The storm had already claimed the lives of at least two people in China's Hainan and 16 people in the Philippines
Not even in their wildest dreams would the Irish have envisioned a win over the 1992 champions. The same holds true for Pakistan. Never ever did they feel that they would be defeated by a team whose players are almost unknown in their own land, leave alone the rest of the world. On the very same day India, also former champions and another top gun, were made to eat humble pie by their neighbours Bangladesh, the perennial whipping boys of the game.
While the lovable Irish and Bangladeshis partied into the wee hours, there were near riots in India and Pakistan. Indian keeper Mahender Singh Dhoni’s house under construction in Ranchi was smashed up by disgruntled fans. The Indian state of Karnataka posted armed policemen outside the house of skipper Rahul Dravid to ensure nothing like the Ranchi incident happened in Bangalore. Strange is the way Asian fans treat their national treasures. When they win they are heroes, when they lose they are treated with illogical disrespect.
