HYDERABAD: The World Cup is just two days into the tournament and there's so much talk about over-rate, a situation the teams are likely to encounter down the line. New Zealand set the tone in the opener against England.
But Pakistan seemed unaffected in their opening fixture and their "way of cricket" as their director Mickey Arthur put it on match eve, clearly lacked flair. If they expected the Netherlands to roll over at the Rajiv Gandhi international Stadium on Friday, it didn't happen.
