Opening post fail!

Misbah and samaraweera are the trump cards of Nagas not Warriors :afridi
 
In that case, I'm going to bed. Don't know which team to support, so may the best team win. I want to see Tanvir and Nazir find some form ahead of the world T20 (Ajmal already performing well for us).

Assuming Nazir is even selected.
 
If nazir is to be selected he can play instead of shehzad. Dont see any scope of both playing.

Shehzad failed 2 days ago but dropping some1 after a single performance and that too in a match which they won without much trouble seems quite unlikely.

there is travis birt but he did well last match and mushfiqur rahim who is MO batsman and a keeper.
 
Looking forward to see Imran Nazir in action.

Samaraweera goes. KW batting line up looks a little dodgy. :misbah
 
KW needs at least 160-70 against NN they have Nazir,Shehzad,Birt ,Mathews all good players.
 
Bit of variable bounce and two paced surface. Good partnership commencing here. 53-2.
 
Sytris in, Mendis strikes. Styris recently hit a 37(or 38) ball T20 hundred in England, he's in top form. Misbah looking solid as usual.
 
Styris holes out to cover, poor shot. Misbah is the key man now, must bat 20 overs.
 
Warriors got Saeed Ajmal and some good bowlers but they need a respective total to put for the bowlers to defend..
 
kundarata looked a good team on paper at the beginning. But SANGA, MORKEL and Botha missing they look like a very ordinary team
 
Misfield takes the over to 20 off it. Big over, much needed, 150+ is on.

Strategic time out is load of rubbish!
 
Good over by Laughlin, pulls it back.

137-5 off 18. 160 should be the target with 2 to go.
 
ok good to see nazir in the field but why travis birt out? if anyone is to be dropped it shouldve been shehzad

Perera playing a beauty, the bowlers are bowling rubbish. Honeslty, the bowling in this tournament can be described as "rubbish" in 1 word
 
Perera gone

While the bowling was utter crap, the fielding in this tournament has been good. The Lankans have some good fielders
 
Good innings by Perera today but is very pro leg sided. Laughlin bowling superb, bowled! 160 looks to be short now.
 
So nice to hear Misbah's voice again. Seems like it has been ages since I last saw him...
 
Decent total, should be a very interesting chase with Nazir, Shezad v Ajmal and Tanvir.

Will be close, too hard to call.
 
ajmal will be key but nazir, mathews, mushfiq are good players on spin

all in all a good match may be finally on our hand.
