14th June - 1st Semi-final - England v Pakistan

[vic_orthdox]

I think the fact that this chase has proceeded so comfortably means you can take the wicket out of the equation here - one team's just pantsed the other.

 

[Howe_zat]

At least I knew what it was like to be expected to win. That was different

Rest of the world to Pakistan: Modern LO cricket has changed a lot, 400 is the new 300 and you guys are just too behind, struggling to qualify for CT and WC
Pakistan: We will drag you down to the 90s where we belong and beat you for fun.

Yes I accept this one has drifted away from us. Fantastic performance from Pakistan, outbowled, outbatted and outfielded us.

Yeah Pakistan have been brilliant, England have been really bad.

It is just one performance, that is it.

This is the type of stuff as a cricketer that would make you hate the social media team. #mozz

Virat Kohli: "Everyone wants a England-India final". Just shows which team Kohli would rather face in the finals.

Congrats Pakistan!

Brilliant performance.

Good job we dropped Roy, would have been over already.

He's not wrong. Everyone expected Pakistan to be rolled over by England. Hell, if it is a India/Pakistan Final, a repeat of the first match would be favored. Everyone wants a competitive and exciting final, which is why they were rooting for Eng/Ind.

 

[Black_Warrior]

And that's why its so much fun when everyone is wrong

 

[vic_orthdox]

Six on the leg?

Indeed. Well done Pakistan. Great cricket.

The answer to q5 was also 'no'

The winner will be on tie breaker. Pakistan need to win in less than 43 overs and 5 balls for Daemon to take the title. Otherwise it's AZH.

What a strange tournament this has been.

England and SA both need therapy ahead of the WC.

Bit of a comedown match for Stokes after being incessantly hyped for two months.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Pakistan will win today is my valuable prediction

You did this against South Africa too. Can't thank you enough dude.

 

[Howe_zat]

Daemon is LMS champion

 

[honestbharani]

Lol.. I feel the real hero here is BW, with his absolutely wonderful gambhiring that has more than made up for smileyshah's absence.


And BW, just noticed your posts went awfully quiet about "luck" just like Sehwag's twitter feed.

 

[harsh.ag]

Best chance for them is to skittle England out for 200 and chase it imo.

Indeed.
