[GLORY OF '92]

Need wkts or they could get 330

 

[Afridi_Fan]

McCullum going bonkers here.

 

[abc_to_xyz]

Ameer has really got foundation on his face..

 

[Da Best]

I missed most of the game, so what seems to be an easy score to chase guys?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

250 up.

When we're chasing buddy, nothing is easy.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

253/6 after 44 overs.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

It's gonna be a tough chase. NZ will be favs.

anything below 300 would be chaseable if But is dropped down the order..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good fielding

 

[Da Best]

Nah I'm not expecting Butt to be brought down the order now. Maybe he'll open with Kamran and Latif might be going at number 3. That seems more plausible than Butt coming down the order.

 

[Seen Sheen]

2 overs of BP remaining..259-6 after 45

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Good over.

spot on!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good start.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another dot :aamir

 

[Afridi_Fan]

A single on the third.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6 by McCullum

Good shot

 

[Poison]

Butt will score big today.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Yaaaar..

 

[Inswinger]

Amazing shot for

 

[Amir]

anything below 300 would be chaseable if But is dropped down the order..

How far? I was thinking number 10 or 11...like when we need a tail ender to support a lower order batsmen if it gets tight,

 

[Deewana Mastana]

2 runs by McCullum

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

NOOOO 6 frm McCullum issed:

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50 Partnership.

AZ wrote on cricinfo:

AZ: "Salman Butt has been given more chances than any other opener. He does not seem to improve his technique and keeps on getting out the same way-caught behind-the folks at Cricinfo can probably run some numbers. On top of that he is the worst fielder in the history of Pak cricket dropping on average 1 catch per match, he should be discarded immediately."

AZ means Ahmad Zulfiqar? The no. 1 fan of Salman butt also gave up on Salman Butt?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

No-ball and a 4

 

[Afridi_Fan]

No ball on height,

 

[Seen Sheen]

Butt will score big today.

50 off 120 balls

 

[Afridi_Fan]

273/6 after 46 overs.

 

[Poison]

Feel bad for Aamer, you can tell he himself is hurt when he gives away runs. Head up kid :aamir

 

[Da Best]

Aamer should really rest in the next game regardless if we win this one or not.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

50 off 120 balls

Thats what Latif should be aiming for today!

 

[Poison]

50 off 120 balls

No actually I think he'll play anchor and score about 130* in our chase of 297.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

:Gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

McCullum gone

Gul takes the wicket

 

[Afridi_Fan]

McCullum Gone, Inside edge

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Out!!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

McCUL. gone.but the damage has been..well played though..

 

[Poison]

Great knock by McCullum, if we can restrict them or bowl them out for under 300, we'll be in for a ripper of a game tonight

 

[JeeraBlade]

Brilliant innings by McCullum!!

 

[tauseefm]

Is gul's bowlig just getting worse..or is BB's batting just getting better?

his bowling isn't worse, its the fact we are not giving credit to the batsman. McCullum was on the pitch from the very first ball. Gul came back to bowling after first spell and he faced a well set batsman on top of that it was power play...

 

[cricket_fever]

great thing for gul...but the damage has been done!

 

[Muhammad]

Thank god for that, could make a difference of 15-20 runs, though don't underestimate Mills who can hit big, not to mention Oram who hasn't played any big shots yet, but has been in a while.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mills off the mark

 

[abc_to_xyz]

that makeup guy is tired now... plz save him...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Highest Individual score by a Kiwi against Pak is McCullum's 131 today!

Well played!

 

[Da Best]

Actually this might help us in a lot of ways by even getting McCullum out on this stage.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good death bowling by

 

[Afridi_Fan]

277/7 in 47 overs.

 

[sehban]

[amar1212]

wow is this the powerplay lol where are the 4's and the 6's?? good bowling by aamer and gul

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Good bowling by Gul there.

 

[Poison]

Ajmal is our new Saqlain.

 

[amar1212]

looks like the target will be around 305

 

[Afridi_Fan]

287/7 after 48 overs.

 

[shahzadddd]

Great over there by Gul.

So Ajmal is gonna bowl the last over? If anyone can get it done , I-Done.

 

[taaveez]

Kami's slow as usual behind the wicket.

 

[Inswinger]

of the last ball makes it 10 off the over.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Gone.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Gul strikes

Mills gone

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Lateef takes the catch, Mills gone.

 

[Inswinger]

Mills walks back.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Out!!!
Gul Strikes

 

[Inswinger]

Anything under 300 would be a boost for us. 300 could give them the mental edge.

 

[abc_to_xyz]

i want 300+ score... it will be an interesting match then..

 

[Da Best]

Gul is one wicket away from 100 ODI wickets.

 

[amar1212]

are Khalid latif and Rashid Latif related to eacherother?

 

[Inswinger]

Really goes spell for Gul. Spot on with his length today.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Butttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bond gets a 4 off the 1st ball he faces

 

[Poison]

Lol at Butt in the field )

 

[Inswinger]

How slow is Salman Butt??

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Full toss and 2 runs for Oram

295 for 8 after 49 overs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

295/8.

last over coming up.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So who wants to predict the final score of NZ?

 

[azfar wali]

[Afridi_Fan]
