Kiwis won and chose to bat.

 

[inzidabest]

Are the Irish like praying on the field before playing..the unity factor u see

 

[kablooee87]

Fleming: "We take Ireland as serious as any team we have been playing.We have had people watching their games, we have videos, and respect is a very key component of how we're going in this tournament. We must respect the opposition and conditions."

The bolded part is the relevant portion. Saying you aren't going to be complacent isn't going to help if you don't back it up. Ireland acquired info on Pakistan from South Africa. They did their homework. Fleming looks like he's done his today.

 

[kablooee87]

I didn't watch the last NZ match. How did Mason get injured?

Someone from the Pakistan team said "They are not a team whose videos we watch"...Pakistan is now watching this game on the TV with keen interest. So is India because they have a tour of Ireland coming up.

Yea those were the comments that really got me worried. I know there were others who were worried too. Some PPers made topics trying to quell the pessimism but attitudes like that made you wonder.

 

[kablooee87]

After a couple of matches with decent crowds, we have a virtually empty stadium.

The "dream team" of commentators (Raja and Fernando) is on .

 

[Easa]

No interest AT ALL in this game, what a waste of time it is.

 

[kablooee87]

are you watching kablooe?

 

[kablooee87]

are you watching kablooe?

yes, Sopcast.

 

[kablooee87]

Things looking just a bit dicey for NZ. If they aren't careful, they might find themselves in a situation they won't fancy.

 

[kablooee87]

Styris gets away with an edge. Had a swipe at a wide ball. No slips in place. Chance goes begging.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

I could give a link.
Man. Ireland playing good for a team that is as good as Zimbawe who are at #10.

 

[kablooee87]

Things continue to lean more and more towards Ireland now. RR below 5.

Another wicket or two and it's game on.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

Have to agree. Few quick wickets. Maybe two or three, then the game is on!

Just two or one more wickets, then this game is gonna get interesting.

 

[Straight Bat]

84-3 rr 4.9

 

[Straight Bat]

how come ross taylor isn't palying? Is it injury or is it just form?

 

[Straight Bat]

Mcmillan 3 runs, cut off on the boundry

 

[shahidrazzaq]

I think it is injury. I don't really know.
But I think it is injury cuz he has been playing good in the previous matches.

 

[Straight Bat]

88-3 18 overs completed

 

[Straight Bat]

I think it is injury. I don't really know.
