The Asia Cup final belonged to Sri Lanka's great team of players for their fighting spirit.  No doubt, it was an incredible game to watch. At the end there was a difference in the two teams that I took note of, which displays the Sri Lanka team's spirit. When the Pakistani President and the Prime Minister came out to the field to congratulate the teams,  all members of the Sri Lanka team took their caps off before shaking hands with Gen. Musharaff. But the Indian captain Dhoni did not do so. This small gesture by all the members of the Sri Lanka team won the day for me. 

In many places in the Third World young people copying the West. Some wear baseball caps inappropriately even in classrooms and theatres or even inside homes when visiting people.

They should take a leaf from our Asia Cup cricket winning team. Respect where respect is due.
