Hafeez
Afridi
Younis
UAkmal
Fawad
Razzaq
Akhtar

 

[Newton_fan]

Geo Super is Gone Mad..

 

[Atif]

Shape of the ground looks weird

Is it a triangular by any chance ?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

No Shehzad, Shafiq is playing and probably opening with Lala at 3.

What Body Language, "Was a good wake up call." Brilliant

 

[haizen]

footage from the warm up game...damn :/

 

[Atif]

So Afridi to open along with Hafeez then?!

I'm hoping so, like most of us here.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

This Interview taken at that Warm-up match time..

 

[afridianakhtar1]

AFRIDI should open the inning!

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

I saw the lineups immediately after the Toss.

Even Cricinfo is showing that Shehzad playing

 

[Down2Earth]

ahmed shahzad had to play, can't believe that they dropped him.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

So, 10 mins to go to start the match..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I'm hoping so, like most of us here.

I'm not hoping that though as I'd more prefer him to come in at 3 or 4 at most!

 

[Newton_fan]

Stop Following Geo Super. they are gone Mad Shehzad playing on No.4 Position

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

ahmed shahzad had to play, can't believe that they dropped him.

He is in the 1st eleven..

 

[Down2Earth]

Stop Following Geo Super. they are gone Mad

i hope so

 

[Atif]

nice waqar interview

What did he say ?

 

[Down2Earth]

He is in the 1st eleven..

he should open with hafeez and afridi should be at 3

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Stop Following Geo Super. they are gone Mad Shehzad playing on No.4 Position

Are they also sleeping like CrapInfo's Staff members?? )

 

[sada90]

[cricketpassion]

Crapinfo

 

[Mian Hassan]

hmmm i think we are in for a tough match here...

 

[GOAT]

LOL @ the commentators. "Akhtar isn't as quick as he used to be.."

Still faster than anybody in the NZ lineup

 

[NZPakistanFan]

Shape of the ground looks weird

Eden Park is a strange shape. Straight boundries are VERY short, especially compared to leg side and off side. Small ground all up. PLayers about to come out. Hope this photo shows a little of the grounds dimensions.

[JellyBro]

Yunis Khan sticks out like a sore thumb in this format...

 

[Atif]

I'm not hoping that though as I'd more prefer him to come in at 3 or 4 at most!

You gonna be disappointed lol he did say himself start of the series he will open during the t20 series

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

he should open with hafeez and afridi should be at 3

Yeah.. He should open.. I think he will..

 

[Newton_fan]

Now that is the Proof. They are talking about Shehzad right now

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Did they Show after the Toss or in Headlines.

I saw the lineups immediately after the Toss.

Even Cricinfo is showing that Shehzad playing

I see now on cricinfo too but thats what i saw earlier on geo.

[Down2Earth]

Was it a Rugby Stadium before becoming a Cricket Stadium?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

You gonna be disappointed lol he did say himself start of the series he will open during the t20 series

I know! lol

 

[JellyBro]

Eden Park is not a true cricket ground. Boundaries are way too short and difficult to defend

 

[Uhaymid]

any streams mates?

 

[Down2Earth]

good work NZPFan

 

[Newton_fan]

Teams on the ground

 

[Down2Earth]

any streams mates?

cricpk

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Good amount of support for Pakistan..

 

[NZPakistanFan]

Was it a Rugby Stadium before becoming a Cricket Stadium?

Ground is actually designed with rugby in mind. It's used for cricket, but yeah, design means that it's a strange shape. Lots of 300 plus ODI scores here, due to small boundries on a couple of sides.

 

[Mian Hassan]

I think its a Football pitch!!!!!



it has the same shape like a football pitch

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Even noticed it by the first pics that NZPakistanFan posted that straight the ground looks pretty small!

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

cricpk

Mods requested to not share any stream links..

I don't have any either..

 

[Newton_fan]

under 180 Runs is Chasable looking at the ground.

 

[Mian Hassan]

Or a Rugby ground

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Itna ladkian nahi boulti jitna Moin boulte hain...and they are talking about Asad or younis keeping the wicket..Don't they know about Umar's keeping?

 

[JellyBro]

[SAF]

Im hoping for a 4-6 type of performence by Gully aka Guldozer

 

[NZPakistanFan]

Good amount of support for Pakistan..

Smallish crowd but people still coming in. I saw a number of Pakistan families and fans walking into the ground with me.

Tried to get a few photos of them to show you guys but my camera was on the blink. Here's one (not too clear and from a distance) but there's definitely a few Pakistan fans here today (even a few guys in India shirts too but they tend to be alone and looking out of place )
