Pakistan Confirms its place in Semi Final

They went into the World Cup 2011 as the sixth best team, yet after the quarter final stage, Pakistan has emerged as undoubtedly the best side in the mega event. From a side that didn't have its main opening batsmen Salman Butt and opening bowlers Mohammad Aamir and Mohammad Asif, Shahid Afridi's men have come a long way by reaching the last four.

It is how they reached the last four that is more interesting. Luck deserted the West Indian skipper Darren Sammy as soon as he decided to bat first on the pitch where they bowled out Bangladesh for just 58 runs. Despite the inclusion of Chris Gayle, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Kemar Roach, the West Indians fell like a pack of cards when they batted. Not only were they unable to match the guile of Umar Gul but were bamboozled by the spin trio of Pakistan. Mohammad Hafeez opened the bowling - as well as the batting later - and kept the batsmen in check. He accounted for Devon Smith and Darren Bravo to finish with figures of two for 16 in 10 overs. Umar Gul's 7 overs cost him 13 and got him the prized scalp of the danger man Chris Gayle. Saeed Ajmal claimed 2 wickets for 18 runs on his return while Abdur Razzaq got one in his 3 overs. The show was ruled by the Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi who took his 4th haul of four or more wickets during the event to dismantle the West Indian batting as well as take his tally of wickets to 21, the highest in the tournament this year. He was instrumental in restricting the clueless visitors from the Caribbean to just 112, their third lowest score in the history of the World Cup.

Pakistan seemed like a changed team when it was their time to chase the modest target. Never a good chaser in one dayers, the two openers Mohammad Hafeez and Kamran Akmal stood still as if the very existence of Pakistan depended on them. They scored 113 runs without being dismissed, managing to keep the bad balls away and keeping themselves away from the good ones. For the first time in the history of the mega event, Pakistan defeated the former world champions by the margin of 10 wickets. They had lost 6 matches to them out of 8 before this match, but today they lessened the margin by batting with resolute and common sense. 

Mohammad Hafeez was declared the Man of The Match for his lion-hearted performance. He gave his best performance as did the other 10 members of the squad, and if they continue to do well, there is nothing in this world that could stop Pakistan from regaining the Cup that was once theirs!.

India - Pakistan semifinal clash at Mohali?

 The prospect of high profile India-Pakistan semi final clash at Mohali, is it day dreaming or going to be a reality. If this match takes place it is going to be a great occasion and both the countries, India and Pakistan if not the whole cricketing world come to a stand still. 

Pakistan will most probably overcome West Indies seeing the present form of West Indies. It is going to be bit difficult for India as they have to overcome the defending champions not once but thrice in a row. 

Although the aussies are not the same force they used to be and India if they play to their potential can certainly win the match hands down. How about you guys looking forward to India Pakistan clash at Mohali in semi finals?

As you have been known that Australia is one of the tough and strong team when compare with India, especially in the bowling action and they have proved that at so many times in real game, again they are the only and one team has large number of records without any defeat in the world cup history and it has been broken by PAKISTAN in the year of 1999, again they have maintained their records from 1999 to till this year of 2011, and again it has been broken and beaten by PAKISTAN. 

So it is not so easy to win Australia and again this is a game and anything will happened and we have to wait and see the real result. With records to Pakistan they are one of the strongest mind peoples in this world and they can do anything if they are looking for especially to win the cup of this year 2011, so it is also tough and can wait for the good result. So everyone would need to wait for the real result with the record and to enjoy the feedback.

Well I am already seeing this match in mohali because I think India has the potential to defeat Australians. How? 

I Know That Australia will go all out to defend their Crown but they did not have enough Fighter's in their team. Their bowling is lethal but India have power blasters. 

What India have extra to defeat Aussie's? 

Its true Indian bowling is lacking ability to out opponent teams but they have ability to chase out any total which Australia lacking right now. 

So I think we are going to witness biggest Semi Final of all times in Cricket History. So get ready and have fun. cheers

Have a warm day.

Three matches to win, can England do it?

England has had to struggle the hardest to reach the QF and all the struggle will not go in vain. If only they had managed to retain the services of Broad and Pieterson they really would be the dark horses at this stage. I think England can do it, what you say?

England is one team which has seen ups and downs in this WC and still managed to make it to the QF. It is credit worthy to have defeated SA and tied with India. Let us forget their losses to the minnows BD and Ireland. 

The only thing that bothers me is the absence of Broad and Pieterson , those two would have been handy from here on. I think they are a dangerous side and have the motivation to knock out the Pakistanis who have out performed themselves. But the bubble has to burst and England should be the team to burst the bubble. 

But their problem is consistency and the non performance of Collingewood.

The way they are coming out from hard matches I think they have luck with them. So some times team who seems to be struggling can burn all dreams of opponents. So I think do not take England lightly although their previous record they are the looser's in big games but who know's, Its Crazy Cricket which you never can predict.
