Probably right, although I wouldn't discount Bond believing he could bowl them to victory from here.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.
A few I think, most notably Rowe, who scored a double & a hundred on debutAnyone ever scored two hundreds on debut before?
Yep Bond would get selected by a lot of teams in the world.Bond's an exception. He's a class above all of New Zealand's other players when he's fit, including Vettori IMO.
Didn't Pakistan's Yasir Hameed (sp?) achieve that feat against Bangladesh on debut?Anyone ever scored two hundreds on debut before?
Can't think of a current side he wouldn't make at the momentYep Bond would get selected by a lot of teams in the world.
C'mon Vettori. We want a hero.
One other, Lawrence Rowe.Didn't Pakistan's Yasir Hameed (sp?) achieve that feat against Bangladesh on debut?
Sure there has been a few others as well.
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.He'd open the bowling for any team in the world I reckon.
