[Afridi_Fan]

Vettori looks really down.

Because he knows who will be in the Final.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Because he knows who will be in the Final.

Insha'Allah Bro

 

[SameerP]

South Africa looks very dangerous in this tournament, specially

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

It would be really funny if NZ were able to pull it out of the bag and somehow beat SA

 

[Fawad2010]

McCullum

 

[Afridi_Fan]

)

There goes The Baz.

 

[sehban]

mcullum is terribly overated..... he is even more irresponsible than afridi at times

 

[JilaWatan]

mccullum was the only reason i was watching this game....dang it! aye im bout to sleep. g'night PP

 

[PakPosheeda]

What a catch by Peterson.

BTW, I see people really care about this quarter final.

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[IAJ]

McCullum seems only to be a minnow basher!

 

[ddss]

I sense a Pak-WI kind of match

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Not a maiden over.

 

[adnan yasin]

good captaincy by smith ... by bringing botha after the mccullum

come on proteas ...

 

[adnan yasin]

lose shot by guptil there goes another wicket

 

[Atif]

Guptil is , what a poor shot

 

[Atif]

I sense a Pak-WI kind of match

I sense that too..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another one bits the dust.

)

 

[adnan yasin]

May b it will be a low scoring crunch match

as proteas can choke any time while chasing

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Morne Aala rey aala.

[Amjid Javed]

Kiwis will need 250 here to be competative!

 

[MIG]

sorry - thread closed by mistake

 

[adnan yasin]

thats what i was thinking ..what happen . . why is it closed

is the PP mods not interested in the match or what

 

[Atif]

77/2 after 20 overs. Good recovery from NZ here, after they were 16/2 at one point.

 

[adnan yasin]

they are playing quite cautiously .. RR is 3.8 something ..

 

[Atif]

they are playing quite cautiously .. RR is 3.8 something ..

They played similar against Pakistan and then launched in the last 10.

 

[Atif]

50 for Ryder, he needs to bat the full 50 overs if NZ are to put up a big total.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bangladesh crowd turned up, nice to see, guess the crowd is supporting the kiwis today

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

common kiwis i am with you :ryder

 

[adnan yasin]

They played similar against Pakistan and then launched in the last 10.

that was a miracle ... 100 odd in 6 overs...which dont happen often


though this wicket is 260-265 ... a competitive total ... and SA are chokers... so if they reach that total .. it will be a good match ..


and atleast 25 overs of spin we will see from NZ as well

 

[Free Hit]

saffers might be chasing 250 or something here. choke

 

[adnan yasin]

3 from the last over of both

87/2 in 23 overs

 

[Free Hit]

87-2 in 23 overs

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pitch will help the spinners a lot in the 2nd innings, last match peterson was getting turn like muralitharan, vettori and nathan will be vital and can get south africa all out within 160 or so

 

[Free Hit]

1 run

87-2 in 24

NZ stuck

 

[Free Hit]

taylor is set needs to repeat the pak onslaught

 

[adnan yasin]

South Africa already has saved about 10 runs on the field i guess

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

taylor is set needs to repeat the pak onslaught

I hope he repeats his heroics
would be sad if NZ crashes out

 

[adnan yasin]

ryder .. played an inside out shot .. landed safely ...

2 taken

 

[AZ]

Steyn comes back into the attack.

 

[adnan yasin]

in 25 overs .... around 98 are dot ball

 

[Atif]

Steyn back into the attack.

 

[AZ]

Saffers have already used 7 bowlers

 

[Free Hit]

Rajagopalan: "Ryder 8 short of 1000 runs in ODI. One-Eighteenth of a Tendulkar."

lol

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I don't understand why they have to bring in Tendulkar everytime

 

[Free Hit]

93/2 after 26

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Kiwis are going no where with this.

 

[adnan yasin]

Saffers have already used 7 bowlers

yeah ...thats really surprising for me ...

trying to break the partnershIp i guess.. or spin is their and slowness so they might trying to cut down the pace as well

 

[Free Hit]

wid eby duminy

 

[AZ]

Kiwis need to get a move on here, Ross needs to chance his arm a bit.

 

[adnan yasin]

Imran Tahir should be brought back ... from duminy end
