ya there are quotes on cricinfo and other sites showing amazing excitement from pakistani posters claiming Afghanistan's victory over the all mighty USA...some even calling it a victory for all muslims..completely ignoring the fact that some of these players grew up in the refugee camp in Pakistan and doesn't identify themselves as pakistani in anyway possible

Afghanistan qualify for world Twenty20 showpiece More... Afghanistan qualify for cricket Twenty20 showpiece (AFP) February 13, 2010 DUBAI — Afghanistan's fairytale story in the world of cricket continued on Saturday as they defeated hosts United Arab Emirates to reach their first major tournament, the World Twenty20 finals in the West Indies which runs from April 30 to May 16. The Afghans won by four wickets, restricting UAE to 100-9 off their 20 overs - Mohammad Nabi taking 3-17 - and then reaching their target in 19.3 overs with opener Noor Ali topscoring with 38 not out. It is a remarkable feat by the Afghans - most of whom learnt to play cricket in refugee camps over the Pakistan border - as they were in the fifth division of the world cricket league just two years ago. Afghanistan, who showed their talent when they came within one place of reaching the 2011 World Cup finals, will play either Ireland or The Netherlands - both of them are the joint holders from the previous tournament - in Saturday's final. The winners of the final will be placed in Group C alongside India and South Africa while the losers will go into Group D with the West Indies and England.

Congrats to them on making it to T20 WC. Seeing their rapid rise in the game, it seems they might replace Bangladesh or Pakistan soon in the test playing nations. :winky: Anyways hope they join the BCCI/India camp if they get status in the future. Congrats again and they have close to achieving the amount of success Bangles have achieved in just 2 years. Bangles need to learn a lesson or two from them. :giggle:
