116/2

 

[Markhor]

Nice to see a lively crowd in. One of the highlights of the series has been Styris and Bazid trading barbs on commentary

Anyway Williamson continuing his fine run of form, that lad can really play. Pakistan have done OK so far, keeping NZ down to just over 4 an over, don't want to be chasing anything more than 240-250.

Waqar looking on

[Justcrazy]

122 /2

28 overs

 

[Mr Consistent]

122-2
28 0vers

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kiwis building a good platform here, we need 2 quick wickets to reign them in from looking at a total of 250-70

 

[desi_launda]

Should be easy win for Pakistan,NZ side looks really weak

 

[Mr Consistent]

5 runs from the over

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kiwis 130/2 after 30 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

Spinners have done a good job slowing runs down here and so far 5th bowler has done its job.

 

[aukhan]

Taylor playing at the SR of 58.

 

[Hitman]

I'm starting to like Scott Styris, the commentator.

 

[aukhan]

Selfish batting from Williamson and Taylor.

They are batting like selfish YK.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good tidy over from sohail

 

[Amjid Javed]

Selfish batting from Williamson and Taylor.

They are batting like selfish YK.

They are trying to set a platform looks like for having a go in last 15 overs.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I wonder if Taylor is playing at a SR of 50 , if they are people in NZ asking for him to be dropped

 

[Mr Consistent]

50 partnership

 

[aukhan]

This is selfish batting against trundler Anwar.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Both batsmen well set so we need a wicket here.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Either NZ are expecting to just destroy Pakistan in last 15 or they believe 250 is a winning score on this pitch...

 

[Amjid Javed]

PP when its taken will be crucial for both sides as game is very well ballanced at moment.

 

[aukhan]

Can't believe he is playing ahead of bhatti.

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[asyed]

Either NZ are expecting to just destroy Pakistan in last 15 or they believe 250 is a winning score on this pitch...

Don't you remember how much they scored in last 10 over in last game? I believe somewhere around 90.

 

[aukhan]

World cup will be the end of Anwar's career if he somehow gets selected.

 

[Mr Consistent]

143-2
33 overs

 

[Mr Consistent]

four..150 up for nz

 

[asyed]

Heard something interesting last night on a TV show. Everybody wonder why trundler Anwar is playing and usually gets selected ahead of Bhatti (myself included). Well boss and likes him very much so as our head coach.

 

[jib13673]

I wonder if Taylor is playing at a SR of 50 , if they are people in NZ asking for him to be dropped

Tylor has shown everyone previosely that he can hit 50 from next 30 balls, but not yunis khan and will never.

 

[jib13673]

Tylor has shown everyone previosely that he can hit 50 from next 30 balls, but not yunis khan and will never.

And by some how yunis khan or asad shafeeq... hits 50 of 40 balls... not sure if they can win matches for pakistan in their life time

 

[Lords]

Too slow, nothing exciting seems to be happening

 

[aukhan]

Heard something interesting last night on a TV show. Everybody wonder why trundler Anwar is playing and usually gets selected ahead of Bhatti (myself included). Well boss and likes him very much so as our head coach.

Awais Zia, Umer Amin and now Anwar Ali. What an eye for talent.

 

[Mr Consistent]

35 overs

 

[rollingstoned]

Styris is a massive improvement on annoying Ramiz Raja and Morrison. Both are quite unbearable to listen to at times.

 

[Savak]

Our bowling attack has looked very unpenetrative throughout the series.

 

[Mr Consistent]

PP time

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[Mr Consistent]

another Boundary Phainty Time

 

[desi_launda]

Styris is a massive improvement on annoying Ramiz Raja and Morrison. Both are quite unbearable to listen to at times.

i believe Danny's bromance with "Baz" is quite serious

 

[IAJ]

Williamson's underarms are bigger than his overarms, looks strange.

 

[Hitman]

Styris is a massive improvement on annoying Ramiz Raja and Morrison. Both are quite unbearable to listen to at times.

I feel the same.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Styris is a massive improvement on annoying Ramiz Raja and Morrison. Both are quite unbearable to listen to at times.

Agreed.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kiwis starting to motor and force the game forward at pace and with wickets in hand could do some damage here, we dont want to be chasing more than 250 here.

 

[Mr Consistent]

edged & four

 

[pakistani pride]

Kiwis starting to motor and force the game forward at pace and with wickets in hand could do some damage here, we dont want to be chasing more than 250 here.

We should.
This wicket is good for batting.
We bat deep.

a good start is needed but we play tailenders at the top.

 

[Mr Consistent]

174-2
37 overs

 

[Bullet Drive]

This is our worst attack probably ever.

Cannot wait for the return of Junaid Khan.

Irfan is a different bowler. Management have ruined him.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

We should.
This wicket is good for batting.
We bat deep.

a good start is needed but we play tailenders at the top.

No the wicket is on the slow side.

New Zealand have hit only 12-13 4's in the entire innings.

Going by the Pakistani batting, which relies on 4's, anything above 260 is going to be hard.

 

[leatherface58]

Rosco's SR is rising.

 

[jib13673]

This is going to be a difficult chase for pakistan.. Specially yunis, asad and haris facing AF Milne, MJ Henry, MJ McClenaghan....

Still newzealand will miss vettori

 

[jib13673]

Pakistanis are giving easy runs uisng haris sohail and ahmed shahzad in the middle overs. No wickets for them.. this will happen in worldcup too..

 

[Mr Consistent]

good delivery

 

[saeedhk]

Match almost lost.

 

[Justcrazy]

Big carnage coming soon

 

[Justcrazy]

Williamson is a class player. A great probably

 

[Justcrazy]

Why Umar Akmal not tried as a bowler ?

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[Justcrazy]

What a shot by Taylor .... straight down the ground . 4

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Danny Morrison's speaking inflections are really annoying when you've heard him too much.

 

[Mr Consistent]

183-2
39 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Beautiful sun set in progress.

 

[Bullet Drive]

NZ will score above 300 easily here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Baba G back

 

[DarkKnightRisesAgain]

Z.Babar is such a mediocre and poor spinner in this line up, How in the world is he preferred over Raza Hassan I'll never know!

 

[zabalestmsm]

Our fast bowlers are useless! Even Irfan aint reliable! But the Aus/NZ pitches will offer extra help to the fast bowlers which may support our ones!

 

[Justcrazy]

NZ will score above 300 easily here.

300 is a par score these days , why you playing soo much batting ? You have to chase them

 

[Justcrazy]

Williamson with his bowling , is a huge bonus for Kiwis.

 

[zabalestmsm]

We are clearly missing the trick by not having a 5th specialist bowler! We cant rely on Haris or Shehzad!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kiwis 188/2 and could easily get 300 from here with 2 well set batsmen.

 

[Justcrazy]

190/2

60 balls left

 

[Mr Consistent]

190-2
40 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

280 is likely total here

 

[MMHS]

Horrible & timid Captaincy yaar - PAK is allowing Kiwis posting close to 300 just by walking.

 

[Amjid Javed]

5th bowler has done its job problem is with such low bowing resources we cant afford other main bowlers to have a bad game which happens more often then not.

 

[Markhor]

This is a repeat of the last match. We look so toothless with this 4 specialist bowler lineup.

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Pakistan pull back a bit here ?

 

[Lords]

Projected score, 270+ ?

 

[Justcrazy]

Six from that over.
