This is a stupid and biased feeling of some viewers here.Afridi kept his cool and took as many singles as possible and cut loose when time came.His bowling was also ideal for conditions in England and he was well motivated by his captain.Pakistan's overall performance was very good.But some people r alleging that it was a fixed match and Afridi should undergo dope test.In the final SL bowled well to defend 138 but PAK batsmen succeded in taking singles regularly and played big shots when needed.India was having good chance of winning against ENG and SA if they kept their cool and were not able to do that.Our captain and players r only responsible for our debacle in WC and it is not fare to degrade the PAK performance.

Our great Ad-man cum Captain Dhoni at Sr. No. 59 of MVP with a strike rate of 96. Keep it up Dhoni, Well done !!!!
Cricket is nothing more than money making business. The last T20 world cup was won by Indian team who was struggling then with the 50-50 world cup loss and needed a big pushh. This time around they applied the same logic to pakistan. Its all bout money.
Afridi who was smashed out of the park when pak faced India for warm up match and he is not a kind of player who have a temparament to perform in crunch games , chk his records and suddenly he become man of the match back to back in 2 main matches ,I doubt bcz first he never get old for almost 3 years his age remained 17 years, so dope test should tell some story. And any way ICC gave pak the platform to reach semis, and all know south africans r famous for not performing in cruch main matches. so almost ICC gave pak compensation for not playing international cricket and Pak board said they will sue ICC for there loss, final i think not sure was a genuine match where Lankan bowlers did not perform. and batsman failed to get runs. still the score was defendable but how afridi kept himself so cool I doubt. and for me he is not at all match winner.

u might be right as afridi is among inconsistent player and suddenly become a hero. bt at the time of debut he ws 16 in 1996 n nw he is 29. so i think age is correct.

If he does, then the world cup shud be taken away from Pak as its bcoz of his performace with the bat and ball, Pak managed to win world cup. Cheats will always remain cheats.

afridi's bowling action is also dubious, specially when he delivers quicker ones...it seems he just throws the ball

"Cheates will always remain cheats", what a confession statement from a poor Indian.
