ICC 2010 Twenty20 World Cup THREAD

IPL is not a method to learn about T20 cricket

IPL is all about Money and nothing else

Last year Pakistan did not play IPL and won the world cup - India played IPL and were exit from the first round

IPL is good for nothing

No man. Some good quality cricket was played in IPL. We found so many bright young stars like Murali Vijay.

Anyways, lets see. Pakistan are still through to Super 8 'coz to expect Bangladesh to beat Oz is just silly.
 
. .
Well, they didn't play like one today

We did play like the champions - it was just like Aussies proved to be better team for today......... we did not lose in humiliation. We were able to score around 160 in response which is a good score in T20.

Plus we too had some moments to enjoy and where you could see Pakistan may take the match away - For example when Afridi and Misbah were on crease - they were playing good :)

And last but not least - The last over by Mohammad Amir can only come from a quality team and not minnows like Zimbabwe or Afghanistan

Just one catch drop of the guy who hit 4 sixes in the next over took the match away , Butttttttttttttt :angry:

Butt isn't able to move his butt properlyon the field

Every team in the world got one player in its squad,where u can be sure, he will score sth (Kallis SA, Watson AUS,Gayle WI), but it is always a lottery with Pak batting
 
.
3 catches were dropped (2 by Misbah and 1 by Salman). Kamran Akmal missed run out opp.

These all things count, bowlers become disoriented when catches are dropped and that is what happened. Fawad Alam should have been tried instead of Hafeez or Sami.

Thank God this will not stop Pakistan from going to the next round. I hope Afridi would learn some lessons today.

Aamer delivers five-wicket maiden

There was a bizarre finish to the Australia innings as five wickets fell for no runs in the final over, from Pakistan's left-arm quick Mohammad Aamer during their Group A match at the Beausejour Stadium, St. Lucia.



Brad Haddin was caught off the first ball, Mitchell Johnson clean bowled off the second with both Michael Hussey and Steven Smith run out by direct hits from wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal as they tried to run byes. Tait survived the fifth ball but was bowled off the last for nought. Aamer finished with three for 23 from his four overs.



Aamer's feat is yet another bowling record for Pakistan in Twenty20 internationals and prompted former Australian captain Ian Chappell to say, “I don't think I'll get over saying 'five-wicket maiden', ever.”
