India Trounce Pakistan: Those Firecrackers in That Ad Stay in The Box

India has played Pakistan and has emerged victorious - alas for the Pakistani fan in THAT advert, again.   In the light of this absolutely beautiful win, this epic match promo that trolls the Pakistan cricket team has been trending on social media again.

The ad starts with a young Pakistani man watching the arch-rivals play in the 1992 World Cup in Australia on his television at home in Karachi. Just as he picks out his firecrackers to celebrate Pakistan's win, he watches his team losing.

Deflated, he puts the firecrackers away. Cut to 1996 - the firecrackers are out but have to be put away again. And again in 1999, 2003 and 2011, as the young man ages, marries and becomes father to a young boy himself. The firecrackers remain in their box, still unexploded and festooned with cobwebs.

And that is their fate once again in 2015, with India's sixth straight World Cup win against Pakistan.

Social media has taken this opportunity to rip apart and troll the poor guy in the ad.
