Appreciate Riaz's 5-fer - nominating KK's Man of Match - forget the other bashing

So every ones so caught up in the loss annd bashing Misbah, that Wahab’s 5 wicket haul is pretty much being missed. One thread was opened but with a slightly different mindset.

So stop the bashing, and appreciate this achievement. I don’t care about ICC, in my mind he is the Man of the Semifinal.

The ball he bowled to Yuvraj was a Jaffa :hbk:

Wahab Riaz :hbk:

Yuvraj's inning.

Re: Appreciate Riaz’s 5-fer - nominating KK’s Man of Match - forget the other bashing

That was not even an innings :hehe:

yep :k:

Re: Appreciate Riaz's 5-fer - nominating KK's Man of Match - forget the other bashing

Each and every ball worth its weight in gold....

unfortunately the batting and fielding let the fans down...

Re: Appreciate Riaz’s 5-fer - nominating KK’s Man of Match - forget the other bashing

Only wish Umar Gul had bowled similarly, otherwise great bowling by Wahab :k:

Re: Appreciate Riaz’s 5-fer - nominating KK’s Man of Match - forget the other bashing

Only wish Pakistani team had washed their hands after having butter chicken in lunch when they came out to field …

Re: Appreciate Riaz's 5-fer - nominating KK's Man of Match - forget the other bashing

Bad planning....Aleem dar thinks the same way...

Re: Appreciate Riaz’s 5-fer - nominating KK’s Man of Match - forget the other bashing

Gul has always been expensive in crucial matches …Remember vs NZ in CT 09 and vs India in CT 09 too :smack:

Re: Appreciate Riaz’s 5-fer - nominating KK’s Man of Match - forget the other bashing

Umar Gul for the splendid over he bowled against Sehwag :k:

Re: Appreciate Riaz’s 5-fer - nominating KK’s Man of Match - forget the other bashing

Kohli in the kholi 9 from 21 balls…and then surrendering to Wahab.

Re: Appreciate Riaz's 5-fer - nominating KK's Man of Match - forget the other bashing

Great bowling by Wahab Riaz...I little bit suspected that before the beginning of the tourney...but wonder why he has to sit out in a few matches...the management?

PS: The potential Junaid Khan was never tried...why? That's not the way to introduce and enhance the Squad by the future players...

Re: Appreciate Riaz's 5-fer - nominating KK's Man of Match - forget the other bashing

Wahab bowled really well in the SF. Him, Umar Gul and Junaid should form our pace attack in the Windies. And Saeed Ajmal should be our first choice spinner in tests IMO

Re: Appreciate Riaz's 5-fer - nominating KK's Man of Match - forget the other bashing

I personally think he is mesmerizing even in ODIs. Didn't he totally outwit the batting side that is known to play spin very very well? He needs to be in the ODI side as and when the pitches suit spin. His doosra was unreadable.

Re: Appreciate Riaz's 5-fer - nominating KK's Man of Match - forget the other bashing

Wasim Akram had said in the early part of the world cup that all Wahab needs to work on is how to get the ball to come back into the right hander when he bowls over the wicket. I think the one he bowled to sehwag was a bit like that.
