14th June - 1st Semi-final - England v Pakistan

[cnerd123]

The first time in ages that England have a side that isn't reliant on South Africans and that's when they choke

 

[harsh.ag]

Pakistan having a perfect day. Glad because this cannot possibly happen twice

 

[OverratedSanity]

Damn, this is a real pasting.

 

[Daemon]

They really need to stop feeding Ali's pads. 23 runs already on the legside.

 

[quincywagstaff]

He's the 2nd best bowler in this team even on current form, after Hasan Ali.

He's averaging 33 in ODI since his return; hardly top-class.

 

[vcs]

This tournament will go down as a big missed opportunity for England, not capitalizing on some great form and home conditions as well, and no dominant team like mid-2000's Australia around to stop them.

 

[cnerd123]

Back to back fifties. Can you believe this Fakhar?

This is about as far from a choke as it gets. It's an all out start-to-finish mullering.

Edit: Pasting has already been used, suitably.

 

[Daemon]

He's been tight. Only gone for >6 per over 4 times since his return and that includes a lot of games where Pakistan have been taken to all parts.

 

[Woodster]

Surely Pakistan have got to let things get interesting at some point! It's in their DNA!!

 

[Burner]

Like I said. Strolling!

 

[Contra]

Haha royal owning this by Pakistan.

 

[mackembhoy]

Off to do something much better with my day.

Well done to Pakistan. Pray Bangladesh can perform a miracle now.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Just got in, not seen a ball since 3rd over. Well done Pakistan and good luck in the final.

Cornered Tigers are taming the Overrated Lions.

In other news, Virender Sehwag's twitter has gone awfully quiet

 

[Woodster]

Yes I accept this one has drifted away from us. Fantastic performance from Pakistan, outbowled, outbatted and outfielded us.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Not doing very well, are they? I told you that England were all hype and no trousers.

 

[Black_Warrior]

I wish Wahab was still around so both Azhar could get his 100 and Babar could get his 50 here

The pitch certainly doesn't seem to be as dreadful for batting as one or two folks were making out.

Well played Pakistan. But pitiful from the hosts.
