India wheezing past Ireland, Pak getting reamed by NZ and the Banglas ain't in top form either. I hope the Lankans can keep it going as i would like the Cup to stay in South Asia.

I just want it to go to well deserved team rather than a fluke!
They should make final, best of three

In that case Australia, South Africa or India would win. The surprise element has been kept in this world cup format. Just three good days, and any average team can also win the world cup, even if it plays really poorly before the quarterfinals.

[PuNk]

I can see Australia as the winner

[m_waqas]

i would like Srilanka or South Africa to win..

[PuNk]

SA are chokers !!!!
They get under too much pressure because of this label

[shift_oz]

Australia!!!

Pure skill. They deserve to win.

India ki tu baat na karen bhai jaan, they have the power to change rules in the middle of world cup, what else we can say other then that "ICC wants india to win for its financial gains", thats why they are helping her to win.

Let us all state top 3 most shocking matches for Pakistan team fans, here is my list,

1-WC Quarter final 1996, Pak vs India, match was under control by Pakistani bowlers for about 40 overs of indian innings, and then Jadeja gone mad, score shoot up, and then stupidness of Aamir Sohail during Pakistan's batting which I can never forget aur ab "Shana Bacha" ban ker tv per bak bak kerta hai.

2-T20 WC 2010 Semi Final, Pak vs Aus, Australian batsmen made 54 from 17 balls:o, Pak lost:(.

3-Yesterday's match.

[PuNk]

Yes THat WC was stunning too !
Never mind Chaps. Do you forgot Miandad 6 on last ball or Abdul Razzaq Inning in SA ?
Both are international test playing teams

[mirza_yasir]

^^^yes and one positive that we can take from yesterday's match that it was not knock out stage, thanks God:)

[PuNk]

Yes So lets move forward !!!!
Kamran Bhai, Bohat hogaya mazak !!!
Chalain Lets show them what we are capable of
Pakistan Zindabaad !

[Lahoreee]

thats why my title is , Pakistan Zindabad

+1

[mehrozniazi1]

next vs zim

[zank]

A big blow to Pakistan's net run rate, if position is to be decided on run rate Pakistan will certainly come on number 4. Its pretty hard to recover from this run rate.

Dont worry, this makes the point table in such a way that we are likely to face India in Quater Finals. In all the most probable ways India is going to top the chart after England's defeat and draw and PK will be on the 4th slot due to the RR lag after this NZ match.
So get prepared, its time to avenge 1996. I won't care for the cup, if we thrash them with a significant margin in the Quater Finals, that too at their home ground! I just want one bloody GOOD game from them.
And for the satta groups, the betting would be bigger in volume then the whole tournament!

Srilankan opener missed the world record by 6 runs for first wicket partnership

Well that was Taylor's birthday last match. And in the next one its the Zimbabwe captain's birthday
I wonder if Akmal is going to give another birthday gift

On a serious node, we should stick with Kamran Akmal now, rather than replacing him with Umer Akmal behind the stumps, it will only increase the severity of the problem. Waqar Younus is right, we need not to panic. Should utilize whatever time there is to improve. Thats the very team which performed in last 2 matches. We still have to improve in death over bowling dept, opening partnership, Utilization (ya phir disposal) of Razzaq. Striking spin dept Ajmal vs. Rehman, more particular role of Hafeez, chasing big total mentality, shot selections of 90% of batsmen etc etc...
So please stop fingering Kamran Akmal, yeh I know he was not a good choice, but as our selectors did not choose any other options, lets now stick to what we have OR break his arm/leg/head and ask for an exchange

[genius83]

Srilanka vs Zimbabwe
Srilanka won comfortably
Final Score
Srilanka 327/6 in 50 Overs
Zimbabwe 188/10 in 39 Overs

Today match hopefully will bring the confidence of Pakistan back !

i doubt that there will QF of Pak vs India but soon we'll know. But india has a nice team but most important factor is their captain, he is very cool and calm person, intelligent and vise. But still if a Pak vs India match comes up it will be a very tough one for both teams, in my opinion India will win it, they have great record against us in WC. But my prayers are always for Pakistan and today i got a massage that i should pray for shoaib from his brother, so i m gonna pray for shoaiby although he is not my favorite player.
