Why are they playing Indian movie songs in the background during the match ?? This shows that even Pakistani people are not interested in listening to their (Pakistani) musicians ... And people come and comment that they don't like Indian movies. Such hypocrites !!
And we lost again....Buhahahahahahahaha......
Pakistani Cricket team with 4 captains playing in one team, they will never perform/never play good cricket. Its time to have one same captain for one day/ test/ T20. And kick out other 3 captains.
Pakistan lost by 6 runs. Afridi failed yet again.Threw his wicket at crucial juncture.
SA WON!!!! Yes!!!
We will be disappointed like always !
