[Saj]

Malik thanks Pak fans all over the world and praises his bowlers

 

[Joseph K.]

here we come australia or india

It should be India and defeating India in a World Cup final will heal all those scars.

 

[DM]

Brilliant!

It's going to be an immense final

 

[Daniel21]

MoM

Umar Gul

4 Overs 3/15 with an economy of 3.75!!!

In this game that is outstanding

 

[dirk diggler]

Umar Gul is my MOM, excellent demonstration of kwik bowling

 

[iafzal]

I want India in Final this way we will beat all the best team in Cricket (SL, AUS, NZ) on way to be Champion.

 

[12thMan]

3 captains Malik, Vettori and Dhoni playing in their first big series or tournament as captains have reached the semis. And all three performed well

 

[iZeeshan]

MOM has to be GUl.

 

[Kashif]

What a fantastic win, Gul the MOTM for some superb bowling. 143 was never enough. Geoff Lawson saying to a team staff, one more match to go (from what I can guess).

Malik/Misbah yet again take care of the formalities.

C'mon India, ball in your court to make it a Pakistan-India final.

 

[OU812]

Great. Phenomenal. Wonderful.

Congratulations everyone.

Who do we want to play??? Aussies or Indians? Is there a question??? I'm thinking of sweet revenge!!!

India bro........u can get past the aussies once in the tourney but not twice...we've been there before...however...we havent met india in the final before

so lets hope india do the honourable thing today

 

[12thMan]

Gullu Shah is MOM

 

[khilari]

Malik saying , Pakistan will be no.1 soon... Go Malik

Umar Gul , MoM... well deserved...

 

[iZeeshan]

Well deserved. No doubt, any other descion would have been bad.

Lets see his English...

 

[kashmiri]

Malik/Lawson win us the game guys!!!!!!!!

no thanks to DNA/Mush

congratulations to pakistan and india occupied kashmir

next match pak-india,

world cup to pakistan

 

[iZeeshan]

Seems like everyone on the team is competent in English now cept Nazir and Asif.

 

[iafzal]

I would like Cricinfo headlight to be"Pakistan overpowers NewZeland"

 

[The Chaudrey]

Great performance. Ignoring the bowl-out against India we are now unbeaten in 9 matches - bring on India or Australia

 

[khilari]

India - Pakistan final it should be .... better than scripted it will be....

I will be rooting for India today ...

 

[khilari]

shoaib malik -- very impressive captain... rightly said by the experts in that sky room...
everyone goes to hug malik after victories... speaks volumes of his captaincy

 

[nazimcricket]

The importance of Lawson's remark along the lines that "there is still one more game to go" during the celebrations, says it all for me. He has kept these guys calm and even in one of the earlier matches, Ian Chappell commented how Lawson was telling one of the players sitting on the sidelines cheering to settle down a bit. Seems like he has played a major role in making sure the players keep their head and don't get carried away. Certainly Malik and Misbah seem to be paying attention.

I predict Australia will be in the finals and inspite of the great performance by Pakistan, I think they will struggle to win the final. I guess we'll find out soon enough

 

[iZeeshan]

Who is that bald, white, old, guy in the maroon shirt. I remember him but can't remmeber his name.
