Group B - 9th Match Netherslands v Pakistan

[King Pietersen]

Shah always looks woefully out of form, and then he suddenly clicks into form. He needs to start clicking and finding some timing soon though, or else this run rate's going to stall in the middle overs. Again.

 

[Mercules]

Running between wickets has been poor imo.

Difference is that KP has twice as many runs off the same number of balls.

 

[SciD]

Same position as last game for England.

Shah SR: 103.12
Glad he was able to cash in on playing himself in... :

 

[King Pietersen]

Not really Sid. We've accelerated after the first 10, not taken our foot off the gas. Pietersen's still out there as well, he is key from here. If he bats the full 20 then we'll have a massive score. He won't though, he'll be out in a minute.

King Pietersen added 3 Minutes and 0 Seconds later...

50 for KP. What a man. Forget Bopara, I'm a KP fanboy once more

 

[barmyarmy]

Hope Colly can pull something out here or we get Dimi in soon.
3 runs in the 15th over ain't good enough.

 

[King Pietersen]

Colly gone. Gotta be Dimi time now. Hopefully he'll smack a few. We can't afford to stall at the end, we need at least 180.

King Pietersen added 3 Minutes and 55 Seconds later...

FFS KP. This isn't what we wanted. What a twat.

 

[barmyarmy]

Another stuttering second half of the innings. Well bowled though.
180 would be good from this position.

 

[Leicester Fox]

England losing all momentum as per. See whether Dimi can get it to the boundary. Should have played Napier.

 

[King Pietersen]

We'll stumble across the line and make 170 now, unless by some miracle Dimi manages to hit some boundaries. Has he actually managed to do that since his over against Yuvraj?

 

[barmyarmy]

It's deja vu all over again...

 

[Leicester Fox]

I think Dimi did well in a twenty20 against NZ. He's doing all right here compared to the rest of the circus.

 

[Themer]

Or is it...

 

[barmyarmy]

I think Dimi did well in a twenty20 against NZ. He's doing all right here compared to the rest of the circus.

I'm actually a fan in as much as I see him as a finisher who can hit boundaries at the close.
Gul will be pretty right in this final over I reckon.
