comment on the article

The first semi final Pakistan vs New Zealand. Who do you think is going to come on top? Who do you think is going to shine for their teams? Can Pakistan make it to the finals? Shoaib Malik has said that he is looking forward to the final already. New Zealand stand in the way, they are a good side. Pakistan have to be near their best again, after a poor show against the Bengali's.

Afridi and Misbah will be the ones who can get hold of this game and win it for Pakistan. Shoaib Malik has been in good form with the bat too, and he has finally bowled in this tournament.

If Pakistan bowl first, then our bowlers can restrict New Zealand to below 160. I think win or lose the toss, Pakistan can even defend a total of around 170.

Congratulations Pakistan on your victory in the holy month of Ramadan. It will bring Pakistan back into the cricket arena after the painful Bob Woolmer episode. It will be a great Final.

if pakistan want to win next games or next world cup then they have to play with more power and have to show world that they are best team i know pakistan batting line is not so good but what they got is misbuall haq who is one of the most great player and what i want to share is that shoail can bat better than bowling hat waht you might have seen in 20/20 world cup and you might have experience it.i belive that pakistan now got very good and younge captian who can bowl and bat at any position of match as you seen in some matches that he play very big role in pakistan win at the moment pakistan is at 2 number in world cricket if they carry on like they did they will be one of best teams of world i am very with all pakistan players and i just want to say dont get angry with shaid afardi if he didnt bat like he usually do (six any where) but he did bowl very well and got prize for best man of series

Well done Pakistan! Commiserations to NZ. Come on India! (well, one can hope ). Either way, Pak-Aus or Pak-Ind, the final should be a good one.

Congratulations Pakistan on your victory in the holy month of Ramadan. It will bring Pakistan back into the cricket arena after the painful Bob Woolmer episode. It will be a great Final.

i support you pakistan
