Came across an article in today's paper which suggested that when India and Pakistan play cricket, its war only on the field. Virender Sehwag lost his father a couple of days ago and Pakistan's captain Shoaib Malik along with the team manager and media manager went to Sehwag's place to offer their condolences. This was a very nice gesture on their part. This goes to show that the camaraderie between players of both teams is really healthy and all rivalries are restricted to the cricket field.
On behalf of all Indian cricket fans I would like to offer my deepest condolences to the Sehwag family,which is must be going through a mixture of emotions right now(the birth of Viru's son preceeded his father's death by a week). For inspiration Viru need not look too far, a certain team mate of his attended his father's funeral and came back within a couple of days to represent his country in the world cup and scored a century as a tribute to his father.

That we missed Sachin was clear from the loss against Zimbabwe - we were playing like a school team. The fact that he had to rush back for a match against Kenya (he scored 140??) does not speak high about the rest of the team. But Sachin could not carry on the form - could he ?
