Anyone who had missed the IPL second semi final will definitely regret it. The semi-final was simply awesome and showed the power cricket at its best. The star of the show was Lance Klusner, he was best of his game and proved that 20/20 is not only slogging but to play shots according to merit. Lahore badshahs were nearly lost but Klusner’s fate once again betrayed him. He was unable to hit in the last over which cost them match. Tigers lost the momentum in between, they were behind run-rate and were unable to recover fully. The match took a dramatic turn when Sami dropped Klusner on Naveed’s bowling and also bowled a very sloppy last over but thanks to Azhar Mehmmod’s experience who bowled an excellent last over which eventually saved the match. Badshahs were clearly feeling the heat for the very first time in this tournament and their nerves were not in control. They have done some very sloppy work in the ground and also in the bowling department. Heroes must have saw this match and they will definitely apply tactics in final learned from this game. IPL is now on its peak and both semi-finals were very close. Tomorrow will be the first final, lets see who will win. Those who have missed can see it on you tube tomorrow.

Shoaib Akhtar’s troubles continued with the Indian Premier League deciding that he won’t be allowed to feature in its tournament till the end of his five-year ban or until his ban is lifted. This is a pure political decision by IPL chairman and shows how hypocrite he is. Its very funny to hear that a man of numbers and money is talking about cricket moral values and discipline. Anyhow this is not a correct decision and IPL is not governing by PCB or ICC, If IPL has any law which prevents any player for playing in IPL because he has banned by his board then it is fine, otherwise i think that this decision is only a stunt for getting cheap publicity. I hope that new Pakistani government will take action to dismiss current Pakistani board and revert this decision. This will only help Cricket in Pakistan.
