Day 14 - Dr Paki and Mr Stan

Some days ago, I reminded one and all of the age-old adage, 'You never know which Pakistan will turn up on a given day!'

Now, I have to change that. 'You never know which Pakistan will turn up on a given hour!'

You win the toss. Elect to bowl. Under cloudy skies, pardonable.
Then you bowl short and wide, no-balls, gimme-balls, catch flies instead of balls, misfields as if the white cherry is a grenade, lose a review even as my 77-year-old father-in-law is screaming 'GOING OVER!'... In short, you think that Mr Stan has arrived.

Then suddenly as if by magic, Dr Paki arrives. In 24 fabulous overs, dismantle Australia for a seriously sub-par finish to end up with a gettable score.

On top of it, Dr Paki goes up to 136-2 in 25 overs only to yield to Mr Stan by self-destructing to 130-8 in 20.4 overs!!!

#aaaaarrrrrgggghhhh

Enjoy.
