**Official** Group D Discussion - Pakistan, New Zealand, Bangladesh

[_Ed_]

Haha, what happened there?

 

[smash84]

Pakistan didn't need to play both tanno and arafat....they should have chosen only one of the 2.....and after the debacle in UAE I thought tanno's days were over?

 

[Meridio]

The toe of Nicol's bat being put to good use here.

 

[smash84]

khatmal.....wtf

 

[The_roc]

Bit of Mark Philippoussis about Umar Akmal with that stubble aws.

More like Desperate Dan?

 

[smash84]

is there not one decent wk in the whole of Pakistan?

 

[smash84]

almost 8 rpo now NZ.....doing much better now....

hafeez needs to bring on the spinners now

 

[Meridio]

Hmm, not a bad start for us in the powerplay, but would prefer to have a few more runs. Going to be very hard to score off Ajmal.

 

[smash84]

Afridi's got his man

 

[_Ed_]

Ah.

But not a bad contribution from Nicol. Over to you, Brendon.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Yay! Nicol gone!

 

[Scaly piscine]

would like to see McCullum bat against Ajmal....that would be a nice contest

Hmm think it would be 2-3 swipes across the line, might get one away for four and another would go straight up in the air. But then of course there's the random element of whether anyone would catch it.

 

[straw man]

Oh well - decent job by Nicol. Now to see with McCullum and then Taylor if we have a chance this match.

 

[smash84]

brendo comes to the crease

 

[The_roc]

As Nasser Hussain is always telling us, never try to cut Afridi.

haha....yeah....but it would be exciting to watch.....in a T20 even the best bowlers can get hit....and Baz is in good form

 

[smash84]

captain back into the attack

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Great strategical wicket sacrificing from NZ!

 

[smash84]
