Had Afridi thought with a mind of Dhoni.....

Had Afridi thought with a mind of Dhoni.....

The game was all set...the run mines were laid by Pak as Australian wickets blasted of during the journey to victory..but it wasn't really their's infact it was gifted to them by Ajmal in last over...

Then who's was it of course Pakistan's..Trying hard to make a finalist entry for the third time Pakistan stood outstanding throughout 19 overs of their bowling innings but were out classed by Hussy in last over of Ajmal...

Questions were being raised the moment Ajmal had the ball for final over and Pakistan Cricket fans all over started praying..Pakistan's cricket community on orkut was one of them...

And then comments came out shit! Afridi...Last over to a spinner...How can you do that....And then it happened which was unexpected....2 sixes and a 4 by hussy off Ajmal....swept the tide away from the defending champions...

It could have happened the other way round as well...had the over given to a fast bowler..who could have been saved for last few overs...

But then how does Dhoni comes into the picture in all this...As the match was going on my thoughts went of to the 1st T20 Final between India and Pakistan where Indian won in last over when Shreeshant took a marvelous catch off Joginder Sharma..forcing Mishbah on his Knees

Ofcourse Misbah was not expecting Joginder Sharma for the final over when Harbajan was in flow during his spell

A change in mindset of Mishbah costed Pakistan the cup....

Had Afridi thought with a mind of Dhoni Pakistan could or rather would have been in finals...
That's where experience comes into play..Dhoni didn't had either..he tried and succeeded...but that is where Afridi lacked...

Though he bowled well before but under pressure all Ajmal could get was a six and four...It would be hard again comparing Misbah and Hussy...or Pakistan and Australia but when it comes to T20 everything is possible because as they say....

"In T20 Wins and losses are like coin tosses"
