The waiting is finally over, ladies and gentlemen.

Around 30 minutes to go till the toss and the announcement of the teams.

Our prayers, best wishes and full support is behind Shahid Khan Afridi and the ten others with him.



It won't be easy, but great things never are.


Will we win today and achieve what we have failed to do in 1996, 2003 and 2007? Join us here so we can experience this epic day together... and Inshallah, celebrate together at the end of it too....!!

C'mon Shahid bhai lets win this toss!

 

[imshally81]

imran said ... we must have 3 specialist spinner

 

[Theo_14]

I would have loved to stay home and watch the game but GCSE's coming up so can't be missing any lessons but I'll be keeping a eye on the scorecard though.

Insha'Allah Pakistan will defeat West Indies!!

 

[goldleaf]

Salaam brothers, I am also very nervous. Once Gayle gets out I'll be fine.

 

[james_bond]

Shahid lost last toss on last three occasion,about time he wins one!

Come on yaar, it's a wc qfinal plus gcses are a piece of cake, what's missing a few lessons gonna do?

 

[james_bond]

Extremely nervous and the tension is mounting.

 

[mastermind_quad]

I just feel that there should have no World Cup in the earth

.. ...

even in my dreams i m thinking of cricket only .....strategies ,fixtures ,etc.....

 

[Theo_14]

Come on yaar, it's a wc qfinal plus gcses are a piece of cake, what's missing a few lessons gonna do?

I would have said that 2 years ago - but trust me... Education comes before cricket .

Not a few lessons, it's 5 lessons and all of them are related to the exams I'm doing soon, it's a shame I'll be missing the game.. But what can I do?

Until then....

Waqar Younis: "I am very happy. Beating Australia isn't easy but the boys stuck to the task. The boys worked really hard. We know where we came from in the last year or two. You got to be sensible with how you bowl. Umar Gul has been very sensible. Wahab might be little wayward but the whole bunch, if you take the bowling unit, we have done a super job. The tracks in Sri Lanka haven't been easy to bat; In India and Bangladesh it should get easier. All I am telling the boys is just to take one game at a time. One at a time. That's how we started the tournament and that's how we need to go forward."

Taken from CRICINFO scorecard.

[goldleaf]

United! United!

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

Here we go then!

Ajmal
YK
Gul

^These are the 3 I am backing for this one!

Dhaka and Pakistan, take it away!

Thankyou thankyou!

Bhai that's too much confidence.

Let's respect the opposition.

Inshallah we will win but its a TOUGH game.

Waz went on field to meet the boys just 12 min ago

Which channel?

 

[imshally81]

Pitch report: There is a bit of green grass on the wicket. There is some moisture, there are a few cracks and the team batting second may get some uneven bounce. It is a win the toss and bat first wicket, feels Wasim Akram.

 

[talha3]

Thanks for the reassurance.

 

[imshally81]

here u go.... toss

 

[ZenBowman]

I'm really hoping the Windies bowl Rampaul instead of Benn, who is going to be toothless against Pakistan. Rampaul has the goods to bother the top order.

 

[zahid01]

Good luck to the guys lets see what happens

 

[Theo_14]

Let's not rule Arsenal out completely of the title race anyways back to the topic ....

Pitch report by Wasim Akram: "There is green grass and hint of moisture but team will bat first. The ball will keep slow and low in the second innings. so win toss and bat first."

[mastermind_quad]

WI won toss & bat

 

[Sledger]

Sammy wins the toss, WI batting.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

West Indies win the toss, and Sammy acted as if he has won the game.

 

[Theo_14]

WI win the toss, and choose to bat - damn!

 

[imshally81]

West Indies have won the toss and elected to bat

 

[12cavalry]

Pak loses toss...no probs

 

[Sledger]

Gayle, Roach, Chanderpaul in.

NO BENN!!!

 

[SameerP]

West indies won toss and batting first and the conditions are great for batting.

 

[Theo_14]

"There is green grass and hint of moisture but team will bat first

A good toss to lose for Afridi?

 

[Strike!]

Oh no.

 

[Sledger]

Ajmal in for Rehman.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

plays

 

[Rizie]

Oh yes were gonna hear azhars commenrs

[arsalan660]

Rehman out :idone in

 

[adnan yasin]

weare fielding

 

[Sledger]

Razzaq probably batting up the order - Afridi.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

No Benn, isn't that a shocker? Well sort of.

 

[SameerP]

No Rehman and Akhtar today and bringing Saeed ajmal. Afridi says Razzak might move up one position

 

[ZenBowman]

Rampaul playing, good choice by the Windies. Now let us hope that they can put up a respectable score so that we have a close match.

 

[imshally81]

ajmal in.... A Rehman out...
only one change

 

[12cavalry]

GUYS are you ready for a Gul Blitzkrieg?!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Razzaq probably batting up the order - Afridi.

He might, because there is no Uncle Benn.

 

[Sledger]

It's ok, just win the tosses in the semi and the final.

 

[cricket47]

Razzaq probably batting up the order - Afridi.

WHY DOES HE SHOW HIS CARDS? Shouldnt he play them to unsettle the opposition?

 

[Sledger]

I think Afridi just said that because Nicholas asked, Razzaq will probably only come up by one (ahead of Afridi).

 

[MRSN]

good line up

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Afridi: "Toss doesn't give any difference. We bowled first against Australia; we will carry on with the same attitude. All the boys know the importance of this competition. We are very positive and looking forward to this game. Rehman has done a great job so far but we are going in with Saaed Ajmal as they have couple of left-handers. I am going in with the same batting order; maybe Razzaq might go up the order. We are planning game by game. Alhamdullilah, we have done a great job so far."

 

[adnan yasin]

not more then 200 runs please

 

[ZenBowman]

On a green pitch, the Windies may well regret batting first....
