Difficult one but i would go for Youhanna. He set up the total for the bowlers to have a go at the Zimbabwe batting line up.

khallaaaas, Pakistan won by TEN wickets :slight_smile: :smiley:
:k:

** Pakistan win by 10 wickets**

Well Played :)

Now for teh big and real test against SA.

8.3 Olonga to Saleem Elahi, one run, tickled to fine leg and Pakistan
win the second test and the series 2-0

Ten Wickets Win is always great :)

MOM goez to sqlain i think

Rightlyfully deserved award for Saqlain, he bowled superbly well, Big knock by Youhana was good but taking 10 wickets on such track was always a tough task.
I can not wait for the one day series, Pakistan should win 4-1, I would love 5-0 victory.

The best part about the tournament is the bowling of Waqar, he bowled well and showing signs of improvement, I think his test bowling is still alot better than one day.
He will be a gem in South Africa, I simply can't wait to see Shoaib, Wasim, Waqar bowl on green and bouncy tracks of South Africa.

Pakistan WON by 10 Wickets

Well played by Pakistan. Good bowling by Waqar, and everyone else, and good batting by Youhana, Taufeeq, Inzamam, and Kamran. As Umair said it would be nice to see Pakistan win all 5 one odi's, so it can be a clean sweep. Saleem Elahi doesn't deserve a place in the team. When they need him to play, he doesnt perfrom, and when Pakistan needed just 57 runs to win, he smashed 30 from 25 bowls.

Hooray for Pakistan
another victory… let’s hope they keep playin like this…
:k:
It was good all round perfermance… gr8 batting & bowling…

can’t wait for the one-days… hope its a sweep…

Gret and Efficeint display by Pakistan :k:
Saleem Elahi made his highest score of 30 in ths match :hehe: He shouldnt be in the team, no doubt about it, But Pybus saab is in love with Elahi somewhat… :mad: I hope he is dropped forever :),

And i would love to see the comments from Waqar’s continuous critics…
Theri claim might be that he tok his wickets against Zim , :hehe: But the fact isthat hi s bowlign style is suited to SA-Zim conditions, so he might be back ot his ownself pretty soon!
