2nd Semi Final: Kolkata Tigers v Lahore Badshahs

[pakcricketfan]

By bashing Sami, you are taking all the credit away from great batting by Zulu!

no way!!!!
I'm not taking any credit away from Klusener..
He nearly won the match for the tigers single handedly..he just choked at the last moment..
As for Sami, I'm after him coz he bowled poorly...he bowled on all the wrong areas..and did all the wrong things..
Azhar also gave lot of runs but am not bashing him coz Klusener was playing awesome against him...even when Azhar was not bowling as poorly as Sami!!

as long at they win, it doesn't matter how they come.

i though we should have scored more than 180 to start with espically when nazir and H. Farhat we're going ballistic. Alot of them threw there wickets away and no one has mentioned Imran Farhat who has been atrocious barring two innings. Gets LBW same way every time. This might be unfair on Taufeeq but i would bring him into the finals.

Sami was awful, I don't know why he changes his action sometimes but after giving up 5 wides and a four off a virtually one ball, he did well to keep the over down to 13.

Badshahs dodged a big bullet there and i expect them to win the finals since its best out of 3 and don't think Hyderabad is as strong as Kolkota barring Razzaq and Kemp.

Fixed Match

I am Big fan of ICL but I started to feel it was ixed when Sami bolwed 5 wides in the 19th over...they just wanted to make it close semifinal and Eventually Badshash's win... so the Final becomes interesting or else if Tigers had made it to the finals,then interest would have gone down..What say


No harm done even it was fixed it was good entertainment and Good for Commerical suceess OF ICL..Which is very imp for its Survival.

Cheers

1 poor game out of 8 for Sami aint a BAD thing.

Did you see thh looks on the players' faces? Inzi's was furious, Sami wanted the ground to swallow him, almost crying? If you think thats fake they must be the best actors in human history, better than any oscar winners! Some people will claim anything before thinking logicaly!
