Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st T20| Dubai | 11/12/09 | NZ Inngs

[Oxy]

Pakistan finish on 161 from their 20 overs - leaving the Kiwis 162 to win

[don1990]

intresting match expecting...

[Afridi_Fan]

needs to find his T20 yorker form.

[uzy99]

should be a good chase to watch.

[Mohsin]

Wel should win

[Afridi_Fan]

Will be interesting to see how Pakistan fields and how many extras we conceed.

Two areas where we are generally weak.

[don1990]

lets hope for the win.....

[RumiNYC]

Fawad alam isn't cut out for 20/20..Enuff said !

[Paradox]

I wouldn't bowl Tanvir, actually, he'll just let go of this pretty good target by bowling wide outside off deliveries, lots of wides down leg side, and plenty of no balls, which is guaranteed. Unless he's completely transformed himself in these few months out of cricket.

Or if I'd HAVE to bowl everyone, I'd bowl 4 overs by Gul, 4 overs by Aamir, 4 overs by Afridi, 4 overs by Ajmal, and 2 overs each by Tanvir and Razzaq.

[srh]

Kamran Akmal, Umar Akmal, Shoaib Malik and Fawad Alam were not good today in batting.

[Afridi_Fan]

[<< Rashid >>]

Granted Pakistan have a good bowling attack, but just one cameo from a NZ batsman, and they can reduce it to a run-a-ball. NZ will be used to these sort of conditions back home, so should be an interesting game.

I thought it was funny when they stretchered him off though...

I would bowl, 4 overs Gul, 4 overs Aamer, 4 overs Afridi, 4 overs Ajmal, 2 overs Tanvir, 1 over Malik, 1 over Razzaq. Depends on who does better than the other.

Too true.

And it was quite humiliating to watch, actually. That ugly face and messed up hair of Redmond's doesn't fit the Afridi celebration, and he's not even half the cricketer Afridi is.

I think did well, if he wasnt there we might have witnessed a collapse just like 3rd ODI.

[saj001]

A win by 40 runs

[GLORY OF '92]

Just some early wkts then spinners will strangle. No extras.

His SR was better than Umar and Malik but I just feel this guy would not be able to hit a boundary.

[Paradox]

I wouldn't bowl Razzaq or Tanvir at all then, bowl 4 overs each with Aamer, Gul, Malik, Afridi, and Ajmal respectively, since NZ struggle with our spin attack.

Or if I had to I'd bowl 4 overs each with Aamer, Gul, Afridi, and Ajmal, with 2 overs each with Malik and Razzaq.

Our bowling has depth.

[Afridi_Fan]

The openers are coming out.

[Da Best]

How much time left guys?

[don1990]

batsmen comes in....

[don1990]

aamer with the new ball...

[Afridi_Fan]

The Dangerous McCullum.

[Afridi_Fan]

And Martin Guptill, he can launch them too.

[don1990]

some swing for aamer...

[Afridi_Fan]

Beats him.

[srh]

Also remember Pakistan has Khalid Latif and Imran Farhat waiting outside who are more explosive than Shoaib Malik and Fawad Alam.

[Da Best]

Starts of with a dot ball.

[don1990]

wht a ball... almost a wicket here...

[makaveli786]

good batting on the whole. imran nazir went a long way which helped. both akmals, shoaib malik were poor. fawad stopped the collapse and tano hit some fireworks.

Afridi did what PP has been screaming for and promoted Umar akmal to number 3.

[Apnacricket]

Mccullum should goo earlyyyyy.

[Afridi_Fan]

beauty.

[Sheikh]

142.5 kph from Aamer.

Is that 90 mph?

[Afridi_Fan]

There you go four over-throws.

[Da Best]

4 to McCullum. * Sigh * looks like the spinners will have to clean up again.

[Afridi_Fan]

And there was no need for that throw.

[don1990]

[saj001]

[kashif77]

Great bowling from Aamer, but garbage fielding killed it for us

[Desi]

oh god............................................... ....

[adeem_as]

Pakistan has lost it. close your tv/computers.

[Da Best]

17 off the over then.... Aamer starts off completely the opposite of Bond.

[Sheikh]

Wickets will do it. N.Z don;t have much batting:

McCullum
Guptill
Taylor
Styris
Broom
Watling
McCullum
Southee

[haseebbabar]

[DonJee]

is sohail tanvir injured?????

[Afridi_Fan]

Ohh No, Taneer for the new ball.

bad Bad decision I think.

[Muhammad Waleed]

GUYZ CHILL......Aamir is will take his revenge

[uzy99]

looks like NZ are trying to score all their runs off the fast bowlers. they know they can't play spin.

[ali110]

140 more to go and fans will be screaming to get rid of Afridi .......
grabbing and pop corn, it will be interesting.....

[Da Best]

Tanvir bowling now. Hope he doesn't mess up.

[cricket_fever]

[Desi]

why does it say tanvir is a "lmf/sla" bowler. has he bowled spin other than that embarrassing test against india?

[GLORY OF '92]

Great start for nz. Need these 2 out or they will take it away in first 6.

[Afridi_Fan]
