*Official* - Pakistan in New Zealand 2010/2011

[Xuhaib]

and I reckon Pakian has got it wrong by choosing Younis & Misbah as the middle overs stabilizers instead of Malik and Mo Yo reckon this decision is going to cost us a crucial game at the WC.

 

[straw man]

How many were Pakistan getting in the last ten back the middle of last decade (ish) when Razzaq was clobbering the bowling everywhere in every match? Must have been close to 120 or 130 at times.

I remember well my loathing of frizzy-haired Mills being picked in the side back then. He proved me wrong and subsequently turned into a very good ODI bowler... but still doesn't seem to like bowling at the death against Pakistan!

It's 5:00 am here in the UK, but I'm glad I stayed up. Afridi absolutely massacred the kiwis and well played to Umar and especially to Hafiz for a brilliant knock in testing conditions at the start. Great news for Pak if their forms continue into the world cup.

On subcontinent pitches i guess you are right...Malik and Mo Yo would be a far better choice then Misbah and YK.

How century today

 

[Prince EWS]

Love watching How. Hope he fails though tbh because him scoring a ton here will probably just make them drop Franklin from the first XI in the World Cup which would be a mistake.

 

[Hurricane]

I miss having one of Ryder or McCullum at the top of the order...need one player with a high SR up there.

Will make 68 (109).

Glorious from Guptill.

 

[Xuhaib]

Afridi is trully a clueless skipper you ain't winning many matches if you open the bowling with two spinners.

 

[Bahnz]

Should leave a slip in if they want How.

 

[Xuhaib]

nah captain brains feel leg slip is a more wicket taking option, don't see why people think he's an aggressive skipper.

 

[Athlai]

Decent shot, good catch.

 

[_Ed_]

Argh.

But it was a good catch.

 

[Xuhaib]

aargh so want Tanvir to have a poor series don't see what he brings to the table.

 

[_Ed_]

Uh oh.

 

[Smudge]

Styris looking positively awful.

 

[_Ed_]

Styris is looking horrendous. He's missed more than he's hit.

 

[_Ed_]

Massive stroke of luck for Styris.

 

[_Ed_]

And once again Guptill looked absolutely sensational getting to 30 and then got out. So, so frustrating.

That's something I hope he can work on in his stint in county cricket this year.
