Lol....why do you have to outpwn me every time? I thought I knew all the nari-nokhotro of caffeine and energy boosts yet never heard of it. Defo. be on my lookout tomorrow. Pharmacy store right?

Vettori strikes. 46/5.

For those at cricinfo who has seen almost every other match, they can vouch that NO match is boring.

Each has a fingerprint of it's own. Each it's own whimsical nature. At least that's the wisdom I gradually got from Cricket Philosophy. =)

NZ is riping up zim..what so ever interest for this game was in BD public is gone now..one sided game..

bujhee kom · #16 March 4, 2011, 01:55 AM

Zimbabwe-er pura batting dhosshh!

al Furqaan · #17 March 4, 2011, 01:56 AM

Zeeshan and Zunaid...u guys are weak! caffeine and energy shots?

i'm up straight up on fumes...pansies!

ATMR needs to whip you both.

***************

on topic: sean williams gets injured like he's a pacer...wtf...man this game had a lot of promise, two of the best spin attacks around and 2 of the most inept batsman while facing spin. my prediction on the ZIM forum was that neither team would cross 150...looks like it will come true despite the flatness of the pitch.

Who says those were for me? The poor Zee needs all the help he can get.

I eat ATMR for breakfast. Remember I was the first one to have said "Sleep is for the weak" just before I disappeared for a couple months with SAH.

Anyway - on topic - we may get something similar for our match. The pitches have softened but still dry.

Ami dui kg Shondesh khacchi...bose bose..

shane2k · #20 March 4, 2011, 02:20 AM

last order seems doing pretty good for Zimbabwe ... though not enough run but they've a good bite.. NZ should have good rid of them a long time back....

Nadim · #21 March 4, 2011, 02:21 AM

Zim following our footsteps....taken the batting PP when their last batsman came to bat

Nadim · #22 March 4, 2011, 02:22 AM

All over!

NZ need 163 to win....i say they will win by 4 wickets.
