The day we all been waiting before has arrived. I woke up at 2am I was so excited but it's raining there. Expecting to rain. And it's raining in South Africa.
My sister is in Pakistan. She say's it's just cricket fever. And the match would be on all channel. She say's its a public holiday in our province and nationally, its a half-day holiday.
Mother of all matches. The India vs. Pakistan match. This game is going to full of tension and excitement. Very exciting game enjoy it. India won the toss and choss to bat. Pakistan was under pressure with the new ball. Umar Gul the wicket taker in most match's he was struggling. Sachin was saved six times they where appeal for LBW umpire on feild was called OUT he went straigt to DRS and umpire had to reversed his decion. He was drop catch four time but finally Hafeez got his wicket and the catch was taken by Afradi. He said he won't let Sachin get his 100 and he words come true. Wahab he was enjoying this took 5 wicket's for 46 plus a run out. Ramiz Raja said by the look at things Wahab could just get a wicket and he was right there was another wicket.
Ajmal also bowled very well just took two wicket and Hafeez took one. India got 260/9
If they make a partnership in the power play the openers have a key role to play. The chase is on and can manage it some one needs to get a 50. I depend on the openers start off good and don't throw wicket's away.
Pakistan tried there best but could hold it. I don't even know what to type am not dissapointed by Pakistan lose am happy for them. They got to the Semi final and to play in India an against India it's just huge step to get there. The batting collapsed Misbah don't know why he was so slow but managed to get his 50. Shahid Afradi your mistakes through out the world cup please practice your batting. I know you still the wicket taker in this world cup 21 wicket's but you could of add two more on your tally but with those drop catch's from your fielders they where under pressure.
Shahid Afridi, the losing captain, can still manage a smile which is nice to see. "First of all I'd like to congratulate the Indian cricket team and the Indian nation for this great victory, and wish them all the best fo the final," he says, magnanimously. "Wahab really bowled well today, but we missed some opportunities. They played better than us. We didn't make partnerships, we played some irresponsible shots, and a partnership was crucial. I want to say sorry to my nation. We tried our level best, and we enjoyed ourselves at this tournament."
India was the much better team but there is still a smile on Pakistan faces.
India walks freely to the final on 2 April where they be facing Sri Lanka it's going to be a thriller of a final.

Semi final 1
New Zealand vs Sri Lanka. New Zealand in every world cup they get to a semi final and lose never been to a world final.
These two where in the same group and Sri Lanka won. New Zealand won the toss and bat first bat they made a collapse after Syris have left. Murali it's his last ODI and it was very special it was in his home ground & in front of his people. He took 2/42 sad moment for him.
I said on twitter they going to be all out before 50 overs and it was just like that. Malinga took three, Mendis took three, Murali took two, Hearth took one and Dilshan took one wicket. Ten wicket fell for 217. I thought 250 was on the cards for New Zealand but just never happen's any more. Sri Lanka is off too a victory an into the finals.
Sri Lanka they have lost it for a while and losing wicket's but then every one was on a panic mode. The batsmen that's was coming on they where slow and run rate was going high. I was praying come on they have to do it some one should try but with Sri Lanka their always be some one who would win the game for them.
New Zealand was doing well Tim Southee he was dangerous he took three wicket's. They where getting close. Matthews came in injured but has a runner. Matthews where slow at the start and giving Samaraweera. Sri Lanka has he longest national anthem and their names. He was scoring run a ball at least but then Mathews come up and hit a boundaries and even a six.
Samara hit the last ball the winning runs so they thought. It was called a dead ball from the umpire just before the bowler delivered as he was distracted by the many fireworks going off round the stadium, celebrations where going off early.
They where waiting just to get that boundary and won. Sri Lanka victory a book their tickets to Mumbai, their second final in a row, what an achievement this is.
I love Kumar Sangakkara wining captain and through to the final on the 2 April 2011.
The last game for Murali in Sri Lanka, we really wanted to give him a good send-off. Our bowling variety has been great, our fast bowlers are good, our spinners have been good. Murali is the icon of Sri Lanka, on the field, off the field, a fantastic human being and a great team man." The crowd goes absolutely wild as Sangakkara gives a message in Sinhalese to the partying fans. He says the team should realise they haven't won anything yet, we have just reached the final. Sangakkara is also the Man of the Match, receives the trophy.

