[Muhammad Waleed]

o zero runs....first over...unbelievableee

 

[Raz]

Ramiz "Chacha, with his cha, cha, cha" - Annoying! He's said that twice now.

It's because one of his fellow commentators found it mildly amusing the first time around, so he's trying it on others.

 

[don1990]

pakistan finally off the mark....

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Off the mark

 

[Osman]

Redmond to bowl :S .... New Zealand opening with a part time spinner...so says cricinfo

 

[sagar]

Now people are going to start saying these players are trying to dethrone Afridi from his captaincy.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

[cricket_fever]

o zero runs....first over...unbelievableee

[don1990]

[Afridi_Fan]

Couple.

 

[shabbu1]

The ball is swinging like mad out there...yeesh!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Nazir playing for a slot in tests?

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

A wicket is due soon.

 

[srh]

From cricinfo:

Wanderer: "What's the point in playing 4 pace bowlers, (granted Razzaq is a batsmen these days) and 3 spinners + Fawad Alam? Surely you'd drop one of the bowlers and choose another proper batsmen and hit out from the very first ball. It is after all only 20 overs, how many bowlers do you need?"

Exactly my sentiments.

 

[Raz]

Southee getting the ball to swing away

 

[don1990]

2 overs & pakistan are 3/0

 

[Afridi_Fan]

3/0 after 2 overs.

[Da Best]

A stern test for our batsmen this will be. Same goes for the bowlers, if they can swing it just as well.

 

[Oxy]

[Raz]

Chalo it's time to go nuclear for Nazir.

 

[Oxy]

11-0 off 3 overs

 

[don1990]

nazir is not looking in good touch....

 

[arsalan660]

Nazir want to play a big inning to comeback in ODIs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Edged for single.

 

[Da Best]

It's a power play, and Nazir is 2 off 10. Never thought I would live to see that now.

 

[arsalan660]

Kamran looking good

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another single.

 

[umarf76]

nazir not really looking ruthless here ...
rameez talking nonsense as usual and continues to contradict himself atleast once every over

 

[sagar]

Exactly my sentiments.

Well Fawad Alam is being played as a batsman here strictly, althoug he can bowl if needed. Razzaq is a genuine allrounder and we all know what he can do with bat. Rana, I don't consider as allrounder rather is a good medium pacer who can bat a little sometimes. Aamer, I agree should have been rested. As for Gul, we all know what he can do in t20 matches as a bowler. Tanvir is probably the only weak link but you never know. He can give you a quick 20 or 30 runs and a couple of early wickets. Lots of options for Afridi in bowling. Always good for Pakistan.

 

[DonJee]

werz the commentry on zee cinema???//

 

[arsalan660]

there goes Nazir drive.

 

[saj001]

Imran, use your brain for once

 

[Oxy]

[umarf76]

finally a four by nazir

 

[saj001]

[Da Best]

Picked the gap Nazir 4444444!

 

[Raz]

Nazir is away with a 4, beautifully driven boundary through the covers.
