I can see how this is going to go.

Yeah.. Everything is lining up for NZ to lift the cup

 

[DingDong]

Wow. This has been the bowling performance of the tournament. Pakistan batting has been cut to shreds.

All time great performance here.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah.. Everything is lining up for NZ to lift the cup

Wouldn't presume anything yet, remember Pakistan took Australia to the last ball defending a paltry 206

 

[G.I.Joe]

Taufel just taking out the frustration of losing the prestigious ICC umpire of the year trophy to Aleem Dar, on the Pakistani team, IMO.

Agreed... But NZ will beat Pakistan here.. The pitch is looking good.. NZ batsman would feel happy chasing 220 - 230 here

Calm down. Even the best umpire in the world is only human. That one bad decision is not going to be the sole reason for who wins the match today.

 

[DingDong]

that's a bit pessimistic.

 

[Howsie]

Finish them off.

 

[Fusion]

Nice little contribution by Aamer. I fully expected Pakistan to fold for under 200.

 

[Raghav]

This Cricinfo Audio Commentator is Pakistani I guess.. He is getting over excited for every run Pakistan scoring here.. It is really annoying me...

 

[AaronK]

this Aamir kid is such an exciting cricketer.. it doesn't matter what he does..it is hard to go un notice..

 

[AaronK]

I have a feeling that a target of 230 is pretty challanging in this pitch.. specially with two spiners and Aamir..

The out field is good. BOnd has given too many runs at the death.. 29 runs for last wicket is too many

 

[AaronK]

^ i still think it is challanging total with fragile New Zealand bating.. it will be an interesting one to watch here..

 

[DingDong]

How good is mills? Just 5 runs in the last over. Awe-inspiring stuff.

 

[Howsie]

Piss weak. We are so hopeless at finishing teams off. Unless Redmond scores where not going to win this.


Hell I'll say it now, game over Pakistan win.

Nah, NZ firm favorites to advance IMO.

Yes. Its Challenging BUT there aren't too many devils in this pitch,
