*Official* - Pakistan in New Zealand 2010/2011

The guilt consumed him, so he got himself out. WAG.

 

[Jono]

**** this is good from Kamran. If Afridi has any brains (lol) he'll get himself in and let Kamran do the scoring for a few overs.

 

[Jono]

That's the ball game

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Blimey, Franklin is ****loads better from around the wicket.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Lovely reverse from Southee. Curved away viciously late.

Ross Taylor has a crazy catches per innings ratio of 0.752 in ODI's.

The next best (with 70+ catches) is Mussey with 0.566

iirc, he also has a pretty crazy ratio in Tests too, second only to Bob Simpson.

That's funny because in his first handful of games he dropped a few sitters lol must have been nerves.

Seems like we took the batting Powerplay at the right time today.

I hope that's an end of lets bat batsman X (pick one of McCullum, Taylor, or Ryder) lower down the order so that they can bat through the PP. Styris and Nathan showed that any of our recognised batsman can do the business.

There was that semi final in the champions trophy where Elliot and Vettori did the business.

Lol, if Stryis was run out like he should have been, NZ would have ****ed up the powerplay tactics and probably lost this game.

They got lucky in terms of powerplay. Should have taken it with Ryder in, no doubt.

This is still possible for Pakistan. If we lose this....

 

[Jono]

Afridi threatening now.

 

[Jono]

77 to win from 9 overs.

 

[NUFAN]

That's the ball game

Thanks Bill Lawry. ****

 

[Mike5181]

Which Southee are we going to see. The perfect yorker one or the hit me for a boundary one.

 

[Jono]

Thanks Bill Lawry. ****

 

[Mike5181]

That's pretty unlucky tbh. Don't like winning games like that.

 

[Jono]

Afridi needs to play a Razzaq/Yusuf Pathan now and do it all himself.

 

[Jono]

**** bowling Bennett.

Although I agree with the decision of when they took the PP (and you need luck no matter when you take it) - my point was more around our batting order and where to bat McCullum.

 

[Jono]

What a catch! That was a rocket!
