Pakistan v New Zealand | World T20 | Oval | 13/6/09 [NZ Inns]

[Afridi_Fan]

Shazaib playing instead of Butt - did I hear right.

Abdul Razzaq instead of Tanvir.

Good squad.

ShahZaib or Shehzad, if its Shahzaib then its a good selection I think so.

 

[Lethal]

Charles Corville calling Tanvir useless.

So true.

 

[Farhan!]

Shazaib and Razzaq IN, Butt and Tavir OUT.

 

[Lethal]

Abdul Razzaq chatting with Aleem Dar.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok guess the Team Management got their brain celss working for this match.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Damn - not confident about us chasing.

Anything above 140 we will struggle with - lets hope Afrid and Co can do some magic with the ball

 

[adilmomin]

u think shahzaib will provide anything good? nz pace battery is good. this is no 2020 domestic in pak.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Toss: Dan Vettori, who is fit to play, has chosen to bat. "The shoulder is ok. This is pretty important game and we just want to get as close to bat team as possible. 180 should be a good total."

Younis: "This is the game. Do or die. We have to get off to a good start and restrict them to 140 or 150. Razzak is back." No Butt. Shahzaib is his replacement.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Thank god Butts dropped!

Pakistan will need to improve there horrendous record chasing totals.

 

[Lethal]

Yes. Shazaib given a chance.

 

[pak4life]

We cant complain about the side today though arguably our best side we could have picked

 

[darkmoon459]

Oh cool Razaaler is Playing.

 

[The Slogger]

need to restrict them under 140-150 !

Bad news is that we are not known for chasing. Good news is we dont have Tanvir to gift away the powerplay!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Damn - not confident about us chasing.

Anything above 140 we will struggle with - lets hope Afrid and Co can do some magic with the ball

Ye its once again back on the spinners, but the [pacers need to do the job in the powerplay overs.

 

[Zahid87]

Please, please someone tell Younis that English can be spoken a little bit slower. No need to go so quick!

Bold, bold selction. Congrats to YK for having the balls to do it. Tanvir was sh*t yesterday. Butt is not a T20 player. It needed to be done. Lets hope the gamble pays off.

Hopefully the Pakistani crowd is bigger today. Yesterday we were outnumbered by miles. All India. Had to take some crap from them. Aussies too were ar*eholes. Racist chanting. Go home you P**i dogs was chanted a few times.

 

[IMMY69]

nick night suggesting pakistan open battign with afridi now that razaq is in the side...
and i must say i agree with him...

 

[IMMY69]

i would open the batting with shezaib and afridi with akmal at number 3...

 

[Inswinger]

Shahzaib and Afridi opening together is dangerous (for us). We can easily be 2 down in the first over.

 

[hashman]

Moin Khan thinks pakistan will struggle chasing anything over 150

 

[darkmoon459]

I would rather have razzak open the batting with shazaib and Akmal at 3 and afridi down the order.

 

[adilmomin]

i would open the batting with shezaib and afridi with akmal at number 3...

they would do that only if we batted first, now they wont unless 200 is on the cards which i hope not...it will be akmal shahzaib malik... i think we will restrict to 140ish, i hope we start out firing, pak needs to understand that winning the game in 17 overs helps them! and no one else.

 

[hello143]

I would play in this order:

- Afridi
-Shahzaib
-Malik
-Younis
-Fawad
-Misbah
-Kamran/Razzaq
-Razzaq/Kamran
-Gul
-Aamir
-Ajmal

 

[Lethal]

Shahzaib and Afridi opening together is dangerous (for us). We can easily be 2 down in the first over.

True - but its not as if we don't normally lose wickets early on.

Pakistan normally are 2-3 wickets down after 6 overs.

[anakwalajinn]

Aussies and racist? Never!

 

[anakwalajinn]

man I have missed him (razzak)

 

[Lethal]

Time for national anthems.

