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

[aussie1st]

They have lost constant wickets and are now well behind the 8 ball in terms of run rate required.

 

[Chewie]

We still have Oram and Mills to come so we do have batting power left

WTF where is gul

I thought it was good a decision - Riaz with pace and reverse-swing just went for 13. Spinners were keeping it tight, so might as well try one more over to build the pressure. It worked, although feel sorry for Taylor. It was a 50-50 decision.

 

[Paki007]

oh it was out a tough decision but still was out

and count how many decisions turned against us

 

[aussie1st]

Dam so jealous of Pakistan, they always seem to find these good death bowlers. First Tanvir in the T20 WC semi against us and now they have Riaz producing that.

 

[Papa_Smurf]

I honestly can't see how the Kiwi's will do well in the WC. If you're struggling to chase less than 270 against Pak, how will you chase over 300 against the big dogs?

Great yorker. We will still win though. I'm always optimistic if you haven't realised But yeah, we've got this.

 

[Papa_Smurf]

what a beauty from Riaz! Waqar is making sure his coaching is taking effect

If you ask Rig just win 3 matches that's all. The Kiwis do show up to the WC apparently haven't missed a Semi and they certainly have the players. But McMillian ain't confident in them at all.

 

[Paki007]

what? is 270 is not a good fighting score and you are saying against pakistan?


wow for your info may be our batting is not too good but everybody knows our bowling's quality

 

[ferg512]

Great stuff from Wahab, he has been really impressive on this tour. More than capable replacement for Amir.

 

[Paki007]

yeah i dont know why people still shout for amir i am following riaz since he was a domestic player he has been great death bowler

 

[Papa_Smurf]

Their bowling's good no doubt, but it's too hot and cold with Akhtar and Gul and Afridi being 3 of the main bowlers. For the first time in a long time, Pak's batting is their stronger suit. Explosive top order with Akmal and Shehzad, with calm Hafeez at the other end. Then solid middle order of Younis and Misbah, then the explosive lower order, followed by the hard hitting tail of Tanvir, Gul and Riaz.

And Oram!! maybe Chewie's right

 

[Chewie]

Oram batting half decently

Granted, I am guessing from Cricinfo commentary, but he's actually scoring more than a run a ball within his first 10 balls!

 

[Papa_Smurf]

And I just jinxed him :P