Semi finals
THIS IS IT WE ARE ON THE LAST LEG OF THE JOURNEY OF CRICKET WORLD CUP 2011 THE BOTTOM FOUR OUT OF FOURTEEN COUNTRIES THAT TOOK PART IN THIS YEAR WORLD CUP.
THE WORLD CUP CHAMPS ARE OUT AUSTRALIA WAS KNOCKED OUT BY INDIA. SO WE GETTING A NEW WINNER.
THREE ASIAN TEAMS LEFT IN THIS WORLD CUP. INDIA, PAKISTAN & SRI LANKA THESE ARE THE BEST THREE CRICKET TEAMS IN THE WORLD. WITH NEW ZEALAND BEING PRESENT AT THE SEMI FINAL AGAINST SRI LANKA.
We have a two day's break before the Semi Final but every one is more excited about the second semi final
Sri Lanka vs New Zealand and would I watch it maybe I should because it's a semi final. Sri Lanka on their home ground and soil. Shall win them like dazzling stars like they won England in the quarter finals.
India and Pakistan, will come face to face again in a World Cup match. Politics has let to halt the ties between these two neighbors but through cricket the two neighbors meet again on the greatest stage.But Mohali is supposed to erase all those woos and awes of missing an Indo-Pak clash. The green track of Punjab is to host the epic semifinal clash between the two most exciting teams of world cricket. It's not a war it's just a game. Win or loose smile because anger would help just try harder next world cup.
An India-Pakistan match is not war. It’s a game which just scripts epics and thrillers. It’s a way to unite the two beloved children of world cricket, a way to unite two nations who have the history of war and much other confusion.
Let Pakistan convey the message of love in India and let India hug their brother with love and affection. Let peace prevail in India and Pakistan through cricket.
Let the fans be not intoxicated by doubts and rumors.
I always can't for the match I been waiting to watch for a long time is on our door step India vs Pakistan world cup semi final. Who shall walk to the finals??
Pakistan bowling is just the best they have a line up of bowlers than can finish India off under 100 runs. They did that before they keep there opponent low score and easy for them to chase down.
Pakistan have played India on four occasions in World Cups and have been beaten each time.
History, though, mattered little to Hafeez. "Yes, Pakistan has not defeated India in the World Cup, but in the last 12 years, Australia also had not lost a single World Cup game. But then they lost to us (by four wickets) and to India.
"There is no point thinking about the past. We think about the day; whoever the opponent is, we try to win on the day."

Fourth QF
The quater finals are now over and it's Sri Lanka that takes the last and fourth place in the Semi finals.
England did not do well at all. I did not watch the English innings but they where struggling also where they under pressure. But it was Sri Lanka home ground.
The openers did it took them too victory and into the Semi Final. I know they shall trash New Zealand.
New Zealand's Kyle Mills and Daniel Vettori and South African Faf du Plessis have been heavily fined for an altercation during Friday's World Cup quarterfinal in Dhaka, the ICC said on Saturday.
Just four teams left in the cricket world cup. We have a two day's break then on 29 & 30 March is the Semi Final then another two day's tell the big final. I would type another post in the morning about the Semi Final.

