Taylor is an absolute class act. Pakistan must be wary of him.

 

[Schickelgruber]

this is NOT OUT!

Taylor is an absolute class act. Pakistan must be wary of him.

True this.

 

[insaftak]

Taylor needs to calm down for 10-15 overs now.

 

[Blitz]

Taylor is the key now... 76-0

Not really.

A loss here for SL means, they have 1 more game, vs NZ, and 1 less point then us. Its certain if they lose this game, they are most likely out.

 

[Inswinger]

Taylor needs to calm down for 10-15 overs now.

Why fix it if ain't broke? Gotta get as many runs before the spinners are on.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Zimbos 85/0 after 14 overs

 

[Inswinger]

Not really.

A loss here for SL means, they have1 more game, vs NZ, and 1 less point then us. Its certain if they lose this game, they are most likely out.

It's a matter of one wicket. They get one of the openers and the Zimbabweans will fold.

 

[Faizan Lakhani]

Circ, Pakistan will under some pressure but a win against Zim on 14th will ensure their berth in semi final with 8 points, but GOD FORBID, if any upset in Pak vs Zim would jeopardise the group positions

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hmmm... not really. Zim have always struggled against Zim but we always smash them around. Remember WC 07? Nazir made a blazing 150

Zim Playing zim? )

 

[Blitz]

 

[insaftak]

There isn't much batting after taylor and Taibu. Their goal should be to play out 50 overs.

 

[saeed-sohail]

All you guys hoping for a zim win think back to 07 WC.Ireland and Zim were playing and everyone was hoping for an Irish win.It was a thriller which ended in a tie.Here at PP we wanted Ireland to win and after that tie we were all over the moon.But that point for the Irish knocked us out.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/wc2007/engine/match/247461.html

Now if Zim had won that game we would have progressed through to S8s despite losing to Ireland because we had better NRR.

Group D

Thats what you call a win/win scenario.

Zimbabwe will probably lose by more then a 100 in your case, so we are almost certainly through then, even if we somehow lose to both Zim and Aus

Oops, I meant SL

If you don't beat Zimbabwe then you don't deserve to move on. I'll root for Zimbabwe today and worry about the rest later.

 

[Blitz]

on. The real test!

 

[saeed-sohail]

88/0 after 15 and Murali comes in.

 

[Schickelgruber]

Not really.

Yeap and ZIM will play Kenya and SL vs NZ.

If Zim beat Kenya (which they should) then it's goobye SL.

 

[saeed-sohail]

If you don't beat Zimbabwe then you don't deserve to move on. I'll root for Zimbabwe today and worry about the rest later.

Yaar after 03 and 07 mujh main itni himmat nahin hai.

 

[Schickelgruber]

What Spin!!!

 

[desi_player]

I hope Zim wins today, and then SL loses to NZ. I want them to face the same medicine of getting knocked out in first round

 

[Schickelgruber]

Yaar after 03 and 07 mujh main itni himmat nahin hai.

LOL!

) Sorry that made me laugh

 

[mastermind_quad]

its Murli time

 

[Poison]

Imagine the pitch for NZ if SL lose this game. 3 spinners, absolute dustbowl

 

[Schickelgruber]

Murali SMASHED! for 4!!!! SL in DEEEEEEPPPP trouble here...

 

[mastermind_quad]

 

[Schickelgruber]

Imagine the pitch for NZ if SL lose this game. 3 spinners, absolute dustbowl

LOL the game is in India bhai

 

[Amjid Javed]

Muralis last ODI on his home ground! Heros ending?

 

[Inswinger]

Yaar after 03 and 07 mujh main itni himmat nahin hai.

Yeah. The weird thing is that a Pakistani loss just doesn't hurt as much anymore. I've become numb due to the controversies and incompetence. I take the wins as they come.

 

[mastermind_quad]

95/0 after 10 overs

 

[Faizan Lakhani]

at least Zimbabwean opening pair is better than ours

 

[insaftak]

Yaar after 03 and 07 mujh main itni himmat nahin hai.

