IF PAK cant chase this..i will just give up on cricket..

Dead right. You've said it for me too buddy! They better win this one, no matter what!!

Indeed great performance by Pakistan with the ball & in the field. They deserve a decent win today!

Kamran Akmal has done a better job behind the stumps this time. However the opening of Pakistani batsman is still a problem for the team. Asad Shafiq is atleast quite sensible in his game if not a big hitter. The batsman should go for singles rather than big hits and getting stumped. Currently they require arpound 3 runs an over. I hope INSHALLAH (God willing) Pakistan would end the 12 years winning streak of the Ausies who are definately a world class team, but a shadow of their glorious past. I am talking about the Glen McGRaw and Adma Gilchrist, Haiden era. I think their 12 years winning streak would end in this worldcup and I hope it is the Packs who does take this title.

AMAZING play by PAK..lovely.. so happy..
Was so tired by the Aus dominance of over a decade..

Great game from Pakistan. They were the last one to beat Aussies before that streak started & they're the one to finish it.

Sorry Mr. Punter. You've had enough!!

The crazy thing is they'll probably end up winning the bloody thing again.

Lmao! No shit. That Martin, is very much possible! That crew is so damn professional & prepared for almost every scenario!

However, somehow their last defeat will sure make them worry & have them rethink their strategy towards upcoming games!

What a performance from Pakistan in today's game!! 2-thumbs-up for their bowling, specially Afridi. They deserved that win!

Waiting for tomorrow's big game! If India wins, than the semi-final against Pakistan will probably be the game-of-the-decade!!

Pakistan KILLIN IT!!!!...they ran over backed up and ran over Windies..

I hope india wins..its no WC if there is no Pak vs Ind

 

[ateekt]

Big game in progress today!! I really want India to win. If so, imagine, how big of a game the semi-final will be!!

 

[martinbo]

So Ponting steps up to the plate (figuratively of course - this is Cricket!) and scores a 104 after a previously lacklustre showing in ICC CWC 2011. This steers Australia to a defendable 260. Bugger.

India going along nicely at 74/1 14 overs though they need to be very careful not to lose wickets unnecessarily in the next 10-15 overs. Go Sachin Little Master!

Eh... all you Aussie haters!

Go AUSTRALIA!!

 

[Beemer B773ER]

This one's for the lot of ya!!

 

[Monster]

Eh... all you Aussie haters!

Go AUSTRALIA!!

Hell yeah!!

But the general mood of the Australian public is fairly negative, the majority of the press predicted Australia will lose this game.

It is going to be a close one.

 

[Beemer B773ER]

Looks like it's gonna go down to the last over the way it's going right now!

 

[Beemer B773ER]

Oh dear.... the Aussie's are letting this game slip awayyyyy........

 

[LaArtist]

Sorry for our aussie friends..but its nice to see their dominance broken..nothing is fun when its one sided

 

[fortuner]

Índia vs pakis what a match that will be lets hope its peacful.

 

[ateekt]

Haters? I'd rather say ballers!!

Folks, we've got ourselves the most most exciting & awaited game of the decade in the 2nd semi-final..!!

Pakistan vs India... That's real cricket. The real excitement. The real show!!

 

[martinbo]

Well done India. Great result for a deserving side.

 

[NarutoRamen]

WOO!! India beat the Aussies!!! WOO!!

Sorry, had to get that out of the way. LOL

Knowing the competition between India and Pakistan...that is going to be one HELL of a fight. I just hope both sides play cleanly. No BSing around fellas.
