[Jono]

Vintage Pakistani wicket in a pressure match then.

Classic!

Ranks right up there with the worst shots I've ever seen!

If nothing else, Pakistan are making Munaf look like a decent bowler

That's some achievement

Gut feeling is that they are heading for an inglorious total

Watching this match is so nerve racking

The camera man doesn't like Pakistani supporters.

Watching this match is so nerve racking

Watching this match, I get the strong feeling that two unworthy teams that deserved to be eliminated in the qualifying rounds have somehow reached the semis.

If it was terrible cricket earlier, that Hafeez dismissal was the last straw - how poor can the cricket played in a WC semifinal get?

Watching this match is so nerve racking

Yesterday I sat in a bar with a really nice SL guy and for most of the match, we were the only people there

Today, Dubai is really quiet as most of the workers are glued to the match

The support for Tendy is absolutely manic so I hate to think what it's like in India

At least both teams have been poor, which keeps the match level.

What does it say about the other teams if such unworthy teams beat them?

India and Pakistan definitely deserve to be there, it's just a low quality WC

Doesnt mean it's not exciting

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Why the **** aren't they showing Pak supporters

That is home cooking!

Why the **** aren't they showing Pak supporters

Because they probably constitute 5% of the total crowd.

You're on here and the other one is in the bathroom so there's no-one to show

 

[Borges]

The difference in the quality of spinners in the two sides is stark. Harbhajan-Yuvraj is to Ajmal-Afridi as chalk is to cheese.

 

[duffer]

Need two quick wickets at some point like Wahab got for Pakistan. These little partnerships will accumulate at the end. Need a bunch somewhere.

They sold around 2,000 tickets to Pakistanis and the officials said that they would group them together. They could have at least showed Mr Pakistan and Chacha cricket.

They showed them whenever Pakistan took a wicket. Do you need picture in picture of them to make you happy?

I think Dhoni is quite aware of that, bringing back Zaheer with a slip in place.
