*Official* Match 24 - New Zealand v Pakistan

[Blaze 18]

our better keepers run off to UK.

Haha, I am sure there are at least ten dudes better than this guy in Pakistan itself.

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 Sarfaraz 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 a specialist batsman.

Damn you Gilchrist.

Exactly. If he keeps dropping a couple of catches every game, then it doesn't really matter how much he scores with the bat. Also, I don't really rate his batting as high as some do. Has a tendency to score big in dead rubbers and bomb in matches that matter.

"normally nails the slog sweep. Its his strength." This guy is terrible. Really bad.

 

[_Ed_]

Haha, he says we have lower-order hitting strength and he doesn't mention Mills.

 

[salman85]

what has he done with the bat for the past 2 years?

Scored runs.

He's no world beater,but he's a decent batsman.A better one than all our other wicketkeepers,which has always given him preference.But his hideous keeping displays are getting more and more common and the batting just doesn't cover it up any longer.

 

[Blaze 18]

I think he's sick today.

Oh okay, thanks.

 

[Xuhaib]

Scored runs.

like in England where he averaged mighty 4 or Australia where he averaged bradmanesque 11.If Sarfraz or Hummayun Farhat received so many chances they would have aged 20 odd aswell.

And we didnt play England and Australia only in the last two years.

Good knock so far from Styris - 20 from 29 is exactly what we needed to set a platform.

 

[Blaze 18]

Aside from a dead rubber century in Abu Dhabi versus Australia, I can't seem to remember Kamran Akmal doing anything significant with the bat.

 

[Flem274*]

WTF, did they miss the powerplay?

 

[Blaze 18]

Wow, beautiful from Styris.

they were our two major series tbf and he went missing.

 

[Blaze 18]

Batting powerplay taken.

 

[salman85]

So far so good.

Gul is easily one of the best death bowlers in the world.

 

[salman85]

Gul WAFG!!

 

[Blaze 18]

That is plumb. Dead in front.

 

[Spark]

Excellent bowling. Annoying to see yet another batsmen become obsessed with the back-away shots though.

 

[_Ed_]

Poos. But he did his job. Hope our lower-order hitters can deliver now.

 

[salman85]

You can't bowl better in a poweplay than this.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Good PP bowling from Gul, but pretty dire stuff from Styris. No need to go absolutely beserk in the first over, just dont get out ffs.
