Semi Finals and Final Discussion

[Sanz]

3 Overs from Malinga, 2 From Murali. Who will bowl remaining 5 ?

@Jono, Malik is a good player of spin so not a bad decision, can rotate the strike and give afridi opportunity to hit.

Sanath and Matthews

 

[Naumaan]

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.

yeah, Younis plays Murli & mendis easily

 

[Shri]

Looks like its the Agree with Jono week.

 

[Sanz]

And his week has just started.64 Required from 8 with 8 wickets in hand. Looks easy.

 

[R_D]

Afridi playing a sensible innings so far..

 

[Jono]

Haha Chappelli

Regarding the backing up law:

"whoever changed that law should be shot"

Bit over the top.

 

[Pratters]

Afridi playing a sensible innings so far..

Yeah. He has taken responsibility as a senior player very well in the semis and again today. He has tried his best without brain explosions which is the maximum one can ask of off Afridi. Man of the Semis and Finals award goes to him.

 

[Jono]

Afridi, what a man.

 

[GIMH]

Great match, great way to end the tournament whichever way it goes. I hope Pakistan win tbh.

 

[R_D]

now cutting lose.... never thought we'll see the day, Afridi batting sensibly.
6 and 4 and than a single taken......

 

[Adamc]

Haha. Who would have thought that Twenty20 would turn Afridi into a more mature batsman.

 

[Pratters]

Not a great match in my book. It see sawed from all for Pakistan to 70-30 Pakistan back to 98-2 Pakistan.

Look at his FC bowling stats. Insanely good.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Pakistan to win this easily. What would be awesome to see is a wicket falling and Misbah walking out with 6 to win.


Then he'd Dilshan-scoop it straight to fine leg.....



just for old time's sake

 

[Dissector]

Those two shots by Afridi have sealed the game. Looks like another MOM performance from him and a second consecutive world cup MOS peformance . I think he has established himself as the best player of this format.

Small sample size.

 

[Shri]

Small sample size.

Agree. Small compared to greats of the game. But those are awesome stats for a 17 year old.

 

[Jono]

Haha. Who would have thought that Twenty20 would turn Afridi into a more mature batsman.

Lol, good point.

 

[Jono]

This game still not over yet. Pakistan should still win, but crazier things have happened tbh. A wicket and a 3-4 run over could tilt this.
