Pakistan vs New Zealand | 2nd ODI | Abu Dhabi | 6/11/09 | NZ innings

[iHammad]

run rate too much!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Whats this!Sajmal fielding in the circle..

 

[sehban]

fielding has been quite poor today

 

[iHammad]

nice bowling Gul

 

[iHammad]

just short of !

 

[The Godfather]

pak really need a wicket soon

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Boundary balls :-S

 

[iHammad]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

71/1 after 12 overs.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50 Partnership.

 

[iHammad]

another boundary.
Really need a wicket!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Again two boundaries in the over.

 

[Vegitto1]

pissin me off now. You are better then this GUL! get your act together

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Well they are off to a really good start. Something we obviously wont get with Butt...

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

NZ looking to put up a big score.

No worries we have Malik in the side today.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Digital]

Now its annoying .........

 

[Monsee]

So Butt stays after a Golden Shooney (I guess he scored by dropping one catch though) and Akmal (one of the best young Pak batsmen in ages) is 'Rested'...well done Mr. iQuit Captain sir

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[90MPH]

pace is not working, bringing on spinners.

 

[Legal Eye]

It looks like a belting wicket, relax!

 

[Vegitto1]

lookin at 250+ here, provided the spinners do their job

 

[Afridi_Fan]

This is pathetic fielding.

83/1 after 13 overs.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

iDone comes in.

 

[90MPH]

About time. This will stem the runs at least, and hopefully a wicket or 2.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good over, just a single from it.

84/1 after 14 overs.

 

[iHammad]

good bowling ajmal!

 

[90MPH]

Good over by iDone

 

[90MPH]

Too many easy singles, this is not on.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

more.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Kaise hain sab?

 

[IMMY69]

shocking decision to drop umar akmal however looking at this track and the way razaq is bowling, it may be a blessing in disguise that malik has been picked!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Latif with a fumble there but no extra run taken!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

91/1 after 15 overs.

 

[cricket_fever]

O god! Whats up with the "best bowling attack" of the world today?

 

[MIG]

Kaise hain sab?

Allah ka shukar hai par Pakistan kay halat kharab hain...

 

[cricket_fever]

91/1 after 15 overs.

aye! Thats tooooomuch!

 

[90MPH]

NZ on course for 300 unless the spinners make some breakthroughs.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Can we rotate Popeye in the next game please.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

O god! Whats up with the "best bowling attack" of the world today?

'Boot on the other foot' saying comes to mind...

Pakistan built a huge total in the first ODI on a batting paradise and NZ are capitalising in the 2nd ODI...

The best to come out of this....it will prove to be good batting practice for Pakistan and get them used to chasing huge totals...

 

[cricket_fever]

Can we rotate Popeye in the next game please.

Popeye?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Allah ka shukar hai par Pakistan kay halat kharab hain...

I take it your referring to both on the cricket field and in general in Pakistan aswell!

 

[MIG]

Unfortunately a 250+ total is what Pakistan will be chasing.

Test of our batting and Mr. Malik is expected to something special, I guess

 

[MIG]

I take it your referring to both on the cricket field and in general in Pakistan aswell!

I suppose - although, I dont want to complicate this cricket thread !

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They've been going at 6 from the start!

 

[ringo16]

O god! Whats up with the "best bowling attack" of the world today?

We'll see them next innings mate. Vettori, Mills, Bond... three of the top ten all in the same team. Pakistan is lucky to play us

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I suppose - although, I dont want to complicate this cricket thread !

Indeed!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Vegitto..
You have made the mockery of Iqbal's poetry..the correct shair is
Nhe Hai Tera Nashaiman Qasr-e-Sultani k Gunbad Per

Tu Shaheen Hai Basaira Ker Paharon ki Chitanon Mein

 

[Afridi_Fan]

94/1 after 16 overs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Well bowled there by Ajmal

94 for 1 after 16

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Boom Boom is in the town.

 

[MIG]

BOOM BOOM in Waziristan says a banner ??

 

[Afridi_Fan]

hits the stumps and batsman.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

A referrel to the 3rd umpire first reaction that he's in and yes he's in!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

And Guptil is safe.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Popeye?

Abdul Razzaq the sailor man!

 

[hasanb]

Im still fuming at that $#%**% umpire zameer haider...who is this guy?? How did he become an umpire, what the hell is he doing here, even a job as a cholae wala is too good for this useless fool.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Even Waqar finding it hard to understand as to why Umar Akmal has been dropped for today's game!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

97/1 after 17 overs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Im still fuming at that $#%**% umpire zameer haider...who is this guy?? How did he become an umpire, what the hell is he doing here, even a job as a cholae wala is too good for this useless fool.

He's been around for a while now!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

A bit of spin there for Ajmal nicely done

 

[Afridi_Fan]

McCullum 50.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

50 for McCullum

2nd against Pak

16th overall

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good dive by Ajmal

 

[MIG]

I just hope we wont see the Anwar Jinx thread up again....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Guptil steps down and 1 taken

100 up in 17.5 overs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

101 for 1 after 18 overs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

101/1 after 18 overs.

 

[hasanb]

He's been around for a while now!

Ok then i'll buy him the gol gappay stand and usher him towards his new calling...idiot.

Anyway about U Akmal, im shocked about that too but it could be good in one sense since Razzaq is having an absolute shocker with the ball it might be better for shoaib malik to bowl 7 overs rather than razzaq completing his overs.

 

[ringo16]

Im still fuming at that $#%**% umpire zameer haider...who is this guy?? How did he become an umpire, what the hell is he doing here, even a job as a cholae wala is too good for this useless fool.

For the Guptill appeal?! The replay was inconclusive man. Take a deep breath and calm down.

 

[MIG]

Ok seem to be playing Ajmal better than last time but still the spinners seem to be holding their own

Malik HAS to bowl today - possibly the only reason why YK can justify his inclusion

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Thats a long queue outside to get in to the ground!

 

[azfar wali]

The crowd is building up looks like it will be a full house.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yet another poor effort in the field.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

107 for 1 after 19 overs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

107/1 after 19 overs.

 

[MIG]

107/1 in 19 overs - need wickets

 

[Afridi_Fan]

For the Guptill appeal?! The replay was inconclusive man. Take a deep breath and calm down.

Was it really unconclusive, wipe the dirt off your screen.

 

[hasanb]

For the Guptill appeal?! The replay was inconclusive man. Take a deep breath and calm down.

It wasnt inconclusive! The guy knocked the leather of the ball mate...even the commentators said haider clearly missed one.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Massive shot SIX by Guptil
