Raz said:Oh for the love of God, give it a rest. I'm convinced you have an agenda against Nazir as you criticise whatever he does and however he bats. Are you totally oblivious to the fact that the New Zealand opening bowlers, particularly Bond were bowling very well with the new ball and it required application and watchful batting. So what does Nazir do? He does exactly that, plays himself in and gets out to a brute of a delivery. Most, if not all international batsman would have had difficulty playing that.
You criticise him for sending his partner back and accuse him of wanting the free hit? You're kidding me right? Nazir was trying to avoid a run out. I'll admit it wasn't the best call initially, but in the end he made the rest decision and sent his team mate back, theerby averting a run out.
People like you, so called fans of Pakistan cricket need to open your eyes and actually put some thought into your posts rather than just criticising a player, who deliberately curbed his natural attacking instincts for the sake of his team. Something, incidentally, haters like you have always criticised Nazir for not doing. And when he does that, he's wasting deliveries? Make your mind up!!
Totally agree
Bond was bowling superbly and it would have been criminal to go after him so credit to our openers for treating him with the respect he deserved
I thought Nazir played the innings well - careful first up BUT then started to free his arm as soon as Butler came on - was just unlucky he got a gem of a delivery
