Faraz on Fri, 19th Jun 2009 8:06 am
good work pakistan, buut younus khan, you mustrely on your main straeam bowlers, younus jitna ahmaq captain hai uss se bohat ziayada lucky hai, can anybudy tell me Y younus saved one over of umer gull who is the main strike bowler, this time u had enuf runs on the board to defend, but what next u never know. fawwad alam didnt bowl a single ball in the whole tournament and the idiot gave him the crucial over to be kicked in, the result remains in pakistan favour otherwise every one wud have been shouting at him, afridi and akmal played very well but again out of useless shots. in the end welldone paksitan, god bless you.

Sahil on Fri, 19th Jun 2009 9:37 am
Hi i am Sahil from Srinagar Kashmir. I proud to be in support of Pakistan. My Favourite Batsman is BOOM BOOM AFRIDI & Bowler is MOHAMMAD ASIF, unfortunately he is not played in the tournament due to some unfair means. Yes the Pak played really well especially Shahid Afridi and none of the other Pak batsman take aggression against proteas. The bowling department is little bet weak and needs to improve. The Pak didn’t played really well in their last game however it is luck which goes in favour of Pakistan. The guys have to concentrate upon all the three departments especiallay in fielding, they has to shown good commitment in the out field as well. Good luck Pakistan For the final game. JEEVA JEEVA PAKISTAN.

Great work by paki players, but aI feel pitty for SA, this is the fourth time they have failed to qualify for the final of a big tournament, whats wrong with you guys?? i think You r the best team in the world despite being a pakistani, i really feel pitty for SA, but happy for my home team, Good Luck pakistan.
Riz on Fri, 19th Jun 2009 11:08 am
Hi Guys, i already during the Super 8’s that Pakistan and SiriLanka would play the finals of this T20 World Cup.
Coming to Semi Final, I think it was all “Shahid Afridi and Umar Gul”. But one thing i never understood “how on earth Yunus Khan didn’t let Umar Gull bowl 4 overs and given the bowling to Fawad?… to my view, that could have been the shift of the whole game.
Atif Bhatti on Fri, 19th Jun 2009 11:40 am
Hello friends, Pakistan has finally showed their talent. but still some more to do and have to take the CUP and bring that to HOME. WE ARE WAITING FOR THE CUP. COME ON BOYS…..

Muhammad Tanveer on Fri, 19th Jun 2009 11:56 am
It was a great match played by any two teams ever before. Pakistani players did work hard and got a great victory. These ara unfogetable movements for every pakistani in the world. If pakistani team shows the same spirit in the final they can win this worldcup and they will. I congratulate pakistani team for a victory. Muhammad Tanveer Okara Pakistan
Zubair-bin-majeed on Fri, 19th Jun 2009 12:41 pm
Hi this is Zubair form Srinagar Kashmir India. First of all congrulations for winning the First Semi final of ICC T20 World Cup. and hope that they will defend the Final also. Well Pak needs to improve every aspect of game wheteher it is the fielding department, batting department or bowling department as well. They has to shown superb commitments in each and every step. As far as one of the greatest hitter Shahid Afridi is concerned they are given their best for last couple of games and needs to continue this form. Well i have hope upon the Pakistan team and (INSHALLAH) We will win the final game of T20 World Cup. Good Luck Pak.
With best and wram regards
From
Zubair Majeed
