*Official* - Pakistan in New Zealand 2010/2011

[Flem274*]

A bowler gets smashed and take no wickets and it's "random abuse" to say he's not bowling well?

Maybe because in the first game he bowled better than his figures, he started well in his first 1.3 overs today, and these boundaries are shorter than Mitchell Johnson's bowling?

He's one of the best 18 year olds I've seen, and you can't predict how good he will be at this age. He's only here because the selectors don't care about this series apart from blooding young players. Chill out.

Stfu mills you lunatic!

I think somehow since Mills is a nice guy off the field & flirts with the media & officials, he gets away with the most horrendous behaviour on the park.

See, I'm actually 100% with Simon Doull on this. Concentrate on raw pace first, then work on the other subtleties. Same for young spinners, learn how to spin the ball first.

I agree, but still- imo being fast is only vaguely related to being good. It's one useful skill but less important than accuracy, for example

 

[Hurricane]

Was getting decent movement off the seam, tbf. And he might be quicker than Aamer by a fair margin. But overall Aamer was better by some distance, yes.

Violently agreeing with you - but Amir can swing the ball and bowl deliberate cutters at will. I havn't seen enough of Milne to know if he is doing anything at will or if he is just bowling seam up and letting the pitch do the work.

Razzaq the Razzler!

 

[Chewie]

Looks like NcCullum's drop is going to prove costly..

 

[BeeGee]

Argh, NcCullum

 

[Bahnz]

Ha. Razzaq giving Southee's pile of rubbish exactly what it deserved.

I disagree. He has bowled poorly imo

He's one of the best 18 year olds I've seen, and you can't predict how good he will be at this age.

He's the fastest I've seen. You're right, no-one can predict how good he will be- so remind me again why we should be so excited?

He's only here because the selectors don't care about this series apart from blooding young players. Chill out.

I am chilled out. You seem a bit emotional.

Milne wicket :-D

 

[Faisal1985]

Milne was crazy fast but Ahmad Shehzad was equal to it....really smashed around in the early power play..

The best part was him picking up deliviries from off stump and putting them in the cow corner...good old tapeball talla!

 

[Zinzan]

A bowler gets smashed and take no wickets and it's "random abuse" to say he's not bowling well?

Ironically, nobody's suggested he has been bowling well either. Your beef was about people getting excited just because he was fast

 

[Bahnz]

Yay Milne! Bowls a half volley and gets a wicket.

 

[thierry henry]

Horrible bowling

 

[Chewie]

He's a terrible death bowler though

 

[Flem274*]

Milne needs to pitch it up at the death. He has a good yorker.

 

[thierry henry]

Ironically, nobody's suggested he has been bowling well either. Your beef was about people getting excited just because he was fast

Yeah...and I stick to that beef because it's a pretty stupid reason to get excited

More horrible bowling

 

[Faisal1985]

Razzaq in just killer form...!

 

[Bahnz]

Milne shouldn't feel too bad about being taken apart by Razzaq, although he is getting his length hopelessly wrong.

 

[Prince EWS]

Razzaq really loves batting against New Zealand.
