[Bullet Drive]

Don't know why you wouldn't select Nazir

 

[pakistanalltheway]

"It's funny that to most folks quality cricket equatee to run feasts. If there seems to be at least some sort of balance between the two elements, it's a problem with the quality?! Really?"

so true

 

[pakistanalltheway]

some guy just swore at the camera lol

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Don't know why you wouldn't select Nazir

I was surprised to see him not selected in the final line up too when the match started, but there are others playing in the game to watch.

 

[Zeeraq]

So only Ahmed Shehzad we have left to watch..(batting)

[Bullet Drive]

How long till the chase starts?

 

[Afridirocks]

I think its a 15 minute turnaround after each inning

 

[Executioner]

Don't know why you wouldn't select Nazir

shehzad > Nazir not to mention he has been in intl cricket for some time. He was brilliant in BPL as well.

And probably team management thought that going with 1 foreign batsman is more than enough. Dont know about Travis Birt's role in the team. If the role is as an opener than the decision is questionnable

 

[pakistanalltheway]

i think BPL was probably better

 

[Bullet Drive]

Only 6.75 an over required.. come on Shehzad!

 

[Asif321]

i think BPL was probably better

did bpl had speed guns or not ??

 

[Bullet Drive]

Both have been in BPL for some time and both had brilliant BPL seasons.

Also Travis is an opener. I'd have Nazir over Travis any day, especially considering Australians don't do to well on these types of wickets. Perfect for Nazir.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on, how can you say BPL is better already? The first game hasn't even finished!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Players coming out!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Who's these commentators?

 

[Asif321]

travis birt should have opened with shehzad

 

[Bullet Drive]

Commie saying 'everyone is talking about Shehzad in Australia, he's a very good batsman'

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beautiful bowling by Malinga!

 

[Bullet Drive]

4 dot balls by Malinga already, pace !

Maybe but compared to what SHEHZAD did Nazir wasnt anywhere close. And btw you wanted to mean INTL cricket not BPL, but what I meant was that Shehzad has played in intl cricket RECENTLY.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

2 off the 1st over

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 runs. 2-0 after the first over. Shehzad on strike, apparently everyone is talking about Shehzad in Australia

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Nagas 2-0 after 1

 

[Asif321]

lol shehzad DUCK

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Out
