Pakistan vs New Zealand | 1st ODI | Abu Dhabi | 3/11/09 | NZ Innings

[MIG]

That makes sense. He is the snick specialist.

Others arent, esp batters with 0.01 brain cells > Salman Butts allocation

 

[asadee]

i bet he will get a wicket today on a no ball

 

[easy_like_sunday]

look like wasim told aamir to get close to the stumps as he kept saying that when he was commentating at icc, dats why he couldnt swing the ball in to the right hander,today he is swinging the ball in to the right hander

 

[Momo]

I think Aamers trousers are a bit too big, he needs to get a smaller size...

Hes bowling birlliantly yes...

That's good. It will ensure that he doesn't get too big for his trousers.

Very interesting !

 

[Pakistani tigers]

think positve boys. dont be fickle fans. Gully will bowl better.

 

[Da Best]

End of a typical new ball Gul over. 15-0.

 

[MIG]

10 run over from Gul comes to an end ... no more pls!

 

[MIG]

Gul is the chink in our armour - opening bowlers need to hold off until 10th over atleast to allow Afridi/Ajmal some chance of success

 

[Sheikh]

Oh yeah? Aaqib will be back in a flash...

What a slower ball! Just barely knocked off the bail!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

LoL Butt just fielded one in the slip and he is so pleased he did tht.

 

[Sheikh]

That's good. It will ensure that he doesn't get too big for his trousers.

[Momo]

I predict ten overstepping no-balls (free hits):

Aamer: 2
Gul: 7 (one on a free-hit delivery)
Ajmal: 1

Five of the free hits will fetch boundaries.

No balls: One gone, nine to go.
Boundaries on free hits: One gone, four to go.
No balls on free hit deliveries: one to go

 

[MIG]

What a slower ball! Just barely knocked off the bail!

I think this is what you are talking about..

[midaz]

dropped

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Butt Sahib drops one in the slip.

 

[Sheikh]

138.5 kph from Aamer, but is skidding on even quicker. Forced a few rushed inside edges, unlucky not to get the breakthrough.

 

[hur rizvi]

That makes sense. He is the snick specialist.

And here he drops the first one!!!!

 

[Da Best]

Gul is the chink in our armour - opening bowlers need to hold off until 10th over atleast to allow Afridi/Ajmal some chance of success

Basically we need a good opening bowling pair. Then the rest will handle themselves. But Aamer and Asif as the new ball bowlers would be great.

 

[MIG]

Butt Sahib drops one in the slip.

I think he needs a shrink real fast...

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Gul needs to be dropped.

 

[hur rizvi]

138.5 kph from Aamer, but is skidding on even quicker. Forced a few rushed inside edges, unlucky not to get the breakthrough.

Well speed guns are far from being right bonds fastest was 143.1 and it cant be true

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Thanks to buttaaah 2 fours

 

[mohsinr12]

Mohammad Aamer (lfm) 3.0 0 5 0 1.66
Finally we have a fast bowler

 

[hasanb]

Cricinfo at its best:

4.5
Mohammad Aamer to Redmond, no run, loud shout for lbw but it pitched outside leg and was high as well. It moved in towards middle, bouncing away, the batsman doesn't offer a shot and is hit on the pad ..

----

Ok so somehow even though it pitched outside leg, it still moved in towards middle stump...and then it bounced away as well even though it was moving in and pitched outside leg...

errm ok then..

 

[taaveez]

Gul just can't get his line right. He's all over the map.

 

[rhussain33]

Butt drops one, got it in his hands... hahaha

 

[Pakistani tigers]

Butt is such a waste of space. he cant bat, cant field, cant bowl and now cant catch. what can he do!

 

[insaaniyat]

Butt Sahib drops one in the slip.

What do you expect from Butt Sahib?

 

[Momo]

And here he drops the first one!!!!

It so happens that the snick specialist is an expert in getting the snicks BUTT not catching them.

 

[hasanb]

I cant even begin to explain in words my hate for Butt at this point in time.

 

[tauseefm]

Butt is such a waste of space. he cant bat, cant field, cant bowl and now cant catch. what can he do!

speak english

 

[don1990]

starts doing garbage.....

