Cheema do the honour and break the stumps

Or do what he did to KP and bowl a full toss on the batsmens hip and watch it disappear out of the ground off the last ball, ultimately costing his team the match

Bowled him.Inspirational bowling by Gul at death .Watch the game for not more than 30 minutes so would not be ideal person to comment on this game but BRING IT ON INDIA.If Gul and Riaz are at their best against India, then this time they will succumb to pace on the flattest tracks of the world.

This win for Pak was never in doubt I said a win by 50 runs but 21 will do.

Was always in doubt particulary when Bangla needed 39 off 40 with 2 batsmen having scored in exess of 50 at the crease.

PR. Only kidding bud and know little about Cheema. You rate him highly enough? He has a great bowler playing with him who can show him how to bowl under pressure. Gul is a monster at the death. Great win today mate and keep it going. I applaud Bangladesh who have made a great game of this <applaud>
To Afridi, Not the guy playing today but the one who posts on here Neil Warnock is a GOD? lol

Nah,I do not rate him that highly. I think there atleast couple more talented young pacies in domestic circuit waiting for their turn.

Lucky lucky Pakistan. Didn't follow game today but it's clear we were lucky. Bowlers once again saved the batsman blushes with both ball and bat. Play like this against Sri Lanka and India and its a quick exit.
Well played to BD. let's hope they can produce a shock although today they should have batted first which was a big mistake.
