Finally somewhere PAKISTAN and India together.

All captains, except Misbah, seem to have the same hairstyle

@Aqeel this is exactly what i noticed as well, except for Misbah having a different hairstyle.

@Aqeel. After reading your comment I went back and looked at the pictures. Great observation. Funny!!!

Misbah is exceptional.

Good coverage

Awesome show let people of Pakistan learn, by this event.

PAKISTAN and every PAKISTANI in the WORLD loves you MISBAH. Now, make us look good. Our prayers are with you. If Allah forbid you fall, we want you to fall with dignity. Make sure you fight till the very end. Win or lose is part of the game, giving your best is what we desire. Remember there is no I in the TEAM, it is WE. We includes all Pakistani in the world along with the 15 of you guys. We will pray to Allah and you do the work in Australian and New Zealand grounds. May Allah be with you.

@fasahat Dude, Australian neighbor country is New Zealand and our neighbor countries are India, Afghanistan, Iran, and China and you expect us to learn WHAT?

@Aqeel All captains will lose the World Cup, except one.

Dhoni just don't have it....Grace

@Aqeel good observation!

@Aqeel - because only misbah is 40+ ;)

@aqeel All captains, except Misbah, seem to have the same 'batting' STYLE

It was a pale ceremony to be very frank. Especially the one took place in Christchurch (NZ).

Garceful Misbah (Y)

Misbah probably did not get the memo on the hairstyle theme :D

@shaer khan, Yes our prayers are with our brothers/Shaheens. PAKISTAN ZINDABAD and inshaAllah our heros will put a good fight like SAMURAI WARRIORS.

First of all why many comments use God willing.(in English)..it's all about performance guys.

There were large no of pakistanis in the ceremony supporting pak.

Great to see Dhoni and Misbah together, both are great cricketers and wonderful Human Beings. Looking forward to a great contest on 15th, will be supporting Pakistan though. Come Pakistan, make us proud!

There were large no of pakistanis in the ceremony supportig pak. Both in newzlnd and australia.

Outside of India and Pakistan, Indians and Pakistanis are mostly together. I have noticed this in different parts of the world. Indians will go out of their way to help Pakistanis and vice versa. Pity the leaders will not allow unity be them religious or political. I understand there are always exceptions, but for the most part a very close knit culture.

via his hair cut, his message as is clear as ever: be yourself!

@shaer khan His critics call him Mr. Tuk tuk, I call him mr. reliable... even at 40, he is Pakistan's best batsman. Yes, Allah is with hlm. Ameen

Alas, such events cannot be held in our country.

our team seriously needs a new hairdo. look at Indians, they keep up with times, look at dhoni, aging gracefully, misbah looks like a scene from 1970s.

Let the games begin!!! Not hoping great show by India but the world cup is too big to loose interest in the games. Looking forward to Australian commentary in US telcast. They have better quality commentators who analyse the game more on technique and strategies than on emotions.

Wonderful ceremony

Aqeel & Rohit, hair style does,t matter, Misbah is our national hero, V all Pakistanis are proud of Misbah, you don,t have a right to under estimate the legend player. misbah has unique impressive personality, don't consider someone on the basis of ones look, consider ones on his/her professional skills. thanks

@dsd You are such a loser!

Pakistan should achieve same level of professionalism in other games to show up in world stage; Football, swimming, Tennis are big on world stage. Pakistan need to train 500 players in each game, then focus on winter games.

You people don't spend a single minute giving the photo captions a thought, do you?

@rohit me too:)

@fasahat what should they learn!

Sorry, The PCB forgot to forward the "Standard" World Cup Hair Style Memo to Capt. Misbah. LoL.

No one can match DHONI !!! He's smart, wise and down to earth captain who believes in actions than words.

@shaer khan , But Allah being the great he is, whether we pray him or not he loves both of us in the same way. Does he not?

@MyTake because they r in a mess and need god' help in everything. You don't worry they r nt goin to change.

@dsd yeah he is captain of your enemy' s team.. How could he possibly have any grace.

@Nazir Ahmed First deserve than desire

Misbah is looking like Mithun Chakravarti from 1970 movie

Beautiful. Good Luck Pakistan. With God's blessings and best wishes of every Pakistani, think optimistic and go ahead.

@Aqeel glad to see that at least he maintain his tradition rather than following others

Best of Luck Pakistani Team. Misbah could have looked more decent if he had closed buttons.

Misbah please dont play tuk tuk this time.

have u look at both india and pakistan captains standing beside each other. and may be thinking oh god just we want win our match if we loose other matches no problems.

The opening ceremony in Au was an " AUSTRALIAN IDOLS SHOW " But nothing more. Good Luck Team Pakistan !!!!!!

Look at the hair styles of MSD, Clarke n warner....... they are from the same saloon?

@shaer khan very nicely written it brought tears to my eyes while I was reading it.

To me cricket has some meaning when it plays between India and Pakistan.

Like the past, one is apparent nervous and the other superfluous stronger.Media also projecting the hype.

May the Best Team Win ! Come On this is NOT WORLD WAR III

Pakistan Long Live

@dsd Dhoni has the last laugh.....he has the WORLD CUP....

Good observation.

It is a game nothing more but a game; relax and enjoy; you should have seen the final of American Football.

@Atif Khan Yes, but his hair-style suits him better than the new spikey look. He looks very elegant and confident.

@Aqeel same for his play style

Such as low budget event it was. 2011 opening ceremony was one the most beautiful and joyful event in the history of cricket.

@Jason Rafei I totally agree with you.
