Just saw Chameera  is still out...  Nah on Binura..  Neither has pace to HTD nor much inswing.  Simple Tall lanky bowler.  He ain't no Prasidh or Hazelwood or Starc. 

Kumara is borderline express & Madushanka can swing it at high pace as a left armer. 

Theekshana is okay on these pitches like Hyderabad.  Might only struggle in Kolkata or Wankhede Motera. 

 

Haven't seen much of Hemantha...  But if he can bowl both googly & leg spin,  he won't be that bad. 

 

Hemantha is redundant when you already have 3 spinners .  Binura was the best bowler in LPL .

 

He is definitely better than Rajitha. Left arm angle from 6'7" frame.  And who is in good bowling form 

 

His competition was actually Rajitha

That's poor...  Henry was getting phainty in England.  He has no use on Indian pitches. 

Milne wa injured during squad announcement. 

Matt Henry still offers new ball threat.

Milne over Southee and another hitter over a finished Williamson. 

 

Williamson has been doing a Dhoni since CT 2017. Pathetic batting against top sides.

2 warm up games seems overkill especially for us when we played 3 games against the aussies in high heat too.

Don't worry about NZ, in main event even full strength team of theirs will bend over and surrender to poyzzzz. Their only aim here is to beat us, those *ers probably don't even care about winning the world cup, just beat 1.4 billion India. Saw their hockey team do that as well in the WC, hamare ghar mein.

Why Kiwis are bowling only part timers ?

To give Pak a false sense of security that Pak batters are in good form.

They might be bowling upto 20 overs of part time in some matches based on their combination.

They have only one purpose in their miserable lives.

Will never stop thanking Aus for what they did in 2021 T20 WC SF. If not for that Wade/Stoinis miracle partnership, NZ would have happily suffered the biggest defeat in the history of T20Is against poyzzz in the final. 

 

Eng was also in the mood to surrender last year but Stokes had other plans. Some hope still there for Poms, but Kiwis are a gone case.

Wow Saud Shakeel batting like Klusener today.

Kiwis more than happy to lose against their Daddy Pakistan.

Yeah many Pakistanis believe that was their best shot at world Title in a long time that SF hurts them the most. 

 

Their T20 side is always dangerous.  4 over pacers,  overall poor fitness doesn't comes to haunt them back in T20.

@Laaloo after that 6fer against Toygers in Toygerland, MC Sodhi goes for 0/37 in his 6 overs today on a turning track. 

 

This son of a bitch will sink us even on a Dharamsala green top and against Pak, we know what will happen!!!!

[Lone Wolf]

All we need is Kiwis to hand a 5 for to Lassan Ali...  And job well done

[Gollum]

Already mentally prepared to see us top the group, repeat of 2019 SF but this time Sodhi will do a Henry.

Poms have redeemed themselves against Pak, but Saffers want to fill that historical void as slaves of poyzzz. They will come at 1000% against us in Kolkata and spread their butt cheeks wide open against poyzzzz in Chennai, you can mark this post.

Kiwis usually lose to Pakistan on a big stage but sometimes win too .

This match for example, Kiwis won against Pakistan in a tense Semi Final clash and later went on to defeat India in the finals of the 2000 CT.
