There are great moments in sport. When all seems lost - but through inspiration, hard work, and passion - an amazing result is achieved. It's a big part of why we love sport.
Cricket's next World Cup occurs in 2011, and i am currently following the
qualifying tournament - where the likes of Uganda, Bermuda, Scotland and Kenya play-off for the last remaining world cup places.
I have soft spot for Canada and Denmark, having friends from each country. But now I'm adding Afghanistan, after reading
the story of Raees Ahmadzai.
Having grown up in a refugee camp in Northern Pakistan, this guy is now representing his country. The same goes for many of his team-mates. Whether or not these guys qualify for the world cup - they've already had a win against the odds.
