Pakistan win, directed by Martin Scorcese

I have decided to support Hong Kong for the Asia cup.

The Asia cup, for those who have no reason to know or care, is some silly tournament that sounded like a good idea to someone, somewhere, once.

I have always had a deep affection for the Hong Kong team, for at least a week now, and I really like Infernal Affairs.

Pakistan predictably gave Geoff Lawson some heart palpitations in their innings before going on to win pretty easily, as they should.

Beating Hong Kong wasn’t enough for Pakistan. Umar Gul, who I'm sure is really his cric info age, wanted to hurt them.

During Hong Kong’s innings of 133, two batsman were retired hurt.

They both returned to the crease.

Hong Kongians are tough mothers, thusly proving why I am supporting this fighting team, as they have the heart of Andy Lau.

Pakistan was clearly worried about this match up for a while now, they also banned Hong Kong from any warm up games.

Proving, this time it's personal.

Pakistan may have feared Nadeem Ahmed, who doesn’t sound like any Jackie Chan character I can remember, because he can bowl.

Following in the great footsteps of other left armed minnow champions like Leverlock and Karim, Ahmed was a one man wrecking crew.

He took out the intestines of the Pakistani middle order, but his efforts were not enough.

I predict great things for this Hong Kong side, they will win this tournament and by August they shall be rated number one in the world.
