Pakistan vs New Zealand | Group A | WC' 11 | Pallekele | 8/03/11 | NZ Innings

[Animal]

Pakistan would do well to pull up their socks here in the field. Need to get regular wickets. Remember today NZ bat all the way down. Their no. 11 is Southee, who has a healthy SR and avg.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

we need 2 quick wickets

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So a 300 awaits Pakistan?!

 

[SameerP]

Because of the existence of Kamran Akmal :kami <--- this guy

Ok, showed Kamran Akmal miss a catch, should have taken that one but it's nothing new for him. Pakistan need a new wicket keeper.

 

[grunge]

look at him now appealing!!!!...^^&^*&**(()((&^%%

 

[NiCe]

Is it possible that we can declare Kamran Akmal injured ??? and call any other good keeper... like Sarfraz ... gulraiz sadaf , Adnan Akmal or Salman Ahmed ( all are better keeper then Kamran Akmal)... and i heard Gulraiz Sadaf and Salman Ahmed are good batsman

 

[Munna]

too high and swinging in too towards the leg

 

[SameerM]

the only other good keeper, got scared off by the 'underworld' and has emigrated to the UK!!!

Zulq Haider - im referring to

 

[SAPakFan]

What beats me is that kami won't even appologise. You guys shouldn't swear his family,that's not fair. I think kami wanted to give taylor a bday present

 

[chui_kadoo]

Shoaib's figures have taken a hammering because of Akmal.

 

[praveen]

Just saw the replay,how the hell did he grass that simplest of chances ? Does he have a squash/golf/basketball inside his gloves?

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Gul bowling superbly

 

[Sanchez]

NZ should be like 50/4 now. Kamran LMAO )

 

[Munna]

Is it possible that we can declare Kamran Akmal injured ??? and call any other good keeper... like Sarfraz ... gulraiz sadaf , Adnan Akmal or Salman Ahmed ( all are better keeper then Kamran Akmal)... and i heard Gulraiz Sadaf and Salman Ahmed are good batsman

wat abt ?

 

[Mo.]

did that not hit the bat? inside edge?

 

[hamzamunir]

If a bowler was bowling a beach ball, Kamran still wouldn't be able to catch it.

 

[chui_kadoo]

If Ross tayler makes a match winning 100 that would really get my blood boiling

 

[SIMBA]

ok looking at the positive side ... 69/2 after 16 overs is not too bad !!

69-3 would have been better!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yorker

 

[Khan88]

Gul proving he's our best bowler.

 

[talha3]

When Gul bowls like this..

Gul > Malinga

 

[Sledger]

Kamran is a shameless individual.

 

[Sanchez]

Surely the amount of runs he concedes every match far exceeds the amount of runs he scores. Why don't PAK just replace him with a pure keeper.

 

[taq12345]

Ok, showed Kamran Akmal miss a catch, should have taken that one but it's nothing new for him. Pakistan need a new wicket keeper.

Definitely.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

70/2 in 17.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

well bowled gul.

 

[sazz]

Cricinfo: "Umar Gul to Taylor, no run, Taylor survives again, he is struck high on the pads by a quick delivery from Gul, swerves in to beat the bat, and Kamran fans will be pleased to know Kamran collected that one cleanly "

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shoaib's figures have taken a hammering because of Akmal.

And the free hits and the over throw!

 

[Sledger]

Gul bowling beautifully though.

 

[hamzamunir]

I think Jamie How's wicket cost us this match.

 

[ZAK]

70/2 after 17 overs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Well bowled Gul

 

[qamar84]

gul looking better every matches

 

[James]

Wow, Gul is bowling like a monster. Feel sorry for him.

 

[SIMBA]

NZ should be like 50/4 now. Kamran LMAO )

stop rubbing it in brother- he's a retard.

 

[Sledger]

And the free hits and the over throw!

The overthrows would have been stopped by any half decent keeper.

 

[grunge]

This joker was also responsible for the end of kaneria's career.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bring on Afridi.

 

[badmash_251]

I think Jamie How's wicket cost us this match.

lmao, good one

 

[SameerM]

someone in the crowd had a banner saying "Happy Birthday ROSE Taylor"

Reminded me of Ramiz Rajah and his funky pronounciations!

