Cricket Update: Pakistan team soon to apply for Canada visa

Pakistan team soon to apply for Canada visa

Pakistan beat Canada

NSN: West Indies: The tall, tight and fair players of Pakistan today engaged in some good bonhomie with their Canadian counterparts on the playing fields of the Carribean. At one stage reduced to 160 for 6, Pakistan were not going to take it lying down from the big lumberjacks. At one point, cousin of shaheeds for the Kause, Afridi was out for a duck - "I thought it was a Loon!" he is reported to have said, possibly mistaking the duck for similar species only found in Canada. They soon got to their knees and then their feet - finally beating the Canucks in a less than thrilling encounter.

Dutch team's Toon van Loon was not impressed with their performance, saying he was nowhere near Afridi at the time.

After the match, Pakistani players enquired about the possibilities of Canadian visas, including from the supporters of the opposition team.
Canadian players reportedly put both toons and loons into the charity donation box that some hangers on of the Pakistani squad produced for donations to the earthquake.
