Beating Australia in the ICC World Cup seemed a distant dream, but Pakistanis are still holding out hope.

Australia will win. No doubt. Can India beat Australia in semi final? Very difficult task. But as an Indian I wish all the best for Indian team.

Pakistan is likely to loose, against Aussies, and waiting to watch the reactions of Pakistanis.

Bowlers will give a good go from Pakistani end and hope to see that display before they go home back. After all its a game and the best team take the win!
Salute for Misbah and Afridi for playing for the country for this long! Have a good retirement life. You both represented us with dignity without a hintch of corruption.

@abrar
When Pak can be bowled out for a low total, it is possible for Aus to be bowled out also. This is the beauty of cricket. Aus will be under pressure to chase a moderate total. A few early wickets and Aus will wilt/implode

Australia is a top professional side and deserves to go through. Unlike our moody players....i hope Afridi & Co. really retire after this.

No doubt, it is Australia's World Cup. They are so professional that even a combined team of Ind and Pak can not do any thing. Still I will hope and pray for Mera Mahan Bharat.

No matter even Pak loose here, my god they won million hearts by their bowling attack, salute to their intensity and the fight bk against arrogant aussies. My spl salaute to Wahab's spell. This is Wt we missed to see in the Pak's earlier matches, sadly batting let down the pak.

Pakistan deserve to loose. Aussies were better in all departments.
Once again openers and batting flopped.

Poor fielding and drop catches of Glen Maxwell and Shane Watson, has led to the Pakistan's loss. Even the Pakistan batting was very substandard.

Well, these all tweets were good, appreciate sense of humor of the tweeters. On a serious note, let us at least, get rid of Umer Akmal as he is going to be a continuous liability like Afridi for years to come

Ajmal is our #1 bowler
Irfan is our #2 bowler
Junaid is our #4 bowler
Hafeez is our #5 bowler
Wahab #3 was the only regular bowler really.
Name me one team that could put up a half decent performance with bowlers 1,2,4,5 missing?

@kulwant singh It is waste of time playing against Australia,NZ and no wonder India was avoiding them because they knew both teams will provide opposition Green top with grasses on the top.That will end of Asian teams batting the moment ball start coming down there throat.

India is the favourit. Mostly it has been batting which carried India but its first time in their cricket history that you can't tell which one of the batting or bowling is performing better. So I wish india to go all the way now that Pakistan is out.

People commenting on "best" Pakistani bowling, well...Aussie scored on an average of 6.4 . The got 213 in 33.5 overs by loosing just 4 wickets. I don't think it was very special bowling from Pakistan.They got the thrashing by Aussies.

Thanks Pakistan for entertaining us with high quality pace bowling. It was a treat to watch Wahab. He made Watson look like a school boy. Best wishes for the future to Pak cricket team. I'm a big fan of Indian batting and Pakistani bowling. Respect for Misbah. I admire his calm demeanor and full effort.
