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

[srh]

Butt got his 50. Congratulations.

 

[SAM'S]

After one of these gets out, we need one of the power hitters to come up the order.

no we have another snail to follow

 

[sagar]

I think they are probably trying see Vettori's overs off with out losing any wicket.

 

[SulmanPK]

Two different sets of players. There is no such ONLY method is chasing big totals. All depends on the what type of players are playing and where. Aussies are good at their way. Pak is good at their ways as well. As long as the end goal is met the method is not that important.

I didnt know until now that pakis are good at chasing big totals.

 

[Cover Drive]

Key is rotating the strike, which the current pair are struggling to do.

Tell Butt to get out and MoYo will do it

 

[BD-fan]

After one of these gets out, we need one of the power hitters to come up the order.

That would be a great startegy.

 

[SAM'S]

butt gets 50, now we have to see him for another 10 ODIs at least (God have mercy on us)

 

[coy0607]

i wonder how many unanswered innings butt gets for this fifty

 

[sagar]

Now lets what Butt can do after he has his fifty. Should be relieved now. Should be more assertive now.

 

[Khabri420]

Congrats Butt-aahh

 

[Cover Drive]

RRR is now 7.6

 

[amar1212]

he deserved this one considering the fact that he's been just horrible lately..getting out at 0 several times and all that....now i hope he plays aggressively and get us out of trouble..

 

[cricket_fever]

50 for Salman Butt

His maiden ODI 50 against NZ

wow! from 0 in the first odi to mashallah 50 in the second...applaudable...i wish i could eat all the things i said about battah earlier but i guess i cant!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Well Played Butt Saahib.. Well Played !!

 

[midaz]

run rate climbing

 

[cricket_fever]

RRR is now 7.6

yeah its becommig worrying now!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Butt is going to have a go now with him getting his 50 out of the way!

 

[SulmanPK]

They are scoring at 4 runs per over. Maybe they are looking to score 10 per over in powerplays.

 

[siddharth]

Finally the most cursed player in PP got a half century

 

[Khabri420]

Afridi getting ready

 

[sagar]

At least one boundry in an over is a must now.

 

[Cover Drive]

Afridi is getting ready. He is padding up

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Hmmmmm come on YK

 

[Cover Drive]

Younus Khan 16 runs off 30 balls

 

[SAM'S]

Wajahet: "that missed lbw of Younis Khan off vettori by Umpire can prove costly for Pakistan as he can stay there and keep eating deliveries." @ Cricinfo Ditto!

 

[WNC]

A guy on cricinfo says that wrong decision in favour of Younis could prove costly for Pakistan as he'll eat up deliveries...

 

[sagar]

Both of these batsmen are useless.

 

[SulmanPK]

Now lets what Butt can do after he has his fifty. Should be relieved now. Should be more assertive now.

If he can score some quick runs of vettori. It'd be great. And its easy for him being left hander

 

[Cover Drive]

Butt should start smashing since he got his 50

 

[Cover Drive]

In last 10 overs Pakistan scored 42 runs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

didnt those 2 have like a mini argument during the first odi, regarding the age of mohammad aamer and other pakistani cricketers.....ramiz raja at some point said why cant you people believe us

I dont know about this one as I just watched the highlights of the 1st ODI!

 

[Khabri420]

30 balls are enough to settle down. Now is the time to accelerate

 

[amar1212]

i wanna c afridi not yunis!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Poison]

We're still good lads, take it easy.

 

[sagar]

If he can score some quick runs of vettori. It'd be great. And its easy for him being left hander

It's one thing to say it's easy but another to actually do it. Seems unlikely for Butt.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Raja comparing YK to Dravid

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Required RR goes to 7.8 now

 

[Khabri420]

We're still good lads, take it easy.

Exactly what is saying except he's using up all the deliveries

 

[sehban]

match slipping away here

 

[SAM'S]

i wanna c afridi not yunis!!!!!!!!!!

wish granted

[Cover Drive]

30 balls are enough to settle down. Now is the time to accelerate

Younus Khan's car is on cruise which is set on 50 (in other words at 50SR)

 

[GLORY OF '92]

YK holding the bat too loose. Not making a solid connection.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another ball inspection going on in the middle by the umpires

 

[adarsh_bang]

Finally the most cursed player in PP got a half century

you sure you not confusing him with malik sid???

 

[iHammad]

I don't wanna critisize captain. But what the hell, is he doing?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Has it been changed once again? Anyone?

 

[SulmanPK]

It's one thing to say it's easy but another to actually do it. Seems unlikely for Butt.

Actually he is the only spinner and butt cant hit fast bowlers well. So what else could i hope for.

 

[Cover Drive]

MoYo should not come in next

 

[Deewana Mastana]

YK goes for a big one swept away and it fetches him 3 runs!

Something atleast!

 

[ahmed16]

i wish vettori has got Younus Khans wicket now, the batting captain is taking this match out of Pakistans grasp.

 

[Cover Drive]

I don't wanna critisize captain. But what the hell, is he doing?

What are you doing in your lunch time?

Just kidding mann

 

[Khabri420]

YK has no power in his shots

 

[SulmanPK]

I still believe We can do it, if run rate is kept under 8 bcz Kiwis are not good bowling at depth.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

46 run partnership off 66 balls

 

[amar1212]

y cant we field like the kiwis?

 

[Poison]

knows what to do

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Why is everyone picking on Butt ? The guy has played a very decent innings so far and lets hope, he can do well from here on as well.

 

[iHammad]

3 runs!

 

[siddharth]

you sure you not confusing him with malik sid???

Well certain things are guaranteed with the captaincy .Since Malik is no more a captain,things have changed.

 

[Khabri420]

knows what to do

aka Tuk Tuk

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Required RR now 7.81

 

[Cover Drive]

YK has no power in his shots

I am fearing that he is fake Pathan

 

[ahmed16]

you sure you not confusing him with malik sid???

People hate Butt more than Malik

1.Faisal Iqbal
2.Salman Butt
3.Shoaib Malik
4.Misbah Ul Huq.
5. Rao

 

[Deewana Mastana]

123-1 after 27 overs

 

[dirk diggler]

YK seems hellbent on scoring 30 or 40 runs no matter how long it takes , even if it means we lose the game

 

[Cover Drive]

There you go Imran Farhat a black and white baaloo

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Styris coming on now to have a go!

Waqar Younis and Danny Morrison back in the commentary box!

 

[Raz]

Younis really does look badly out of form out there.

 

[coy0607]

this is it........take styris apart

 

[iHammad]

wth!
3 dot ball by YK.

I am getting angry now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pulled away by Butt for a single

 

[*sallu*]

Just hope YK silences all critics while playing a perfectly timed match winning innings

 

[Indiafan]

One PP still left. Pak should have it easy from here on

 

[sagar]

YK seems hellbent on scoring 30 or 40 runs no matter how long it takes , even if it means we lose the game

Hey, he has to show that he can score to justify his captaincy.

 

[*sallu*]

And I jinx him

 

[Deewana Mastana]

YK gone

19 off 37 balls for YK!

 

[dirk diggler]

thank god he caught that

 

[Khabri420]

End of the misery.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good catch that we all wanted to be taken and is!

Taylor grasps it!

 

[SulmanPK]

YK seems hellbent on scoring 30 or 40 runs no matter how long it takes , even if it means we lose the game

Dont know whats wrong with us. Either we play too fast and loose too many wickets or we play like that run rate increases too fast.
