Pakistan tour of NZ

After a good performance against SA in tests this tour SHOULD be fairly straight forward with a series win in all 3 forms of the game DESPITE the absence of numerous players.

My money's on a no-ball in the fifth over.

Should we open a book on which Pakistani player will be the next to be investigated for match-fixing?

Don't let the Pakistani team know, though, it might cause a stampede.

I don't care about wides or no balls as long as they bowl fast.

Too late more than likely

Yeah, I don't care about deliberate no balls, throwing wickets away, Coaches being murdered, players whacking each other with cricket bats, forfeiting games, NOTW stings, punch ups with opposition players in the nets, taking illegal drugs, and the disputed gender of Mohammad Sami...Just as long as they bowl FAST!

why so much jealously against Sami?
Is it her hair?

A dismal start to the tour for Pakistan with a defeat in a T20 against Auckland

Tomorrow is the FIRST T20 vs NZ

No Sami?

Nope, unfortunately he has been dropped

Playing Umar Akmal as a wicket keeper for T20s is NOT a bad idea but unfortunately there is not much hitting power other than Akmal himself and the 2 all rounders(Afridi and Razzaq). It is kind of strange to see players like Fawad, Younis and A Shahzad in a T20 lineup.

Until last year PAK were BY FAR the best T20 team in the world now they have such a sucky team

Ahmed Shahzad should get a go, he has a phenomenal average of 102.71 in the Quaid-e-Azam trophy.

He is quite talented but i didn't think he was a t20 player BUT that seems NOT to be true.

Ahmed Shehzad is indeed quite a talent. He has a First Class batting average of 45.87 for his career.

Why don't you read more about him in my preview below. While we're at it why not buy a pair of foldable shoes?

the third wicket was an absolute shocker of a decision - smashed the cover off a ball that was clearing the stumps and given out LBW.

Umpiring in this cricket match was NOT very good.

Best thing about the game was this 18 year old Kiwi bowler bowling a ball at 148 and overall he was the SECOND fastest bowler after Shoaib.

Mark him down as doomed to be a nonentity then

Why?

He is quite talented actually.

guptilll continuing his form from the last match. hammering the paksters

Easy win for the Kiwis.


FMD Ajmal chucks it. From side on he looks like he is playing for the Red Sox.

So Ajmal will be fine then after a resounding thud?
