i watched the entire match and they played fantastically!!! all for players when battin… just played so well. and their fielding has just improved soo much!!!
Well played Pak. Lets hope it does not go to their heads and they perform equally well tomorrow. afridi was awesome, but he needs to be a consistent performer. Both Inzi and Saeed played very well. For once Saeed played a chanceless innings.
I watched the match.. and Pakistan played REALLY well..
Ok so their batting was nice.. bowling hard to get something accomplished, but the show of the day was not Shahid Afridi's 6's.. but Pakistan's fielding.
Pakistan I would rate as the world's worst fielding team.
What they did on the field was amazing.. I thought we had switched spots with the Sri Lankan.
Though when Saeed and Inzi were batting. At their 60's and 70's, Saeed wanted a single on the last ball of the over, and Inzi turned his back, or when Saeed hit a huge shot good enough for 2 runs, Inzi went only for the one and too turned his back.
This kept occuring.. which really annoyed me.
Looked like they were competiting for who will score the biggest score ?