I agree with Inswinger on this. If we can't beat zim then we don't deserve to go to QF

 

[Schickelgruber]

Okay so 95-0 after 16. It's looking good!

 

[Blitz]

If you don't beat Zimbabwe then you don't deserve to move on. I'll root for Zimbabwe today and worry about the rest later.

Zimbabwe have been a pain in our backside for a while now.

The rained match in '03 cost us.

The idiotic tie they had against Ireland cost us in '07.

We've never lost to them, but they keep knocking us out of World Cups.

 

[Schickelgruber]

Angela is on now

 

[mastermind_quad]

Chakabva 25 of 49 balls
Taylor 59 of 47 balls

 

[Watsupdoc]

Hmmm... not really. Zim have always struggled against Zim but we always smash them around. Remember WC 07? Nazir made a blazing 150

Zim has always struggled against Zim?

 

[Schickelgruber]

Regis must hit or get out man

 

[Schickelgruber]

Zim has always struggled against Zim?

Sorry I meant SL

 

[Schickelgruber]

And this is..... 4444444444444444444

 

[Blitz]

great shot

100 up!

 

[Schickelgruber]

100 up good start I guess.

 

[Faizan Lakhani]

its openers vs openers.

 

[Inswinger]

That was brilliantly played!

 

[mastermind_quad]

ZIM cannot win against Pakistan ....I am sure even they will not give fight to Pakistana ..

becoz of some Pakistan minnow bashers players ....

 

[Schickelgruber]

Wow this guy is batting really well actually...

 

[mastermind_quad]

...

 

[Leonidos]

Ya Allah ya tu zim jeet jaye ya agar haary tu 100 runs se zada se haary

 

[hamzie]

Is there a chance for SL to get eliminated?

 

[mastermind_quad]

103/0 after 17

 

[Schickelgruber]

I don't think Zim is a minnow ... Look at the way they are playing and most of their bowlers are quicker than Indian bowlers

 

[mastermind_quad]

Drinks

 

[Amjid Javed]

Chakabva Seems to have decided to play some shots now!

103/0 after 17 overs

 

[Inswinger]

Is there a chance for SL to get eliminated?

I think they have to lose today and to New Zealand.

 

[Schickelgruber]

Is there a chance for SL to get eliminated?

If they lose today and PAK beat ZIM and ZIM beat Kenya then they are out.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I guarentee when our openers play zimbos both will fail as usual!

 

[mastermind_quad]

I don't think Zim is a minnow ... Look at the way they are playing and most of their bowlers are quicker than Indian bowlers

they are really very quick ...

 

[Inswinger]

I guarentee when our openers play zimbos both will fail as usual!

A guarantee without consequences is useless. What's riding on the other end?

 

[Schickelgruber]

I think they have to lose today and to New Zealand.

If Zim win today then they will be on 4 pts.

If Pak Beat Zim then Pakistan will be 8 pts.

If Zim beat Kenya then Zim will be 6 pts.

If SL beat NZ they SL will be 7 pts.

So yeah, you are right.

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

I hope Zim wins today, and then SL loses to NZ. I want them to face the same medicine of getting knocked out in first round

NO ...
the semi finals will be
IND V S.L
PAK V W.I

and then they can get knocked out and we can have the real game that this world cup warrants

PAK V IND

 

[jattafridi]

after drinks wicket is coming

 

[Schickelgruber]

they are really very quick ...

Still quicker than India

 

[mastermind_quad]

they playing spinner well .....

 

[mastermind_quad]

Still quicker than India

aapki baat sach hai ..aur ye TV aapka hua ...

 

[Watsupdoc]

Sorry I meant SL

I did made similar mistake in another thread as well. Couldn't let the opportunity, as this time I was on the other end.

 

[saeed-sohail]

If Zim win today then they will be on 4 pts.

If Pak Beat Zim then Pakistan will be 8 pts.

If Zim beat Kenya then Zim will be 6 pts.

If SL beat NZ they SL will be 7 pts.

So yeah, you are right.
