Pakistan vs new zealand at Gymkhana stadium

Grep chapple,Well come ladies and jentel man to witness this awsome action between new zealand and pakistan,this is a very good match a must win situation for both teams in that case,Any of these two teams can go to the final only if they win this match.Other wise If you dont you will be out of the tournament,This track looks good for batting,The bowlers will also have some thing in this pitch specially the fast bowlers and shoaib akhtar might have a package suprise for as in this pitch.

Rameez,good morning viewers good morning grep,Yes this pitch looks to be a good one for batting and the bowlers might find some help in this pitch as well,the toss has been won by pakistan and inzamam has decided that he would bowl first,It is not a bad decision as grep said earlier that this pitch is a good one for fast bowlers but they might go for runs later one in the inning as the ball gets older,

Greg,Lets look at the two line ups for both teams,no changes what so ever the same team the same winning combination for both teams,both teams worked hard to get to the semi final and if any of these wins the game will truly deserve to be in the final,lets look at the two line ups for both teams.

Why did Inzy select to bowl on a good batting wicket??

Puzzling for sure.. Lets hope for a great contest here!!

 

[fardin]

Youhana Almost hitting The stumps just a inch away.

Greg,the chance was missed could have been a run out their,Not good communication by astle and fleming two experinced new zealand players,Fleming was a mile away from the creas,The direct hits hasnt been working for pakistan over the years and here we go another chance missed by another pakistani fielder,

Rameez,They really have to improve their fielding skills greg,They are a good odi team by fielding comes to hunt them every time,Teams like australia succed with good fielding and They have to work hard as well.

 

[pal]

I can almost picture the scene.. a dark forest in Mozambique, Africa, and the Pakistani team running for their lives being HUNTED by the dark, evil, fielding monster..

 

[fardin]

Astel Plays a lovely shot!

Sanjay,Astle is looking dangerouse here,He is a player who has a good record againts pakistan,He had succeded againts them in many occasions,Today he has to do it again for new zealand,

Rameez,He starts well looking for singles and hitting the odd boundries the run rate at the moment is 5.36 which is very good,We have a great match in our hand.

 

[fardin]

Razzaq gets a wicket,Inzamam happy!

Sanjay,Lovely delievery and a good catch by the slip fielder,The bowl was travely at some speed and The catch wasnt to be dropped and taken nicely by the fielder in the slips

Greg,New zealand in trouble in here viewers,4 wickets down at the moment will they be able to put a decent partnership to find That out please stay with use this match is turning out to be what doctor ordered for pakistan They havent dropped any catches so far,A lovely catch was caught by hafeez to drop fleming earlier and this another one,

 

[fardin]

Greg(quote)New zealand in Trouble,but vettori in deep trouble.

Greg,Shoaib akhtars pace and The struggling new zealand cant be more embarrased then this,Vettori just manages to hit the bowl other wise That bowl could have beheaded him,Great delivery by shoaib akhtar it was fast and it was with some pace like a rocket.

 

[fardin]

New zealand collapses,Captain fleming not happy at all

jones,Oh well oh well,What we have here in our hand,New zealand collapses only making 137 runs,Pakistan will love to chase any thing under 200 and they have been set for one,Every body expected new zealand to put a good total specialy in a good wicket but new zealand just couldnt do it here,Should feel sorry for the new zealand fans,This is like losing a world cup match,

Ian healy,I am disappointed by this batting effort by new zealand by spactacular bowling effort by pakistan which restricted new zealand to only 137 runs,This will be an easy match for pakistan to win,Bond has some work to do here,He has to bend his back like he has never before,The contest is getting hotter and hotter,Let look at the score card at the moment.

 

[fardin]

Dean Jones(quote) good bowling performance by Pakistan,You dont say that often do you

Jones,The credit have to go the pakistani bowler they did a great job,Wonder full bowling from afridi,etc etc,Azhar mahmod was doing a great job to they and he deserves those wicket that he has taken,Only one wicket for shoaib akhtar but he wont mind That at all,

Greg,Sami no wickets but they wont be disappointed This is a team work and They will be happy to see The other fellows doing well,Azhar mahommod Taking 2 wickets two importent wickets,He is a crucial player for pakistan and Pakistan know it,He has been out of action for long time but this is a good performance by him.

 

[fardin]

The only performance Astle,s performance

Astle tried his best to take new zealand out of the carnage by the other batsman wasnt supporting him,he surely be disappointed by this score but the match is not ove till it is over so,New zealand still has to bat and I am sure they will give thier hundreht percent in the field,They are normally very good fielders new zealanders.

 

[The Champ]

Good bowling by Pak Fardin but i think they should have batted first
