Haha, can't take that stuff personally mate.
Good stuff from Pakistan. Expected to wake up and see a rather close contest and Pakistan out of the tourney. Now if our batsmen can keep posting up totals like that our bowlers might just have a chance.
Me, too. My heart was racing when I woke up and checked CricInfo. It stopped as the page loaded and then I read they won easy. What an anti-climax.
Here's the highlights of the match, if anyone is interested.

i just knew one thing, if the target was near 140 then spinners could come into it
they did both really bowl
8 overs between 2, gave 30 Runs & 7 wickets, it was good match for even Kamran Akmal, i always like his batting, but keeping is a concern, but yesterday he did a good job, i hope he scores some quick runs in coming matches & more importantly, doesn't miss catches, stump chances & doesn't miss the ball to give extra runs, same applies with the other fielders, they need to play at their potential, then no wonder why they can't reach the semi's

i think every1 is forgetting that pakistan have been STARVED of international cricket this past year. they were very rusty in the warm up matches,and can u say pakistan would of lost to england if their players compteted in the ipl?
fantastic display against a good holland team. one bowler who i thought should have more credit was sohail tanvir. he restricted his powerplay overs to 4 per over, which forced the batters to go more aggresive against afridi and ajmal.
england have got such a hard group. i hope they just play positive and attack south africa, west indies and india from the start. they arent expected to win but they have a great 20/20 team

You're saying if Pakistani players were playing in IPL, Pakistan would not 've lost to england. But i'm still feeling shame that we lost to England, they played better but we were poor, bad fielding & poor batting, if we play England again, i'll still put my money on Pakistan
Well, that was fun.
Fairly good bowling and fielding performance from the Dutch, but the batting fell apart. Kervezee and Zuiderent got bogged down against Sohail Tanvir (fantastic bowler, must be impossible to make sense of for the first few balls with that wrong-footed action), and were then dismissed by the spinners. Shahid Afridi was wonderful with the ball. Pakistan's fielding was still dire though, dropping the first two catches to come their way. Salman Butt got some stick from our section of the stand when he had to field in front of us.
The dead rubber between NZ and SA was a fairly flat game for most parts, although there was some fantastic fielding on show from NZ mainly (Guptill's direct hit from 40 yards, McCullum with a few brilliant stops to save fours) but also from SA (Kallis' c&b was unbelievable to see live. One moment he was nowhere near the ball, the next it was safely in his hand one inch from the turf). In he end SA won by one run so the last over was good.
The BBC highlights program presenter did his introduction from the row of seats in front of me, surrounded by some Dutch girls' team, that was fun too.
Managed to get one of the last tube trains to my Heathrow hotel before the strike kicked in, and thus ended my pilgrimage
