Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
Now hafeez is paying slow because of his 100 insight
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
afridi looks frustrated
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
whats the point of a 100 if it doesn't win team the match?
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
I think they should take the batting PP once Hafeez completes his hundred in order to make full use of it
Too many times teams waste batting PP by taking it so late in the innings
The boundaries are short here. so even 250-270 might not be enough today
Agree Misbah wastes far too many balls like Younis
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
batting powerplay taken...whoosh finally!
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
Finally some (much needed) boundaries!!
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
well considering pakistan had to bat on this pitch...i think 260 would be good! gives them something to fight for
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
73 runs in the last five overs 
… I’m not sure if I’ve seen a better powerplay from Pak before.
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
73 runs have come in this batting Powerplay. Awesomeo!
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
Afridi is on song... 48 runs from 18 balls
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
Boom Boom on fire
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
Afridi Slaughtering NZ bowlers 
50 of 19 balls 
equals quickest 50 record in NZ
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
This is great going by Pakistan considering they were just 98/3 at the half way mark
290 on..
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
Umer Akmal gone after playing good inning of 44 on 29 balls ....
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
Akmal gone! But Afridi is in FORM! 50 from just 19 balls!!!!
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
I agree Misbah was a bit too slow today but without the hard stuff and solid platform built by Hafeez and Misbah, Afridi and Akmal perhaps would not have been able to attack as they did
Both Younus and Misbah are not very good at rotating the strike or keeping the scoreboard ticking but in ODI you also need someone who can consolidate and stay at the wicket
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
This is ODI Batting Pak-style..
98/3 after 25 overs
293/7 after 50 overs (almost 200 runs coming after the half way mark)
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
Brilliant Boom Boom Afridi! Thank you. What a treat.
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
New Zealand need 294 runs to win! Pakistan got this!
Re: Pakistan vs NewZealand - 3rd ODI - 2011
very good strategy...i guess pak went to the ground with a plan in mind...thats why they were so relaxed.
