*Official* - Pakistan in New Zealand 2010/2011

[Flem274*]

I'm sitting here wondering how this is going to go wrong this time. Backing a partnership by these two, followed by rain.

Suspect Arnel might be on the chopping block. Vettori hasn't thrown him the ball.

Suspect Arnel might be on the chopping block. Vettori hasn't thrown him the ball.

I was wondering about that too. He only bowled 16 overs in the first innings, compared to Martin's 32 and Southee's 28. If he's not injured then Vettori is showing no faith in him at all.

 

[slugger]

vettori got get more daring.. throw the ball to someone else for flip sake.

 

[Cevno]

Younis Khan the key for Pakistan.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Not one over from Gupps or Kane yet. Come on Dan.
EDIT: One over from Guppeh. Shoulda looked closer. Why hasn't he had more?

 

[Flem274*]

Just saw the Hafeez ball to Taylor for the first time. Holy ****!

 

[James]

Colleague at work put $20 on Pakistan to win at $5 which is looking pretty good for him currently.

What a great match this has turned out to be, regardless of which way it goes. I've got the feeling that if one wicket goes here, three or four will follow quickly.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Bowl ****ing Williamson please.

 

[Flem274*]

Hope the ball change brings one that swings round corners.

Hope Vettori magically starts bowling chinamans.

 

[Prince EWS]

Franklin to take a couple of wickets.

 

[Flem274*]

Bloody hell, if Jimmy had 15ks extra, he'd have the batsmen in trouble here. He's asked a couple of questions already.

 

[Flem274*]

Franklin is so close.

He looks quick for his pace.

125km/h from both ends = unacceptable.

Vettori should just bowl at one end for the rest of the day and change the "quicks" around.

Give Williamson a go as well whilst there is runs still in the bank.


Love Jimmmmmmeeeeehhhhhhh, but one thing that always irked me was his body language, tbh.

Pressure building exercise I think. We'll see how serious Pakistan is on chasing this down by whether or not they'll try and get after these two who been miserly so far.

Would love an Arnel fiver, not only to win the match, to shut the haters up.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

More just frustrated because Vettori hasn't even tried a single over of Williamson or Guptill into the footmarks than at Arnel or Franklin's bowling specifically.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Think it's pretty clear from this that Pak are happy to sit back and take the draw. Not much to do with incredible bowling.

 

[TT Boy]

Shame Pak not showing any intent to win this but they are 1 zip up, the series victors and the chances of these two trundlers doing anything to disturb that are slim (jinx).
