ICC World Cup 2023: New Zealand v Pakistan | Match 35 | Bengaluru | 4 November | New Zealand Innings

[7sins]

No fighting spirit no passion literally nothing and they get tax payers money to play like that?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Crowd to my right waved at Hasan and he acknowledges, lol.

Can somewhat track SSA's trajectory but Rauf too quick.

 

[ArabKnight]

The Lyari U-19 team is better than these jokers

Even Na-maqamis XI from Gadap and Malir are better than this side.

 

[cricket.mad]

I decided to sacrifice one nights sleep to watch Ken Williamson today - he didn’t disappoint his only fan here as it looks.

Stadium is full of KW fans ,seeing at the number of people wearing KW jerseys

 

[7sins]

Last 5 overs almost 10 an over

 

[sweep_shot]

Rachin is on 73*. Another century?

I am staying up too. I took a nap in the evening to watch this game and also Eng-Aus game.

 

[pillionrider]

loolll Rameez Raja trolling Waqar about ball tampering now

 

[angrypathan]

Good yorker

 

[globetrotter]

Is my dream of seeing Ind-Pak semi evaporating fast

 

[MMHS]

Who pays for travel and logistics of support staff in ICC tournaments? ICC or respective cricket boards? 15 players is less for long tournaments, every team is dealing with injury and fatigue. I wish they allowed 18 player squad

Travel arrangements (& daily allowances) by the team, accommodation & intra-match travelling by ICC/Host. But, cricket board gets a fund from Guarantee money, even before starting the trip.

Awesome sounds fun.
Possible to send some pics of the crowd ?

 

[IndoorCricket]

loolll Rameez Raja trolling Waqar about ball tampering now

Haha.. I think he was saying its not required for the batters to trash the ball

 

[160KPH]

Did Babar expect rain or something? Hope that is not the case. In cloudy condition batting will be harder.

Was watching the pre match coverage, I think everyone was saying to bowl first due to the cloud coverage + if DLS becomes a factory in the second innings. But the cloud coverage disappeared really quick before the innings.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Everyone thought it was the correct decision. Look at the first few pages of this thread.

Normally yes, would be a good decision even with the current scoreline with NZ. Australia, India and South Africa would still be in the game here.

Pakistan will crumble under pressure in a chase against a bowling machine, let alone international level bowlers.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 187/1 (28 overs).

Shaheen has been benign today. No penetration.

 

[kron]

Ridiculous. They are running away with it. Babar is the worst captain we have had in ages.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Rachin is playing with rauf here. Excellent shot and then giving him a smile

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pure timing. That upper cut by Rachin barely made a sound

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Rauf loves giving boundaries every over. He's been terrible this whole tournament.

 

[kron]

NZ - 187/1 (28 overs).

Shaheen has been benign today. No penetration.

Yep as soon as there is no swing he is rendered useless. Without naseem he has been poor vs big sides. Only bullies minnows.

 

[kron]

Shown some spine for God sake and fight.

 

[mominsaigol]

So after WC what's next? Rizzu as captain? And more praise.

 

[sweep_shot]

Great hit from Rachin. Ramp shot.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

To top off our bowlers leaking boundaries, they have also been bowling wides quite liberally.

 

[Sunzi]

There is more chance of Afghanistan beating SA and Aus than us qualifying for the semis.

 

[sweep_shot]

So after WC what's next? Rizzu as captain? And more praise.

Apart from Rizwan and Shaheen, there is no other option for ODI captaincy.

 

[MMHS]

PAK had to bat here first - if not spin, after 75 overs, in the dry afternoon session there will be lots of reverse here. 275 would have been enough.

If you are to put someone in, you must have a good new ball pair, otherwise no point fielding first on such tracks where whatever moisture, evaporates within 10 overs.

 

[soso_killer]

This Ravindra guy looks solid. Far from a brainless slogger. He's playing proper cricket shots

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Crowd to my right waved at Hasan and he acknowledges, lol.

Can somewhat track SSA's trajectory but Rauf too quick.

Thats one of the disadvantages of sitting behind midwicket or square leg in stadium. with quicks like rauf, it just zips and is a blur. if you were behind long on, you can get a better perspective of speed from both ends.
but tell me -are you allowed to move inside the stadium or just stick to your own stands?

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

lol @ Rauf. Even a part timer would be better.

 

[sweep_shot]

Oh wow.

No wonder he’s loving absolutely smashing our bowlers.

I guess it’s in IND roots to just thrash our bowling.

It has scarred our bowlers starting from Umar Gul in 2011.

He has smashed many teams in this World Cup. Not just Pakistan.

Then again, many batters had great times in this WC (Warner, Kohli, QDK, Klaasen etc.).

 

[7sins]

Time to sleep it's hopeless now no good will come out of this now

 

[Usman Chadda]

If you are to put someone in, you must have a good new ball pair, otherwise no point fielding first on such tracks where whatever moisture, evaporated within 10 overs.

Not a 275 wicket against good opposition, 330+ definitely needed. But Pakistan should definitely have batted first here, they are chasing the game here and will crumble.

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

Smoked

 

[soso_killer]

Babar Azam has effectively booked Pakistan a flight home through his atrocious captaincy.

 

[daytrader]

200 up before the 30 over mark... 400 is on

 

[jnaveen1980]

YeS !!!!!!! That is what we want. what a shot

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Apart from Rizwan and Shaheen, there is no other option for ODI captaincy.

Sarfraz, Shan, Saud, Imad are all superior options compared to dumb and dumber

 

[7sins]

200 already up still 21 overs to go lol

 

[kron]

Problem with rauf is he doesn't use the full length of the crease which means his balls lose pace once it hits the surface of the pitch. Also his release point isn't high so he doesn't rush batsmen.

