'Official' Semi Final 2 - Pakistan v India

[irfan]

Yesssssss.

Please Shahid don't do something special.

It's been his WC - can see him pulling his brain together for atleast a half-hour for a boom boom cameo

 

[Borges]

I am aware of the knock in question but ODI cricket was a new concept then! Had only just started players didnt play T20 and were not used to the acceleration that we have today

Forget limited overs; it was terrible even by test cricket standards, even in those days. At that rate, he would have batted through a full day of test cricket to score a whopping 45 runs.

 

[duffer]

Zaheer back on. Good move.

 

[Furball]

You're obviously unaware of the worst innings in WC, and possibly all cricket, history

Nah, he's just trolling.

Read something the other day that described him as 'the only person ever to play for a draw in an ODI' or something along those lines. Looks like he might have some company though.

Yes, difficult to comprehend that 36 not out off 174 balls wasn't enough to knock off 334!!!Must have been let down by the batsmen at other end. It's not too difficult to work out he may have needed the accelerator button during his innings! Maybe the run rate required showing 30 rpo needed would have been an indicator!

Wot?

Afridi is a proven match winner, we must get him out asap!

 

[duffer]

Oh god please be out. Think he dropped it though.

What. the. hell.

Sunny probably got paid for that innings. I can't hate him for that.

Word.

If (and it's probably the biggest "if" of all time) Afridi uses his brain, Pak can win this

They have a powerplay, this ground isnt big enough to hold him and the rest is just knocking it around

Simple really

 

[turnstyle]

Well played India. Great win. Would you bring in Ashwin for the final?

 

[LJMJ]

Misbah . Worst innings ever.

 

[Furball]

What. the. hell.

Gavaskar decided that the run chase was impossible so opted for a net.

 

[duffer]

Afridi getting toey here. Matter of time

Yessir!

 

[Adamc]

Wahab to do it himself IMO.

 

[Furball]

Wicket from a waist high full toss.
