you got to be kidding me. The first wide was in the 37th over. thats pretty accurate bowling. All 5 bowlers got 2 wickets. so the bowling was good enough to win the match. who'd have thought India could win a match for its bowling ha

That's because the Pakistani openers chased 2 wide balls and got out.. it was just bizarre to see how Hafeez got out.. Asad Shafiq again played a bad shot on a ball that was not there to be cut.. the senior batsmen Younis and Misbah played poorly.. Younis got out playing an irresponsible shot.. he should have taken the burden on his shoulders and Misbah was opposite, played too slow and Shahid Afridi, A Razzaq etc did not fire the whole tournament.. they could not score 200 on Canada for crying out loud.. if I were you I could not be in any disillusion.. Indian bowling had nothing special to it.. it was some kamikaze batting from Pakistan that won them the game.. In the end the 6 dopped catches won India the match.. had those been taken who knows what the result would have been..

Looking forward to final now.. when did a host nation last win the WC? That will happen this time for sure..

I think it was in '96, the last time the WC was held in the sub-continent. Sri Lanka won it.

Should be an exciting final (I hope)

The match was good. Pakistan lost because of their own mistakes. I mean Shoaib Akhar was not playing, drop catches, Afridi's irresponsible batting yet again, avoiding the powerplay. I mean after all these mistakes, you can't win. 260 runs was not a big target. Anyway it is just a matter of game, no one should take it seriously.

Although if Shoaib was playing then Wahab probably wouldn't have played and he was Pakistan's best bowler.

    • Cuktech 10 Ultra charger review: big display, four ports, 110W total power

      By 31067 · Posted

      I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
