Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

Younis Khan must be happy man, if NZ puts a big total, both him and BUTT can score 50s by playing 100 balls... and they will get their records better.. Pakistan can go to hell

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

in the last 3 overs Mccullum has hit a 6 every over.

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

65/0 off 10 overs.

Last 5 overs 46 runs.

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

i say 300+ target easily

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

Umar Gul to McCullum, no run, brilliantly fielded but run out missed, full toss outside off, driven wide of mid-off where Younis Khan hurls himself to his left and returns a strong throw at the keeper's end with McCullum well short, Kamran hasn't run in to collect it, Younis misses, giving McCullum just the time he needs to make it back

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

Umar Gul to Redmond, OUT, gone! Redmond is Gul's 100th ODI wicket, short of a length on the off, comes down the track and tries to slap it past the bowler, gets a top edge and it lands safely into the palms of Aamer at third man

**AJ Redmond c Mohammad Aamer b Umar Gul 21 (30b 3x4 0x6) SR: 70.00

76/1 off 12 overs.

the opening damage has been done though, a wicket too late :bummer:
lets just hope now they keep taking wickets at regular intervals.

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

88/1 off 16.2 overs.

Razaq and Ajmal have pulled it back to an extent.

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

Pakistan should focus to get McCullum out soon...

99/2 off `18.0 overs...

'Resting' Yousuf absolutely makes no sense whatsoever

Pakistan need to take wickets at regular intervals to check the rate of scoring

NZ 109/2 looking good for another huge total

Pakistan will not want to chase anything more than 260-270

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

127/2 off 23 overs.

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

I think Yousuf and Younus should quit ODIs...too old to play those kind...

NZ 134/2 off 25.0 overs...

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

McCullum Gone, i wonder why shoaib didn't bowl in 2nd match, i think Younis forgot that he had shoaib's option

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

Shoaib Malik to McCullum, OUT, tame dismissal, turns in just a hint from a good length on the off, tries to close the face while playing the attempted drive to long-on, ends up scooping it straight back to Malik who makes no mistake

**BB McCullum c & b Shoaib Malik 76 (78b 6x4 3x6) SR: 97.43  **

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

159/3 off 32

Shoaib and Afridi have pulled it right back for Pakistan.

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

4 down...

164/4

Shahid Afridi to Styris, OUT, run out, goes for the cut, gets an inside edge towards short fine, Taylor calls for the single, Styris responds but is caught off-guard as Butt targets the non-striker's end and scores a direct hit to find Styris just short of his ground
*SB Styris run out 14 (19b 0x4 0x6) SR: 73.68 *

Butt not only fielded but manage to run him out. Well I have started believing in miracles now. :hayaa:

True. But…

Mohammad Aamer to Vettori, no run, drops a dolly, short of a good length, tries to work it into the leg side, gets a leading edge and Aamer spills the easiest of catches!!

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - 3rd ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Monday, Nov. 9, 2009

187/4 off 38.1 overs.
