Pakistani Tour of New Zealand, Dec-Feb 2010/11

^Nothing to be too happy about. Infact this win makes me madder. How can Pakistan be so inconsistent . They lost the last two games so easily yet beat the same team by a 103 runs margin.

Pakistan is always inconsistent from the start of their cricket(obviously not like that). Whatever I guess its better to enjoy victories since they were very rare or controversial this year.

I enjoyed Afridi's english at post match presentation.

When your top four get out for ducks you're playing terribly.

Pakistan have traditionally dominated New Zealand teams of past that were a lot better than current Kiwi outfit. It is really sad to see them lose the series to such low quality opposition keeping in mind what the Bangladeshis did to them.

Man we were pretty woeful tonight. Although Pakistan played well, our pace bowlers were pretty crap as was our batting. You can give up really, when your top four batsman are out for ducks. Mills and Milne were just bowling length at the death, at least Southee strung together a few yorkers. Could really have done with Michael Bates out there...

Today's win

Today's win of Pakistan against New-z-land have no effect on series conclusion but it has raised interest of Pakistani cricket fans to running series...

 

[vernonpurcell]

is New-z-Land a difficult team??

First two win's and than an amazing loose by New-z-Land.
This team was defeated by India in all matched of series but they are posing themselves as tough competitors in current series against Pakistan.
New-z-land is difficult team OR Pakistan is a weak team now?

Three things to note from this:

-- NZ's top order absolutely bottling it
-- The talent that is Adam Milne and Ahmed Shahzad - they'll get better age. Great techniques.
-- Afridi's 134km/h wicket to Southee, beauty that

By the way, whats the kit called that most of the Pakistan team use. The gear with that hemp looking logo on it ? ie. Helmets, bats, etc.

 

[War]

More future series should have 3 T20 instead of two like what the NZ did here.

Doesn't a spinner have to inform the umpires/batsmen before he switches to fast-medium?

*thought about it, then left it alone*

DWTA, I don't think I've watched a more pointless series tbh, even the selectors didn't seem to take it seriously with some of the selections, players like Brownlie and Milne for example weren't exactly picked because of their exploits in domestic 20/20 cricket.

On Adam Milne, I'm sort of glad what happened did happen tbh, last thing we needed was him making his List A debut in an ODI later next month, which more than likely would have happened had he posted up some impressive figures. I still don't think he actually bowled that poorly tbh, for a 18 year old that's bowling 150+ his line in both games was pretty good, it's just the length he bowled is always going to get punished in T20 cricket.

 

[Chewie]

I didn't see it but I'm pretty sure Afridi didn't bowl 134. I think there was a problem with the speedgun because the rest of his deliveries that over were recorded as pretty quick too

 

[Insomniac]

Actually, Afridi really did bowl 134.

You should've seen the ball, it was way faster than anything India's opening bowlers could achieve

 

[2black2good]

Well that was ugly for us.. but I guess we've always wanted to be as good as Australia at cricket

God Afridi's faster ball was crazy, shame he doesn't use it very often.
