Prankistan on All Fools' Day

West Indies recall Shivnarine Chanderpaul in place of Chris Gayle for their de facto quarter-final against Pakistan. #AprilFools

Some high level technical chat between Ramiz & Hafeez. Ramiz "happy, happy?". Hafeez "very happy, thank you so much" #PakvWI #wt20

Hafeez gets Gayle yet again. He's bowled six balls to him in T20 cricket. Three dismissals. One run. #WackStat https://t.co/F2l1tDkMAK

Pakistan have not conceded a free hit in over 200 overs! HOLY FLASHING WICKETS BATMAN!

Synchronised Fielding..a new Olympic sport? #PakvWI #WT20 pic.twitter.com/yRFAoaxp24

They lost points for Afridi's hat coming off. 6.5/10

floats like an afridi, glides like a gul… #wt20

I want Afridi and Gul to come to my wedding's dance practices, what coordination!!
— Mia (@omgnashlol) April 1, 2014
All jokes aside, @icc could actually pitch synchronized fielding as an Olympic Event. Make more sense than curling that's for sure

#AskAkram Did you like the HIMYM finale? Were Ted and Robin meant to be together?

Would you rather be attacked by a horse sized duck or 10 duck sized horses? @ICC #AskAkram

Ajmal and Akmal appealing is straight out of a horror movie. Exactly when the killer draws open the shower curtain. #wt20
— HoldingWilley (@holdingwilley) April 1, 2014
Was that an Lbw chance? Was that dropped by kakmal? Doesn't matter. Lendl Simmons tried every way possible to get himself out on that ball.

WI sent Ramdin in to face 11th over... They don't plan to win tonight #PakvWI

Saeed Ajmaulled... #wt20

That was an amazing April's Fools prank from Saeed Ajmal.

At the end of the day, CSK is the winner RT @maxdavinci MEK Hussey vs Ajmal or BJ Bravo vs Ajmal #Youprefer

"Run out by Kamran Akmal." Something usually only experienced by his batting partners! #WIvPAK

Sammy is undoubtedly the best finisher of the game after Dhoni and Duckworth Lewis.

dwayne bravo and darren sammy must be the most likeable destroyers in world cricket

in the interest of fairness, after dedicating his ton to his critics https://t.co/Qa60AIIwNA ahmed shehzad should do the same for his duck!

Pakistan need to see off Santokie, Badree and Hafeez here.
— karachikhatmal (@karachikhatmal) April 1, 2014
4 overs Pakistan 9/3.. InshAllah we can survive the first session and attack after lunch.
— Hamster (@Hamster41) April 1, 2014
13 in the Powerplay equals the least by a Test-playing side in a T20I. WI had made the same score v Pak in Kingstown in 2013
— S Rajesh (@rajeshstats) April 1, 2014
Fairly confident it is harder to NOT hit a boundary in the powerplay. Impressive
— Peter Miller (@TheCricketGeek) April 1, 2014
This is all happening because Shahid Afridi is never in the countdown.
— Sarah (@SarahKn5) April 1, 2014
Pakistan's score had spent more time in the awkward teens than I did.
— karachikhatmal (@karachikhatmal) April 1, 2014
Pakistan are hitting some MONSTER 30 metre sixes!
— karachikhatmal (@karachikhatmal) April 1, 2014
What is the meaning of this partnership? How to Troll Afridi 101?
— Sidvee (@sidvee) April 1, 2014
If Mohammed Hafeez's 19 off 32 was an illness, it would be haemorrhoids. Painful for the duration, and embarrassing to speak of. #WIvPAK
— Alternative Cricket (@AltCricket) April 1, 2014
Afridi was seething that Maqsood played an aggressive shot and got stumped. How do you say "irony" in Urdu? #PAKvWI
— Alternative Cricket (@AltCricket) April 1, 2014
Pakistan and Afridi have about 0.01% chance, but yet you HAVE to watch. Just in case...

104 needed off 36 balls with 4 wickets in hand. "Hang in there Pakistan," says Ramiz Raja on air. #wt20
— ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) April 1, 2014
You know things are bad when Afridi is your most CONSISTENT batsman of a tournament.

Prankistan! #AprilFoolsDay #wt20 #PakvWI

Even the West Indians are too embarrassed to do the Gangnam.
— karachikhatmal (@karachikhatmal) April 1, 2014
gul and afridi, synchronised batting didn't last #wt20
— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) April 1, 2014
Come on guys, have some class. Just because Pakistan are doing badly in the game doesn't mean we should make fuHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
— oculus (@daddy_san) April 1, 2014
In hindsight, that was a supremely entertaining but utterly pointless partnership between Bravo and Sammy in the first innings. #WIvsPak
— Deepak Narayanan (@deepakyen) April 1, 2014
So semi finals is #Big1 versus #Little3! #wt20
