[Prince of Pakistan]

This match isn't shown on Sky Sports red button? Nowhere on the net either. What a pity.

 

[10sion]

47/0 in 3 overs according to cricinfo. Finch laying into Kiwis!

 

[Sakss]

1 1wd 4 4 4 6 4 .. Looks like Finch is going Crazy

 

[Sakss]

106-0 off 7 overs


WOW

Warner 63 off 23
Finch 42 off 19

 

[SharingThePassion]

boys doing great

 

[TNA]

Australia: 106, 7 overs. What are they playing? Stick cricket?

 

[10sion]

Both batsmen with SR of over 200! Warner hit 5 :6s so far! Carnage!

 

[Sakss]

113-0 in 8 overs..

Is this being shown on tv?

 

[Sakss]

Both Batsmen Retired out

 

[Sakss]

Maxwell and Watson at the crease,,more trouble for NZ

 

[Sakss]

187-5 in 17.4 overs

 

[Aman]

Mills should have played last game.

 

[Mamoon]

Kiwis taken to the cleaners in both warm ups.

 

[Aman]

200 isn't as big as people are making it out to be, any of the 15 can bat...

 

[Aman]

8 bowlers used

 

[Mamoon]

They can bat but not in Bangladesh.

8-0

 

[Mamoon]

so NZ are going to go with Mills the ultimate trundler in the World T20? )

 

[Aman]

This chase won't be difficult if Guptill and Baz get going.

 

[Sakss]

200-7 ...Big Total

 

[mosh101]

Thats a big total !

Brendo and Guptill the key here for the kiwis !

 

[Aman]

Please don't open with Williamson

 

[Arsal_AK]

Warner and Finch.)

 

[Aman]

Williamson opening

 

[Aman]

Not enough on the board me thinks, 200 isn't 200 in these games...

 

[Aman]

Guptill on fire

4,1,6,4

 

[Aman]

Williamson out!

A blessing in disguise.

 

[lameduck]

NZ and AUS making full use of the short boundaries. Asian teams better use spinners to their strength.

 

[Aman]

We should win this with a over to spare. #FeartheKiwi #OZwho

 

[Aman]

lameduck, most of our batsmen hit the ball further than 75m anyway.

The small boundaries have only helped the SC teams, who are generally physically weaker than teams like NZ, Aus and SA.

 

[Aman]

Hogg getting phainty

Baz hundred coing up

 

[Aman]

How I wish this game was being televised

 

[SharingThePassion]

I am inclined to think that probably the ground is too small, as these guys are used playing on massive grounds (BB league etc). smallish grounds might turn this tournament into a bit of a joke.

 

[Aman]

NB six

Muirhead going at 17 an over.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Mccy alone should comfortably chase it down with 3+ balls to spare

 

[Aman]

I am inclined to think that probably the ground is too small, as these guys are used playing on massive grounds (BB league etc). smallish ground might turn this tournament into a bit of a joke.

NZ and Aus will kill the boundaries here.

 

[Sakss]

Crazy game wish this was on TV

 

[Aman]

McCullum out, next pinch hitter in

 

[Aman]

Anderson, Devcich, Munro, Neesham, Ronchi, Taylor, Nathan McCullum, Southee and Boult still to come.

 

[SharingThePassion]

To be fair 2 of NZ batsmen should retire out

 

[Arsal_AK]

NZ on a rampage.OZ bowlers being massacred.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Guptil to retire out.....

 

[bilawal666]

is this match not being televised?

 

[MarkCooper]

Astonishing how Haddin's form has vanished after the Ashes - he can't buy a run in any form.

 

[Aman]

Go for 100 guppie

 

[Poison]

LOL poor Muirhead is being absolutely phaintified! We will probably give him 5 wickets

 

[Aman]

Astonishing how Haddin's form has vanished after the Ashes - he can't buy a run in any form.

Says a lot about your bowlers, doesn't it ?

 

[desi_launda]

some serious hitting going on..shame it's not televised

NZ well on the way to chase 200...muirhead getting spanked

 

[Aman]

200 on this ground in a warm up between these teams was only really like 180.

 

[desi_launda]

jinxed.muirhead gets a wicket

 

[Aman]

Anderson in next.

 

[Aman]

Need to choke big to lose this one but it should be easy with plenty of batting still to come.

 

[Poison]

We're playing here next right? Should be interesting

 

[Mamoon]

Kiwi Lala's time to shine

 

[Aman]

Nvm, Munro in.

 

[Mamoon]

Taylor bites the dust again

His form is a worry for NZ. The only proper batsman in the team.

 

[Aman]

Anderson in, surely we can't lose it

 

[Aman]

Taylor bites the dust again

His form is a worry for NZ. The only proper batsman in the team.

Williamson and Guptill?

 

[Aman]

Hogg on fire, 2 in 2..

 

[Aman]

Rofl? Mitch )

 

[Mamoon]

Williamson and Guptill?

Williamson isn't a natural free flowing batsman while Guptill goes AWOL when the real deal starts.

I remember him murdering England in the ODI series before the CT last year but put on Harry Potter's invisibility cloak when the real business commenced.

 

[Aman]

Nvm, Ronchi in

How many batsmen do Pakistan have then?

 

[Poison]

How many batsmen do Pakistan have then?

Just the one

 

[Mamoon]

None but we have top quality bowling unlike you.

Haha

 

[Aman]

Other than Amir and Ajmal, I wouldn't want any of Pakistan's bowlers.

 

[Aman]

Just a warm up, but a win against Australia regardless of format or context is always good in my books.

 

[Poison]

Other than Amir and Ajmal, I wouldn't want any of Pakistan's bowlers.

Hai? I know NZ's quickies are quality atm but Afridi/Hafeez or any one of our army of left arm spinners would walk into NZ. Kaneria easily surpasses Vettori (best spinner you guys have produced)

 

[Aman]

Why would you want to play 2 spinners in NZ? Hafeez maybe for McCullum, but Anderon > Afridi anyday.

 

[Aman]

Side chasing was always going to have the inside running in this game.

Both batting line ups are just too strong.

 

[Poison]

LOL Anderson bowls potties and hits bombs on some of the smallest grounds in the world.

 

[Poison]

Actually I take that back, I like Anderson as a batsman he is quality He still bowls poos

 

[Aman]

He's still a work in progress, would definitely take him over Mr 0 (1)

 

[razabbas]

SO NZL have chased the target

 

[Aman]

11 needed off 9, man if Ronchi hits the winning runs )

 

[Aman]

A twist? Ronchi out, 3 wickets left

 

[Aman]

10 off 7.

Devich in.

 

[Aman]

9 needed off the last over.

 

[razabbas]

9 from 3

 

[Aman]

Neesham out
