Come on Pakistan!!!

Those interested in cricket probably know about the Twenty20 world cup that just finished. It's a form of the game which, as the title suggests, contains 20 overs (an over consists of 6 balls) and is probably the most exciting version of the game to watch. 

The tournament just finished and the team I support, Pakistan, went against all odds to win it by beating Sri Lanka. Seeing as they've had no practice coming into the tournament as they can't really play in their own country I'm really proud of their performance as they improved lot along the way.

As most people on GB are American so I don't expect many of you to watch or understand cricket but I think everyone should give it a try, especially Twenty20. It's fast paced and people go for big shots so you don't have much down time like in test cricket.

Anyway are there any cricket fans here on GB? And specifically any Pakistani fans?

Cricket? Pakistani cricket fans? No offence dude but I think you made the wrong turn at google avenue.

Yea Pakistan did really well, I don't think many people would have backed them after their opening game against England but they did well.

On a random tangent why haven't they made a cricket game for the Wii yet? I think it would work well especially with motionplus.

I am a cricket fan. Twenty20, however, is not cricket. You might as well just watch baseball. It's the same premise. Hit the ball as hard as you can and then run as fast as you can. It contains none of the skill and strategy of proper cricket.

I only watch the Ashes.

I'm not a fan of Pakistan

I was under the impression that nobody likes cricket. I guess I was wrong.

I'm from England but I'm not much of a sports guy.

I'd probably rather watch the actual insect sing along in a barbershop quartet...well probably not but you get the idea, if you don't, well better luck next time.

the final was a rather flat match towards the end compared to most of the other matches, and was a bit disappointing. but the better team on the night won.

my dad is but i have no interest in sports
