[Saj]

The ball isnt swinging
sorryz,its too early to say..

we are only 4 deliveries into the match yet.

Well I've got work in the morning so need to head off to bed.

Here's my prediction - NZ 211 all out Pakistan 73 for 2.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good over

4/1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

starts with a full one.

 

[RexRex]

Great start to the series !

 

[SpiritOf1903]

right in the blockhole, c'mon Asif bhai

 

[Oxy]

Asif from the other end!

We've been dreaming for this day!

 

[SpiritOf1903]

last time NZ beat Pak - Akram made debut

 

[Oxy]

What a great ball 2nd up! Play & miss - big appeal

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Goodness me how you play that

 

[saj001]

whata ball by asif

 

[Zechariah]

What a pleasure to see Asif bowl.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Guptil

Too full

 

[HuZi]

damn it zee cinema is dead by my

 

[Hash]

im just popping out, i think Kiwis will be 756 for 1 at close.

 

[RexRex]

Maybe its just the wind

 

[SpiritOf1903]

giving away boundaries tho . .

at such early stage these are easy pickings. tighten the field

Easy

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Half volley on the legs of Guptil and cracked for 4

 

[Zechariah]

Too leg sidish by asif, 4

 

[amarmak]

i dont agree with the field setting though

 

[Zechariah]

That's better line from Asif 15/1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

13/1

 

[Cheguvera]

Asif is bowling crap...he will be a huge disappointment for Pakistani fans...mark my words...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Asif charging in with purpose and bowling around 132-133 k's! Impressive but not much swing at the moment!

 

[Zechariah]

i dont agree with the field setting though

Send Moyo a text message

 

[Afridi_Fan]

That's better line from Asif 15/1

Its not 15 issed:

 

[Oxy]

Drop Asif.......

 

[Zechariah]

Asif is bowling crap...he will be a huge disappointment for Pakistani fans...mark my words...

He may be but its very nice to have him back after two years.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

im just popping out, i think Kiwis will be 756 for 1 at close.

it feels that way. if we don't get at least 2 more wickets by lunch, this could be a false dawn . .

 

[iZeeshan]

Not too great of an over from Asif.

Let's hope he shapes up.

Really wish I could watch this, seems exciting.

PakPassion ftw.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

138km/he :aamir

 

[Zechariah]

Its not 15 issed:

Acha yaar maaf kar do, 13/1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

137 km/hr

 

[Oxy]

Asif in the groove - nice & smooth.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

139km/hr

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

139 kph from aamer...looking dangerous!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

swing?????????

 

[dildilpakistan]

aamer the great

great start by aamer mashallah. lets hope this is the start of a great series for him

 

[Afridi_Fan]

more

 

[Zechariah]

Nice weather down there in NZ as they are in their summer, I miss the Canadian summer already

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another single

 

[Afridi_Fan]

138km/he

18/1

 

[Zechariah]

138 KM/h

get up there boi...

 

[Seen Sheen]

I think we'll have either boundaries or singles..

 

[pak4life]

What a beautiful ground this is

 

[amar1212]

What a beautiful ground this is

too short though

 

[Oxy]

Asif finds the edge - good stop at slip

 

[saj001]

egde and safe

 

[pak4life]

Better line and length from asif he was too full in the last over

 

[Seen Sheen]

good stop by 3rd slipper!

 

[HuZi]

afirdi_fan aka captain of my team (bravehearts ) where r u watching it>

 

[Oxy]

Oh yes! Waqar is part of the commentary team!

 

[amar1212]

now swing for asif yet so far

 

[Inswinger]

What a delivery!!

 

[Oxy]

now swing for asif yet so far

What a ripper - late late away swing

 

[RumiNYC]

I'm pretty sure half of the people never gotten to play a league cricket here and they have more idea than Yusuf ? lol... just shushh guys..watch the game...

 

[Rob H]

Another 4 down to 3rd man. A position that will leak runs when the ball is swinging like this, a man is needed there surely

 

[Inswinger]

Thick edge for four. Runs coming in at a rapid pace.

 

[Oxy]

22-1 off 4

But that was a good over - Asif will time to adjust. He's been bowling to kids in nets for last 2 years

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

relax guys...thats how guptil plays.....he will score runs fast

 

[amar1212]

what aamers fastest bowling speed ever???

 

[Oxy]

Another 4 down to 3rd man. A position that will leak runs when the ball is swinging like this, a man is needed there surely

MAybe Moyo has forgotten hes captain?

 

[SpiritOf1903]

New Zealand RR 5.50

Asif needs to tighten up. the recent ODI series haven't had as high a run-rate . .

 

[Oxy]

Short from Aamer - good bouncer

 

[Afridi_Fan]

High 130's speed by aamir

 

[Kean0]

im talking to a Nz'lder and he says this ground is normally used for rugby therefore the small size and hence the boundaries.

 

[Seen Sheen]

another 4

 

[Oxy]

4 down legside - bit slack

26-1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Man these are some small grounds.

26/1

 

[iZeeshan]

Runs are coming annoyingly easy for the Kiwis.

Gotta limit them or there's no pressure!

 

[Rob H]

off to deep extra cover.... oh nope off to adverts we go. I eagerly await the return of the ridiculous blonde woman on the insurance advert.

 

[Oxy]

Beautiful setting - Ive had enough of Asian grounds. Souless (except SL)

 

[Kean0]

4 down legside - bit slack

26-1

I get the feeling these 2 are still looking for the swing Oxy. They dont fancy bowling line and length yet.

 

[Oxy]

off to deep extra cover.... oh nope off to adverts we go. I eagerly await the return of the ridiculous blonde woman on the insurance advert.

Asian Blonde solicitor (I mean actress?)

 

[Random Aussie]

Wow Pakistan playing Test cricket!!

 

[SpiritOf1903]

im talking to a Nz'lder and he says this ground is normally used for rugby therefore the small size and hence the boundaries.

why they not using a proper ground then ?

this could turn out to be the first 5 day ODI
