25 off the over

 

[Strike Rate]

WTH Malinga 42 runs in first 4 overs? are you going to bowl rest of the 6 in this match?

 

[Back Foot Drive]

With all his balance and weight.

That has nothing to do with bowling, I was speaking about batting. If you wanted to say something you could have quoted me.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

23 runs off Malinga over....

Just total destruction.

 

[razabbas]

There is nothing in this pitch for the bowlers. This is a 350+ pitch.

 

[McGarrett]

Wow...23 from that over

 

[OZGOD]

Are you watching Pakistan this how you bat[emoji12]

And quoting you would have been same fun ??

Enjoy the match.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Malinga's career is over

 

[shah_1]

Malinga shouldn't have played this match

 

[shaz619]

Brendon treating the gam like its a T20 , we need Russel Arnold on commentary right now please!

 

[Laal]

330 seems like a par score here.

 

[OZGOD]

The Slinga looks to be carrying a few pounds around his middle...needs some time on the Stairmaster I reckon

lol there's plenty there, SL's are just bowling the wrong lines and aren't building pressure by keeping it tight.

 

[DOOSRA95]

T20 cricket has take 50 over game to new dimension .wow.

He should not be playing looks more unfit than Shoaib Akhtar back in 2011.

Really, if you want to debate, we can, no need to make fun or resorting to those kind of tactics.

You as well.

 

[Aman]

4 more for Baz.

42 of 23.

Raining of Fours

This is where McCullum needs to be clever. He must look to consolidate a position of dominance by playing risk free cricket.
He should nudge one's and two's.
Well he just hit a four.

 

[H2O1]

Agreed.he looks tired and unfit from ball one.

 

[Aman]

McCullums bat doesn't look too big tbh.

There is nothing in the pitch. How could one put pressure on a flat pitch?

 

[razabbas]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] Talent wise is this the best XI NZL have fielded in WC ?

Nah, I feel he's there to get NZ off to great starts.

Guptil, KW and Taylor are there for the long innings.

Macca needs 58 runs in 7 deliveres to beat ABCD's record

Which means the way he's timing everything, the ball is coming onto the bat and is indeed a flat pitch.

Maths and Staffers don't go hand in hand...we have known that since 99

Wow . Handsome crowd .

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] Talent wise is this the best XI NZL have fielded in WC ?

No doubt, many have already said this side is better than the side NZ had in 92.

DebAte about what ?? Losing weight makes you a bad batsman ? No thanks.... Banter is part of commentary thread don't be so touchy or you will not enjoy yourself here. Also I dont think I posted something insulting.

It effects the balance of the batsmenan yes. And thanks, I'll make your time here very fun then.

 

[90MPH]

Malinga might need a game or 2 to get to his best, but he does look overweight to me.

Anyway SL badly need wickets otherwise I can't seem them chasing 320+ down.

 

[Aman]

Okay, we'll see him Boult and Southee get anything with the new ball.

If NZ were bowling, I have no doubt we'd have them at least 2 down by now.

 

[soso_killer]

Herath on, this will define the match

 

[Watsupdoc]

These small boundaries are a joke!

 

[Suleiman]

Got a feel for our Lankan bros, hopefully we can avoid this from SA.

Guptill's supposed return to form is a huge boost to the line up.

 

[Aman]

These small boundaries are a joke!

How often did Pakistan score 300+ on these small boundaries?

 

[Thivagar]

Fatlainga getting pounded

 

[Back Foot Drive]

If NZ were bowling, I have no doubt we'd have them at least 2 down by now.

I would have bet my money on Boult picking up a wicket because his action allows him to get swing and seam and the conditions would have helped him out. But once the batsmen got set, Dilshan would have done the same as McCullum is doing.

Commie comparing Herath to Club Bowler ) )

 

[soso_killer]

Good over, only 3 from it

 

[Back Foot Drive]

Leave it, Pakistani fans have the tendency to muster up lame excuses for their teams failures.

 

[shaz619]

SL need 4 more Hearths to stop NZ from posting a huge total, they smashed the pacers around so much that they have earned the luxury to play the spinner without taking any risks

 

[dhump]

You have something to back it up apart from Jamshed and Kallis stories ??

Weight loss with giving body proper time to adjust have no problems as human body is smart enough to adjust.

 

[Aman]

Dilshan even when he was hitting plenty of boundaries against us earlier, couldn't get it over a SR of 100. So no, he wouldn't be able to do a McCullum.

I didn't know there was a communist comparing Herath to a club bowler?

 

[soso_killer]

Nonsense by Dull comparing Herath to a club cricketer

 

[shah_1]

Small boundaries are a disgrace

 

[razabbas]

if not Pakistan then i want NZL to lift the worldcup this chance wont come again

 

[Back Foot Drive]

Did you miss his century?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Malinga Phaintyyy!!!

 

[shah_1]

Doull is an idiot or what? comparing him with club bowlers

 

[Back Foot Drive]

That Bermuda guy. His weight didn't stop him from taking a catch that even the fittest of your Pakistani players couldn't think of catching.

 

[Aman]

Did you miss his century?

116 (127) - 17 boundaries, SR of 91.

 

[Big Mac]

Now that I'm finally seeing them, yep the on screen graphics really are a disgrace.

 

[soso_killer]

Another good over, 1 from it

 

[McGarrett]

Thank god..we've got Mathews. Good bowling

Pakistan can't face quality pace bowling, that's a known fact

 

[Back Foot Drive]

116 (127) - 17 boundaries, SR of 91.

Given the circumstances of the match, had wickets not fell around him, it was still an innings on par with a 100+ Strike Rate.

 

[Aman]

Herath bowling well.

 

[Thivagar]

Jeevan is supposed to bowl6-8 overs ?

 

[Mr Consistent]

good delivery
