[Inswinging Yorker]

good win but should have lost fewer wickets

 

[khilari]

Congratulations Everyone !!! Well Played Pakistan

 

[hashman]

great win for pakistan. Should at least take their net run rate over 2 now. Almost a collision.

NOW it is just time for Pakistan to give ireland the PHANTEY they deserve for ruining Inzis last world Cup

 

[CrickFan]

Congrats Pakistan

 

[Momo]

Congrats braathers. A clinical performance (well as clinical as we can possibly manage).

Let's go on and win this cup now, Inshaallah.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Runrate, is it above kiwis now?

 

[khilari]

we are still third

 

[Afridi_Fan]

now we need to beat Ireland, and expect Lankans to beat Kiwis.

 

[Tapori]

Excellent performance despite the stumble towards the end.

Positives:

Fielding (bar that nutmeg)
Afridi - Bowling, fielding AND BATTING sensibly (well by his standards!)
Gul - Top bowler
Razzaq - Still a bit rusty but MUCH better than RAo, Tanvir and arafat
Shazaib!

WELL DONE LADS!!!

 

[Amir]

Not above Kiwis yet...but we need to be clinical like we were against the Dutch. I reckon Sri Lanka will do their usual garbage of hiding their players seeing as they will book their spot with a victory over Ireland.

 

[Inswinger]

Pakistan's RR is not impressive. We need SL to beat New Zealand.

 

[MIG]

we are still behind nz and sl in run rate

So how do we get into the Semis?

we are still third

thats diff then what they put up on tv

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

wee need to pan ireland in memory of Bob Woolmer

 

[Afridi_Fan]

40/1 in 5 overs.

 

[<< Rashid >>]

We can still go through even if NZ beat SL, but it will be based on NRR. I don't think Sri Lanka will rest their main players, there not 100% in the semis, they must win against NZ so that they are not in the NRR equation.

 

[The Slogger]

Congratulations Pakistan !

 

[khilari]

Gul keeping the Inzi tradition Like it

 

[t_kaay]

i think we need to thrash ireland and sri lanka need to beat nz by a good margin......its gonna be a hairy few days

 

[P4K1 #1]

what a win by Pakistan.. inshallah we will thrash ireland and make the semi's

 

[khilari]

Its soooo nice to see our cricketers crediting our legends ... well done Gul

 

[taqi]

we must get Ireland 2 points

 

[kingusama92]

Yup they will play their full team in every game, because even after today's loss NZ has a best NRR out of all the teams.

SL will want to win all three games and completely free themselves of any stress, and hopefully us of any stress

 

[Tapori]

Gul praisng thw The 2W's videos and Aqib - Quite telling.

"Free Ring Ding"

 

[<< Rashid >>]

i think we need to thrash ireland and sri lanka need to beat nz by a good margin......its gonna be a hairy few days

Thrashing Ireland is definitely required, but if NZ thrash SL they may be the one's going out on NRR. The group is wide open....................

I hope Ireland can pull an upset against SL...

 

[moekind]

Horrible batting display by Afridi today.

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Net run rates, previous ones shown were incorrect:

 

[iZeeshan]

That makes so much more sense.

A win against Ireland and we're thru

 

[ali_ed2006]

well assuming Pak and SL both beat Ireland, that will leave both teams with 4 points. Then the match between SL and NZ will be important, if SL win then Pak are through...if NZ win then it would be on NRR....

we just need to make sure we a get a good win against Ireland.

 

[observer1]

Horrible batting display by Afridi today.

Why?

You prefer him to top-edge it and get caught ?

They had plenty of balls to spare, and got there in time to make the NRR be good. I Prefer him to play sensible like this than the reckless version

 

[kingusama92]

Afridi batted brilliantly today. The right amount of singles and doubles with the odd four. He would have been a legendary batsman if he batted like this from the start.

 

[Savak]

Just one mistake today, i feel Afridi batting early in the innings with the fielding restrictions is better than sending Razzaq. Razzaq does best when he knows he has to go all out Attack in the middle to end of the innings.

Akmal
Shahzaib
Afridi
Malik
Alam
Misbah
YK
Razzaq
Gul
Aamir
Ajmal

YK and Misbah can go up the order if massive consolidation is needed.

 

[saqeeb90]

Net run rates, previous ones shown were incorrect:

pak still have very low rating........
i hope srilanka beat newzeland.....................

Afridi number 3 no! Savak just because he done a good innings after ages means nothing any player if u give him 50 chances will fire once! including butt lol! he didnt even deserve to be given this many chances his bowling is what retains him in the squad if he was just a batsman he would of been long gone many years ago so why play him at number 3 like hes our best batsman or something.

your team is messed up why send YK at number 7 he aint a finisher he steady's a innings, razzaq is wasted at number 8 alam doesnt deserve to be number 5. it should be

1. Shezad Hasan
2. Kamran Akmal
3. Shoaib Malik
4. Younus Khan
5. Abdul Razzaq
6. Shahid Afridi
7. Misbah al haq
8. Fawad Alam
9. Umar Gul
10. Mohammed Amir
11. Saeed Ajmal

I would shuffle that around maybe because i quite liked the idea of seing Razzaq and Afridi come in before Younus and misbah today.. because Them two and malik slow up innings

If the openers last 6-8 overs then i would send in Razzaq at number 3 to continue momentum but if early wickets go like 2 wickets within 2-3 overs i would like to see Malik and Younus steady it up then take their chances and get out or whatever and see afridi, razzaq and misbah aswell but i want him to be aggressive like he was last world cup.
