Indeed....Shahzaib had a ton and then a 71 today...which was good to see.....Babar Naeem batted well today....Nasir Jamshaid showed signs of good form....i just don't get the point of picking a team before the tournament....if the players knew that the performance in this tournament would matter to selectors it would make that much more competitive as players will fight harder....we need it at this hour because of no int'l cricket...
2nd Semi Final was amazing...i wonder if highlights are available somewhere... what a mammoth total Karachi chased down...
Needless to say, supporting Karachi for the Final...Afridi and Razzaq having a go at each other would be good to watch...
I am pasting the scorecard here.......the bowlers economy rates are sky high....lol
