welll i have a question mark on afridi's captaincy when hafeez was getting hammering why he did not changed him and when sami bowled his first over for 7 runs why he dident continued with him and why razzaque never bowled than why you play him as all rounder better play a batsman and why you bringed ajmal tooo late why keep giving juicy bowlers to feed aussies and i dont seee any place for hafeez and sami in the team for sure i hope asif will be back and also khalid latif

Same questions went through my mind. It was almost the same way in which Pak was getting hammering from Bdesh batters and it was just by Ashraful's own mistake that he threw his wicket. Otherwise Afridi did not look like he would go over the top of situation and change any thing like field placing and bowling wtc....

When Hafeez started getting smacked all over, Afridi once again did not do anything as he would have been confident that the game plan they have set would work automatically. Which obvioulsy didnt.

But having said so much about it. The bottom line is : Had mr butterfingers Salman Butt held on to an easy catch, Sami wouldnt have been hit for 4 sixes in one over, which basically took the game totally away from us.

Hope for a better show in the next round....

Pakistan lost against Australia because they simply played better than them on that day. It happens sometimes. The result doesn't matter, we'll see if the Australian team maintains their form in the Super 8s. If they do, India has a serious challenge on its hands.

Nah, I would say, watch out for pakistan, as they are un predictable.... Aussies are tough but pakistan is tougher

Hey another centurion! Mahela Jayawardene hit a century against Zim today! Sri Lanka made 173/7.

But ti looks like the effort might be in vain. Its raining cats and dogs out there. And if Zim beats NZ or that match also rains out, SL will be kicked out

looks like trouble is waiting for Srilanka if zimbabve wins its other match. Run rate of srilanka is bad.

Given the form they are in I have no doubt that they are going to be a most potent opponent...Yes Pakistan team is unpredictable but what i know about Aussies is that they are consistent...In case they continued the form they are in it is very difficult to beat them as they tend to manage pressure far better than South Asian teams...

New Zealand +0.258

how they have such a huge run rate because they won by only 14 run,, and lost their 1st match.

Eng 66/2 6.3 overs...we are heading for another huge score if England keeps its wickets intact

0.355 is not that huge...but chances of Zim qualifying are less than 5%