 

[Munna]

afridi should bring in himself .. n get a wicket .. before bringing razzaq for his overs otherwise they'll get away with the dropped chances

 

[sah83]

Kamran Akmal is great at what he does... which is fix matches!!!
It takes real skills to miss such an easy catch and make it look like a mistake.

I don't know how he managed to wiggle out of trouble during the spot fixing scandal....

 

[Sledger]

Another edge, doesn't carry now. This time Kamran gets it in the gloves.

 

[hamzamunir]

its killing me right now watching his face...can't help myself but to pull my hair out looking at him.

 

[JilaWatan]

y is akhter finishing his overs?

 

[taq12345]

Looks like Akhtar has lost heart to bowl

 

[Strike!]

Why are we persisting with akhtar, He looks tired and inefficient now.

 

[Sledger]

Shoaib still bowling well, what a lionheart.

 

[NiCe]

i think so it should be Kamran akmal last match ever.... we dont want him in next ODIs. we can play an extra bowler.. and am sure Asad or Umar will do alot better then Kamran Akmal.. and even may be Ahmed Shahzad will be goood choice for this

 

[qamar84]

excuse me but this is the 8 OVERS FOR SHOAIB who will bowl for the last over in the innings

 

[SIMBA]

Ok let's forget about akmals drops now

Rant over.

 

[hamzamunir]

Afridi telling Akhtar "Jaan lagani pare gi warna koi faaidah nahi"...trying to motivate him again.

 

[SAPakFan]

If Ross tayler makes a match winning 100 that would really get my blood boiling

Insha'allah he won't

 

[jasimisbest2]

Come on guys stop ebign harsh on Kamran...

He missed the throw from Shoaib earlier and was apologetic...

but when he saw this edge coming towards him he got to excited and started to celebrate even before he caught the bowl....

Lets hope he doesnt repeat again.... a geniune misjudge!

 

[Munna]

this is frikkin amazing .... shoaib is bowling his 8th over... n this is the 18th over of the match!!!
n people are questioning his recent fitness!

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

love u gullyyyyyy

 

[chui_kadoo]

And the free hits and the over throw!

Akmals drops cost 10 runs plus 2 wickets to Shoaib

 

[Bullet Drive]

We have to get the ball reversing. We have to keep them under 250. We can't chase.

 

[Sledger]

Off the edge, goes down for one. Taylor on strike for the last ball of the over.

 

[grunge]

why is akhtar finishing his overs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

72/2 in 18.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Another mistimer from Rose.

 

[Sledger]

Great over.

 

[SameerM]

wot game u lot watching??

either he's bowling well or he aint!
he seems to be getting the batsmen to play some shots and edge em out

 

[saajidrox]

I m not going to watch this match .ban Kamran I feel for akthar he is sin .when Kamran is battig he will make a run out an get out with a crap shot . In your Kamran

 

[sah83]

what is afridi thinking having akhtar bowl all his overs... when is he planning on using razzaq now? razzaq bowled so economically in the first 3 matches bowling the new ball, and now he will have to come in the middle and risk getting hit around....
afridi is gonna have to pick up 5 himself again.

 

[coy0607]

these idiots need to stop talking about ross taylor

 

[talha3]

Anyone else think for a second there that Akhtar bowled another no ball? Phew

 

[pakistan_pride1]

shebby bhai missed out on the yorker

 

[Sledger]

Still bowling at 89mph.

 

[ZAK]

72/2 after 18 overs.

 

[SameerM]

guptill stuck in his 40's still!

forget Kamran....Cricket is a TEAM Game... we aint played our trump card yet! SPIN

 

[hamzamunir]

Afridi's body language has been down all day ... Thanks to :kami

 

[Shayan]

Truth is, New Zealand are 72/2 after 18 overs so they haven't got away, and we still have Afridi to bowl so we're doing alright.

As for Kamran, he needs to be dropped for the next 2 games.

 

[acer]

Pls pakpassion arrange talent hunt for a gud wk batsman.this guy is fixer

 

[Munna]

afridi is warming up .. might bring himself in

 

[talha3]

Actually it could be a blessing in disguise with Taylor still in. Not looking good. Let's hope he plays like How.

 

[Sledger]

That was fast!

 

[SameerM]

AFridi warrrrrming uppppp get ready for some fresh New Zealand Lamb !!!

 

[Sledger]

92mph!
