The indian bowlers were good in matches were the conditions were beneficial. Lets see if they do that well in conditions which dont help swing that much. |

What?? 1010 world cup? Are you kidding? I have never heard about this before..it doesn't sound very nice though....stick with 2020 cricket. 2020 cricket so short already....a 1010 cricket match would be like what 1 hour? that's insane!

Nothing to choose between the two. My gut feeling is the side fielding first will have the advantage and it will be Its more than just a cricket match here in |

Well...I myself don’t really rate T20 any serious cricket...rather it could only prove harmful for the game!!! But yes, India Pak involved…pride comes there!! Of course you cannot think like an Indian or a Paki that is why you just don’t get it. Isn’t the Ashes more than just a test series for you guys?? Here in 143 n.o. Had Aussies made into the finals and won it…I am sure you would have posted that We the Aussies are champs in all forms of the game and the Mickey mouse aspect would have been ignored big |

you actually provide some good points there, though i'm sure he's been doubting this game from the start- entertaining, but not 'real enough', eh?

The way they held ICC World Cup few months back was awful. This twenty 20 is better organized with a lot of excitment and thrill for masses. This has already made 50/50 vulnerable.
I am also not a big fan of 20/20, but having watched the matches closely I can clearly see the difference between domestic and International version. At the international level, it's much more professional and sophisticated. The teams with a game plan have better chances. Even the batsmen who slog all the times haven't proved to be the best of the lot. If you look a bit more closely, many of the shots resulting in the maximum were proper cricketing shots played by some really good batsmen. And the bowlers with better line and length and variety have succeeded too. Team with game plan have succeeded too. Look at Pakistan for example. Opening with Asif and Sohai, then after 6 over deploying spinners and then after twelve bringing Umer Gul into attack, this is a definite game plan. You can see some reall good cricket, only if you want to.

quite a gripping final in the end thanks to the heroics of Misbah but India just (and only just) held their nerve

Totally disappointed with the Pakistani batsmen...they should have won this match but they lost too many wickets.....especially disappointed in Afridi. He should have really fired today but he failed...it really shows how inconsistant he could be.

Yay! India have won the Twenty20 WC. That was 1 heck of a match and i had my heart in my mouth till the end.
Any old person might have got an heart attack. Excellent batting by Gambir and pathan took 3 wickets good bowling from him too. Well played pakistan though! |

fantastic match, congratulation to india. Although Pakistan lost but i am still happy that pakistan played good cricket throughout the tournament and win matches against quality sides like australia, srilanka, new zealand.
for me Pakistan lost because of
1) M.hafeez drop the catch
2) younis not take responsibilty as a senior player, he was also involved in imran nazir's runout.
3) poor display by pakistani batsman
what make me happy is that in this tournament pakistan found good players like gul(as a mature bowler), misbah, tanvir, fawwad alam etc. pakistan fielding also improved. Lawson did great job. Shoaib malik as a captain looking very good. now selector should take a step to bring new wicketkeeper in the team. i m not happy with akmal. we aso need a good opener.

Yes! India made it. Well played both teams. Good fight from Pakistan. Misbah nearly took them all the way. Pity I didn't subscribe for the game. Heck even Shah Rukh Khan was there (probably see him in a movie soon anyway). Didn't expect India to make it to the finals so didn't subscribe for it. coming to think of it I would not have been at home to watch the games anyway.
Good Luck to India for their upcoming series against Australia. Atleast Dravid will be back . Same for Pakistan for their series against South Africa. Edited by DRAVID FAN - 25 September 2007 at 1:07am |

That was close , Misbah could well have been the hero but he just
got a bit cute with that final shot. Lawson seems to have got Pakistan
smiling again and they can go home having played some good
cricket.
Both teams failed in the Caribbean and then make the finals in SA - funny that! Well done to Steve Elworthy and his team , the whole event went off really well. Good crowds , fine pitches and entertaining matches - can't ask for more than that. |

If you look at it again Nazir ran diagonally which meant he had to go a lot more than 22 yards, for which he has no one to blame but himself |

i am as a pakistani very happy for India. They played very good Cricket throughout the tournament. They deserved it. I can say the same for Pakistan. They also deserved to win the world cup. There was no difference. Maybe the fielding and the running between the Wickets what was crucial in the End. I feel so sorry for Misbah. He had it in his hands and he got the ball to hit straight six. It was a half-volley. He gave it away in the last minute. I hope that one bad shot dont affect his carreer. He was wasted a long time by Pakistan. I missed also Abdul Razzaq there in the Batting. He plays always with much more responsbility than Afridi. I cant understand the Promotion for Akmal. This helped only the opponents. Anyway it must be a good experience for the young side. Congratulations India. Well done. Pkistani Cricket Team make us also very much proud of them. Go and win the next Cup. You deserve it too |

yes he ran diagonally but what everyone including yunus knew that imran had a problem in running so there was no need to take close run, already pakistan scored 8 or 9 runs in that over.

he was out by about a foot but ran around 2 yards more than he needed to. You work it out.

Pakistan could have very easily won had their players thought more sensibly.
Hafeez was trying to run the ball to third man when there was a wide slip. Kamran Akmal- Beautiful delivery by RP! He had no chance! Imran Nazir- Was playing well before he got run out. (as discussed above) Younus Khan- Knows that he is not a big hitter, should have just knocked around singles and rotated strike. Simple catch to Y Pathan. Shoaib Malik- He had to take responsibility. Didn't arouse to the situation. Got out due to some good bowling by Pathan full of variations. Shahid Afridi- Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Had he stayed there for some while knocking around singles and hitting the odd boundary and blast in the last 2-3 overs if required...and Pakistan would have won the T20 Cup. Arafat- Tried well! Lack of batting skill did him. Can't blame him much S Tanvir- Two good sixes. He did his very best before he got bowled by a peach of a delivery by Sreesanth U Gul- ![]() Misbah Ul Haq- He is a great batsman for Pakistan. He will be the key for Pakistan in the future. What a wonderful knock. Could have taken his team to victory had he not tried that shot. One would have to ask, why would he want to hit a cheeky shot for 4 when he could hit huge sixes with slogs as well as proper cricket shots. He tried his level best though! |

I hope India stick with youth from now on. Its youths turn to continue in India cricketing future. Out with the old and in with the new. the youngers can do what the elder can not do any more, the basics of cricket.
