[thekhan]

kamran's batting is so painful to watch these days

 

[Eagle_Eye]

....

 

[Sledger]

Great shot, four more. Quality placement.

 

[saj001]

good shot for 4

 

[KingKhanWC]

Flicked away, nicely placed. 4

 

[Arsh_afridi]

 

[AZ]

even guptill and jesse ryder? they seem pretty nice. and talented.

you know what they say about nice guys.

the whole team is too boring and mummy-daddy.




easy peasy for Shezzy.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

 

[pakbl10]

flicked away for

 

[The Slogger]

easy leglance ... shahzada looking good

 

[Noman]

Why are we not rotating the strike..? It's weird with our openers and top order, one day they're going around rotating the strike and making it look so easy and today.. horrible.

When the bowl is seaming taking singles is the last thing in the batsman in our batsmans mind..., However it should be the first...

 

[ZAK]

kamran akmal is in miserable form. what is he doing in the team yaar.

He was scoring hundreds for fun in the Quaid-e-Azam trophy, just goes to show how big of an ftb he is.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

kamran's batting is so painful to watch these days

u akmal was just as bad last game... almost cost us the game

 

[TigerJat]

another 444444444444444

 

[Sledger]

Walking down the wicket. )

Edged away for one.

 

[saj001]

oh lucky shahzad

 

[KingKhanWC]

Loose shot there. No need, he can get a big one today.

 

[ZAK]

1 to Ahmad.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Almost a brain fart by Shahzad

 

[SOSami]

RR isn't even as bad as people are making out. Pakistan have won the first 10 overs imo.

Definately. If they make it to 15 overs at this rate without losing a wicket it'll be advantage Pak. Flat pitch, batting first etcetc.

 

[pakbl10]

Single to Ahmed.

 

[thekhan]

kamrqan is putting shazad underpressure.

 

[Sledger]

Good defense there from Kamran. First one that's hit the middle.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Akmal doesnt look like his old self.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

akmal did not put away that freebie

 

[Noman]

Kamran has fixed playing dot balls?

 

[thekhan]

boy, akmal looks nervous

 

[The Slogger]

kami finding some timing

 

[Sledger]

ffs, learn how to call runs. :kami

 

[ZAK]

40/1 after 11 overs.

 

[sanakazmi]

And I think all of his big runs have come on batting tracks with little swing.

He's probably alright for the dead pitches of the subcontinent, but I don't like his chances against the swinging ball today. As I say that ... he hits a four.

He should've been out that ball. And it was the same shot that's got him out at least twice already this series. Doesn't seem like he's getting into form.

Just tried running himself out. Uff.

 

[The Slogger]

kamran dancing for no reason

40/1 after 11

 

[AZ]

Kami needs to relax, get his eye in.

can go hell for leather later.

 

[Noman]

Kamran is trying to get run out ? FIXED

 

[yadunoe]

i wanna see atleast a nisf century from shehzad

 

[PB]

lol Akmal trying to run out himself and Ahmed.

 

[TigerJat]

thats a pretty slow power play, but still hopefully no more wickets for a few overs

 

[iZeeshan]

When is this Kamran experiment going to end?

Surely they can't take this approach into the WC

 

[W63L35]

. 1 . . | . . 4 . . 4 | . . . 4 . . | . 4 1 . . .


Two singles in last 22 balls.... way to go guys!

 

[thekhan]

kamran 4 off 14..putiing the other batsman under pressure

 

[Decipher]

RR isn't even as bad as people are making out. Pakistan have won the first 10 overs imo.

a run rate of under four in 10 overs of powerplay ... topped of by loss of a wicket and Kamran struggling to take a single ..... and Pakistan won the powerplay? lol

 

[Inswinger]

Kamran looking better. He's worked through the rough period and now he should get a good score.

 

[d0gers]

Why are we not rotating the strike..? It's weird with our openers and top order, one day they're going around rotating the strike and making it look so easy and today.. horrible.

Not our openers. They suck at rotating the strike.

 

[Sledger]

Edged for four. Dropped short and cut fine.

 

[The Slogger]

kamran ko dekh ke mujhe khujli hoti hai

 

[ZAK]

to :ahmed

 

[*sallu*]

Kami looks like he is under pressure

He needs to free up, not because the team needs the runs (which they also do) but because he plays better when hes attacking

 

[AZ]

slashed, and slashed hard!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Thick edge but probably meant it. 4 more.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Luck for Shahzad

 

[pakbl10]

:4

 

[Inswinger]

. 1 . . | . . 4 . . 4 | . . . 4 . . | . 4 1 . . .


Two singles in last 22 balls.... way to go guys!

But 18 runs off those 22....

 

[Noman]

Shehzad taking risk and trying to play freely now

 

[AZ]

tucked to fine leg, good running.

 

[Sledger]

a run rate of under four in 10 overs of powerplay ... topped of by loss of a wicket and Kamran struggling to take a single ..... and Pakistan won the powerplay? lol

NZ won the toss and bowled.

 

[kaalakawaa]

Kamran needs to find form here

 

[ZAK]

1 to Shehzad. Well run.

 

[TigerJat]

4444444, don't know if that was the intended to go

 

[Paradox]

..

 

[The Slogger]

kamran needs to hit

 

[d0gers]

Have more 4s than 1s at this point.

Go figure.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Shahzad needs to make a 50, show he can get big scores as well.

 

[kaalakawaa]

guys, 25 runs partnership of 29 balls. Can the whiners please be quiet?

 

[Sledger]

Very good single.

 

[AZ]

good response from Shezzy, another single.

 

[ZAK]

1 to Kami.

 

[The Slogger]

good single

 

[thekhan]

Seriously. u need to put a gully, thirdman and covers for kamran....he will not be able to score runs. Pretty one domensional these days...kamran

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Kamran strike rate is under 30, man Misbah syndrome.

 

[SOSami]

Batting No3 isn't easy for a guy who has never played there before. Kamran needs to just think as an opener and forget about the wicket down.

 

[d0gers]

But 18 runs off those 22....

It's about risk/reward. You can score at the same rate with half the risk, that's always the better strategy.

 

[The Slogger]

shazzy making a 100 today

 

[thekhan]

Shazad is aking too may risks

 

[Decipher]

NZ won the toss and bowled.

and they proved after 10 overs that their decision was right. Pathetic display by Pakistan in first 10 overs of POWERPLAY

 

[Sledger]

Great shot! Looked like he was lining up a big mow over leg, stayed on the back foot and adjusted to hit it through off!!

 

[Newton_fan]

:4

 

[saj001]

shot of high class indeed

 

[MRSN]

great shot!!!!!

 

[ZAK]

more to :ahmed

 

[Eagle_Eye]

shehzad.... front foot square cut
