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

[Zaad]

can i ask..

why wasnt he given a chance earlier?

 

[Zeenix]

Good yorker to finish

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Good yorker BUT Shahzaib survives it

 

[Oxy]

Yoorker - just fended off

54-1 off 6 overs

 

[Sparhawk]

Im loving this run rate

 

[Lethal]

Good yorker from Butler.

Good over for Pakistan/Shazaib.

 

[iZeeshan]

Yea I'm not impressed by Shazaib at all. He's no Afridi, he's only batting at 160 SR.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

54/1 in 6 overs.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

can i ask..

why wasnt he given a chance earlier?

cos our management is clueless BUT fortunately they have seen sense finally

 

[Phuzz]

powerplay over

 

[Oxy]

can i ask..

why wasnt he given a chance earlier?

 

[ali110]

Vow this guys has some serious potential for T20.

 

[Inswinger]

Need to get these runs ASAP. Something tells me NRR will decide the semi finalists from this group.

 

[Amir]

What idiots said "I'm not impressed with Shahzaib" .....much better than Butt!

 

[Lethal]

54-1 after 6 overs

 

[Sparhawk]

can i ask..

why wasnt he given a chance earlier?

He was. Got out first ball i think.

 

[khilari]

Thank you Shahzaib
For the first time, we aren't playing like scared kittens

 

[Zeenix]

Single to razzaq

 

[Oxy]

Whats going on? Razzaq Mk II is running hard!

 

[MIG]

How about Salman Butt as a media manager?

 

[Lethal]

Single to A.Razzaq

 

[Zaad]

in what game?

 

[iZeeshan]

He's perfect. Aww

 

[Zahid87]

Listen, Shahzaib is doing well and fair play to him. But please don't get carried away. He is batting in favourable circumstances, when the game is beyond NZ. Im not trying to take anything away from that, but keep things in perspective. Congratulate him today, but don't slate him if he fails in the next game.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Nicely bowled - beats the edge

 

[Amjid Javed]

Butt has his new job doing interviews for pakistan lol!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

[Oxy]

in what game?

England - out 2nd ball for 0

 

[iZeeshan]

Thank you Shahzaib
For the first time, we aren't playing like scared kittens

Because we're not scared kittens right now

 

[pak4life]

He seems to have a cool head on him too

 

[Inswinger]

He was. Got out first ball i think.

Warm up match and that too versus India.

 

[khilari]

How about Salman Butt as a media manager?

hehe .,..l yeah we discussed that in the other thread.

we can give him non meaningful game as a reward and play him against India in India

 

[Zaad]

need to get this score done by 12 overs to get our runrate up!

 

[Zahid87]

How about Salman Butt as a media manager?

He does give pretty good interviews from the sidelines.....

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Need 44 from 80 balls

 

[iZeeshan]

SHahzaib will murder Ireland.

 

[Oxy]

Some good yorkers here. And well dug out each time

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh man Fawad padded up. Since when are we so smart!

 

[Zeenix]

59-1 after 7 overs

 

[Inswinger]

That should have been a wide. Drifted down leg.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

59/1 in 7 overs.

 

[MIG]

Shahzaib is doing everything right.

AND - he can hit the ball over the boundary...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Just 41 needed to win now hopefully these two can polish the kiwis off...

 

[mnoman15]

Send fawad in .. Imran Khan is in London, may be Younis is consulting him over cell phone ...

 

[Zeenix]

Vettori to bow to razller..

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Vettori bowling

1st ball is dot

 

[saqlain]

Pakistan should score faster as the NRR will decide in this group who will advance.

 

[CrickFan]

Whoever selected this guy - needs a pat on the back ..

 

[MIG]

Razzaq is not good against spin ...

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

and another dot ball

 

[Oxy]

Sweet cover drive by Razz finds the man at Cover

 

[Lethal]

Vettori bowling.

2 dot balls

 

[khilari]

Shahzaib is gonna get a lot of Press

 

[Zeenix]

SIngle to razzler .. lets see what shaziab does

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

and a single - Shahzaib on strike

 

[iafzal]

Listen, Shahzaib is doing well and fair play to him. But please don't get carried away. He is batting in favourable circumstances, when the game is beyond NZ. Im not trying to take anything away from that, but keep things in perspective. Congratulate him today, but don't slate him if he fails in the next game.

agree although he does have hitting ability that many of current squad seemed to have lacked. He has a 150 SR in domestic T20

 

[Phuzz]

this will be a good workout for razzaq, and ready to tear the irish to pieces

 

[kingusama92]

lol Shahzaib reminds me of Sehwag... especially when he played that cut shot.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

single to Razz

 

[Zeenix]

Plays defensively..

 

[Zeenix]

Cuts for a single..

 

[12thMan]

Kumble greets a six with the same tone that he would greet a single.

Just like his bowling. Ball didn't move much this way or that way

 

[Oxy]

Great , late cut by Shazaib - only 1 - but what a confident stroke!
