I won't be able to watch. I don't think my heart can handle it.
Is that dedication, obsession, or plain lameness?
You are`nt the only one my friend, but thats India-Pakistan cricket at its best, The last time we faced Pakistan was also an almost knockout like game in the Asia Cup which turned out to be a thriller.
I don`t see an India-Pak game happening in the semis. One of the 2 teams will miss out on the bus to the semis.
I remember that in the 2000 ICC Knockout Trophy, everyone was anticipating an India-Pakistan final when India faced South Africa in the semis and Pakistan faced NZ, the easier semifinal of the two. In the end, NZ beat Pakistan and although India went on to beat SA, NZ won the trophy.
The only time I remember the encounter actually happening was in the 2007 T20 WC, where India beat Australia to reach the finals after Pak beat NZ.
Is it only me, or do Pakistan always draw NZ in the semis of big events! In fact, I can clearly remember us facing Australia in the quarters of 1998 and 2000 ICC Knockouts and the 2007 T20 WC semis. Our semifinal opponents in 2002 and 2000 ICC Champions Trophy were SA. And we`ve won all these games previously
This India-Aus q/f is too close to call. I favor Australia 55-45.
