Nehra knew he hadn't caught it. why waste everybody's time?

no it wasn't. We have all had catches like that. he knew it was a bump ball. it would have been referred anyway.
84 off 60
doable

Afridi really needs to take the powerplay before it's too late.
We need an over or two of Misbah here 
I still remember Misbah gifting us a victory a few years back
I'd like Afridi's wicket instead of that.We need an over or two of Misbah here
Too many people smiling - hardly feels like a semi-final let alone an India-Pak game.
Sehwag is always smiling. Bhajji on the other hand is perpetually depressed.
3 overs of Nehra's left. He has form for losing it in pressure situations.
Dhoni's capable of unusual decisions. Expect him to turn to Tendulkar over the last over or two.

All over now
Boom Boom gone !!
Afridi is gone, it's the end of Pakistan's WC.
Get in!
Still can't understand Misbah. Bizzare!
Afridi gone
Afridi gone
Yessssssssssss!
Afridi gone!
Afridi gone!
YES!!! That'll do it
Well said Ravi Shastri - baffling tactics. What the feck is Misbah doing and why didn't they take the powerplay.
For. feck. Sake
Very strange innings from Pakistan. What was Afridi doing with that shot?
Boom boom pow!
So it falls on Misbah. who seems to have been batting for an eternity, scoring a magical 0.6 runs, to lead Paksitan to victory.
Misbah shouldnt enter Pakistan for a while and rightly so. What an inept performance thus far.
both things make no sense at all ..... except of course the obvious suspicion .... but would you really throw a cwc semi final, Vs India of all teams. But then it just makes no sense at all.
Can you blame him? Misbah has heaped immense pressure on his team.
Afridi had to do what he had to do. Its Misbah's attitude thats inexplicable. Not that i'm complaining but he has has strike rate of 50 for feck's sake.

I dont know about Misbah, feck knows what he's doing.
As for the PP, I think its both India and PAkistan who still dont know how to use it to their advantage.
Yes, but as captain, why did Afridi not take the power play? Something just does not add up here
To be honest so far this match has been very underwhelming. There's been some good stuff but other than Riaz's spell there's not been anything spectacular or special that you'd expect from a india-pak semi final. Even Sachin's innings was very unlike him.
I don't think there's anything suspicious about Pak's ability to collapse or drop catches, it's happened too often to be suspicious.
The powerplay is a strange one all right but I can sort of see the logic for holding it back for the last 5.
Shot by Riaz. India will win, but he deserves to be MOTM imo.
i would say apprehension. these matches could go either way at any stage.
I think Wahab didn't get his suitcase...he's been playing to a different gameplan.
Its like you havent ever seen the matchday forum Sults, come on.
Sorry but you're extraordinarily positive.
But I did say before Pakistan started batting that we'd win
How can they not know????? They are professionals and surrounded by experienced strategists who think about cricket 24/7. They even have computer laptops and all that hawkeye stuff. Even my mum knew that Pakistan should hjave taken the powerplay!!!
Preparing for the worst and all that.
...
SL favorites for the finals? Great bowling attack and 3 out of the top 5 run scorers.
