Haha, I too thought Pallekele sounded like a Tongan name. And therefore he should by default play for us

Wouldn't mind seeing Oram coming back for this game in place of Bennett. Oram is still a very experienced player and if he could discover some form prior to the quarter finals that would be huge for us. Who knows, perhaps a short period of being fit but not selected may have helped him refocus his game a little.
Bennett wasn't hugely impressive against Zimbabwe, though by nature he's always going to be inconsistent with that bowling action at this stage in his career. Is still an option if NZ feel they need to 'roll the dice' later in the tournament.

Why do you want them to bowl first ? Pakistan would love batting first; that is their strength. If they bat first and post 250 plus, New Zealand will find it very hard to score against their spinners.

Flem is on a restricted license in this thread until he pledges allegiance to his homeland.Mills bias does not equal NZ bias. Did you know we dropped him earlier in this world cup when he was reportedly fit to play?
Mills. Mills.

You're wrong. India and SL (and Australia and WI) met in the groups and the semifinals in '96.

Are you referring to the match in which Umar Gul got a fiver ? I think that was the 2009 T20.Glad you took that in good humor
I always liked NZ as a team,and heck,they're probably the team i cheered when Pakistan got knocked out.But i got pissed off after Vettori's whined about ball tampering during the 2007 T20.

Yeah he did get five in that game.It wasn't the semi-final, Pakistan faced (and beat) South Africa in the semi-final.

Didn't the ball tampering comment from Vettori come after we beat New Zealand in the first edition of the T20?
My memory is ****ed!
