Man, Pakistani TV loves the ads. They run from the moment the last ball of the over is fielded to about a millisecond before the first ball of the next one is bowled.

haha.....dude, this is the only time when the PTV makes tons of money. They don't want to let go of any second that they can lend out to advertisers.

Gee, the speed gun seems pretty generous. Either that or McClenegan and Henry are consistently in the early 140s. Oh, and here comes Milne...

Zia is as bad as I remembered him against England. Watching him and Masood in the tests, it emphasises how important Shazhad is, so few openers of worth in every format.

Yeah not really sure about the 6/7 positions. It has to be Ronchi plus one of Vettori, NMac or Neesham. Perhaps McClenaghan for Boult too.

Milne was just clocked at 152k. Methinks their speed guns are a tad generous.

He's bowling well, though.
Why is that generous? He has been clocked faster than that many times in his short career, and consistently bowls in the late 140's.

All the bowlers are bowling 5 k faster than normal. All of them, NZ and Pakistan.

I love it how the footage cuts out halfway through ads and how the ad soundtracks run even when the footage has cut back tot he cricket. They've really squeezed everything possible out of it

Well done to Pakistan, won the game in the first six or seven overs of our innings really. Needed 150+/

Actually if you get a chance to watch ptv during the world cup you should try it. They show ads right in the break between overs. Then only return back to the field of play when the bowler is in the delivery stride of the first ball of the next over.and then again they take a break for ads after the first 3 balls are bowled. Makes for wonderful viewing. If you think that they've squeezed everything they could have then wait for the world cup :p

I remember in Asia cup when Afridi hit Ashwin for a second six to seal the match, they didn't even show the ball landing behind the ropes. They cut to the ads lol. Its bad

Man it's getting increasingly tough to pick between bowlers. It might even be Mills that misses out.
