Super 8: 18th Match NZ v Pakistan

[Howsie]

Yeah Styris will be the key during the middle overs. Guptill, McCullum and Broom can all be tied down by spin pretty easily sometimes. McGlashan is pretty much the only other batsmen I would trust to play spin well.

BTW did you not see the Pak-WI game, that's where this game is being played.

I watched abit, big ground, which is awesome for NZ, more two's and three's on offer and with our quick running we'll take em. Pakistan is pretty weak in the field and there running between wickets isn't too good. The plan should be work the spinners for 2's and 3's and then the odd boundary. It looks a good track and whoever bats first should make around 180.

Sweet. Who's batting first?

And who got droped.

 

[nz0003]

We're batting, we should of bowled!

Razzaq is back for Pakistan.

 

[Howsie]

180 minimum. Redmond to out score McCullum again.

180 minimum. Redmond to out score McCullum again.

I doubt you'll need that much tbh, Pakistan's batting looks weak.

 

[nz0003]

Happy with the team, I'm glad Butler got up.

Macca and Azza need a good start.

 

[Master Khan]

Dame we lost the toss..so far its a bad start

 

[Howsie]

fearsome tweak our anthem is long.

 

[nz0003]

flip our anthem is long.

Haha its really annoying after the first verse.

This is a must win for both teams. I doubt New Zealand will beat Sri Lanka next game. So this is a must win for NZ

Amir is feeling the pressure. I mean why bowl a 17 year-old to a batsmen of such calibre as Brendon McCullum. Why not open the bowling with Umer Gul? :

 

[nz0003]

Razzaq opening the bowling, suprising.

 

[Master Khan]

Got to go and see Razzaq play!! :happy

 

[Howsie]

McCullum's out, come on Guptill.

And what's up with Wasim Akram saying everybody in the Pakistan team is their best fielder.
