What? They didn't get half of the runs because the said bowler got their two best batsmen in the opening spell. And then he came back in his second spell and got their third best batsman.
You are right but I do think Windies not scoring even half the runs could have influenced the guy who picks MoM to give it to the top run-getter from both teams. Just saying it's not outlandish
Those 07 world t20 ind pak games are stuff of legends.
I can't take this much of never said before insight in one go. *insert brand new information gif*
I still cant believe why misbah went for that stupid shot when he was hitting everythign for six down the ground. Ignoring that, that world cup was amazing, we were such a good side in the T20 format in the first few years. Lost in the final, won, got destroyed by hussey which prevented another trophy.Those 07 world t20 ind pak games are stuff of legends.
I swear Pakistan threw those games, i wouldn't be surprisedThose 07 world t20 ind pak games are stuff of legends.
Probably the best hitting to win a match I've seen
Also of ajmal, I can't remember any other batsman hitting pre-modelled bowling action ajmal like that.
Just find it a bit ridiculous that batsmen always are favoured. Yeah the pitch was bowler friendly so Kohli's innings was good but if it was vice versa (a batting paradise) you'd see some bloke smash 150 and still pick up the MOTM award even if there was a bowler bowling out of his skin in that game.
Especially when at that time most of us subcontinent fans knew quite little about T20 in generalThose 07 world t20 ind pak games are stuff of legends.
Yep. It basically announced the format globally. Brilliant tournament. We followed it up with IPL an year later which is now one of the most important trophies in world cricket.Especially when at that time most of us subcontinent fans knew quite little about T20 in general
Guess they have to fit the 50 over WC in between
People watch it for the same reason they watch bbw porn
Now I haven't seen that game in a while but Misbah's shot was 100 percent on and he has played that to a lot of success in his career. That just wasn't his day. Cricket is a game of fine margins.
Could have held one last year.
I see a lot of YT shows for their views. I think it's a real shame but all (most) subcontinent analysts right now are just garbage. Ramiz, Manjrekar, Wasim (hate to disrespected a great bowler) are terrible.
Really? Joginder Sharma is a 125kmph trundler.
Between every test series and every 50 over major tournament, we lament the death of the format and write extended eulogies, following which we thoroughly enjoy said series/tournament.
He was clearing everything down the ground and had hit a six a few deliveries before easily.
Yeah you are right. Absolute idiocy from Misbah although he dragged Pakistan to that stage. I just started supporting Pakistan in that match and the very next ball he got out.
After 12 years I finally know who to blame.
“The pitches that we’ve been playing on the last two years are surely the pitches we [should] be playing on in a World Cup,” he said, “so I don’t know why they’ve changed.
So deludedBeyond pathetic.
Passion is passion, you can't fight it
WTF.
They aren't the exact same wickets you've played on in the last couple of years, but so what? Adapt to the conditions like everyone else. He says it isn't an excuse, so why even mention it?
Most of India's matches in that cup were superb entertainment and really tight.
Bairstow comes across as a fecking penis every-time he opens his mouth.
What's even more bizarre is that he is even complaining about pitches were score was above or around 300 like in Pakistan game. Just because England lost that match, the pitch was not its usual self.
He sounds rattled. But he has a point when he questions KP. Kp kept on tweeting about Morgan being coward and as an ex- countrymen he should not be tweeting such crap. Its funny how they either go to one extreme og calling this team the best or going to other by just tweeting shit about them.
Yeap. I completely dissed T20 cricket before that tournament. But that run in tournament was superb. SA choking again at a home WC, England getting battered and an awesome semi against Aussies. We lost the NZ match but even then Sehwag and Gambhir scored something crazy like 70-80 runs in first 6 overs.
