Surprisingly good performance from Pakistan to knock SA out and make the final, Afridi superb with bat and ball.

Expect them to be bowled out for 60 or so in the final and take a right hammering now!

I saw more enthusiasm in five minutes from that Pakistan team than i did in the whole series for England. It's called passion England. Get some before the Aussies whitewash you again.

very good win Pakistan credit due you turned it on today wioll be intresting tommorow wacth WI go and knock SL out after we have bigged up both SA and SL lol

South Africa fail in yet another Semi Final.

They really are chokers!!

To be fair, it is a pointless, tinpot trophy taking place before the biggest event in cricket, nay the biggest sporting event of the year. I'd struggle to show any passion and enthusiasm for it as well. Hell, I've not even been bothered about watching the damned thing.

Save the complaining until we fail miserably in something meaningful.

If you're a professional sportsman you should be at the top of your game in every tournament. That is, unless you think you're too good. That's the problem with the Englnd set up. They all think they're too good. If that's their attitude then they don't deserve the fans that go and watch them - even in 20/20.

I don't think England showed any lack of passion at all, far from it at times watching Broad and Sidebottom.

What they did show was a massive lack of a batting game plan throughout the tournament which did for them in the end...and with Pakistan managing to get to the Final it just goes to show that if we'd have performed with the bat then it really was wide open for us.

I think it might be more that the supporters, people like yourself, build them up to be better than they are.

As OrdsallRed has said, the lack of a batting plan was the main downfall. Is that down to a lack of passion or the players apparently thinking they're too good? Is it balls. It's down to the fact that we struggled with the bat, nothing more.

I just can't understand why people are willing to spit dummies out already. Our performance in Twenty20 is no indicator on how well we'll do in Test Matches, they're two different animals.

And at least we WON a couple of our 20/20's...unlike a certain Antipodean side...I bet they aren't crying down there and lamenting a certain loss of the Ashes....yet!!!

Aye.

Although, I'm not sure if I can cope with a summer of Shane Warne in the commentary box.
