New Zealand vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Wellington | 22/01/2011 | NZ Innings

[The Slogger]

With Pakistan 125 all out, all the Kiwis need is a cool head to chase this down.

Can Shoaib prove a point here?

New Zealand vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Wellington | 22/01/2011 | New Zealand Innings

Well Pakistan 124 all out.....

Good innings by Misbah, but poor from Pakistan generally

Easy run chase for NZ?

 

[The Slogger]

Innings break

 

[acewings]

Ill stay up just to watch

 

[Pakistani93]

InshAllah we can still win this, Need Shoaib and Tanvir to destroy the NZ batting order

 

[imranq]

Hopefully can do some majic .... but I belive 124 is not a par score. if some of our batsmen just tried to stay on the pitch and get close to 180 the chase would have been interesting.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Captaincy watch -

Misbah - 1
Afridi - 0

 

[Paradox]

160 would have been very defendable, but 124 is too little. The CLOSEST we'll get to a win is NZ being 5-6 wickets down at max. chasing our total.

 

[Sledger]

raging bull.

 

[Sledger]

146ks loosener.

 

[Looney]

we need pappu fielding

 

[Paradox]

Akhtar tried to start off with a Lord's '06 first ball yorker.

 

[Sledger]

Very stiff ball there from Shoaib, should have been 154.

 

[dinakar]

Don't worry guys! 108, 219, 108, 122, 169/8, 200/9, 122 were India's score in NZ just before the 2003 WC, and then we made in to the finals! This might bring good fortunes for your team in the coming WC

 

[JellyBro]

146Ks first ball

 

[anakwalajinn]

Gopter of the mark

 

[The Slogger]

1st ball was a rippin in swinger lol, this chase may be interesting

 

[Sledger]

On the pads, timed well for three.

 

[sam]

Misbah running in with advice for Akhtar.

Interesting. This is what the cloud over captaincy does. Misbah will now try any which way to grab it.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Don't worry guys! 108, 219, 108, 122, 169/8, 200/9, 122 were India's score in NZ just before the 2003 WC, and then we made in to the finals! This might bring good fortunes for your team in the coming WC

thanks for trying man

 

[Sledger]

The Whale on strike.

 

[JellyBro]

pedobear to face akhtar

 

[anakwalajinn]

yooself :adnan

 

[Brainiac]

Shouldn't take more than 20 overs to finish Pakistan off.

 

[Awesome_Username]

No swing whatsoever.

 

[anakwalajinn]

pedobear to face akhtar

loool )

 

[The Slogger]

if Gul was playing, I'd have better hope

 

[AfghanCricketFan]

I am missing

Very welldone
yoself
magic ball

 

[anakwalajinn]

look at her go

 

[Sledger]

Ball not swinging for Pak.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

no swing for us

 

[Sir john]

5 runs in first 2 balls.

 

[Sledger]

147ks.

 

[anakwalajinn]

allegations coming up... lol someone posted here a couple of days ago that controversy boys on their way to NZ haha

 

[anakwalajinn]

not looking all that pumped up

 

[Rizie]

thats how u take a single

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

I back Pakistan to win this.

 

[JellyBro]

medium pace is the way to go on this pitch IMO

 

[Paradox]

147ks holy f**k!

 

[Sledger]

9/0 after one.

 

[nads_rocks]

124 is not a total that can be defended, if Gul was in this line up there wud b a chance but I'm retiring to bet I do not wanna c McCullum bully our bowlers and make our fielders run, a team from 11-0 losing streak will beat us, this is real poor.

Maybe if Misbah could keep test cricket away from ODI he will become a very good ODI player but there really is no point defending and going at test pace and then hitting few boundaries up ur sr up the scoreboard a lil and then get out!

For me that is no captain material and even in the test, he has not been the best captain, he's been good, and yeh he's been good today too but Afridi should still be given the chance to lead his side in the World Cup, it will b harsh and unfair to strip him of his captaincy so close to the World Cup!

Goodnight/Morning all

 

[ZAK]

9/0 after 1.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

easy playings for NZ.

 

[Rizz Khan]

not looking all that pumped up

First Over Mate, Let Him Warm Up !

 

[insaaniyat]

if Gul was playing, I'd have better hope

why isn't Gul playing?

 

[Looney]

aal is well aal is well

 

[PakPosheeda]

Ball not swinging for Pak.

New ball never swings for Pakistan anymore. I cant remember the last time it did. Every Pakistani pacer wants the old ball. Wonder what happened to the conventional swing? If Akhtar cant, after all this time then who can? Oh wait Sami can, but he's useless.

 

[Rizz Khan]

9/0 - 1 Over.

 

[Brainiac]

Bahahaha... 9 off the first over.

)

 

[The Slogger]

9/0 1st over.

NZ wins this.

 

[Sir john]

9 runs in first over.

 

[AfghanCricketFan]

147ks.

maybe he should keep down the speed

 

[anakwalajinn]

i should get married in NZ

 

[qaiser]

nz seem like playing on different pitch

 

[Sir john]

9 runs in first over.

 

[Sledger]

Good start from Tanvir.

 

[ZAK]

to bowl now.

 

[TigerJat]

9 off the first over,

 

[anakwalajinn]

chalo at least to with the new ball

 

[sam]

nz seem like playing on different pitch

Always seems like it after Pakistan are done batting.

 

[Looney]

wide to start off with tanvir fatima BA II

 

[acewings]

you mean wide?

 

[anakwalajinn]

tanvir continuing whre he left off bowling those wides vs SL in T20 wc...

 

[TigerJat]

akhtar bowling fast, but no wickets

 

[TigerJat]

wide

 

[anakwalajinn]

First Over Mate, Let Him Warm Up !

hm... I mean he always have the facial xperssions and all that going in the batismans face

 

[adiabbasi]

the deck is flat no movement no bounce what the heckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

 

[Sledger]

NZ are playing with real intent. They're approaching it like a T20.

 

[TigerJat]

I am thinking about 30 overs to wrap it up

 

[acewings]

NZ scoring > 9/over

 

[anakwalajinn]

lol 10 wkt win coming up

 

[The Slogger]

this idiot bowls a lot on the legside, which is why he was dropped, and now hes doing it again

 

[iRfaN_LA]

IMO, PCB has caused a clear divide by not naming Afridi captain for the world cup. That was a big brain fart from Ijaz Butt as usual.

 

[TigerJat]

bad bowling so far by tanvir, on the leg side

 

[Sledger]

Ramiz talking about the lack of swing now too.

 

[Looney]

Always seems like it after Pakistan are done batting.

they are playing tricks on us . maybe they replaced it after Pak innings .

 

[anakwalajinn]

i dont know what 2 say about his hair... like a tall and skinny version of abida parveen...

 

[JellyBro]

Abida Parveen not getting any movement either. Bowling in the 130k range

 

[DarkRival]

We should've batted second

 

[TigerJat]

bad fielding by pakistan, throwing on Gutil's end, need to always throw on ryder's end
