No worries.
We'll roll these Aussie lads over.

Feck me. How did that happen? Great batting by Hussey.
I nearly turned this off 30 mins ago.

Great win from the Aussies in the end, I thought the Pakistan bowling at the end was poor though, the pressure got to them.
Andy Gray: "Take a bow, son!"
Pakistan can be proud of their performance.
That was unreal, awesome.
Exactly, they were below par through out the tournament. The Akmal brothers turned it on today. But, Hussey just blew them out of the tourney, until then they had everything under control.
But, you can laugh at India though - pathetic useless twats.
Yeah but it must be gutting to lose from that position.
They definitely though they were home when White got out, turned out to be their downfall. Very big mistake by Afridi to give the last over to a spinner as well.
60 off 24 deliveries under pressure. Phenomenal.
I'm not sure you can laugh at any team in this format of cricket. However, the body language of the Indian team in this tournament was well below par.
Poor dumpstar
He was bowling so well before the final over. You've got to credit the batsman in this situation.
Waqar Younis would of been carted out the ground in the final over.
Hussey was just in the zone (i hate that expression but it really applies here).
That was stunning from white and hussey. Aus really want to win the one trophy that eludes them.
LMAO...I'm fecking on the floor here cause I've made a few quid of that game off my friends..that too put money on the Aussies after the 16th over when White got dismissed..hilarity
I didn't.. that last over maybe, but apart from that it was all class from Hussey.
Even in the last over, that second six was outrageous. It was not in the slot, but he made it look like it was.
Brilliant from Hussey.
Clarke's a T20 fraud and should be kept out.
Still spinners are always more liable to get hit for multiple sixes. They lost the game in second and third to last over anyway. Should have never allowed it reach 18 off 6 equation.
He cornered himself into that position. I thought with 5 overs left, he'd give the 16th to Ajmal leaving Ajmal, Afridi with 1 each and Aamer with 2 for the last 4 giving him options to change things around in case someone got hit. But he bowled the 16th himself. Then when I thought he'd want Aamer bowling the last, he made Aamer bowl the 17th, again constraining his options. It was silly captaincy. Afridi has done a lot of that over the course of this tournament.
and I think Cameron White's really become a fantastic player over the past one year. Amazing consistency.
I'm not trying to take anything away from Hussey but the bowlers weren't bowling intelligently. He was only really pulling to leg for the big hits, and yet they didn't try and cramp him for space or bowl full enough.
AUs were at 16/1 when they lost that 5th wicket
Graeme Smith has launched a scathing attack on former South Africa captain and selector Kepler Wessels on Twitter and hit back at the criticism his side have received after being dumped out of the World Twenty20 in the Super Eights stage.
"Find it amazing that kepler can sit and say should have picked a younger squad when he was 1 of the selectors who chose it!unbelievable!" Smith wrote on Twitter and followed it up with "Atleast we own up to playing poorly.but all these so called experts/ex players im not sure I see a winners medal hanging round there necks!"
I like how txtspeak is reproduced verbatim.

If somebody is saying behind me that somebody tore my shirt then what can I say. I didn't even take any shirt to West Indies. I had taken only t-shirts.
Don't think you can pull a fast one on Ashish Nehra, here with a water-tight defence on his alleged involvement in a pub brawl
Yea, you tell them Ashish..
He's thought this one through. Applying all the sense he brings to the fore while bowling..

I'm well chuffed and glad we didn't roll over like we usually do. If it wasn't for the brilliant Hussey these cornered tigers had the world cup again.
Great performance by Pakistan, even the bowling was good. Sometimes you just have to say well done to the opposition, no excuses. Congratulations Australia, no way the final will be this interesting. We just had it.

Chuffed? You should be gutted. Lose a game when the opposition requires 48 of 3 overs and you're chuffed?
Also I don't buy this Pakistan played well. They batted well but the bowlers have to take the blame.
We played like world cup winners. Australia played better. By saying Pakistan bowled badly you're taking credit away from the ultra-Professional and ultra-cool Aussies. Our bowlers took more wickets than the Aussie bowlers but they still won.
Sad to be out, but proud of the way we played.

Bet Ajmal will get banned for match fixing.
It took one of the best Twenty20 innings to knock us out, I'd say we could be proud of our performance to a certain extent.
We certainly didn't go out with a whimper in a similar manner to our previous tournament exits or in a similar manner to some other teams in this tournament...

I'm sorry world cup winners don't lose in that situation. You think the Aussies would've let the same thing happen?

Graeme Smith is fecking numpty and part of the cancer that is fecking up South African cricket. Yes, Kepler is a selector, but Kepler had made it clear that he does not endorse the team that was selected. You may be a selector but if you're one fighting many then wtf are you supposed to do? Graeme Smith thinks he owns SA cricket. He now has Corrie Van Zyl in his pocket. Mickey Arthur left because he couldn't take the power centralization from Smith, Kallis and Boucher anymore.
Are you jinxing the Aussies against England tomorrow? Lame argument.
Watson gone.
Really hope we win this.
Warner run out
We're an exceptional fielding side now, got to give Flower credit for that

Oz. 3 Down now. Haddin out.And now the 3rd wicket, terrible decision mind, great take by Kieswetter
Yep, 8-3
It's very good that none of the wickets have been Clarke either, as apparently, he's only hit one boundary the whole tournament, he's not a T20 player at all
Anyone got a good stream they could PM my way?
