aussie @#&%#&%!@#$%$&^#!@%!@%%&&^!@$#

With stats like that, the Aussies deserved the win.

India vs Srilanka match repeated for final over. Poor Ajmal...

Better luck (?) next time. LOL pakistanis...

Re: 2nd Semi-Final: Pakistan v Australia - May 14, 10

It has been said before but it's worth repeating here. John Arlott had written about it in 1948 at the end of a successful tour of England by Don Bradman's men. ""Australianism," wrote Arlott, "means single-minded determination to win - to win within the laws but, if necessary, to the last limit within them. It means where the 'impossible' is within the realm of what the human body can do, there are Australians who believe that they can do it - and who have succeeded often enough to make us wonder if anything is impossible to them. It means they have never lost a match - particularly a Test match - until the last run is scored or their last wicket down."

Spare a thought for Pakistan, though. What guts they showed. What a game they played. Yet they lost.

Afridi: "It was a very good total. The way the White and Hussey played .. they played mature and good innings. We perhaps lost it in the last over. Ajmal has bowled really well in this tournament ... Kamran and Salman gave us a good start and Umar then played really well."

Clarke: "Michael Hussey is absolute freak. He and White played superbly. Once Cameron got out I thought It was going to be really tough but with Hussey in you never know. We thoughts if we have wicketrs in hand we can chase. BUt after losing three quick wickets, I thought it was going to be difficult. People will enjoy our win today and I can't wait to get to Barbados! I need some runs. I do."

Sir Khod A Lot your analysis has one problem.

it is atleast a relief we didnt go out like the Indians, Sri Lankans and West Indians against Australia. A creditable performance, going out like title defenders should.

Re: 2nd Semi-Final: Pakistan v Australia - May 14, 10

That Makes Aussies Different from other Countries

Today I Salute Michael Hussey

:salute:

Re: 2nd Semi-Final: Pakistan v Australia - May 14, 10

can anyone plz tell me why ajmal was given the last over???????

Re: 2nd Semi-Final: Pakistan v Australia - May 14, 10

I think the last 2 or 3 overs were carelessly bowled...because Pakistan were sure at that stage that they were going to win...hmmmmmmmmm

Re: 2nd Semi-Final: Pakistan v Australia - May 14, 10

It's a comforting thought really that once you know how to win, you can always come back in the game, of sports or life. A great lesson for the rest of us.

Pakistan played really well , but just got relaxed at the end . Aamer didnt bowled 19th over well. Last over any thing is possible ....
Afsoooossssss

me tooo, yeh Allah ne saza de hai.

Re: 2nd Semi-Final: Pakistan v Australia - May 14, 10

the last time i was so dejected was when Pak lost to India …in the 1st t20 cup :crying:

I will remember this match forever. A great game!!!

we just can't seem to win against the Aus no matter what. Even if they had to score 100 runs in 10 balls they would find a way against us! I'm just stunned! Perhaps this must be the most painful WC for me. We lost two really close games!

Re: 2nd Semi-Final: Pakistan v Australia - May 14, 10

A great game, I really enjoyed it even though we lost it but we went down fighting. Kudos to Aussies for never giving up !
