Pakistan - twice in thrillers.
England
South Africa
Australia

The boys in blue kicked some serious ass.

    I wouldnt even question Misbah on the last shot.I think that was the right shot.He played it pretty well before in the tournament.It just didnt come off last night.But no worries.We're taking the 2011 worldcup home:stuckup:

    man if u can hit such gigantic sixes straight down the ground over long-on/long-off then why would u need to try low percentage shots like that...

    You actually would have no right to. He's not to blame, without him, yall werent even close to getting there. So if this Pakistani innings had any semblance of making a respectable chase of it, it's all thanks to Ul-Haq. Well, not so sure about you taking the 2011 cup home, espesh if India's playing host alongwith Dhoni's devils. :)

    Like I said, you cant question his decision making at that stage. He had to be inventive, with just one wicket in hand, and he knew rotating the strike was not really an option. Grant him that - had he gotten out any earlier, you wouldn't have even made 120.

    No one should question Misbah's shot selectionYou're spot on when you say that we would have probably lost by 50 odd runs had it not been for his innings.He did brilliantly to get us so close.And hopefully we'd play Dhoni's side at a full house in Lahore in the semis,and revenge for Bangalore would be on the cards where a Six by Amir Sohail would silenced the entire stadium,and the a wicket by Prasad caused an eruption:cool:
