Monday at 5pm is the final between Pakistan and India. The way the two teams are playing it should make for a very exciting viewing. Let's hope that both the teams have a go at it so whoever wins in the end, it still turns out to be a good match.
Watching cricket in Pakistan has its own privileges. I have been told that it is now free in U.S. to get streaming from various sites run by desis. Though, you are still an island in the ocean of vast quietness. Here, the excitement is palpable. It also helps that the times of these matches are quite reasonable. For the sake of posterity, the 3 matches-a-day have been aired at 1pm, 5pm and 9pm.
Dawn's metro section and, at times, the main section - when Pakistan wins a major match - carries details of each game. Unlike the sports sections of newspapers in the U.S. that carry sports that get little rise from most of the sub-continental expats, here, you feel part of the public mood; you sway with the public at large.
