One of the commentators was tom moody

Wilkins made me cringe earlier when he thanked Rameez Raja for teaching him bits of Arabic. I'm no expert, and maybe he was right, but I thought it was Urdu.

At least Franklin and Ryder like playing against Indian bowlers.

They scored a few runs but what was the score last time India played NZ in an ODI series recently mate?

OMG you beat New Zealand!!! a country with four million people and a team that has lost the last 17 out of 20 odd games. Well done!!! Gold sticker!!

 

[Nate]

The percentage of people that don't rate Franklin would far outweigh the amount the do imo.

Haha, maybe now. Almost every time I've said something similar before, I get slated.

if Kamran can put a paper bag on his head I might think about watching this game.

Those of us that don't rate him tend to be a bit cautious about saying so, because every now and then he does something amazing and makes us look immensely stupid. Those good performances are few and far between, though.

Cheers mate, they are a decent ODI side, so despite their poor run and being humiliated by Bangladesh it shows how well we were playing to keep them down in the fashion we did, they certainly wont want to face us in the quarters that is for sure.

Too many Wellingtonians, that's the problem.

Bizarre stuff from Afridi.

 

[Spark]

Haha, silly Afridi.

Surely Pakistan must have a better wicket-keeper than Kamran ? Even Umar Akmal who isn't a regular wicket-keeper would give him a run for his money.

our better keepers run off to UK.

I thought Adnan Akmal looked pretty good behind the stumps in the Tests here in NZ.

Zulqarnain was a decent keeper.He wasn't as good a batsman as Kamran,but with the number of ****s Kamran makes behind the stumps,good batting is no excuse.

Zulqarnain might never play for the team again,but there's still Sarfraz Ahmed.Heck,even his brother Adnan is a good keeper.But now cricket has an unwritten rule that you cannot have a keeper who is not a specialist batsman.

Damn you Gilchrist.

 

[Blaze 18]

Can someone tell me if Jesse Ryder is injured or rested ?

 

[Xuhaib]

hope Rossco scores a 100 might just be enough for Kamran to get the axe for the rest of the games.

I think he's sick today.
