Pakistan vs Zimbabwe | Match 23 | Pool B |1st March 2015 | Brisbane | Zimbabwe Innings

[Itachi]

whahab bowling fast.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

One wicket and we are in it.

Who will provide it?

 

[iafzal]

should get Lala in soon

 

[JibranAnsari]

shabash jawano...wickets please.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

5fer khan ! Hah

 

[Itachi]

need wickets bro no way u gonna win shutting the flow of runs or containing them...

wicket will fall sooner or later. RRR is creeping up.

 

[Cricket-passion]

After 20th over lala should come on, but, key is to keep pressure till then and Zimbabwe will fancy chances against lala and that can be trick to undo them

 

[Professor]

Need to get the required run rate up to 6, that should put pressure on the batsman.

 

[uberkoen]

I do what I want.

Most of it seems to be whinging and complaining.

To each their own though.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Afridi should come in now.

 

[Itachi]

One wicket and we are in it.

Who will provide it?

my bet.... afridi.

 

[Strike Rate]

One side i am sad because of consistent batting failure but on the other side i am happy bowling looks much improved if we can win this match defending small total and continue bowling like this its going to be fun in next matches. We had a habit of defending 220s and 230s till we had Ajmal and Hafeez/Junaid lets see if this changed bowling can come close to it.

 

[JibranAnsari]

It better be an afridis day with the ball.. there is no other hope.

 

[uberkoen]

Wickets will come as the RRR continues creeping up.

This one is in the bag.

 

[Barragan]

LOL

We were 45-2 after 18 overs. )

 

[desi_launda]

everyone thinks will take wickets...let's see

 

[uberkoen]

It better be an afridis day with the ball.. there is no other hope.

Nah. This one is won. Honestly, we're in a good position here and Zimbabwe will panic soon. Watch them crumble.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Most of it seems to be whinging and complaining.

To each their own though.

Yah please sing happy songs here.

 

[Big Mac]

Great shot

 

[TNA]

Misbah it's time to unleash The Destroyer

 

[Strike Rate]

why do people keep saying NRR doens't matter just win.... as if the players/captain is doing something to Win With big NRR advantage and instead if he did something different we could easily have the option to WIN by lets say 10 runs guarenteed. so change the plan and go for that so called low margin win.

you realize how hard even winning is right now?? what makes you think they are trying to Win with High NRR advantage vs a simple win???

my post was for some above my post he need mention that we need to win by margin for NRR so my reply was for him.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Afrdi Is The Suprise !

 

[Itachi]

good shot.

 

[jusarrived]

Zim actually batting pretty smartly . They are chasing only 235 , they dont have to worry about rr.


Pak needs wickets

 

[JibranAnsari]

and

No pressure at all.

 

[iafzal]

Are these umpires paid?
Last ball from Riaz was a wide for height and being on leg but not called.

That's the thing. The bowling is keeping the pressure up even in this relatively low scoring game. Imagine what they can do if we manage to score a decent total.

Going forward though with Nasir out of the team and our specialist keeper in things will start looking better for us.

QF's here we come!

 

[Pakistani Pace]

I haven't seen Team man YK In Dressing Room Were is he

 

[Justcrazy]

good hit

 

[TNA]

misbah put them to deep sleep

they havnt recovered yet

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dr Bassim has already cursed afridi.

 

[Big Mac]

Rahat needs to relax instead of trying to bowl a magic delivery

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[mon858]

people thinking RRR of 6 will help win it. nope. with wickets in hand even 8 an over won't win it in this day and age with batting rules, batting PP and Zimbo strikers at the end. The way i see winning is consistent wickets. have to have 6 wickets down with 8 an over needed in last 10.

if its 3-4 wickets down with 8 an over in last 10, it will be 60-40 Zim. just being realistic.

 

[hur rizvi]

Getting predictable, time for Afridi

 

[jusarrived]

Nah. This one is won. Honestly, we're in a good position here and Zimbabwe will panic soon. Watch them crumble.

They may crumble , but Pak are not in a good position . this is zims match to lose

 

[wasimjunior]

Most of it seems to be whinging and complaining.

To each their own though.

And praising our bowlers.

If you think the batters deserve praise then good for you

 

[Shafi]

YK's sit out is just a eye-wash by Waqar. He will replace hack Jamshed in next match

 

[SamNJ]

Wahab come on. Where are you bowling. Poor poor line.

 

[uberkoen]

Masakadza will only score another 10-12 runs and then he's off.

 

[Barragan]

Yasir Shah such a great fielder.

Hope he plays all the games from here on in.

 

[#GreenRoars]

introduce spin, please

 

[ViciousMachine]

Everybody agrees you need wickets....

 

[waleed88]

Rahat is bowling well.. Bowling full

 

[sada90]

bowling change please

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Sooooooo

Sethi yesterday said qaum etemaad rakhe this match is in our pocket must be some deal lol

 

[TNA]

YK's sit out is just a eye-wash by Waqar. He will replace hack Jamshed in next match

that will be like 2 step back , 3 steps backward

 

[uberkoen]

Everybody agrees you need wickets....

They will come. No need to panic.

As I said Masakadza will score another 10-12 runs and he'll be gone.

 

[Mr Consistent]

what a shot four runs

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Poor stuff

 

[Strike Rate]

Good shot

 

[uberkoen]

that will be like 2 step back , 3 steps backward

How is dropping Younis taking 2 steps back?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

by taylor cheeky shot

Wahab is predictable, bowl a yorker

 

[#GreenRoars]

Afridi should come in now.

misbah is no mood

 

[shah_1]

Why isn't Afridi bowling?

 

[TNA]

Yasir Shah such a great fielder.

Hope he plays all the games from here on in.

what? who did Yasir replace?

must be

 

[shah_1]

Pakistani batsmen should learn from these two.

Not just TUK TUK

 

[uberkoen]

Why isn't Afridi bowling?

oh bhai have patience. He'll come on soon.

 

[imshally81]

Afridi Should bowl now

 

[Haripotter]

everyone thinks will take wickets...let's see

is a renowed minnow n india basher... So expectations are high

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Lala warming up

what a shot by, class by Taylor

 

[uberkoen]

haha. What was that shot?

 

[shah_1]

Wahab is predictable

 

[Mr Consistent]

50 partnership

 

[JibranAnsari]

wahab continues to leak runs.

 

[shah_1]

Zimbabwe are 20 runs ahead

 

[uberkoen]

Wahab deserves praise for his batting today but his bowling has been pretty bad.

 

[Mr Consistent]

72-2
20 overs

 

[JibranAnsari]

So we cant stop runs and cant get wickets.

 

[shah_1]

Should have played Yasir Shah instead of Sohail.

 

[TNA]

How is dropping Younis taking 2 steps back?

dropped younis but not jamshed (2 steps back)

now calling back younis in place of jamshed (3 steps backward)

 

[Big Mac]

OK, we need a change in bowling now.

 

[sada90]

poor captaincy ... no bowling change when its needed

 

[Barragan]

what? who did Yasir replace?

must be

Don't know, but most likely him.

 

[nads_rocks]

Afridi better get some wickets after his disastrous world cup he owes the team something in his final outings in the green shirt.

 

[JibranAnsari]

only 164 more needed.

 

[Big Mac]

OK, perfect time for Afridi to get to 400 wickets

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Afridi

 

[sada90]

bowling change too late.. may be..
we let partnership build
