CT 2009 | Semi Final 2| 3/10/09 | Pakistan V New Zealand | Wanderers | NZ Innings

[Osman]

uh oh

 

[Khurram]

Rr 5.20

 

[Gollum]

That six ruined the good work of the last four overs!

 

[khilari]

130 runs from 150 balls with 7 wickets in hand.... NZ has the control at the moment.

 

[LG]

NZ playing a waiting game here .. good exibition of cricket ...

Yeah, you don't see this in T20!!

 

[Poison]

How priceless are the contributions of Aamer and Ajmal looking now?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

104-3 after 25

This going to be a tight finish

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Come on Pakistan

 

[Momo]

Kami says Shabaash Shahid bhai no matter who is bowling.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

We need something extraordinary in the field

 

[Sparhawk]

Great bowling from Afridi.. hes bowling the perfect length to ross taylor

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Afridi gets away with a full toss thanks to YK's stop

 

[Deewana Mastana]

just short of Malik

 

[godzilla]

taylor is definitely the danger man, and as i type, he just was nearly caught by malik at point - just an inch short of him

 

[Deewana Mastana]

106 for 3 after 26

 

[LG]

Kami says Shabaash Shahid bhai no matter who is bowling.

It's the Afridi effect. No wonder everybody's kissing him, too.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

afridi another corker of an over catch nearly carried

 

[sehban]

need a wicket quickly here, this partnership has added 39

 

[slix10]

At this point we were about 100/4.

 

[iZeeshan]

We really need to break this partnership. It could take everything away from us

 

[octavian]

this is slipping away.. need Taylor's wicket here quick

 

[Rizwan25]

Time for a wicket!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rana back for his 2nd spell

 

[Muzy]

rrequired run rate 5.33 so we need to get this even more up now

and well now Rana Banana on to bowl.....

 

[cricketpassion]

I thought he was a cheetah fielder anywhere...

He is one of the best fielder anywhere in the fieled thats why i am saying good fielders required in the cirlcle at the moment so singles can be stopped .I hope you get the point

 

[Gollum]

this is slipping away.. need Taylor's wicket here quick

Have faith. The match is under control.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

rana back

important spell

 

[godzilla]

bishop just asked akram if theres going to be any reverse swing tonight.

dont think so if the umpires keep changing the ball.

 

[ali_ed2006]

Rana is back. damn.

 

[Gollum]

Rana is back.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Important spell for Rana and Pakistan

Good change Rana Naved says Wasim Akram

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

We are just one wicket (Taylor's specifically) from having control of this game so YK really needs to attack him and stop giving these singles

 

[Momo]

Rambo come back! Critical spell this.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Rambo comes back in, this could be a masterstroke or a terrible decision. A very important period of play

 

[Deewana Mastana]

good start by Rana

 

[godzilla]

dot ball. when do you reckon hell bowl te rank long hop or leg side gift? my bet is on ball 5.

second dot ball...

 

[Gollum]

I hope he doesn't bowl a mandatory rubbish ball for a change.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

good start so far by rana 2 balls in

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Rambo needs to try and Waqar them, there is no swing atm so he cannot give anything loose

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Partnership of 36 between Taylor and Elliot

 

[CrickFan]

Rana leaked too many runs in his first spell .. Cmon wickets yaar

 

[godzilla]

rank long hop ball 4. i was wrong.

 

[Momo]

127 off 141

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Need some inswinging yorkers here

 

[the Great Khan]

We need a wicket..got to keep chippin away..I think nz are favourites but let's fight till the end!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

all this talk about wasim being anti-pak..its so refreshing to hear him in the commentary box, he talks about the pakistani players as though he is in the team, as if he is their captain..and he is genuinely happy about the boys performance.

 

[Gollum]

Some one needs to bowl a magical spell here

 

[Mohsin]

taking this wat too easy for some reason

 

[filosofee]

Feel a 7-wicket rout coming on - hope I'm wrong and it's less than 5!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Nazir misfield but the batsmen do not take advantage

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fielding is the biggest concern here

 

[Momo]

Moyo is a liability in the field.

And I forgot, in batting too.

 

[godzilla]

akram taking the mick out of yousuf with his comment that obvioulsy the batters know that anything over to yousuf is two runs.

5 off the over.

 

[saqeeb90]

pakistan needs wickets on constant basis.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

nelson after 27

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Some one needs to bowl a magical spell here

ala Shoaib of 99 semi final for sure

 

[imshally81]

time for SM

 

[Sparhawk]

That six really changed everything, now we are the ones desperate to break this partnership

 

[godzilla]

Nazir misfield but the batsmen do not take advantage

he did well to get there to be fair, it shoudl have been four runs.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

111-3 after 27

 

[dblock]

We are just one wicket (Taylor's specifically) from having control of this game so YK really needs to attack him and stop giving these singles

This is a good track.

If the lower order comes in with no fear, even in slog mode they will be hard to stop unless it's reversing.

 

[godzilla]

afridi still bowling too short.

 

[coy0607]

oh no........the idiot commentator is back

 

[Rizwan25]

Game slipping away...

 

[The Slogger]

chal afridi dekhaday kamaal

 

[the true passionist]

need a wicket - the batsmen are looking comfortable.

 

[CrickFan]

Rana is not going to scare NZ with his bowling ..Pak needs wickets here ..containment won't work ..kiwis have 7 wickets in hand and although there are no world class batsmen in the line up..they are all pretty handy with the bat

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

anyone know why the ball was changed?

 

[Poison]

This is a good track.

If the lower order comes in with no fear, even in slog mode they will be hard to stop unless it's reversing.

Are we watching the same game? Ajmal was getting outrageous turn.

 

[imshally81]

need wktttttttttttttttt

 

[Amir]

Just seems all too easy now. We need a wicket from our star spinners.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

RR is 5.34 but NZ have this game in their grasp right now

 

[Mohsin]

all this talk about wasim being anti-pak..its so refreshing to hear him in the commentary box, he talks about the pakistani players as though he is in the team, as if he is their captain..and he is genuinely happy about the boys performance.

well said

 

[godzilla]

wide ball. good stop by kami

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wide by Afridi

28 gone 115 for 3

 

[The Slogger]

Afridi is bowling in a weird way today

 

[godzilla]

well said

agreed.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

GAH! These singles are just too easy, we need to make the batsman go for boundaries. Bring the field in, have a gap open or something to try and entice the batsman.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Wide from Afridi

 

[Seen Sheen]

Afridi is bowling well but I think he hasnt been at his best 2day!what do u guys think?
