Pak Vs Ireland WC 2007 - Where did you watch it?

[jeeva_jeeva_pakistan]

does the memory of this game still haunt you?
still cant believe we lost this game?

[*sallu*]

home, I slept after the rain interval though, i knew the fate was settled and couldn't bare to watch it happen

[Alif anaar]

In depress

[akamaka]

i didnt.

Thought were gonna smash those no name green clothed leprechauns. Heard on the news, that a major upset has been caused as two heavyweights of cricket go crashing out of the world cup in the first round. And knew one of them must be Pakistan.

Even guys who didnt watch cricket, knew what an embarrassment that was.

[wez4all]

I always support pakistan no matter they win/lose but that game was one which made me hate cricket itself let alone pakistan. Real Heart Broken.
But India getting kicked out of the world cup did help to heal the wound.

[strongman123]

Bitterly disappointed with the early exit, I remember soon after we lost, I switched over to India's game and hoped that they would lose as well, did make me feel a little better

[Eagle_Eye]

Apparently... Inzi asked Sami not to bowl fast in that game......

[Mian Hassan]

ON my Sofa... The Tears on still on the same spot

That was my line!!!

[Opener]

I watched it in university rez where our rez fellow (a West Indian) lobbied to show the world cup on the big screen. Whats worse it was Saint Patts day and the whole city was green! A friend came out of his room,was making fun of India-Bangladesh saw Pakistan-Ireland on the screen and was dumbstruck. I can't forget his expression.

Another interesting story on where I saw the 99 final..........

[MISBAHYOUNUSROCK]

I wanted to die horrible day but bangladesh made it better by beating india

[Desi]

True story...

Live on my EX girlfriend's computer. She was getting pissed at me because I was on her computer when she wanted to go out shopping and her talking was just making me even more mad so I said go to the car and I will meet you there. I came down an hour later and she wasn't there anymore (later on she told me she walked). Suffice to say we broke up shortly after, she was an attention wh**e, and was foolish to think she could replace my passion for cricket.

Followed it on Cricinfo

[hashbb]

What a horrible day, was with all my family , we prepared lots of food , removed all furniture so everyone could sit down on the floor hooked the tv to the projecter big screen, oh man just thinking of it brings bad memories, i didn't eve know about the India game till i read in the paper the next day, couldnt sleep at all

[Fawad2010]

Honestly, I thought it was an un-fair match up and I didnt even watch it, expecting a heavy win turned on the tele later to see the unthinkable.

[Wasim_Waqar]

Watched Inzamam get out to Botha in a Sheffield butchers then left.

Didn't watch the rest- knew we would lose.

Worst thing is...even though we weren't at full strength, I still think we could've snuck into the semis

next you ask, ghar main bivi nahi he kiya?

[Crazy_K]

My cricket club had its presentation night on that same night. I left the party, jumped into the bar and cheered on Ireland. Half the club ended up there and the (cricket club) manager was going ballistic, trying to switch the tv off and get us out of there, though it wasn't working

for your information i didn't have sky sport at that time, now i do, so i can talk. so shhhhhhhhhh!

[PakZameen]

Was working, myself didn't have a internet access but the dispatcher did. He was Irish from his parents bloodlines even though he didn't care for cricket he was rooting for Ireland that day. So we checked the scores on cricinfo every 20 mins or so.

What made it worse was it was St.Patty's day so he was all pumped.

[No_Username]

I know what is peoples problem (cough cough cricnut) they have a problem with everything and have to make pointless points, who in the world cares that i didn't have sky sports at that time. Now i do, do you have a problem?
Status freak!

[Shaddy]

I watched in at my university's student lounge, where it was all green, no not the Pakistani green but the Irish St Patricks Green. The place had more Irish watching cricket than Pakistanis? If Somebody had told be that was going to happen one day, I would've probably slapped them let alone telling me that the Irish would actually win.

You're a douche.

Talking on PP doesn't take long. Cricket matches take hours. If you're a busy person with school, job, family it's hard tos it in front of the TV for 8 hours just to catch an ODI.

Apne kan se kan rakho.

[Garuda]

Was waching with my pakistani friend/colleague.

