Shabash Rafique!
Abdullah Shams Bin Tariq, Southampton, UK
It was indeed a disappointment that we marginally missed our first Test victory, but I must declare that much of my agony was over when I came to learn that Mohammad Rafique did not run out Umar Gul at 212/8 when he left the crease before the delivery. This was indeed a demonstration of the highest level of sportsmanship. It has certainly made me much more proud than I would have been had we won with the dismissals obtained the same way as did Rashid Latif's catch. We have defeated the Pakistan team in sportsmanship, and we all hope that further victories in the field will soon follow.