 

[Zaad]

so we are bowling first..

exciting

 

[12thMan]

Kiya zamana a giya hay. Before it used to be Rameez calling all Indian bowlers medium pacers and Manjrekar just called Razzaq slow medium pacer

 

[Oxy]

I have to be somewhere in 2 hours.

This game might be over in 2 hours

 

[Lethal]

Nice to see 2 beasts of Pakistan together.

Abdul Razzaq and Afridi.

Although some would argue Afridi is not the beast he used to be.

 

[IMMY69]

i heard somewhere that razaq is bowling into the late 80's consistantly again....

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

is this a better selection?

 

[The Slogger]

Do or Die !

 

[IMMY69]

I have to be somewhere in 2 hours.

This game might be over in 2 hours

unlikely, nz are batting first...although if it is then it could only mean a pakistan victory

 

[Lethal]

i heard somewhere that razaq is bowling into the late 80's consistantly again....

I hope so.

InshaALLAH Pakistan win.

Pakistan Zindabad.

 

[saqeeb90]

are we posting here for live match analysis )

[Momo]

The 'moment of truth' moment is here my fellow PPers.

 

[darkmoon459]

We will Do it today and Die another but not today.

 

[IMMY69]

I hope so.

InshaALLAH Pakistan win.

Pakistan Zindabad.

sorry i should have added 'kph'

 

[Lethal]

McCullum and Redmond out in the middle

 

[Phuzz]

I've never been more happy to see Razzaq in the side. I hope he can do the business for us today.

 

[iZeeshan]

Let's see how this goes...

I don't want to lose.

 

[Lethal]

Aamer opening the bowling.

 

[Inswinger]

Aamir to attatck

 

[saqeeb90]

who is going to start bowling

for pak?
mohammad amir is he the right choice ?

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Surely Pakistan should win over a 2nd string NZ side....

 

[IMMY69]

4

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

444444444444

 

[Lethal]

First ball a boundary.

Too short

 

[Inswinger]

Short and dispatched for four.

 

[pak4life]

The only concern with aamir is he dosnt take many wickets

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Another couple of runs

 

[Inswinger]

Aamir's bowling just a touch too short.

 

[12thMan]

Pakistan doesn't have to win this. Can't NZ and Ireland beat SL and Pakistan has to beat Ireland by 213 runs

 

[The Slogger]

first ball 4 ...

 

[IMMY69]

Short and dispatched for four.

u can blame butt for that

 

[saqeeb90]

it looks like newzeland are playing freely
no pressure at all

 

[invincible]

Another couple of runs

Hello Geordie! Feeling confident?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

To the legside for a single

7 runs from 3 deliveries

 

[darkmoon459]

First ball 44444444444444444

 

[Inswinger]

u can blame butt for that

What? Is this what your going to be hanging on to today?

 

[Inswinger]

Free runs given.

 

[khilari]

Game on

Pakistan Zindabad

 

[Lethal]

Already Pakistan making mistakes.

Over throws.

 

[12thMan]

Pakistani fielding zindabad. What will other teams do without it

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Hello Geordie! Feeling confident?

Nope - we are horrible at chasing.

Also our fielding is shocking, against the likes of Netherlands it is okay BUT top teams will punish you and we gift them 20-30 runs due to poor fielding

 

[IMMY69]

What? Is this what your going to be hanging on to today?

no no my mistake..i meant amir lacking wickets is because of butt dropping catches...

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

44444444444444444

14 runs from the first over

Poor start from Aamer

 

[Lethal]

Expensive over.

14 off it

 

[The Slogger]

14 off the 1st... cmon Pakistan!!

 

[Inswinger]

14 off the first over. Pitch looks like a belter.

 

[saqeeb90]

4 again

14 in 1st over
same as yesterday.......***?

 

[Inswinger]

Will Razzaq get the new ball?

 

[khilari]

14 off first over... arghhh.... Why is our start always so discouraging

 

[Lethal]

Abdul Razzaq new bowler.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Abdul Razzaq to bowl now

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

poor star once again

 

[cricketkashmir]

razzaq!!come on boy!!