 

[insaaniyat]

I cant even begin to explain in words my hate for Butt at this point in time.

Hate word should not be used. This is only a game. Watch and enjoy

[Ali888]

Umar Gul is a train wreck right now, why is he not dropped after a year of bowling rubbish?

 

[MIG]

Gul shouldnt bowl next over - need to make the change.

 

[srh]

When Asif comes back Gul will be gone.

 

[Momo]

Butt is such a waste of space. he cant bat, cant field, cant bowl and now cant catch. what can he do!

Harsh yaar! His talents lie elsewhere. For example he is the king of the art of making comebacks.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Amirr>.... U Beautyyyyyy @ 6.4

 

[Oxy]

Super over from Aamer

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

GR8 Bowling by amir... =D

 

[Wanton]

Aamir seems to be unplayable right now and Umer having some confidence problem!

 

[Ali888]

Gul should be gone for ever. If he had any dignity and respect for the nation he would drop himself.

 

[Da Best]

Harsh yaar! His talents lie elsewhere. For example he is the king of the art of making comebacks.

Umm India? Thrashing India?

 

[hasanb]

What an amazing spell from aamer...stunning.

What a crying shame gulla and buttaa are waiting to screw him over after his good work.

I would suggest Rana coming in for Gul for the next game as well as Malik coming in for Butt. That would be a very well balanced side.

 

[cricket_fever]

When there is no misbah....then they make Butt field at slip of all places and he drops a catch of all things off the Kiwis run machine of all people! I feel like screaming!

 

[uzy99]

Easy boy. He's a professional athlete. He will figure it out.

 

[don1990]

gone

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Gone.

 

[Oxy]

Gul strikes!

30-1

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Gullllllllleeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy Bowleedd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cricket_fever]

Aamirs having quite a game (mashallah so i dont jinx him!)

 

[sehban]

gul strikes... deserving wicket

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

GR888 come bak

 

[Daytripped]

Bowled!

 

[Da Best]

Gul? Wicket? New ball? I just don't get it... Well it happened...

 

[taaveez]

Of the two, Gul gets the wicket. Unlucky Aamer.

 

[Khabri420]

gets the breakthrough. Danger man gone. Game over.

 

[don1990]

mclum

 

[uzy99]

Gul should be gone for ever. If he had any dignity and respect for the nation he would drop himself.

What do you have to say now?

 

[Wanton]

Hopefully this wicket brings him his lost confidence back!

 

[hasanb]

Time to eat humble pie....where is it, what flavour

 

[waqar_ahmad]

With all the hard work that aamer has done, useless Gul gets the wicket.

 

[don1990]

guptill comes in....

 

[cricket_fever]

Gullllllllleeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy Bowleedd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Justice! Akmal shot that.

 

[don1990]

Umar Gul to BB McCullum, UT, And there we go. The first wicket has fallen. It was slightly short in length straightening outside off, McCullum tried to fetch it from there with a pull shot but dragged the ball on to the stumps.

 

[ace_allrounder]

Just loved the CLUNK when the stumps got hit!

 

[Sheikh]

Gul should be gone for ever. If he had any dignity and respect for the nation he would drop himself.

Speaking of gone, nice to have had you for a few moments.

 

[Momo]

Gulla uproots McCulla's killa with a killa delivery!

Bulla bulla bulla!

 

[uzy99]

With all the hard work that aamer has done, useless Gul gets the wicket.

This is usually what happens. You build up pressure from one end and force the batsmen to score off the other. McCullum tried to force the pace and played on. Not much Gul can do about dropped catches off the first ball of the over.

 

[sehban]

31/1 8 overs... very good start from the bowlers

 

[don1990]

after a long time seeing a yorker from gul.....

 

[ace_allrounder]

Hey! everyone calls him Gullay! I didnt know!

 

[Daytripped]

Aamer really deserves a couple of wickets, the way he's been bowling.

 

[Khabri420]

Younis Khan should give himself a bowl. Can't do much worse than how he batted today

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Gud yorker to end the over... hope to see the same old GUL we know now

 

[Cover Drive]

Double taken on Aamers first ball

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Aamer deserves a wicket though... he is bowling really well
