India Wins the Semi-final, but Wahab Riaz is the Superstar

It's a sad day if you're a Pakistan fan, like me.  I stayed up most of the night to watch the battle, and I must say that Pakistan's fielding wasn't up to par.  My lovely lads got their timing all wrong, dropping catches and letting singles go for boundaries.  The pressure could have been a bit too much for them.  Umar Gul, disappointingly, did not have the skillz to pay the billz; the poor guy was having a bad day.  Lots of full tosses.  He was the last person I would have expected to crack under the pressure.

Then there were the 4 missed catches for Sachin Tendulkar of India.  He should have been caught out early on, but all the lovely lads had butterfingers and not the fingers of victory I was wishing for!!

So I'll say Good on India for their win over Pakistan, but I've got something even more important  to say this sunny yet sad morning in Melbourne.  Wahab Riaz ROCKED yesterday.  Great BOWLING!!!! He was on fire, a superstar in a match that saw the usual stars struggle for form.  And you know what?

 He looked damned good, too.  I bet no Indian or Sri Lankan bowler can get as many wickets and look so handsome at the same time! 

Therefore, my fellow fans of the bestest team ever, don't feel down, don't be sad.  Wahab Riaz is just a young fella who's still learning the complete art of pace bowling.  He was magnificent in this World Cup semi-final...can you imagine what he'll be like in the NEXT world cup when he's in peak form???  YES!  There's only one way to go from now Pakistan, and that is UP!

Chin up, everyone.  Pakistan lost this one, but we all know very well that our lads are on their way to becoming the dominating force in cricket!

Now go get your kitchen ready for tomorrow.  I'll show you how to make the Malinga Slinga cocktail (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions).

Toodles.
