Geoff Lawson, the Pakistan cricket team’s coach, made this bold statement before the India-Pakistan clash:

The result, as you may know, was the exact opposite.  India thrashed Pakistan by 140 runs and crushed Lawson’s hopes and expectations.  This not something to be cocky about - after all, it’s just one win, but it makes me happy nonetheless.  Pakistan perhaps got too cocky for their own good.  Their 12-match unbeaten streak included 11 wins against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, who aren’t exactly the fiercest of rivals. Today, their bowling was taken to the cleaners and their batting came apart so fast that they did not even last 40 overs.  Gee, I thought a team capable of beating India by 150 runs would at least bat out their 50 overs!

One piece of advice for Mr. Lawson:  Confidence is good, overconfidence is bad, mmkay?