So both were consoling each other

The first thing he said was "Bhai bhai chale muh latkaa ke."

[WNC]

Was at home watching. Remember praying for a miracle when Sami sneaked 2 quick wickets

[SAF]

Didnt watch it. I thought we would crush the hell out of them...

Then my dad called. Saw that very last over and from that point on, I decided to forget cricket for a few months....

[Markhor]

I will never forget one line Nick Knight said after the match.

''This will have huge ramifications for Pakistan''.

Boy,oh boy was he right.

Bob Woolmer death,Inzamam retirement later that year.Terrible match to witness.

Does anyone remember when the camera turned to that horrid woman who started booing loudly when we went for an LBW appeal towards the end of the match ?

Awful time.

[MISBAHYOUNUSROCK]

we got our revenge in 2009 when gulla and co raped their respect out of them

[Garuda]

na, no one will remember.

Everyone will remember the rape they did in 2007

Same for Ind-Ban.

[anakwalajinn]

I have no idea what you are talking about

are you serious, if not , then its not funny.D

[pakcricketfan]

Watched the entire match in disbelief
That was one match in which I actually liked Sami!

[anakwalajinn]

I am with Hassan09876543210 on this one. I do not recall any such game except the one from T20 WC 2009

[Hassan0987]

Come on man, it's all fun cricket

[Mr.Awesome<(-_-)>]

At my cousins house, Very Embarrassing for us to lose a match like that , with a team like Ireland and in a tournament likeWorlcup

[KingKhanWC]

At home on my own. Held in my emotions until Inzy started to shed tears. Lost interest in the rest of the World Cup after.

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

Was in Pakistan to visit the family, never watched the match live but wen i hear that we lost and were out of the World Cup and a few hours later Woolmer died, was one of the worst days i have ever seen for Pakistan cricket.

[chui_kadoo]

The pain of that loss eased slightly when Imran Nazir hit that magnificent and destructive 160 in the next game.

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Watched it with the family in disbelief, hoping that someone would get a famous hattrick at the end.

Hardly watched the rest of the WC after Inzi's final game.

[PakPrince]

i didnt catch the whole game but saw the end of the pakistan innings and was in a state of disbelief when i saw our score. watched the first half of ireland's innings. Sami gave it his all but later when the writing was on the wall i just switched off the tv and went to bed but couldn't sleep. few hours later just switched on the tv to confirm thefinal result.

the day after is probably the gloomiest day that i have ever witneessed in my life. it waas raining pretty much all day and when i went to school it felt as if i was in a funeral. everyone was so quiet and not in a mood to speak to each other

[pakistanbest]

Was in my living room, i was heartbroken, waited for 4 years and was hoping against hope, we could bowl them out, was with my two older bros, what hppened after was a tragedy and Inzy did not deserve to go out that way, will always remember that :..but as others have said, India going out did heko

[pakistanbest]

When i went to school, everyone really got on my back, every boy and girl knew how strongly i followed Pakistan, was a sad and depressing time but time is a great healer

[Kriketer]

That WWF match was fun, no hard feelings...we know wwf is all drama/fixed.

[SAF]

Lol.i hope Ireland does the same to another heavyweight in this WC.

[IM NOT YOU]

for a moment i thought azhar mahmood's entire life's purpose was to bail pakistan out of that very situation. instead, he came, he got out, he went, we lost.

azhar mahmood was the joke of the world cup in my opinion.

[Shawaizz]

Oh lord.. i rememeber this match. I came to pakistan for march break and went to this golf club place in karachi with my family. i remember my mamu brother and i stayed up till like 3 am watching this in the club lobby and i didnt give u til the end my mamu wanted to go to his room and so did my brother but i stayed there all alone watching it there still hoping theyd win i actaully thought sami would bring them back into the game. i was very dissappointed. fun night tho

[Ammar0148]

I was at madrassah where majority were Indians, alot of whom just follow cricket 2 get 1 over us...dint know they lost but i got my be'izzati done BIG TIME! ....thot there couldnt be a worse moment ever...until Micheal 'the freak' Hussey raped us last year! :,-(
