23rd Match - Pakistan v Zimbabwe

[Prince EWS]

Why do I get the feeling Haris Sohail is going to troll one of Zimbabwe's three best batsmen out?

 

[Prince EWS]

I don't know, based on current form I'm more comfortable facing Pakistan.

I actually rate a few of Zim's batsmen and they seem to be in nick.

Be that the case you should hope Pakistan win this one then.

There are lots of possible things that could happen in this group but the simplest equation from here is probably:
If South Africa and India win their remaining games and Ireland beat the winner of this game, Ireland qualify regardless of anything else.

So I'd just be looking at it like that for now.

Nah you'd rather face Zim every time. Pakistan's attack can put us in trouble. Against Zim we can chase down basically anything.

When was the last time this crop of Pakistan bowlers did anything special? I see where you are coming from though, historically I'd be scared of them.

 

[Spikey]

awww no

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ah ****

 

[Prince EWS]

This is the big partnership now. It'll really need to do most of the heavy lifting.

 

[Howe_zat]

That shot had the crew of the ISS worried

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dunno what masakadza was thinking of there

 

[Stapel]

Taking risks when there is absolutely no need for it. The best way to get out of the WC!

I think regardless of how guys like Wahab/Afridi have been going against other test sides they're very dangerous for Associates that aren't used to facing that kind of bowling.

Weird tactics there. Waited for the best bowler to come back on before trying something crazy.

 

[viriya]

Crucial wicket.. Zim have to make sure they play out Irfan without giving more wickets here.. any more and it's probably game over.

Yup. Needs to last until the runs needed is in double figures.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yup. Needs to last until the runs needed is in double figures.

Yeah, especially since Chigumbura is injured and may not bat.

 

[NUFAN]

Really depressing over for Zim there. I just can't fathom why Hamilton thought that was the right time to go for one, dreadful.

 

[Howe_zat]

You want pace on to Williams, surely?

 

[Prince EWS]

Getting Williams in to face Afridi's overs is a positive in a way I guess.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, especially since Chigumbura is injured and may not bat.

Bollocks, didn't know this when I backed Zimbabwe.

 

[Howe_zat]

Has the Gabba always been ****ing huge or are Pakistan's fielders exaggerating it

 

[Prince EWS]

Bollocks, didn't know this when I backed Zimbabwe.

"May not bat" is purely speculative on my part but he did leave the ground and go for a scan on a suspected torn quad, so with no runners I don't reckon he'll be in at his usual place in any rate.
