I dont even remember since what age i have been following cricket. The earliest memory i could think of is probably when i was 8-9 years old and seen my father watching test match on TV with some of his friends at home.
The only thing i could remember is that there was red ball, a guy was coming having it in his hand and than throwing it at the guy in front of him standing with full protection on his head, arms, hands. I remember the guy with full protection would hit the this red ball and some guys dressed in white would run behind it. But they would stop running if the ball would reach a rope.
Since that day i started asking questions from my father about this strange game called "Cricket". So my love and hate relationship with Cricket has continued ever since.
I probably will do another post to shed some more light on this relationship, but what i want to write about here today is the Test match which Pakistan lost today to Austrlia. It always hurts when Pakistan loses. But it hurts even more when they lose from positions where no one else could lose.
Today's match was the 2nd in 3 test match series. Pakistan has already lost the first one. Although they got alot of praise the way they battled in that match.
