare the opportunity to remind the witch hunters that "If someone has that will to keep distance from us then it's his will. We will probably show it on the field."
