I must say even comparing to bigger side, our shots from a distance (outside of the penalty box!!) is simply amazing perhaps on-par with many WC playing nations even. We had 12 shots at goal, compared to Pakistan (5).
It seems like we have developed a habit of scoring from long throws (and Biswanath has amazingly accurate throws too). A bit unconventional method of scoring but, hey if that works for us.

Check out Rory Delap... his story is amazing. He was so good and accurate with his long throws, that teams proffered giving away corners instead of throw ins... |
