Nah I'm pretty sure Pakistan still need 120-odd more before the game ends.

Something about their attitudes though. It's like, Pakistan are backing themselves to win. New Zealand seem to think, "we dropped a catch, is that the game gone?" where Pakistan are thinking, "just 120 more runs to get". The belief in the Pakistan team might make the difference, because the team's themselves are pretty close in quality.

Probably right, although I wouldn't discount Bond believing he could bowl them to victory from here.

Bond's an exception. He's a class above all of New Zealand's other players when he's fit, including Vettori IMO.

Yep Bond would get selected by a lot of teams in the world.

C'mon Vettori. We want a hero.

Edit - And Dan bowls a beauty - and then goes for six next ball.

He'd open the bowling for any team in the world I reckon.
Yeah, especially at the moment where there aren't many great bowlers around. And of the teams, reckon South Africa would be best off having him sharing the new ball with Steyn.

Tea now.

Interesting how all the other top 8 teams have been playing lopsided matches while this match is so close.
