Well played Pakistan! No one expected you to be a major force when the WC started; but you did put up an excellent show, with wins over Sri Lanka and Australia and a closely fought semifinal against India. Afridi is right, he has every reason to be proud of this team.

Congrats Indian fans.
It was poetic justice that India got one over Pakistan.In 2007 both bowed out together since then Indian has become stronger playing united under one skipper while Pakistan went from one controversy to the next I would prefer that my team wins the world cup on the back of 2-3 years of sustained good performance like we did in 92 or Ind or SL will do this year.
However as for the game I feel it was more Pakistan loosing then India winning.Hafeez played a daft shot, Misbah and Younis murdered the middle overs and Afridi as usual threw it away when finally we were getting some momentum.It was a tourney where we can hold our head high however Pakstan has alot of work to do the impact of Asif and Aamer getting banned has still not been felt fully yet not many people realist that two potential ATG's have been lost in no time and Gul despite being very good will never be a leader of the attack like Aamer or Asif.Pakistan batting is still shaky Umer Akmal it seems will struggle to realise his potential but in Asad and Azhar Ali I feel we have found two batsman who will hold up well for the future.Most importantly we need to find a keeper who can atleast hold his catches.Interesting times coming up for Pakistan cricket.

Not angry, just can't stand your cricket team (except Ajmal) and most of the fans. Especially the homoerotic love affair some of you have with Afridi.

Afridi <3 
Althought I agree with Weezy to an extent. While I do love most of the Pak side (Afridi, Hafeez, Younis, Misbah, Ajmal, Shafiq...), I find it very hard to support them when they have Riaz and the Akmals in the side. Pak used to be one of my favourite sides to watch and support, but now I really don't hope they do well; or atleast, that Riaz and the Akmals don't do well.
Ajmal was freaking awesome yesterday tho. And Hafeez. Great in the field, bowled very well, and was dismantling us with the bat till that stupid, stupid shot. Srsly, what is it with Pakistanis and getting out playing that cute little scoop over the shoulder in pressure situations?

There is a reason Hafeez averages 23 with the bat in ODIs and that shot epitomized it.Afridi <3
