New Zealand (261 all out) beat Pakistan (182 all out) by 79 runs in the 2nd ODI in Karachi

[jnaveen1980]

Why Babar not taking the risks?

Would Kohli or Sharma give strike to Shardul Thakur to hit sixes in this situation?

He is trying to pull off a Dhoni i suppose.

 

[Mean&Green]

It’s crazy everyone has been able to play easily in this pitch except for our best two batsmen Rizwan and Babar

 

[OmaIR1]

Bazid says Babar wants wasim to go after bowling. He is right.

But Babar is the best batsman in the world? And he wants to the bowlers to go for big shots? LMAO.

 

[Markhor]

Babar letting the tailenders take all the risks !

How can you play international cricket for so many years yet still not develop any sort of power game.

 

[MHN1293]

Why Babar not taking the risks?

Would Kohli or Sharma give strike to Shardul Thakur to hit sixes in this situation?

Even kohli would give strike to wasim sobers

 

[jnaveen1980]

Does Babar have 4th 5th gear to manage asking rates in the end?

 

[Abdullah]

Babar needs to take this deep. Aim for 40 if the next 5 and then 50 off the last 4.
No point him just slogging it the air

 

[Syed1]

Does Babar have 4th 5th gear to manage asking rates in the end?

We will be happy if he finds 2nd gear atm lol

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Seems like the plan is to take the game deep

 

[Cric1234]

Single after single needing 10 an over the worlds best batsman Babar Azam.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar lacks that lofted shot against shortish ball from spinners.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need some big boundary overs now

 

[MHN1293]

It went from thinking that Babar will up the ante in the last 20 overs to the last 10 and now he's looking for the last 5. Disappointing

 

[Rana]

Does Babar have 4th 5th gear to manage asking rates in the end?

Bhai 3rd gear tou lag jaye

 

[The_KING]

No intent to hit a boundary from Babar. Pathetic innings from him.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lets see where Babar ends here .

 

[Abdullah]

Really poor cricket. 2 guys getting run out without going for it

 

[imshally81]

Another runout

 

[Syed1]

8.4 overs to go can stat padder get the 30 runs required for ton?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Hate to say it.

Babar just wants his not out.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Rubbish

 

[Rana]

Waseem the well groomed gentleman happy to be run out

 

[Amjid Javed]

Babar doing a good impression of hansie cronje with his declarations in tests and now batting here today

 

[MHN1293]

Someone tell him he can't get his century by taking just singles

 

[jnaveen1980]

Someone who is new to crease will find it harder.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Babar runs another batter out. Babar is the cause of todays loss. Eating up too many balls and not going for it

 

[Devadwal]

This is happened when you give strike to tails rather than dictating himself .

 

[Abdullah]

What was Haris supposed to do when captain at other end is playing for his 50. Agha may soon lose his wicket to as he is having to score for both batsmen.

Just play himself in and take the game deep with babar. Even now the required run rate is ok given it's the last 10 overs but there are no wickets

 

[msb314]

I haven’t given up yet

 

[Amjid Javed]

Babar playing for himself 100 and cutting cake later.

 

[OmaIR1]

These are ODIs, I can't believe this guy is out T20 Captain. He has no power game! WOW.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Now no ifs he needs to go for it now

 

[Cric1234]

Making the tailenders do the hitting then run outs calamity from Babar today.

 

[jnaveen1980]

15 runs partnership ended there 10 of which scored by Mohammad Wasim

 

[The_KING]

Another runout caused by the messiah.

 

[Professionalismandflair]

What was the plan Captain

 

[badsha001]

wow another run out by Babar. This guy should be investigated for illegal and treacherous things. No way anyone can be this incompetent

 

[Justcrazy]

People here need to grow up and understand that Babar is a good batsman , not a impact hitter . Do not expect him to bat like kohli , Gayle , ABD etc.

