JOHANNESBURG: As Pakistan take on Australia today, cricket will finally achieve what years of diplomacy and peace processes haven't been able to.

Millions of Indian fans will cheer every wicket taken by the Men in Green, and go into raptures whenever a Pakistani batsman hits a boundary.

Unfortunately, this neighbourly bonhomie is likely to be a one-off. Team India desperately needs Pakistan to beat Australia to keep alive its own hopes of making the Champions Trophy semi-finals. An Australian win will hand a return ticket to Dhoni's men.

But having already gone through to the semi-finals, Younis Khan's team might rest a few key players though the skipper, who played against India in spite of a broken finger, said he would take the field himself. An outright Australia win against a virtual B-team from Pakistan will mean India packing their bags and heading home.

Dhoni, his team on the brink, couldn't be bothered with the big picture. The equation, purely from a sporting point of view, wasn't to his liking. "I guess you can expect Indian fans to cheer Pakistan tomorrow. It's entirely up to them if they want to do so." Asked if he would implore Pakistan to pull off a win and field their best team, Dhoni, almost irritable, shot back: "How can I have any suggestions for Pakistan? They have their own plans and they will do what suits them. You can support who you like."

Younis, who is fast acquiring cult status as a witty statesman of the game, was more relaxed, his team having already gone through. He was savouring the situation and offered some insights while he was at it. Essentially, he said he would like to see India go through but his first priority would be Pakistan's benefits.

And of course they thoroughly enjoyed the dinner. maple story mesos Iike a perfect Chinese hostess Mum and especially Granny kept stuffing them with food and urging them to eat and to drink, apologizing all the time that "it's-all very meager and coarse fare. " The Robinsons, on the other hand, were loud in their praises and protestations. "We used to hear about Chinese hospitality and now we know what it's really like. How can you describe such a lavish meal as meager and coarse? Any hostess in the West would be proud of such a feast instead of apologizing for it," Mrs. Robinson said to Mum.

"And another thing we don't do in the West is to urge the guests to eat and drink," flyff penya Mr. Robinson added. "With so much good things before me I certainly don't need any urging. The problem is rather how to prevent myself from over-eating! But back at home I often had to ask for a second helping and my hostess would feel flattered that I should want more of her stuff. Here you don't even give me a chance to ask for,more!" We all burst out laughing at that.

Or better still, come and see us in the States on day. "
