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

[Paradox]

They should really take advantage of Oram right now and possibly Styris and Nathan McCullum (if they bowl). All three are very ordinary bowlers.

We need to touch up the run rate here.

 

[Sheikh]

That was a lovely ball by Vettori to dismiss Umar. Just drifted in a touch, pitched, straightened, and knocked off stump. Umar played the wrong line though; should have been covering up a bit.

Sluggish pitch, anything over 200 will be competitive. 10 overs of Afridi will put us in a solid position, since he takes the pitch out of the equation.

 

[Paradox]

Afridi's bat ) ) )

Oh damn, I'd really love to get my hand on one of those. Looks a stunning bat, lovely blade with thick edges and quite light as well.

That's my bat for next season.

 

[haroonrasheed320]

why did the put Kami so low down the order, why didn't they play Malku

 

[Inswinger]

Afridi's bat ) ) )

Oh damn, I'd really love to get my hand on one of those. Looks a stunning bat, lovely blade with thick edges and quite light as well.

That's my bat for next season.

Even has 'Boom Boom' on the edges.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Had Khalid Lateef not scored those 33 runs it would have been 48/4 instead of 81/4....his slow scoring has definately something to do with the pitch

 

[Momo]

Atleast he didn't got out for a duck he is on 33 off 72 balls

This is far worse than geetting out on a duck. We only have 300 deliveries, remember?

 

[Inswinger]

Latif dropped. I knew the Kiwis wanted him out there for as long as possible.

 

[Ayyub]

Afridi's bat ) ) )

send me 1 also

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

25.5 Vettori to Khalid Latif, no run, Dropped by McCullum. It was sliding down the leg side, tries to swat it away , gets a bottom-edge and McCullum, moving to his left, couldn't hold on

 

[Daytripped]

We can still post a pretty decent total though. We have Afridi, Razzaq, Akmal. Even Aamer can do some hard hitting when he needs to.

 

[Ayyub]

This is far worse than geetting out on a duck. We only have 300 deliveries, remember?

hmmm acha i thought its has 600 balls

 

[PapaBear]

To win you have to play well, better team on the day always wins

 

[PapaBear]

Akmal will be back as opener, regular openers just don't cut it

 

[taaveez]

"come on, big boy" - Afridi to Vettori on the last bowl!!

 

[Momo]

They are way too smart to dismiss Latif.

 

[zarak]

im ssorry to say but khalid latif is an embarassment

 

[taaveez]

This is some pretty amazing fielding today by NZ

 

[Easa]

"come on, big boy" - Afridi to Vettori on the last bowl!!

) Lege'.

However, I think he was actually whispering that to himself. Nothing like a bout of narcissism to spur on a batting blitz.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

100 up

[Pakistani tigers]

Khalid seems to be playing the anchor innings. whats wrong with that?

 

[Momo]

hmmm acha i thought its has 600 balls

It doesn't really hurt us even if you thought so. But the fact that Latif appears to think so too is hurting our cause big time.

 

[Ayyub]

4 by latif lol

 

[DonJee]

im ssorry to say but khalid latif is an embarassment

Why?

Its been a pleasure watching him which such care unlike most other Pakistani batsmen.

I agree. How dare he stick around when all those around him were capitulating!

 

[Sheikh]

Brilliant by Shahid - smashes one out of the ground and then pinches a single.

He looks in good touch.

Pakistan RR 4.06

 

[Hash]

Rob on cricinfo....

Rob: "Hmm Afridi has done a good job so far.. Like a lot of Kiwi supporters I still bear the scars of what he did to us in the 92 world cup..He seems to like the spinners today, time for Mr Bond to bowl a couple?"

Errr, Afridi in the 1992 World Cup?

 

[Inswinger]

Lala, stay calm. 19 overs to go.

 

[imshally81]
