I saw his interview with Manjrekar today. Shoiab was so down to earth, polite, realistic etc etc. He was fully aware of his and teams limitations yet knew what was needed to get the job done.
I must say he had very polite confidence and I was impressed by his attitude. All the best Paskistan for he finals.
Although you must also understand we can not allow those who send terrorists to us to make money in tournaments such as IPL.
I think the bogy language of afridi and his attitude has bought pak into the finals he is a bundle of energy on the field. SA missed a trick by sending duminy ahead of big hitters like morkel and boucher.
Afridi was just superb today. The dedication and passion for playing for the country was very visible. Hats off, superb performance. Afridi and Umer Gul are pakistani heroes in this tournament.
Btw, I am an Indian who is sick of money minded shameless Indian cricketers.

And where is Porkistan? Jerking off to T20 while spreading its legs for anyone with a dollar to spare.
Yes ofcourse Indians players are doing more ads and earning more money. In between while describing them some people uses the term PATRIOTISM.Can they define what it is actually? Those who burn effigies of players in the name of patriotism also burn trains and buses that causes maximum loss to our Indian Government.Is that Patriotism? Despite many hoardings that say "NO PARKING" citizens of India park their vehicles. Is that Patriotism? Getting up late and going to office by violating many traffic rules-Is that Patriotism?Talking over phone while driving-indisciplined driving-Is that patriotism?Starting from labour class to Small scale bussiness man to MNCs all behave irresponsibly.Above all the salaried class also behaves hypocratically. This is the truth. Before blaiming anyone or calling others less patriots let us refine ourselves. Waving Indian falg or applying tri-colour on the face whenever India plays a cricket match is alone not called as Patriotism.Obeying the rules of the land is called Patriotism or higher patriotism.

yesterday Afridi played a good innings. Our own Yuvi might have also played in the same style but thanks to Dhoni, Yuvi never got enough overs and was under pressure from the begining. Dhoni was not making any mistakes, he was making blunder after blunder.

Mahesh there was a news item in a pvt tv channel where it shows an nz player weeping for his teams(read his countries) defeat and on the other side indian players are chating with at most glee even after their shameless defeat and back in home millions of cricket fans mourn for this unexpected defeat. I don't think indian team have any regret on their defeat and they were in england for just holiday.

Priyardarshan, I am not praising anyone nor abusing anyone. India lost T20 because of incorrect approach. Sending Jadeja ahead of Y.Pathan or Yuvraj was a big mistake. I do not think their commitment was lacking and hence should not be called as less patriots.

Meerazherali, Almost the same team ofcourse except for Shewag who was injured and the same captain M.S.Dhoni won the T20 world cup in 2007. You mean to say they were much bothered about winning or losing in 2007 and not in 2009. Or were they not doing any commercial ads in 2007 when they brough T20 worldcup in 2007.Answer me please.

I totally agreed with you Sir, appreciated.
Also one thing I point out many times, if India collect at least 50% of tax properly from business men (esply in mid range) will be a huge money for govt and people of India.
Another thing is corruption in municipal city corporation area should be handle
Proper governence, do not vote on the basis of religion, and netas should not be allowed to speak on religion divide India and collect vote, Vote on the basis of development corruption etc..
However why we think this after retirement, we should start thinking on this at the young age.
Mahesh, I am not pointing at you alone, we all are like that only Sir.
Watch out ! the West Indies should probably enter the finals cos after a long-long gap the Windies bowlers are finding the Calypso charm in their rhythm and the batsmen are hitting with some RAW power. The world needs to pay attention to this resurgent Windies team who have perhaps, revived the motivation level as like the Windies team of 70's or 80's.
