Pakistan v Netherlands | World T20 | Lords | 9/6/09 [NL inngs]

[Oxy]

Pakistan scored 175-5 off 20 overs

NL need 176 to win, although they could still qualify for the Super 8s if they lose - but score 151 or more runs.

 

[Inswinger]

Our bowlers should think of 140 as the target.

 

[Momo]

I hope YK knows about 150.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

its going to be close we need to attack,

although they wont have seen ajmal or tanvir before

 

[IAJ]

Honestly this dutch side is 130 runs side. They should not get close to 150 at all

 

[P4K1 #1]

quick wickets we need

 

[Inswinger]

I hope YK knows about 150.

Don;t worry. Intikhab and Younis have a plan!!!!

 

[insaftak]

i hope they are thinking of 120 as the target

 

[161]

I'm very concerned about Tanvir and his poor control of late.

He can't be leaking runs !

 

[imrank_88]

bring the spinners on early, they will have a tough time with ajmal and afridi. n e update on the weather tho?

 

[insaftak]

anyone know the batters to watch out for?

 

[Couch Cricketer]

tanvir hopefully gets some wicket as he is a someone hard to play if you havent seen him before

 

[srh]

I think Pakistan makes a mistake by batting first. Bowling first would have give them a better chance to control this match.

 

[Oxy]

Honestly this dutch side is 130 runs side. They should not get close to 150 at all

Pak bowling is a 'give away 180+ runs' side though...

 

[Momo]

Don;t worry. Intikhab and Younis have a plan!!!!

I have very rarely heard words more freightening than this.

 

[Oxy]

Had we batted 2nd - we'd be in control of things.

Bowlers seldom control things in T20!

 

[Osman]

i hope they will not be foolish and open with Gul! Pakistan's bowling attacj should in theory be too good for the Dutch - pace of Aamir .... Tanvir's unusual action which they haven't faced before .... Gul's yorkers.... Afridi's variation .... Ajmal's doosra

 

[asifp]

even if dutch make 151, Pakistan will win and YK will say winning is always fun

 

[siccric]

Aamer, Tanvir, Ajmal, Afridi and Gul shouldn't disappoint us today
The batsmen did a reasonable job though 190 was looking on the cards at a point. 150 is a good score against a minnow; and Nannes can't bat

 

[Da Best]

Players come out yet?

 

[pakcricketfan]

C'mon..we need to back our players!!
C'mon Amir, Gul, Tanvir, Afridi, Ajmal, Malik and Fawad.. Find the fighter within yourselves...and GO GET THEM under 140!!!!!!
And please show a little more effort and comitment in the field.It's a do or die situation.

 

[161]

Just 3 extras from Holland.

Some discipline !

 

[Oxy]

Discipline!

Its the key.

No balls & wides will kill us

 

[Momo]

Had we batted 2nd - we'd be in control of things.

Bowlers seldom control things in T20!

Neither do our batters.

 

[Cheguvera]

Pakistan are at least 15/20 runs short...I think NL should be able to get to 150, given our fielding and undisciplined bowling...

 

[zimmz]

I think Umer gul should open the bowling (1-2 overs) not two left handers.

 

[Oxy]

Players come out yet?

Yes

 

[Osman]

even if dutch make 151, Pakistan will win and YK will say winning is always fun

This is looking very good.

 

[ItsMeK1]

its going to be close we need to attack,

although they wont have seen ajmal or tanvir before

and aamir

 

[insaftak]

can't wait till shoaib balls a no ball and i bang my head against the wall

 

[srh]

NL have some good hitters.

 

[Couch Cricketer]

gul has to open the bowling we have to bowl them out no need to save him for later
plus dutch will come out hittig

 

[saqeeb90]

tanvir is going to start 1st over

who should start 2n over a spinner may be
what should be bowling line
experts pls answer

 

[Da Best]

Ok then let's start bowlin them!

 

[Osman]

advantage they will have against Aamir is that they face Dirk Nannes in the nets so i don't think they will be flustered by his pace alone

 

[insaftak]

oh my god this guy is huge

 

[Cheguvera]

can't wait till shoaib balls a no ball and i bang my head against the wall

I will bang my head if Shoaib is even given an over...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistans extras problem, inability to field pretty much means we will have to bowl the dutch out here i recon!

 

[insaftak]

lets go tanvir

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hopefully Aamer and Tanvir can take some wickets with new ball!

 

[Inswinger]

Darn it. Umer Gul stretching. Wrong move.

 

[srh]

I hope Malik was not upto his old tricks and putting himself before the Team Pakistan. His batting was the biggest culprit of us 20-25 runs short.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

tanvir to open

 

[FM87]

NL batting will collapse, i tell ya...

 

[asifp]

Dutch just need one guy to go our and go crazy and thats it

 

[Sparhawk]

2nd ball 444444444

 

[insaftak]

44444444444444 to begin

 

[Oxy]

Leg sid e- and 4

Rubbish

4-0

 

[IAJ]

****!

 

[ItsMeK1]

1st four off sohail

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

4 of 2nd ball

 

[12thMan]

Pakistan should aim to get them out for 110. They can then add the 20 runs for misfields and 10 for extras on top

 

[Oxy]

NL batting will collapse, i tell ya...

...with laughter!

 

[Cheguvera]

Going back to Pakistan's innings and the short fine leg consistently moving out of the 30 yard circle...what the heck was Inti doing, dozing off?

 

[Oxy]

NL going for it - with intent.

Its not difficult!

 

[Sparhawk]

Dutch just need one guy to go our and go crazy and thats it

They dont even need to go crazy, just go 7/over and keep wickets in hand.

 

[in_cutter]

this will be a piece of cake for the Dutch

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

top edge lands in no man land

 

[161]

I'm very concerned about Tanvir and his poor control of late.

He can't be leaking runs !

Second ball leg side smacked for 4 !

 

[Cheguvera]

This is not looking good...big guy is going to eat the likes of Tanveer for dinner...

 

[Zain]

I Dont Think We Will Progress To The Next Stage, 20 Runs Short As Younis Usually Says Lol.

 

[asifp]

20 overs till YK can look forward to eating cake with his kid

 

[Cheguvera]

Pakistan should allow no more then 5/6 an over...

 

[Momo]

Ajmal should have opened.

We will win anyway Inshaallah.

 

[ItsMeK1]

5 off the over

 

[Amjid Javed]

NL have nothing to lose! All pressure is on pakistan!

 

[Saj]

they need 7.5 runs an over. Basically ones and twos should see them home.

 

[aamir]

1 bad ball but good over otherwise

 

[pak4life]

run rate required 7.6 we need to get it to 9-10 and build some pressure

 

[ali_ed2006]

Ajmal should have opened.

We will win anyway Inshaallah.

Ameen

 

[asifp]

Going back to Pakistan's innings and the short fine leg consistently moving out of the 30 yard circle...what the heck was Inti doing, dozing off?

lets see what the ICC does abuot that

 

[aamir]

We need wickets

 

[Zahid87]

only 5 of the over. decent start. lets see how they handle aamer

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

good comeback by tanvir

mo hammed amir

 

[Inswinger]

Who's sharing the new ball with Tanvir?

 

[saqeeb90]

gori de nakhre

 

[lalaji]

good to see Wasim Bhai being positive ...

 

[Momo]

Good over.

 

[aamir]

ouch not that!