 

[Sunzi]

We invited them to bat

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

400+ is coming

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 200/1 (29 overs).

Six from Ravindra.

 

[DJhant]

How many overs Rauf bowled without considering any boundary may be an interesting data

 

[ArabKnight]

And they wonder why Karachi quit watching this pathetic team at National Stadium.

 

[Kroll]

This is grim, game nearly gone.

 

[globetrotter]

Is any team scored 400+ in WC? IMO it’s coming today

 

[t_kaay]

I don't know what's worse......Pakistani bowling display or listening to Ramiz & Waqar on commentary.......

 

[MMHS]

Apart from Rizwan and Shaheen, there is no other option for ODI captaincy.

That’s not the case actually- they have invested 6 years in Shadab and he actually makes the playing XI on merit. They can try Imam as well, but he has lost his place.

 

[Hawkeye]

He has smashed many teams in this World Cup. Not just Pakistan.

Then again, many batters had great times in this WC (Warner, Kohli, QDK, Klaasen etc.).

Nobody smashes our bowlers as personally as IND does these days.

They just don’t respect our bowling anymore. Which is what this pathetic bowling lineup deserves too.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan has already been neutralized here and there is no way this team is chasing this huge score coming

 

[mominsaigol]

Apart from Rizwan and Shaheen, there is no other option for ODI captaincy.

Because you groomed no one. Management is messing with everyone's heads I swear

 

[Meenu Rastogi]

Babar Azam has effectively booked Pakistan a flight home through his atrocious captaincy.

What miracle do u expect from him? he can only manage bowlers but cant bowl for them, also Pak hasnt batted yet

 

[Usman Chadda]

Ravindra is so good to watch though, amazing pick up shot against such pace

 

[mrtaim3]

I feel like I just wasted my time waking up at 5 to watch this horror. No fight no aggression. Just giving away soft runs. This team doesn't deserve to be in Semis.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Positive is torture will end today

 

[kron]

Feel for rauf but this is a massive reality check.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

I don't know what's worse......Pakistani bowling display or listening to Ramiz & Waqar on commentary.......

Bangladesh batting display in this WC

 

[sweep_shot]

Williamson is on 65*. Ravindra is on 87*.

Will we see two centuries?

 

[BouncerGuy]

I am sure that if Pakistan had batted first here, They would have scored something around 280 290 and that is it

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now they are set. Even pacers will travel. Lack of wicket taking balls, wicket taking bowlers. are hurting pak. Change the pace.

 

[globetrotter]

Babar already dropped his shoulder…. IMO he should encourage his bowlers, support them

 

[latecut]

There is more chance of Afghanistan beating SA and Aus than us qualifying for the semis.

I actually think Afghanistan will beat South Africa if Afghanistan bats first against South Africa.

 

[WengerOut]

Ramiz, Waqar and Haydos are all in their combined universe while action is going on

 

[t_kaay]

I feel like I just wasted my time waking up at 5 to watch this horror. No fight no aggression. Just giving away soft runs. This team doesn't deserve to be in Semis.

Same, contemplating going back to sleep but I'll end up having nightmares now.....

 

[IndoorCricket]

Looking ominous for Pakistan these two.

 

[soso_killer]

Monster of a 6 that, he's turning 24 in 4 days. I hope NZ don't try to convert him into one of their long list of bits and pieces players. He should concentrate on his batting and on how he can improve. Don't overload him with too much work.

I'll be disappointed if this kid is not amongst the best bats in the world in LOI's (at the minimum) in 4 years time

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Thats one of the disadvantages of sitting behind midwicket or square leg in stadium. with quicks like rauf, it just zips and is a blur. if you were behind long on, you can get a better perspective of speed from both ends.
but tell me -are you allowed to move inside the stadium or just stick to your own stands?

Own stands mostly. Security is tight. They don't want any incident. Copz everywhere behind.

 

[sweep_shot]

Run rate is now 6.94.

NZ can reach 350+ at this rate.

 

[Ab Fan]

NZ on their way to 400.

A flat belter as Chinnaswamy is and small ground where Kiwis batters seem to be better than Pakistani batters.

 

[soso_killer]

Williamson also carrying his weight for the first time in years

 

[Savak]

No quality in the Pakistani team. The preparation for this ODI WC was pathetic and non existent. I hope Babar gets all the abuse in the world for the rest of his career for how he has led the team for the last few years.

 

[chinaman00]

Babar already dropped his shoulder…. IMO he should encourage his bowlers, support them

He actually dropped his shoulders after 4-hours have been bowled. His dejection is contagious and rubbing on all the team.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 211/1 (30 overs).

Drinks break.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jansen's 138k looks faster than Rauf's 150k. May be the way he releases?

 

[MMHS]

I don’t know who could be replacement, but England game should be Rauf’s last ODI (I’m taking that PAK is not making the SF - won’t chase it inside 40 overs, then NZ won’t loose to SRL, and I’m not sure if the Eng game is already in pocket).

He should stick to T20 and can serve PAK for two more T20 WCs

 

[Kroll]

I am sure that if Pakistan ahd batted first here, They would have scored something around 280 290 and that is it

That would have been their target lol. Pathetic team.

 

[mominsaigol]

I am sure that if Pakistan ahd batted first here, They would have scored something around 280 290 and that is it

Obviously, it's a given, but you'll have everyone complaining and saying no no, we'd have easily reached 400+

 

[Usman Chadda]

Now they are set. Even pacers will travel. Lack of wicket taking balls, wicket taking bowlers. are hurting pak. Change the pace.

Whatever chance we had was with the new ball, difficult to dislodge set batters on this pitch once the moisture has disappeared.

NZ should bat us out of the game herez
