Excellent result! Great to see Razzaq back!
Please move­ Shahid Afridi up the order permanently. Have you­ noticed he always does much better if batting early on­ without the pressure of coming in at situations where­ 12+ an over are required? He's a natural attacker -­ a pure maverick - and knows nothing else. When he fires­ there are few better in the world than him. He'll­ either get the team off to a flying start, or get out­ quickly - either way he doesn't waste balls, and­ the rest of the team know what tpace they need to go­ at. Much better than the top order creating pressure­ and expecting him to perform miracles. Whatever happens­ he's an asset to the side, either with bat, ball or­ when fielding.
As for the other wanna-be maverick's­ in the side - one is enough, just stick to sensibly­ paced batting please and Pakistan have got a real­ chance!

hey Stephen I played cricket with potatoes last week,­ they mashed us by an innings and 66 runs!!!

The weird thing about michelle is that she has gone out­ of her way to make her illuminating comments on this­ page ? What on earth is that that about? The population­ of the cricketing nations is getting on for 2 billion­ ,according to a quick google . It would appear that­ michelle is a bit dim,even for an American .
Well done­ pakistan . U should make the semi-finals at least.

Has any one played cricket with potatoes try it­ it's more fun.

Interesting thoughts from you on the state of a truly­ English/Global sport (cricket). Perhaps look closer to­ home where in America sports such as American Football­ and Baseball, if you win these league tournaments in­ America you declare yourself World Champions!!! How­ does that work, you only played teams in your own­ country.
However I totally accept that no other teams­ in the world could defeat you in either of the sports­ above, it does show the arrogance of the American­ Nation, if Lancashire win the Cricket pro40 this year­ are they then World Champions???

To: Comment 3. (michelle).
I'm a proud English­ woman..you do NOT speak for me, I'm proud of our­ liberties and our freedom of speech, but for you to­ make such an insulting and degrading remark about a­ proud nation is both disgraceful and­ unforgivable.
Don't forget that that while you are­ living in England, you are an ambassador for your­ country.
We welcome everyone one to this wonderful­ country...except closed minded and bigoted people like­ you...a typical unenlightened and ignorant­ American....did you ever wonder why you are the most­ hated country in the world?

If Gul, Affridi, Raazaq and Kamran Akmal can give a­ spark to their team consistently, Pakistan will sure­ win the championship this tournament!

michelle, again.......you prove yourslef to be a cut­ below the rest of the gene pool....a little more­ inbreeding from the rest of your "troupe" of­ clefted hicks and maybe, just maybe....eventually,­ you'll all die out....try it with your grandfather,­ if he's still alive....or if you have been­ unfortunate enough to have children, I hear with the­ eldest son is a sure way to elimininate next­ generations...

Go on, do us a favour.....

the took a mil for the england game though... and­ holland gave em 50 keys but they smoked all of that­ .... and knocked them out.... thats why they can't­ field for @#$%.

Wonderful! Alhamdulillah, well done guys! Especial­ thanks & congrats to Gul bhai! :)

that is cool
