It was good to hear that Pakistan hockey team defeated Australia in tri-nation series in Australia which also involved India. Pakistan which lost two matches against Australia in early stages defeated the host by 4-3 in final. It was good news for Pakistan in contrast to what was happening in the London court room where Pakistan cricketers were sentenced to jail. Pakistan should take confidence from this win as in hockey, Australia is placed at number one with 2620 points and Pakistan is at ninth place with 1460 points. It must also be mentioned that Pakistan was beaten by Australia in early stages of the tournament but managed to defeat them at a later stage. Pakistan team management should work on improving the skills of the hockey payers. MUBASHIR MAHMOOD, Karachi, November 14.
