2nd semi final: New Zealand vs Pakistan

[Fatal Shot]

Oram doesn't have the clearing power he used to. Injuries have taken a toll on his body.

Whoever bowls first will probably win. (Supposedly a Green pitch again)

WHAT? Not having Oram around is a blessing. Notice that we started winning as soon as he got injured.

True, but he's still better than Hopkins or Diremanti.

After seeing the way OZ played today, I say neither NZ or PAK have a good chance of winning this thing

If Pakistan Bowlers stop bowling too many no balls and wides then we can win this

 

[Annoyingdevil]

I hope rain destroys this match and NZ goes to final on the basis of being No.1 off their group

Coming from a guy who team sucks and got kicked out in the first round:laugh

That plus if Younus gets going, but my money is still on the Aussies.
Cliche as it sounds, you never know which Pakistan is going to show up, but I have a feeling that Australia will be prepared for anything Pak can throw at them.

Really hope Asif sneaks into the playing XI. Would love to see 4 Pakistani fast bowlers!

Elliott is a confirm starter but he'll be playing with a broken thumb.

Would have to be a real seamers pitch to leave out Ajmal.

 

[Raj_Aryan]

I guess J Ryder is out ,Bond and Taylor, Vettori are the key players for NZ,while Pak is a good side,balanced in all dept...

 

[Pak_cricketer]

All this talk about Pakistan's line up is pretty stupid. I don't understand what would make the management select a team other than what won against WI and India. The only reason the team changed against Australia was because Aamer needed a break, and a couple of injuries surfaced. But that's all fixed now.

If Pakistan are to bat first, we need a good start (and by that i mean Younus Khan needs to play a more sensible innings than he has done). Imran Nazir is just like rolling dice and Akmal just loves chop the ball onto his stumps. In all honesty, I wouldn't mind seeing Malik coming in one down instead of Younus.

Taylor is due to make a score. McCullum is due to go on with a start. New Zealand are due to win a semi final. Lets go boys.

Just like Oram is due a big score, lol. I love how some kiwis always say "Oram is due a big one this match" before every match.

I am really holding thumbs for you guys. Would love to see NZ take home the silverware

But Oram's ████, I don't think any Kiwis want him any the team anymore.

 

[CG123]

I think if we win this we will go all the way.
Agree with nz0003 that Taylor is due a score.
Bond will be the key with the ball and McCullum will be the key with the bat.

 

[Howsie]

Loving that nobody at all is giving New Zealand a chance, it's usually when we perform best.

Can't wait for tonight, all nighter here I come
