The Big Picture

We see the match as a contest between Pakistan and India the teams - not the countries.

Today we will not just need a cricketer on the field, we will need a performer, a player who likes to flaunt himself.

Pakistan has never beaten India in a World Cup, but they have always been the gate-crashers. Let's defy the stats!

Team Pakistan can win the semi-final, and nonsensical warnings from Rehman Malik will not hurt our chances.

If I were to have any say in the team selection, I would certainly go for Saeed Ajmal and Shoaib Akhtar.

Let’s stop loving to hate India and stop referring to the semi-final as a ‘do or die’ situation.

Indian fans have already decided that the match will be won by India - the pressure of expectations is on Dhoni.

Pakistan beat India by 4 wickets in 2007; the crowd cheered so loud, I felt the balcony shaking under my feet.

As I watched Mulan, I realised that the message coming from the Disney movie was not about powerful women.

If not for the fact you are older than me I would tell you to grow up.
