Good that I was not watching the match, or else I would have broken TV when these guys kept dropping catches! :D

But well played both teams. Better team on the day won. Gratz India.

Pak team well done to reach semis, thanks for all the entertainment and we are still very proud of you!

So you think a player who batted with luck and four dropped catches deserves MOM. Give me a break. He is a great player but not today. So dont get carried away. he simply did not deserve the MOM.

actually I am coming to the conclusion that we have the best batting line up NOT to score huge totals but to prevent embrassing totals. somebody or others shows up with a 50 or 75 to pull us past 180 - so we are playing a portfolio of batsmen hoping 20% come thru!

What happened to your 400 and 500 in 20 overs.

Razzaq has been a big disappointment, he was mainly there to make runs and he didnt do anything in the whole tournament.

Re: 2nd Semi-Final: Pakistan v India at Mohali, Wed March 30

What “could have been” is not important. It was a difficult wicket to bat and the ball was not coming to the batsmen, so Sachin’s knock under those circumstances was great :k: No other player from either team crossed 50.

And as I said, MoM is the player who impacts the result the most and today that was Sachin. If not Sachin, it should have been Raina. Wahab might have bowled well but the Pakistani fielding and batting ensured that his achievement today came to naught.

P.S. Actually Misbah did cross 50, but it was a useless innings IMO

look like the cup is design for Tendulkar....1. the hawkeye 2. Man of the match 3. and final in bombay

Re: 2nd Semi-Final: Pakistan v India at Mohali, Wed March 30

The way India Fielded showed that pressure didnt get to them. Hafeez started good and only guy who showed some postive attitude was Umar Akmal. Fielding was horrible :(.

if we thought that rivalry was hot during this match then just wait for the final now........

La_Parisienne · March 30, 2011, 5:40pm

Re: 2nd Semi-Final: Pakistan v India at Mohali, Wed March 30

I actually would given the MOM to Wahab Riaz (the bowler). With Umar Gul being destroyed and Shoab not in the team, but for Wahab this match would have been a no-contest, so IMO he made the most telling contribution.

But i am not sure if they select MOM for the result (in which case it should have been Raina) or for the process (in which case Wahab).

I cannot see how an 85 run batting is better than 5 wicket haul of some of the best batsmen in the world

how does one design the hawkeye for Tendulkar?

Re: 2nd Semi-Final: Pakistan v India at Mohali, Wed March 30

Agree.

I said this before and I have been proven right today.

India's for all its supposed batting might - has a very fragile middle order.

Inconsistent Kohli, unreliable Yuvraj and out-of-form Dhoni.

Ehsan is right - if Tendulkar was dismissed earlier - India would have been looking at a less than 200 total.