 

[Mean&Green]

Selfish king that’s the only king he can be Babar

 

[Syed1]

Babar runs another batter out. Babar is the cause of todays loss. Eating up too many balls and not going for it

Oddly enough in his mind he would think he did his job and nobody else stood with him. Not understanding the fact that his tuk tuk was causing others to take undue risk.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I have a theory.

Babar will hit soon because he is in danger of missing out on his century.

Or he will remain Not Out.

Pick one.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Babar keeping the fans at the stadium interested. They are hoping for a miracle.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

This guy babar is brainless.

 

[OmaIR1]

Babar doesn't even protect the tailender, he'll take a single any time. WOW!

 

[jnaveen1980]

15 runs partnership in 19 balls

Wasim 10(13)
Babar 5(6)

This partnership underlines what is happening there

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Whata joke this babar is.

 

[Cric1234]

Babar keeping the fans at the stadium interested. They are hoping for a miracle.

They won’t get one he won’t chase this even if he tries 100 times.

 

[Professionalismandflair]

This is a rudderless thrashing

 

[Champ_Pal]

As long as Babar is there, hope is still there for fans.

 

[imshally81]

Six

 

[Mean&Green]

Why the hell are you running Babar if you’re not gonna take any risk yeah naseem show daddy how it’s done

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

No spine whatsoever. He needs to go for it NOW

 

[MHN1293]

Mind boggling stuff. Now naseem has to do the hitting instead of the captain

 

[boomboomcheema]

Champion knock by Babar..Single handedly keeping Pakistan in the game.

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXX

Babar gets bored here

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I have a theory.

Babar will hit soon because he is in danger of missing out on his century.

Or he will remain Not Out.

Pick one.

Quoted again.

 

[Abdullah]

It is only an all rounder called Salman has made 20 of 18 balls.

Very risky innings that we could have done with a few more off at the back end.
So my strategy would have been take it easy - not lose wickets and go into the last 10 needing hundred and having 7 in hand at the end

 

[Mean&Green]

This is shameful if he can hit a six now he could have done ages ago as well this is beyond selfish this is getting dropped worthy batting

 

[Blackbradman]

Reverse sweep..

 

[TheSultan]

Babar will motor along now to ensure he gets his 100

 

[OmaIR1]

He's getting closer to his personal milestone of 100, I'm worried he may slow down further.

 

[TheSultan]

Quoted again.

You beat me to it

 

[Devadwal]

Finally Babar ia in fift gear .

 

[MHN1293]

Wasn't it obv it he was in what's the need for third umpire

 

[PakPremi]

Oh yeah we forgot NZ are playing at home and grew up playing on these pitches since the time they called roti as chochi.

Nor do Pakistanis pitch does not behave like that in Pakistan normally.

 

[Savak]

Babar beats Misbah when its comes to the most frustrating individual to bear with. That is saying something

 

[boomboomcheema]

Denied a century. Pathetic .

 

[ex-q-zit]

Looks out to me

 

[Blackbradman]

Out

 

[Dr_Bassim]

This is gonna be out.

 

[Abdullah]

Could have done with babar having some hitting practice under pressure here

 

[imshally81]

Out?

 

[Raja111]

Pak (babar& Rizwan) scored 64 in the first 20 overs and
102 from the next 20 overs. Had 30 more been scored in the first 20, there would have been less pressure and wouldn't have lost too many wickets in the end .

 

[Savak]

Deserved to get out for playing such a pathetic innings. So called great batsman

 

[boomboomcheema]

Pakistan must complain and take the issue to ICC.

 

[OmaIR1]

Useless.

He needs to hand over the captaincy to someone else. He has no place in the T20 team that is for sure

 

[jnaveen1980]

Either latham was very lucky or very brilliant. He had a fraction of a second to do that

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Denied a century. Pathetic .

Denied the most useless century.

Good riddance.

 

[badsha001]

mauhahaha. what a way to get out

 

[Devadwal]

Babar gone . another useless statpad inning
