[Sledger]

Southee's career officially ended by

 

[Maher96]

Afridi said winning the game will give them Good morale for the last few games. Akhter in Tanvir out on rotation policy. But Afridi thinks batting first isn't a bad.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Oram is back. Lets hope he fires today and make it a close contest.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Glad Southee is out. 92% humidity, should swing and some bounce.

Decent deck for batting though.

 

[UP]

Glad to see Akhtar back.

 

[Maher96]

Southee's career officially ended by

[saj001]

[The Slogger]

Afridi: "The pitch is quite good, but it is slightly overcast. Shoaib Akhtar is back and Sohail Tanvir is being rested ... Only one change, not three or four. "

) LMAO

 

[Maher96]

Sallu thinks NZ will have problem with Vettori out.

 

[Inswinger]

No team has won on this ground since 2001 batting first

Streaks are meant to finish.

 

[Maher96]

Hello hello hello

Sky 1 2 or 3?
I need to open the relevant stream

SKY 1 yaar.

 

[KingKhanWC]

I can't find a single player from the NZ team which would make it into our team.

 

[Boi]

Hope Shehzad smokes it today...

 

[Maher96]

@Sallu

coverage starting at 12.55 uk time.

 

[The Slogger]

man I love Afridi haha

 

[saeed-sohail]

Shukar maalik.I can only watch first inning and was hoping for Pakistan to bat first.

 

[*sallu*]

Sallu thinks NZ will have problem with Vettori out.

When did I say that?

 

[AZ]

chance of showers later on

 

[Inswinger]

I can't find a single player from the NZ team which would make it into our team.

Ryder, Guptill, Taylor, B McCullum

 

[Maher96]

Streaks are meant to finish.

yes true and last match the team batting first had won the last 5 so it doesn't mean much.

 

[PB]

Afridi: "The pitch is quite good, but it is slightly overcast. Shoaib Akhtar is back and Sohail Tanvir is being rested ... Only one change, not three or four. "

) LMAO

Loved the part where he said..Not like New Zealand..)

 

[*sallu*]

I can't find a single player from the NZ team which would make it into our team.

McCullum

and Ross Taylor

 

[Rizie]

The side batting first hasn't won a game here since 2001, so the odds are stacked up against Pakistan. They don't like batting in such conditions in any case.

 

[Maher96]

Shukar maalik.I can only watch first inning and was hoping for Pakistan to bat first.

hahahah same here i want to be able to go sleep and get a few hours sleep before school.

 

[KingKhanWC]

chance of showers later on

Should spice up the pitch a bit.

 

[PB]

Hope Shehzad smokes it today...

My bookie senses are tingling and they say that Shehzad won't cross 14 runs.

 

[nads_rocks]

Well atleast I get to see the whole Pakistan innings before going to work tomorrow morning

 

[AZ]

McCullum

and Ross Taylor

pass on both.

overrated hacks.

 

[billllal]

shahid and his sense of humour. wadda legend

 

[Rizie]

McCullum

and Ross Taylor

maybe Guptill too in his current form

 

[yadunoe]

how many odi's have happened since 2001 at this ground

 

[Maher96]

Loved the part where he said..Not like New Zealand..)

yeh, Afridi loves to entertain commies.

Hope to see him in the box at least for Geo Super lol.

Improve ya english Lala you'll become TV star.

[kingusama92]

I can't find a single player from the NZ team which would make it into our team.

I'd recommend looking a little closer.

 

[nsaviguru]

The team batting first hasn't won a game since 2001 in this ground, lets see if Pakistan can change that.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Sky coverage starts too late.

 

[KingKhanWC]

McCullum

and Ross Taylor

Sorry I meant like for like in batting order but yep those two.

 

[yadunoe]

McCullum

and Ross Taylor

Mccullum not ross taylor. mccullum only in certain situation when we dont use umar as a keeper

 

[billllal]

yeh, Afridi loves to entertain commies.

Hope to see him in the box at least for Geo Super lol.

Improve ya english Lala you'll become TV star.

whats wrong with lala english. still better than muhammad akram, ranjeet fernando, and many other indians like shivarama, arun lal.

 

[Ryankhan]

Well cricinfo is saying, pith wont suit PAK as they dont like to bat on these kind of pitches, well ALLAH rahem karey and hope we win today. I think strategy should be to not loose any wickets in first 15 overs. Both opener should play sensible and dont give away their wkt. If in first 15 overs they make 60-70 runs with out a wkt so thats not bad either. They jjust need to have wkts in hand and bat full 50 overs then we can score 250+. Hope YOUNIS KHAN gets a 100 or a 50, also KAMI needs to fire aswell. Good choice to see AKHTAR back but i wanted REHMAN in the side but looks like pitch was meant for AKHTAR not Rehman. BEST OF LUCK AFRIDI n PAKISTAN

 

[Maher96]

Sallu on Geo says it will depend on Mhd Hafeez, YK and Misbah who have to stick at the crease for some time for PAK to get a good total.

 

[Amir]

Conditions are overcast, and there is a drizzle forecast for later in the day. The pitch has reasonable grass cover, though it is rolled in. Hard track, the ball should come on to the bat, reckons Simon Doull. The side batting first hasn't won a game here since 2001, so the odds are stacked up against Pakistan. They don't like batting in such conditions in any case.

-Cricinfo

 

[billllal]

The team batting first hasn't won a game since 2001 in this ground, lets see if Pakistan can change that.

all these thing doesnt matter when pakistan play.

 

[Maher96]

Sky coverage starts too late.

for them its a meaningless match i feel.

No one represent Pakistan either in the Studio.
They had Azhar Mahmood for T20 but he seems to have lost his place.

 

[Sledger]

Side batting first hasn't won since 01.

 

[yadunoe]

lets go pakistan

 

[acewings]

Green wicket, overcast conditions, rain in the air (D/L will work against Pakistan), no team has won batting first in the last ten years......

Ahh, nothing to worry about. Just another usual day at work

 

[Maher96]

Sallu now said: YK is world class player he should move to number 3 so we don't collapse.

 

[AZ]

a decade is long enough.

let's smash that batting first record!!!

:ahmed :kami :umarakmal

 

[saeed-sohail]

Dil wale agar mil jaayen yahan

 

[PakCrikNeedsFixin]

Bhai yeh sallu kaun hain?

 

[Maher96]

:shoaib needs to fire today to cement his place.

 

[90MPH]

They should aim for a score of 220 to 250 if it is seaming. Should defend that if NZ face similar conditions.
