Mubarak ho o every jubilant Paki cricket fans, well after a long time pakaistan has won all their league matches and easily made their place in the finals, well ye kafi arse ke baaad hua hai … jahan tak mera khayal hai Pakistan playing in Sharjah has alays struggled in their first 2 matches and come out to be winners of that tournament but it is different this time!
khair masha Allah it was a nice performance, n i hope they go ahead to win the finals, isha Allah
I really feel that victories in Sharjah mean very little.And especially when atleast one of the opponents (i.e. NewZealand ) is playing a half-strength side. Pakistan's victories against Sri Lanka though certainly a morale-booster are still not yard-sticks to judge the over-all team ability.The real test would come in a more professional setting in England.
I am kindaa surprised that Waqar has been named the captain for this series.Has he been among the wickets lately.Its the same in the sub-continent when it comes to cricket. A couple of victories and the media heaps praises, the captain of the day can do nothing wrong....a few losses and you know what...so I think its early days yet to say anything about the Pakistani team.....

Chillie, look at the pakistani side currently in the tournament, 60% of the team are the new guys so you can't say anyhing about the half strength. Beating Srilanka not once but twice is not a fluke that just certainly proves that Pakistan is a better team.
well at the moment the the Pakistanis are also not a full strength team regarding experience wise, its just the 2 batsmen so u cant just say that winning against SL n the also the NZ side with faces was easy, i guess they are workin hard on it!
well i know it will be a big task in the coming series against Englan n the big guns Australia, well i dont mind they loose but i would definately like to see them perform n get the best out of themselves!
well Pakistan comin in the final with a 100% record didnt help in the final, as it wasnt a morale booster it was an over confidence, n in the past Pakistan hasnt evr come into a final with winnin the first to gaems in SHJ, so it was the other way round this yr!
