Almost every ball in that over was a terrible one.

And now he's on explode mode.Some Lusty hitting that.
Akmal's dropped catches of Taylor are coming back to haunt Pakistan.
Stunning. 17 off 3 balls already. 
Well played Ross Taylor. He's not only batted brilliantly but absolutely rattled Pakistan by heaving everything to the leg side. They just haven't had a clue of what to do against him.
Why aren't they trying to bowl short? He's taken some 40 runs off them doing the same thing.

Another wide. Followed by a 2. Was going wide that as well.
Followed by a 2. Was going wide that as well.Wonder if they're getting paid to bowl so badly at this stage of the innings. 
4 followed by another 6 !! 30 off the over !!
This innings has so come against the run of play.
Another!!
Wowww!
Another!!
Wowww!
Jesus, last 5 overs, almost a 100 runs.
I can't quite understand the Pakistani bowlers. They've kept bowling the same lengths again and again. Length, full toss, length, full toss.
Last 5 overs 95 run
Last 5 overs 95 run
Another 6 !! Oram this time.
And another by Oram. Consecutive sixes.
Oram and Ross partnership 85 off 21.

amazing hitting, from being out of it, they are now in a very strong position, 120 from 7 overs, !!!
Oram gone with a strike rate of nearly 280.
I'm seriously questioning this now, almost every ball's been on a perfect length to hit for six.

29 balls to get from 200 to 300.
302/7 off 50. Amazing hitting with some very very questionable bowling.

Take a bow Ross Taylor

I don't get why they didn't try any slower balls or bouncers or anything apart from length balls and nice and hittable full tosses.
But well played NZ, incredible hitting.
Impressive from Oram & Taylor, if Pakistan are to chase this down Misbah & Younis will be key, but I doubt we'll be able to win this game.
New Zealand were absolutely brilliant in their last ten overs.
90 off the last 4 overs?
I missed it, looking at the scorecard now. Wow
I missed it, looking at the scorecard now. Wow
This is some bowling by New Zealand.
23-2, both the openers fail again.
Edit: Vettori seems to have injured himself, hopefully nothing serious.

Younis gone, well bowled Mills.
Now Akmal gone, Kiwis can do no wrong, great stuff. 23-4, I doubt we'll get 100.
Bloody hell. What a turn-around by NZ. I need to catch the re-telecast.
Good stuff by the Kiwis.
Sam is having an unbelievable week sports wise.
Afridi gone ! Good one by Oram.

Broad out for the rest of the World Cup
What's going on with the English players?
Massive loss for England, I suppose Shahzad comes in to replace him.
Who do we bring in, Tredwell?
EDIT: Forgot about Tremlett, it will be one of the two you would think.

All over, Kiwis thrash Pakistan. Bit of resistance from the lower order, New Zealand bowled very well but that innings from Taylor and some big blows by Oram did the damage.
Been a fantastic WC so far.
140 off the last 10?!! how's that even possible!
This has been the most boring hour of cricket at the world cup so far.
Netherlands have done nothing exciting with the bat and we've done nothing exciting with the ball. So little beating the bat, such few lbw shouts, a real snorefest. To top that off we have zero intensity on the field.
In addition, we used the DRS and seemed to just chill together taking in fluids for 5 minutes after. I think the players just got bored!
Then there as some random confusion with which end the batmsan should be at.
Bloody hell.

Why are they persisting with Chawla?
