23 extras lmao, no wonder the team score is going up while Misbahs stagnates.
 
I haven't gotten my hopes up, if we get knocked out in the QF's or Semi's so be it. It's not the end of the world.

If it's not the end if world than what is? I mean you are acting like England and making it look like WC dont matter just because they don't win it. So what is your expectation from your team than? Beating South Africa or Australia in Tests next time you tour there? I mean you can't support a team without expecting something

It is a sport to us nothing more. we will have a winge the day after on talk back radio and then it will all be back to normal
 
South Africa have the best beard length per player ratio though. Key advantage being overlooked.

Who knows? Maybe in the quarter final this time Amla will edge it off his beard rather than his boot :yk

May Zeus have mercy on your soul

Then stop whinging now, you've been doing that for the past 2 hours. Take a break, have a laugh, let's talk about football.

All I said was that NZ are likely to beat Pakistan in the odi series and all of a sudden I get accused of chest pumping
 
So when was the last time NZ won anything in rugby

I think they or the proteas are the champions i don't know anything about rugby let me ask [MENTION=68271]NZcricketfan[/MENTION] or [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]
 
Pakistan should have sent Wahab ahead of Bhatti. Again its a friendly, so expirementing and adapting to conditions key but its worrying players like Hafeez or YK who do not require such adaption are struggling.

Let's see how the bowlers do.
 
Because I am a cricket tragic.

I love following cricket no matter how bad my team plays

yes but that doesn't mean you dont expect anything from them every cricket fan do expect his team to perform even if his team is ranked number 10 and playing against number 1 side away

I expect quarters or semis.

And I expect us to beat pakistan in the one day series
 
Excellent innings by the Captain, i think we could have got an extra 20+ runs but he was a little poor from overs 40-46 but an excellent recover and a good sign after a miserable 2014.
 
Because the last Rugby World Cup was played in 2013 In UK and Your team was beaten badly by 24-2 to AUS.
The last WC was played in NZ in 2011..... England are hosting the next one later this year...
 
Someone please explain the rugby and american football difference to me they look same to me :( fighting for the ball and running with it
 
The Kiwis are defending 4 nations champions, they stomped the Kangaroos last year.
 
Misbah's form is refreshing , hope he continues on with it.

Umar Akmal finally is scoring some.
 
Tailender facing over half the deliveries in the final 10 overs is poor from Misbah, but his innings other than that was very good. Maybe should have attacked a little earlier though.

Good recovery and a defendable total.
 
195 runs for Misbah in 2 matches and 145 for Umar Akmal good for them while YK and Hafeez both failed

Its OK , only a warmup. May be he wanted bilawal to get a bit of batting practice as well. Winning isnt important at the moment , we are trying to get acclimatized.
 
Why in rugby they run away with the ball and beat each other left right and center like WWE?

Not really. Rugby league is more physical than rugby is.

From looking at the asian cricket teams I don't think they would enjoy rugby too much though
 
I did yaar. But you admit too. You lost.

Can you tell me real difference between these 2 sports and do they have same players.

I did't lose anything.

Rugby league has 13 players and rugby union has 15. In rugby when you get taken to the ground you push the ball behind you to your team mates. As long as you keep the ball you can do this for ever. In rugby league you get 6 tackles and after the sixth one you hand the ball to the opposite team

There are many other rules but I can't be bothered

maybe i am mixing up with american football with rugby they all look same to me

btw we have a rugby team in Pak, Lanka and India too but we are minnows from what i heared never qualified for wc

Agreed thats what i am hoping is what happened. Its the only logical explanation.

Thanx Bro
 
I like the NZ Haka that they usually do in rugby..

I came across this video of them doing it in hockey.. good thing they were doing it with SA.. if they came across someone like CA, USA or Russia a few of them would be going home injured.

Just as long as the cricket team keeps away from the haka. God that would be embarrassing

Didnt know you guys play hockey?

Exciting that even countries with no snow/ice are taking up the best sport in the world

We get snow here. There is an ice skating rink where they play ice hockey 5 minutes from my house

Gotta give it to you Kiwis for being so competitive in many sports despite being a small country
