Pak vs. NZ - 5th ODI

10.5 Mohammad Sami to Cumming, OUT: Sami Strikes again! good length
delivery, tries to force it off the backfoot, inner edge off the
pads onto stumps

:bhangra:

I think Sami took it personally that he was not given new ball. Its like Not giving new bride to groom. :wink:

He is firing all cylinders.

So, in this match they bring Shabbir and use Sami as first-change bowler. And what happens… Shabbir gets hit for 5.80/ov in his first 5 overs and Sami takes 2 wickets in his first 2 overs! Wah bhai wah! Planning ho tau aisi :k:

So it means that Sami should come as first change bowler. He would be good to keep the pressure on the opponents. Shabbir is not bad as an oppener.

Bohot ajeeb planning hai

NZ after 12 Overs 63/2

Damn this annoying Ian Smith praises Styris’s backfoot coverdrive as the best in the world he has ever seen:mad: :mad: :mad:

Shabbir delivering his 7th consecutive over :eek:

worse than sidhuism!:smack:

Styris gone NZ 73/3

Azher gets his 1st wicket in this match

And the batsmen crossed over during a caught behind? Ball must be in the air for a while.

breakaaN lagg giyaaN nay? :-)

well done pak so far, :jhanda: we r on top, nice strategy being used by pak, sami as 1st change and finally he is getting amongst the wickets :rolleyes:

AWFUL Fielding example set by Inzi ..... he tried to stop the ball by foot just to see the ball bating his foot to run down the long off boundary

  • 9.6 Azhar Mahmood to McMillan, FOUR, overpitched ball,
    driven to cover ** and lazy skipper tries to stop the ball
    from his foot, misses it and ball crossed the bounddary line * **

:rotfl: :hehe: :smiley:

*quite empty here .... all gone to bed or what ??????? *

^^^ yaar zero i think most guppies have gave up as pak have for 1 lost the series, and the outcome of this match won't improve the situation much

OK then i'm also off ..... gonna switch off the Sat-Receiver + the PC which'll also end the broadcast

i donno whether bringing sami one change was a gd decision or not because i cant say for sure whether he took those wickets because he had greater control as the ball wasnt new, or was it just one of those matches in which he clicks. n shabbir has been dissapointing.

before this game iwas thinking that maybe shoaib should go one change, just like waqar went in his hay dayz. but oh well...

So ..All rounders gave
63 in 12 overs with one wicket.



Azhar Mahmood                4      0     24      1 (1nb)
Shoaib Malik                 5      0     21      0
Abdul Razzaq                 3      0     18      0 


New Zealand 142/3 (29.2 ov) :eek:
