I thought he said Gulfraizi and it made me more confused, please shed some light PP'ers. :akmal

It means that ball will turn because at times ball is spinning after hitting the bat and spins to either difrection after hitting the ground that really confuse the fielder.

thats very rude but i laughed all the same!


LMAO hahahahhahaha actually when me and my mom were watching the t20 match, he came on the screen and said "My nick name is Moon" and my mom then replied "oy kitthon? lagda kaala chaand hai". I started cracking up.
 
To put this in context, NZ have scored 100 runs in the last 25 overs.

Aamer can restrict the batsmen but is still to produce a match winning bowling effort :akhtar

Can you please stop with the negativity, it's getting quite annoying.

iDone comes into the attack.

We've done a great job to pull this back, this is a flat featherbed. More so than the last game.
 
Anyone wanna tell me how power play works? My cricket knowledge isn't up to par with all of you, but i understand the game well. I've been watching it as a batting and bowling type of game and know pretty much all the rules. I live in U.S and have been for the past 11 years so i watch mostly basketball and such sports...but have been following Cricket too...Never got to understand the Power Play rule. How and when is it used? Any one got the time to explain? :)

A Powerplay is a rule introduced in 2005 concerning fielding restrictions in One Day International (ODI) cricket and designed to give a temporary advantage to the batting side. In the past, there was a 15-over period at the start of an innings when only two fielders were allowed outside the 30-yard circle. This meant that attacking batsmen were likely to score runs quickly in the first 15 overs, because they were able to play aggressive shots likely to result in a boundary at a lower risk of being caught out, but would become more watchful after the end of the spell.

In an effort to keep the game more exciting during the middle overs, this rule was amended to apply not only to the first 10 overs of every innings, but also in two blocks of five overs, Powerplays, of which one may be used by the fielding captain, and one may be used by the batting captain.

Implementation

1. The first ten overs in an innings are defined as Powerplay One. The fielding restrictions during this period are exactly the same as per the old ODI rules with only two players being allowed to stand outside the 30-yard circle and two fielders required to be placed in close catching position.
2. The first block of five overs chosen at the discretion of the relevant captain (as described above) is defined as Powerplay Two. The captain has to decide at which point he wishes to implement this rule. He can only implement it at the beginning of an over, provided he informs the umpire.[1] During this period only three fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle. However there is no mandatory number of close catchers during this power play.
3. The second block of five overs, with identical parameters to Powerplay Two, is defined as Powerplay Three.
4. When the relevant side's captain informs the umpire that he wishes to enact a powerplay, the official will signal so by moving his arm in a circular motion.
5. Should the fielding/batting captain/s choose not to exercise his/their discretion, the remaining powerplays automatically commence at the latest available point in the innings (i.e. at the start of the 41st and 46th overs in an uninterrupted innings).
6. When the Powerplay rule was first introduced, the decision regarding when Powerplays Two and Three was at the discretion of the captain of the fielding team.
7. Since October 2008 (starting from the one-day series between New Zealand and Bangladesh) rules were changed in that the batting team decides when to introduce either the second or the third Powerplay during their innings.
 
Raz I agree, Vettori does nothing but sweep. He has no other shots.

Things looking grim. 300 is on the cards. :(

I wouldn't count on that Momo. Before it seriously looked like 320 plus. Now it looks like 250 odd.

Don't worry we've got our Number 1 batsman - Yousuf - to knock off the runs

This may be true but my biggest downfalls have all come as a result of overestimating women.

Thanks. I now know i might be able to get in to the team :)))

No sorry it's your turn to be rotated (probably on a permanent basis)

shame :) but have you not heard of the saying (something like)..behind every successful man is a successful woman?
 
Anything below 300 and we should be very confident. 300+ will be very tough as it's a pressure game.
 
Ajmal gets the big fish Taylor lbw. New Zealand in big, big trouble. There goes 250

Just after 31 posts, this looks BS to you. I can hear you.

That is the beauty of the live commentary thread. It's better than being bombarded with the live chat style commentary and no one knows who and what to respond to.
 
Ok so Jacob Oram is in now. He has seriously deteriorated as a player. But he still be dangerous.
 
Looking good Pakistan....

187/5 in 38.3 overs
