yesetrday Kallis was batting like Dhoni. I saw him nudging aroung when they needed almost 12.5 an over. Though he played some big strokes, I thought he could have played more aggressively. Smith is not fit for t20 and he was tottally out of form.

Harish.. stop praising. just bcos they have entered the semifinal, its not that other teams were not good. Only thing is that they were not good enough on that particular day. Pak has won and now u r descibing their domestic structure as best. cummon!

i just said their domestic structure is all t20s. does it mean it is best ?? i am not supporting pak .. i enjoy good cricket. and pak is playing that. as simple.
They simply not able to score of Umar Gul bowling after the first over which went for 10 runs. Ajmal tight line length. Afridi curcial wicket of AB De villiers.

Pakistan played better cricket through out the tournament than India. They are looking fresh and fit and they deserve to be in the finals. Indians on the other hand were completely burnt out after the IPL and looked jaded. Most of the players are unfit and still played in the WC. BCCI and IPL are to be blamed for the T-20 WC debacle.
After so many years I saw this batsman batting for so long . If Pak wants to win the final, they need another good inning from Afridi. But I believe if Srilanka qualifies for the final, its goig to be a gr8 final as both the teama have right combination, gud spinners, gud fast bowlers, big hitting batmen.

pak plays spin very well. in last match also(which they lost) they(younis and misbah) handled murli and mendis well.

Yes. CB series, NZ tour, Srilanka tour were the real success of team India rather than T-20 WC.

But as usal Pakistan had proved that they can reach to finals in T20. Dhoni was knowing his teams abilities and hence he was taliking in that manner. Not to get blame lateron.

pak is always favourite. if you see statistics they have won 16 of their 20 t20 international matches. that is quite a winning percentage.

SA always chokes in crucial encounters. it had 5 wicekets still lost by 7 runs.!
the bcci team should learn humility from the pakis. They performed instead of bragging,thats why they won. The bcci team is already holidaying in windies, and they say they are tired!!

Chopra:
What is a medressas?.... and BTW, Yuvi's antics and Ishant's stares and Sreesanth's dances, and Bhajji's gestures are humility?.... Dhoni's press briefings are humility?....
Pakistan cricket was not favorite but as per over legendary batsman Shri Sunil Gavaskar called him unpredictable team and can change the game at any time. During the present turmoil in the Pakistan and recent attack on Sri Lankan team, to some extent Pak cricket had much effected and with the result they could not play cricket. I think they really deserving reward for their best performance but very much shocked that SA continued their exits in the semi finals and had made a new record in the cricket history. I hope that Sri Lanka and Pakistan will be play final. Good luck. Pak has chance to win the T20 cup.

it seems pak is destined to win t20 wc this time. this was proved when india was knocked out early.
