Mar 23 - Pakistan v West Indies (Quarter-Final 1)

Their lowest total is 93 in 1996 World Cup against Kenya. :p

They deserved that defeat as they were complacent...:mad

Kenya scored some 160+....in fact,last 5 overs instead of the main strike bowlers some batsmen were bowling...clear indication of over-confidence...
 
:facepalm 112/all out. Don't know what to put it down to - great bowling or god-awful batting. Will give it a mixture of the two.

But what a bowling attack!! :clap Get Australia all-out for below 200 and to follow it up with a better performance in the quarters. And it's just not Afridi and Gul. The composition works so well - Ajmal, Hafeez and Razzaq have all proven to be wicket-takers as well. Just drop Riaz for Akhtar.
 
Some good bowling, but some of the batting was really weak. The early LBW's caused by playing bat with pad and not in front of.
 
Pitch conditions matter a lot. This Mirpur track is very bowling-friendly. Its difficult to bat on for batsmen.

Oh I don't know if it was bowling-friendly enough to justify Mohammad Hafeez having figures of 10-3-16-2. WTF, mate? WI might as well curl up in a ball and go...do whatever. It hardly matters now.

Good thing I picked Pakistan to win in the office pool. Afridi and Gul did their bit so I won't come up in the bottom half on the players rankings, even though Gayle didn't do anything and Roach has nothing to work with.
 
This is what I wanted! An overconfident Pakistani side going into the semis and choking there.
 
Appalling display by the West Indies Team and the Mirpur crowd for supporting some other team like Losers.

Such irony there. Mirpur crowd are losers because they are supporting a neutral side? I like Indians generally and have a lot of Indian friends, but its guys like you who give them a bad name
 
@ Sachin - The crowd in Mirpur should be given due respect to turn out to a neutral game like this.

Really feel pity on you for calling them losers

given the way the west indies just came out and half-arsedly tried to blast their way through their run chase against england like they just wanted to go back to the hotel I don't blame them.
 
West Indies annihilated but I hope our team does not get overconfident. I would have preferred a less dominating performance. Now bring it on India or Australia. Pakistan should never drop Ajmal. He could be the trump card for Semis.
 
Pakistan seem to be completely destroying teams (kenya, Zim, Ban, Aus) unlike teams like India who weren't so dominant even against the 'minnows'. They have a very good chance of taking the trophy. They, along with SA, are playing like champion teams.
