Pakistani Media is ripping through the players souls, breaking crap, and crying like crazy.
And people say the Canucks take to much pressure.

Mitchell Starc sledge: Australian bowler engages Pakistan’s Wahab Riaz in sledging duel
Scott Walsh FOX SPORTS March 20, 2015 10:01PM SHARE
A FIERY feud between Shane Watson and Pakistan paceman Wahab Riaz took centre stage in Australia’s quarter-final run-chase at Adelaide Oval.Australia’s successful chase of 214 was, for a while, pushed to the undercard below a fascinating stouch between Watson and Wahab, which has included short balls, verbal exchanges and even a blown kiss.
“It was pretty nasty,” said Watson, who survived a barrage of short balls to make an unbeaten 64 including the winning runs. “i had a lot of luck to get through that spell. he gave it everything.”
The exchange followed another verbal confrontation during Pakistan’s innings when the bristly Riaz was sledged by Mitchell Starc.
The Aussie No. 5 replaced skipper Michael Clarke and narrowly evaded a fast short ball from Wahab, before the speedy left-armer walked all the way down the wicket, stood next to Watson and applauded his field.
The next ball, Wahab fired down a 150km/h delivery that Watson left, before the paceman stood and glared before repeating his clapping gesture.
In Wahab’s next over another bouncer forced Watson to take evasive action. Wahab paused for dramatic effect, then offered a snappy two-clap applause. That prompted umpire Dharmasena to step in and defuse the situation.

But there was little cause for Pakistan to clap when Watson had an unforgivable let-off soon after. With Wahab having set the psychological trap, he drew Watson into a defensive pull that sailed directly to Rahat Ali at deep backward square - only to see the easy chance grassed.It proved the key turning point of the match. Australia should have been 4-83. Watson was struggling on just four at the time, but capitalised on the second chance.
“If they catch Wwatto at fine leg it could have been a lot tighter but he hung in there,” admitted Michael Clarke.
Wahab later threw down striker Steve Smith’s stumps in frustration, and blew a kiss to Watson as he continued to test him with short balls.
“It was hard to get my head out of the way,” siad Watson. “He kept following me, but I got through it.”
The fuse between the pair was lit during Pakistan’s innings when Mitchell Starc sledged Wahab, then batting, by taunting: “It’s the little white thing. Try and hit it.”

Its over for Pakistan, well played by Australia.
2 important dropped catches
Only player that showed up was Wahab Riaz. The commentators, the fans, and both captains couldn't stop talking about his energy and how he played his heart out.
Freaking amazing player, but when the rest of the team plays like shat, it doesnt even matter.
Its sorta surprising we got this far without Saeed Ajmal, Omar Gul, Junaid Khan, Mohammad Hafeez, and Mohammad Aamir.
But no excuses.
Im so bummed out right now
My 3 Stars for the Pakistani Team in this CWC:
1. Wahab Riaz
2. Sarfraz Ahmed
3. Misbah-ul-Haq
Dave Skylark Signing out

Things aren't looking good for Pakistan right now.

Anyone see a Canadiens jersey in a prior match of India's. Thought it was cool.
Yeah, I saw that. But wasnt it a hat?
Im pretty sure it was a hat

We Won!!!!

As much as I really, really, really hate to say this; I'm actually glad India won today against Ireland.
Now Pakistan needs to win against the Irish to make it.
-
I had no idea there was a cricket thread until TheMohammadman told me on my status. So I'm here now!
What.A.Win. Yesterday against South Africa!!!!!!!!! Just unreal game and unreal win. Sarfraz with six catches, undoubtedly the man of the match. Hell yeah Pakistan!! Team green for life.
Glad to see I'm not alone supporting Pakistan.
India need to beat Ireland (probably an easy win, but stranger things have happened)
And then we need to beat them to make it.

I'm throwing a Seekh Kabab party tonight with my pals to celebrate the win.

SA: 107/6 , They need to make 232.

Still suck
I know, but this is who we have injured/banned:
Saeed Ajmal - Arguably World's #1 spin bowler
Mohammad Hafeez - Another amazing Spinner and Batsmen
Umar Gul - One of the top 20 wicket-takers in the game
Junaid Khan - Rising Fast bowling sensation 4 Star potential
Mohammad Amir (Banned for 5 years) - Amazing 4 1/2 Star Potential player that can rip through any teams batting.
Just insert in Ajmal and Hafeez into the lineup and the story of the world cup will change.

Do You want to know what hot is?
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HOT IS!?!?!?!?!?!
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HOT IS!?!?!?
Come to Saudi Arabia, then you will truly know what hot his!
In June it stays around 50+ and it is VERY, VERY, VERY Humid in July. Officially the temperature usually is 50-54 degrees in the last 2 weeks of June, unofficially it has gotten up to 63. The Humidity drains the energy out of you a lot, too tired to even run, jog, or even walk outside for more than 5 minutes in the day. Try wearing leather Nike or Adidas's Football (soccer) shoes here in the middle of the day, it feels like your feet are being fried.

Guptill with a smashing 237 runs (not out) and a strike rate of 145.4 off only 163 balls today against the West Indies.
I predict New Zealand will beat South Africa and get to the finals against India.
South Africa vs New Zealand will be a very fun match to watch.
