I should add that the support was amazing.. thousands of fans with canada flags chanting cheema's name - he seems to be a bit of a legend over there. Rubbishes people who say theres not enough fans to host big games in these countries. Amazing atmosphere. Honestly one of the best games ive ever watched - who needs stanfords million dollar stars when youve got a game like that?.

 

[Xuhaib]

Well Pakistan got home - something for their supporters to cheer I suppose, in what's been a difficult year ... I always think that if a side needs more than 10 off the last over they're in trouble, but they did it with a ball to spare - thanks to a remarkable innings from tailender Fawad Alam who hit three of the eight balls he faced for six!

 

[nightprowler10]

Yeah Fawad Alam is considered one of the top OD all rounders in Pakistan IIRC. Great to see them win. In my pessimistic mood I stopped watching after the 7th wicket fell, came back to check how much they lost by and was pleasantly surprised.

 

[stumpski]

Fair enough, I know nothing about him, but it sounds as if he should be batting ahead of Sohail Tanvir at least. Number 9 is a tailender in my book.

Shoaib Malik's action is terrible... Decent start by Zim though, Masakadza is playing beautifully.

Sanath @ 38 just took a Delievery from Akhtar that was 147K and smashed a SIX ... the cricket ball was lost. I thought you lose your reflixs with age

2.6 Shoaib Akhtar to Jayasuriya, SIX, bigger, same area but this pull landed much further back, and we have a lost ball
2.5 Shoaib Akhtar to Jayasuriya, SIX, pulls him away, right over square legs head, on to the manual scoreboard

 

[stumpski]

96 wanted off 16 ... you'd expect them to do that in fifty-overs, it really shouldn't be a problem here.

 

[stumpski]

Bit of a mid-innings wobble, but the return of Shoaib Akhtar got them back on track.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Nice to see Shoaib Akhtar get murdered. His bowling looks like the difference between the two sides on the face of it.

I quite enjoyed this tournament of what I saw of it. Always missed the night games but decent stuff.

Does anyone know who took the ‘Man of the Series’ award? The prize was a luxury apartment in Dubai and I was hoping Hamilton Masakadza would win it. Aside from Cheema and Mendis there was no obvious other players for the award.

 

[Athlai]

Mendis did.
