Re: Congratulations
Why you guys so happy, its QF this is where the real WC starts, and belie ve me i do not expect Pak to do anything, they will be out, sorry to break your heart guys i am a big Pakstan cricket fan but trust me our team does not have what it takes to win pressure games.

Four teams will get knocked out in qtr finals and two in semi finals so what is the big deal. I am sure many here did not even think we would make it to the qtrs either. As for pressure games depends, like NZ they folded but SL they didnt, so generalising is not quite right.

Ehsan bhai i am as big of a Pak cricket fan as you are i hope, but when we played SL their 2nd best bowler Malinga was out plus we batted first and we won the game in final over if i can recall it correctly, and as far as the WC format goes it sucks, now the real fun games will sart " BASICALLY WHO CAN PERFORM UNDER PRESSURE" and Pakistan's reputation is not so good under pressure, I still have Australia or SA winning the cup, my 4 semi finalist are Aussies, Lankans, Africans, and hate to say it parr Indians, i wish pakistan can win but just cannot see it happining, in 1992 the reason we won was because 4 great players in team 1)Imran (the leader or leaders) 2)Miandad (no matter how tense the situation was he would just be there to steer us home) 3) Inzi (played the 2 innings that he would remember always in life and in WC history) 4) Akram (the greatest fast bowler of world cricket).

True but in the knockout stages what happens on the day is what counts. In 1999 final we went to pieces in the final and lost it. In the T/20 tournament in UK no one gave Pakistan any chance because of the reason you mentioned and they won it. Looking at this world cup all the big teams apart form Australia have folded now and than so Pakistan is not alone. can they perform on the day, I hope so.

Ehsan bhai i dont think i can win this argument, so i will end it here, i do agree wit you by pakistan not having chance in 20/20 WC but they still won but 20/20 is a different game, however ODI is different game also need more temprament in middle overs, between 15 to 35 overs u need guys who can stay on the wicket guys like Younis, Misbah and Shafiq, i think pak should consider dropping Shahzad, below will be my playing 11 for Australia game, tell me what you think Ehsan bhai?
1) kamran akmal
2) Hafeez
3) Younis
4) Misbah
5) Umar Akmal
6) A Shafiq
7) Afridi
8) Razzaq
9) gul
10) Akhtar
11) Ajmal
Re: Congratulations
only if NZ lose against Sri Lanka as well. otherwise NZ will also have 10 points & they will top the group on superior NRR
Re: Congratulations
Reaching the QFs is not an achievement IMO. Gratefully no minnows have qualified from Group A. As for Group B, England have only themselves to blame for not having qualified already. It should never have come to the last game. For some reason England have played better against test sides than they have against minnows. Even the win against the Netherlands was a close-run thing.
I would celebrate only if we reach the semis. That w'd mean something esp. given the problems Pak cricket has had recently
Re: Congratulations
Congratulations, Pakistan!