Third QF
South Africa vs New Zealand both of these teams have never won a world cup.
New Zealand won the toss and bat first. New Zealand lost two early wicket's but they look steady at the moment. South Africa can get quick wickets at the beginning near to the end they get the rest of the wicket's I think it would happen today.
South Africa was outstanding with the bowling but could get Jesse Ryder out so he was New Zealand highest score. Tahir took two wickets. Morkel very classic bowling by him took two wicket's in one over plus another one before that so he took three wicket's.
New Zealand 221/8 in 50 overs.For the first time in cricket world cup South Africa havent been able to bowl out their opponent. This is a easy total too defend shall SA chase it down or would they collapse as usually
This was a very low total to defend and it's easy to chase down. But for South Africa they made it so difficult. This how it goes down for SA. Hashim Amla gone for 6 runs he did not score a lot in the world cup. Kallis comes in he scores hit around plays the ball and Smith just stands and watch. Then his wicket falls of Smith for 28 runs a very use less captain but it was his last as being captain in ODI. Kallis goes he hit hard thought he got a boundary but Jacob Oram just stretch up his arms and what a catch that was. Kallis got 47 runs next in was AB but things got intense also. When the wicket fell of Duminy then Faf come in. AB was run out for 35 runs but there where exchange of words and that's not allowed. Faf he tried but wicket's where falling Botha he could not hold it for more than 2 runs then he got bowled. Petersen that won the game against India could be trust he was gone for no runs. Next in was Steyn he was a goner by 8 runs gave away his wicket what to hit a six that's not even needed. Morkel 3 runs off seventeen balls but FAF was doing all the work. But then he lost his wicket then the last man for SA was Tahir what can't bat. It was Morkel that ended and he lost it for SA.
It could of been a terrific win for SA if they did collapse like that well as every one is saying they would always be chokers. And would they ever win a knock out in a world cup. Congrats NZ for reaching into the semi final.
Imran Tahir coming into a country & too play your first time in International cricket and starting off by playing in a world cup. You where awesome I enjoyed watching you bowl and taking your wicket's if only you knew what kind of team you coming into that is called chokers but you are on the list of wicket takers.Hope you enjoyed your world cup experience hope too see you playing in the next world cup to come in the future.

QF second
India vs Australia this is a big match it sort of the like a mini final. They are meeting too soon.
India has only won Australia in 1987. India lost against Australia in the final of world cup 2003. In 2007 world cup they did not meet in the final. This year in 2011 they meeting in Quarter finals knock outs who is going to win this. India has not won any of there match's played at this stadium.
India just could not get wicket's. Pointing got his 100 runs by India. He got Australia too a total of 260 I think this the high score at this ground.
Target for India 261 can they do would Sachin get a 100 or would he walk when it's a review. We well have to wait and see what happens in the chase.
This was it for Australia there quarter final was the end of the road for them as India steered themselves too victory. It took eleven year's to win Australia and in the year 2011 they did and they sent them home. Australia did not play there normal game they lost it maybe when they lost Pakistan. But Pointing got his century on his last game of the world cup. Australia was not fielding so well and they just gave up then and there. Sachin, Gambir & Yuvi made half century. Sachin got to his 18000 runs. Yuvi was the match winner and the man of the match he took two wickets & he was 57 runs not out. Yuvi said in the presentation it was pressure but he really kept himself cool and calm and won it for his country
I am so happy we getting a new CRICKET WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS.

First QF
Pakistan vs West Indians
What a way to start off the first match of the cricket world cup Quarter finals. Darren Sammy for the first time in this year cwc he has won the toss. Chose to bat first but did not do well at all. It was Pakistan show down from the begging of West Indians innings. We thought the the opener shall use the power play but three wickets fell in the Power play. End of ten over WI did not even reach thirty.
Umar took the wicket of Gayle and the only wicket. Hafeez followed with two wicket's in one over Afradi took four wicket's and he has taken twenty one wicket's in this cwc. Ajmal that come back he took two. Razzaq did not get much bowling in today he took one
West Indians all out for 112. Easy chase for Pakistan there is no rush as they are in charge of this match.
This was just simply the best performance by Pakistan not really the best but they have won Australia. As if they can do this too Australia & West Indians they would do this with any other team and shall win the world cup Inshallah.
Hafeez & Kamran Akmal bat it through Hafeez was just out standing he took too wicket's and 61 runs not out he was man of the match. Pakistan won by 10 wicket's
Through too the semifinal that would be facing Australia or would we get a big clash India vs Pakistan.
