Semi Finals and Final Discussion

[Sanz]

Afridi does not need to come as long Akmal is in the middle, doing a good job there.

 

[Shri]

A wicket lost early would be advantage lost. Notice how Pakistan is on top because they haven't lost a wicket yet. Two quick wickets with Afridi falling early soon after Afridi arrives builds the pressure in a final which Pakistan can do without.

Younus Khan, Razzaq, Malik etc are experienced players who have been in these situations before. Nothing they can't handle when the target is 139.

 

[Shri]

Akmal gone.

Boom boom time!

 

[Sanz]

I complete agree, It's Pakistan's game to lose from here. They are in a very strong position right now.

Never say never in T20 cricket.

 

[Sanz]

Akmal gone.

Boom boom time!

Grand Daddy comes to the Rescue, once again.

 

[Shri]

I would be pissed off as hell if Afridi gets out now after I have talked him up.

Will prove my 'theory' right though so all is good.

Need some strange reference to boom bust economic cycles....

 

[Jamee999]

Just in, imo.

 

[Pratters]

How will your 'theory' be proven right?

 

[Shri]

Afridi's wife has a big bust. Does that count?

 

[Sanz]

I think SL want Shahzaib to stay or may be not if he is going to hit those 4s

 

[Shri]

How will your 'theory' be proven right?

If he gets out caught at the boundary.

 

[Jono]

Wow, Shazaib hits 2 pretty hard hitting boundaries off Mendis.

I think that takes away that little bit of momentum SL got after Akmal's wicket.

 

[Pratters]

He would have been out any way after six then by that measure. That means he shouldn't have been sent up in the first place.

 

[Shri]

Murali breaks through.

 

[Jono]

Scrap that, Murali comes to the rescue.

 

[Naumaan]

Shahzaib gone
Pakistan, you need to 've wickets in hand
just take singles now, 7 runs an over are required

 

[Sanz]

Mendis 21 in 2 overs.

 

[Jono]

Yeah, just get 1s and 2s per over for now, with the odd bad ball to the boundary. They should still be right.

Disagree with Malik coming in. Captain should have come in himself.
