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

[zainkhan]

every one in dressing room is getting same treatment batsmen did not bat and bowlers gone for massive hits. Except K.Akmal who should get a slap from Akhtar

 

[nads_rocks]

Think they should just take the powerplay now...

 

[chui_kadoo]

Razzaq needs to get his eye in now and take his time.

 

[msmkt]

My friend the mature innings is to fix ur spot...in the side...for next series

 

[ZAK]

1 to Razzaq.

 

[ads101]

This is one of the worst performances ever by Pak allround in a world cup. Poor batting, poor fielding, poor bowling

Captaincy wasn't great either. While it's not the reason we lost the game, Rehman should have only bowled middle overs not at death. If Afridi wanted a spinner to bowl at death, he should have done it himself.

Gul shouldn't have been used up by the 46th over. Being the best bowler on the day.

And Akhtar still should have probably bowled instead of Razzaq. Akhtar may have been crap, but he's still a proper bowler. But never razzaq. I remember England were in the same position with Anderson. In the last over they persisted to bowl with Anderson, who finished with a good last over.

Usually Afridi's bowling changes are quite good. But today he was poor.

 

[Sledger]

Pulled for one.

 

[Britstani]

100 would be an achievment today for pak.....big time Besati man

 

[cricketfan2010]

Cant wait to see Afridi's post match interview and Waqar's comments after the game

I hope he doesn't talk like he bats I mean does he engage his brain before he opens his mouth?

Yes it would be interesting to hear Waqar's views... He is articulate.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

mark it pakistan would stil win this match

 

[Dragon]

terrible batting

 

[acer]

Kami seccure his place next match coz why team drop as,hafiz,kamran,akthar,razk.only 4 reserve available.

 

[ZAK]

1 to Umar.

 

[Sledger]

Don't worry guys, the worms are touching!

 

[ZAK]

73/6.

 

[Inzy's Aloo]

Will Akhtar be dropped?

 

[Strike!]

Cmon guys at least get to triple figures.

 

[cricketfan2010]

but afridi is a better bowler.

Yes.. on current form he may be.. But does he justify his position with bowling alone in this brittle batting line up..

 

[oracleg]

Cant ****ing concentrate on the midterm review which is today because of that [EDIT]. He may also cost me my exam issed:

Can't you "Kamran Akmal" the course?

 

[acer]

mark it pakistan would stil win this match

i bet u.if pak win this i shave my head

 

[JellyBro]

a century from Razzaq and Umar and we'll be back into the game

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Pakistan will have this bad taste in their mouth for about a week until their next one.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Moody is like what the heck happened to KAmRAN!

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Mr. Einstein has just departed.. But what the heck. He his 1 six.. Thats all that matters to some..

He WON you three matches in a row! He is not the only player in the team! Where are the remaining 10 players????

You sound like such a douche!

 

[IAJ]

And Vettori isn't even on the field!

 

[ZAK]

He is a poor poor keeper Moody. :kami

 

[Sledger]

Kamran lol.

 

[zainkhan]

Guys idea about playing A.Razzaq down the order can be tested today.As he has plenty of balls to play.

 

[Dragon]

mark it pakistan would stil win this match

no way

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He's not getting any younger Ramiz Raja!

 

[Shayan]

Can't you "Kamran Akmal" the course?

Hahaha

 

[msmkt]

dream on buddy ..yeah we will win ...but not this time

 

[farz88]

Well one thing that happened was NZ took the bowling powerplay early and got afridi to finish Guls overs. Good thinking my NZ and bad by Afridi.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3 runs for Umar

 

[Digital]

These commentators are getting on my nerves !
On twitter :VaughanCricket: Pakistan are very hot and cold.. Although today they have been freezing so far.. Who knows how they are going to show up?

 

[cricketpassion]

mark it pakistan would stil win this match

Leave it yaar . its not our day today everything is gone NZ way .But its a good wake up call

 

[Sledger]

Very good shot there by Umar, played it nice and late.

 

[WNC]

Kamran Akmal has technical, mental and physical issues Ramiz, don't waste your breathe on that piece of used toilet paper.

 

[ZAK]

3 to Umar.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They need someone from outside in the fielding unit -

 

[msmkt]

i cant wait for ex cricketers and media to bash our heroes..wohooo

 

[ZAK]

76/6.

 

[akamaka]

kamran akmal is beyond help, dont these commies realise that. issed:

 

[zainkhan]

was that unsuccessful direct hit from the boundary ???

 

[Sledger]

76/6 in 20 overs.

 

[No_Username]

Stay positive people, century from these two and we can be back into this game with Rehman also being able to bat and Gul and Akhtar can smack the ball. Stay positive , enjoy all the runs that we are currently getting.

 

[oracleg]

Got to hand it K. Akmal...no other player in the history of sport can devastatingly demoralize a team to such an extent.

We've gone from almost getting NZ out for under 200 to losing by almost 200

 

[UP]

Can't you "Kamran Akmal" the course?

Too late because the match is finished (course is done in two weeks)

 

[tallashk]

There is a big competition between akmal and hafeez and it was so difficult to decide who will be the player of tournament but we gave it to akmal by doing a lucky draw..

 

[ZAK]

Single to Jr.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

May aswell take the PP and do that Umar

 

[zainkhan]

these guys hitting the stumps from every where?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rare misfield by Kiwis!

 

[IAJ]

Franklin thinks he is Shane Bond and walking back slowly to his run up just like him. Joker!

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

at this rate we are bound to finish 4th in Group A if that we can beat Zimbabwe

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan has issues!

 

[ads101]

This game might be lost, but I'm starting to get impressed by umar in this tournament. Maybe his batting isn't up to scratch, but he's really starting to hold his nerve under pressure.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

so for # 1 in the group to # 4 in the group in a matter of a match

 

[akamaka]

misfield by new zealand. )))
something went pakistans way. )

 

[ZAK]

Just found this gem on cricinfo;

"If his batting was as good as Don Bradman's, he couldn't score enough runs to make up for what he costs them with his keeping"

Ian Chappell's pithy description of Kamran Akmal's glovework.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

talking highly off Rashid Latif

 

[chui_kadoo]

Lazy running by Razzaq

 

[pakcricketfan]

Okay, guys. We know how everyone is feeling at the moment but please try to control your emotions and refrain from abusive remarks and don't swear! Thanks. :kami

 

[ScotRaz]

these guys hitting the stumps from every where?

I'm sure during one of Rosco's six's the NZ fan throw the ball back from the crowd and it hit the stumps also!

 

[ZAK]

Single to Umar.

 

[Sledger]

79/6.

 

[chui_kadoo]

79-6 after 21

 

[Deewana Mastana]

so for # 1 in the group to # 4 in the group in a matter of a match

Pakistan can't afford to see themselves on top for too long!

Something starts itching...

 

[ZAK]

79/6.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

so for # 1 in the group to # 4 in the group in a matter of a match

No.

[Deewana Mastana]

Razzaq running between the wickets )

Why is Kamran still n the team ?? Has he got any political influence?

 

[Express Pace]

Umar picking the wrong fight.

 

[ZAK]

2 to Umar.
