New Zealand vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Christchurch | 29/1/11 | Pakistan Innings

[iZeeshan]

Just under 30 minutes to go.

Weather looks good, but seems like we may have a delayed start because of wet outfield.

Let's hope the toss goes through and we have a full 50 over game.

Pakistan to win

 

[Sledger]

NZ win the toss - they will bowl.

 

[AZ]

batting first, lets hope Shezzy gets off to a rollicking start again!

we're gonna win this one, Inshallah! :ahmed

 

[iZeeshan]

Here's to hoping Pakistan start right where they left off

Come on Shehzad!

 

[SAM'S]

Sohail Tanvir playing, no spinner

 

[Atif]

Afridi: "It will be slow and it will help the spinners as well. I think it will be good for batting as well. This is a subcontinental track. The wind is the difference and it will help the fast bowlers. Our strength is to play positive; the batsmen did that in the second ODI."

But Afridi, only Shehzad played postive in those 4.2 overs..

 

[Watsupdoc]

What happened to Vettori?

 

[Chocolaty Laila]

Vettori not leading the Kiwis? why?

 

[The Slogger]

Simon Doull: The pitch is hard, but the grass on it will provide seam and movement for southee and co. which is why NZ chose to bowl first

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

we need to playout the 1st 15 overs.

 

[nads_rocks]

Loved it when Afridi replied to that guy when asked about Afridi improving his form at captain.

'Doesn't matter I am still enjoying' was his reply after being asked what about your form as captain hehe

 

[Atif]

Vettori not leading the Kiwis? why?

Ross Taylor is the captain, was confirmed after the 2nd ODI, they are trying to play givers the WC squad members a chance to play some cricket.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Inshallah A win today for Pakistan!

 

[asif9138]

survive 15 overs..than boom boom!!

 

[Borg]

Afridi looking at a different wicket as opposed to rest who think its going to be a bouncy wicket with seam?

 

[KingKhanWC]

The Sun is out

Come on boys!

 

[Atif]

Afridi looking at a different wicket as opposed to rest who think its going to be a bouncy wicket with swing ?

He probably knows it will swing, but has to sound positive infront of the cameras.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Afridi saying it's like a sub continent pitch! Oh well if thats the case, we better rack up a good score of around 300 atleast!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Make about 40-50 without loss in first 15 overs then excel and we WILL win

 

[Atif]

The Sun is out

Come on boys!

Clear skies, so hopefully no swing for the NZ bowlers.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The Sun is out

Come on boys!

Where did you see that?

Sky Sports dont start their telecast till 12:55

[Borg]

He probably knows it will swing, but has to sound positive infront of the cameras.

More then happy with him being positive, Just that i hope their strategy is not based on wicket being slow and going in gung ho. I guess its wait and see .

Craig McMillan: Afridi is a dynamic player, Im surprised why the board hasnt picked him as the captain for the World Cup, I want him to score some runs today, hes been good with the bowl, its time to do it with the bat.

epic.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Let's hope Hafeez gets some much need confidence. Poor guy needs to get past 10.

 

[JellyBro]

haha Amir Sohail absolutely ripping through Afridi's pitch judgement. According to Amir the pitch would be bouncy and the ball would nip around a bit. Afridi said it'll be a slow and sub-Continental-ish pitch

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Coney in the studio for Sky!

 

[Sledger]

No Shoaib.

 

[AZ]

no Ryder today.

Kiwis, its over.
