Pakistan vs Australia ( Carlton n United Series 2000)

Australia sinks as Shoaib resurfaces

To say that this was an unusual day in the life of Shoaib Akhtar and of Pakistan cricket in general would be a gross understatement. To postulate that it was momentous probably would not be overselling the position either. In whatever manner it is described, though, it is likely that it will ultimately be one upon which he and his Pakistani teammates will look back with supreme fondness; a forty-five run victory over Australia in the opening match of the Carlton and United Series here in Brisbane coming at the end of an extraordinary twenty-four hours of action both on and off the field.
