Pakistan vs New Zealand | T20 WC - Semi Final 1 | Cape Town | 22/9/07 | Pak Inns

[dirk diggler]

run a ball here on in req'd, no heroics necessary

 

[The Chaudrey]

Malik showing the rest how to take singles and doubles. 102/2 off 13 overs

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Imran's 50 was Pakistan's 6th in this tournament ... and amazingly, just one out of these went past 59 (Misbah's 66 not out).

Meaning that well-established batsmen are getting out. Certainly not a good thing to see.

 

[Oxy]

Sensible batting from Malik & YK.

No fireworks required now - Nazir & Hafo did their job.

The final finishing required - unspectacular 1s / 2s will take us home.

We dont need t see Afridi...

 

[The Chaudrey]

103 off 13.1 overs, Malik on strike

 

[12thMan]

Pak 102-2 - need 42 from 42 balls

 

[The Chaudrey]

104/2 off 13.2ov

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Did Shoaib Malik come out from the Pavilion, or just stopped running for Imran and started running for himself???

 

[iZeeshan]

They're just gonna draw this out.

 

[dirk diggler]

YK gone, needless shot

 

[Oxy]

run a ball here on in req'd, no heroics necessary

YOu would think so - many here want Afridi!

Any way - YK out - so we probably will see him!

 

[Mike Bassett]

younis caught behind from vettori

 

[Saj]

YK's innings was a struggle out there. Caught behind

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

myk gone

awful innings for t20

 

[The Chaudrey]

Younis gone. 104/3 off 13.3 overs. Only scored 4 off 15 balls, that is just disgraceful batting at this level. He is a better batsman than that....

 

[iZeeshan]

Inside edge gone. Younis didn't look easy today.

Please send Fawad in.

 

[OU812]

YK gone LBW

 

[Uzzy]

Ok only 40 runs to go. Dont choke now.

 

[Oxy]

Afridite MAn is in...

 

[Saj]

[Mike Bassett]

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

afridi aint gonna knock it for singles

 

[champion_pak]

Yahoo Afridi

 

[mamoo gogo]

Younis Khan finally goes....yippee!

 

[Oxy]

OUCH!!! Own player KO's

JESUS! That could be serious

 

[Saj]

Afridi takes 2 and a NZ fielder nearly decapitates one of his colleagues

 

[immubhai]

YK reminded me so much of Butt. Anyway, i would rather ask Fawad Alam to come to bat! instead of Afridi

 

[12thMan]

Pakistan in trouble. Why did nazir have to get out!!! demoted to VC
required RR has gone over 6

 

[iZeeshan]

Oooooooo Afridi in!

"Anywhere for six"!

 

[dirk diggler]

vincent is down, hit on the head by patel

 

[W63L35]

lalla in now

...now is the time to shine!!! Go Afridi!!

 

[The Chaudrey]

Vincent hit on the head. 106/3 off 13.4 overs

 

[OU812]

sorry i must be watching another game

 

[mamoo gogo]

Vincent hit on the head by Patel.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

patel kills his team mate

great fielding son

 

[iZeeshan]

Pakistan in trouble. Why did nazir have to get out!!! demoted to VC
required RR has gone over 6

Its a good thing you are a senior poster...

 

[champion_pak]

Go Pakistan

 

[12thMan]

Fielder wasn't even looking at the ball. good he is okay

 

[khilari]

wat a stupid fielder....

 

[The Chaudrey]

106/3 off 14 overs.

 

[Saj]

Vettori has been one of, if not the outstanding bowlers in this tournment

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

And in comes Afridi!!

 

[iZeeshan]

OMFG That must have hurt! The kids got some balls!

 

[The Chaudrey]

Pakistan should avoid taking this game to last over.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

After long analysis including this innings of YK against NZ I claim that Younis Khan is always a less talented cricketer and will always remain less talented no matter how much he works on his batting, If only we worked those 7 years to some talented batsman.

yep thats me alright

 

[Saj]

38 needed from 6 overs

 

[dirk diggler]

full toss malik takes 1

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

lalla vs bond now

 

[Saj]

Bond back on. Malik strokes a single through covers

Bond to Afridi now

 

[Oxy]

37 off 35

 

[Saj]

Afridi hits him through extra cover for 4

 

[Oxy]

Afridi gets a 4!

111-3

33 to win

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

4 for afridi

 

[dirk diggler]

excellent checked drive from afridi

 

[Oxy]

Afridi Out!

****

 

[dirk diggler]

and then falls into the trap

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

afridi gone

 

[Saj]

and out. Caught at mid off.

Think it was the slower ball

 

[Uzzy]

Afridi out...Dont tell me they're going to choke.

 

[The Chaudrey]

Afridi gone - 111/4 off 14.3 ov

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Younis's scores in this tourney;

Scotland ... 41
India ... 2
Sri Lanka ... 51
Australia ... 4
Bangla Desh ... 1
New Zealand ... 4

Total runs: 103 ... strike rate: 109.6 (the lowest in the team)

Certainly not a picture of consistency. I'd rather have a batsman who can score ~30 runs each time he goes in to bat.

 

[swaziboy]

DAYYYYYYYYYMmmm AFRIdI

that was a nothing shot
v disappointing...nelson strikes

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

111- 4 cmon afridi

 

[iZeeshan]

Afridi off with a normal timed cover drive.

 

[The Chaudrey]

Now 31 off 33 balls needed.

 

[Saj]

33 needed off 33 balls....surely not

 

[The Chaudrey]

sorry 33 off 33 balls needed

 

[iZeeshan]

O man. Afridi goes. Oh well.

Bring on Unibrow!

 

[Oxy]

Minzbi required now

 

[dirk diggler]

33 from 33 6 wkts in hand,no panic

 

[The Chaudrey]

111/4 off 14.4 overs

 

[12thMan]

Hafeez saying Butt was not feeling well so that is why he opened

 

[Oxy]

Misbah in to see us home without any more drama

 

[Daoud]

Cool heads needed. Cant lose it from here...

 

[W63L35]

This is why....Afridi did not open vs Bond and Vettorie knew that!!!

 

[champion_pak]

Shahid Afridi Out
