What's new

New Zealand (344/9) defeat Pakistan (271) by 73 runs in the first ODI to lead the 3-match series 1-0

Thank you NZ for turning an average 220 pitch into a 350 score so that Zimbu and Legwan don’t have the excuse to play at 30 strike rates
We talk lot about Rizbar and their failures.. need to talk about terrible bowling we have been doing since Colombo 2023
 
What was that speech

“Meeereeey Paaakistaaaniyoooo

Ab maine faisla kiya hai ke main apne mulk ki cricket theeek karuuuun gaaaaaaaa!!!”


Ho gayi theek????????
 
There’s 100s of talented Pakistanis like Abbas in Pakistan, who just don’t have the skills development that NZ system offers.

From such a small pool, NZ is able to squeeze out juice time and again.

No its the ability of the player that makes all the difference.

It takes us 10 years to find a Saim. We can't lose batting talents like this.

What makes it worse is we get dross like Usman Khan and Tayyab.

They have access to Australia that's why
 
Seems like pitch was helpful in the first 15 overs looking at the run rate. I am sure NZ decided to target 5th bowler.
 
I suspect Pakistan went with 7 batsmen being afraid of top order collapse. 7th batsman is basically there to cover the failures of top order. If you go in with 4 bowlers who are hit or miss with bat that means all the runs have to come from top 7. Since Pakistan has no genuine AR they settled for this combo. It is also dangerous to go with 6 batsmen. Without all rounders in pace friendly conditions pakistan cannot get a balanced team
Pakistan won ODI series in Aus and SA with this strategy. 4 genuine bowlers + part timers. They went with same strategy here. Difference was that then we had Saim who is more than just a part timer as he can spin it both ways. Moreover, short square boundaries here means Salman was redundant. Rizwan could have immediately rectified that had he realized it earlier and gave overs to Irfan around 25 over mark when Kiwis were still defensive and wicket had seam movement.

Rizwan made massive tactical blunder today that cost us a hundred extra runs !
 
Chalo enough of this rouna douna, time to support the team. Don’t lose early wickets and fight it out.
 
but they do have Pakistani Genes
NZ has Australia thats why.

Australia, NZ and aus passport holders can literally live in each other countries with zero consequence. Hence these lads tend to even share a domestic structure.

It's very common for NZ school cricket kids to travel and play aussie school cricket kids and they get exposed to Bilo bounce and swingy pitches early on in their cricketing lives

And they share their outdoorsy atheleticism as well. Both NZ and Aus have the exact same cricketing structure however the reason aus is superior is because their population is just larger so a a higher talent pool and more selective systems.

An aussie B tier cricketer from his school days who can't get into his school team can easily swap countries, move to NZ and get fast tracked into NZ A tier school team.

Saim is 20x the bowler salman is.

Still it is way too risky to go with this strategy. Ever since the field restriction rule was changed in 2015, these part timers have become redundant. You need a bit of purchase to use part timers. On pitches like this where there was hardly any turn it was suicidal.The side effect of this strategy is Rizwan used up all the resources way too early.
 
My not so bold predictions for Pakistan innings. They will get in an Early hole. 2 or 3 wickets down in the first 10. Then they tuk tuk their way to 175 and then get out in the 30 to 40 overs trying to accelerate. All out 207
 
It wouldn't matter if regular talent was coming through but it's not. We are left with some of the filthiest hacks that we have to make do with.
 
Fastest fifties on Men's ODI debut:

24 balls - Muhammad Abbas, NZ vs PAK, 2025

26 balls - Krunal Pandya, IND vs ENG, 2021

26 balls - Alick Athanaze, WI vs UAE, 2023

33 balls - Ishan Kishan, IND vs SL, 2021

35 balls - Roland Butcher, ENG vs AUS, 1980

35 balls - John Morris, ENG vs NZ, 1990

lol Wow krunal pandya. I rememebr that match. HE destroyed Mark wood.
 
You have clowns like Mamoon telling us here that Rizwan walks into Australia’s white ball sides as a keeper

This fraud has a 160iq apparently
160 IQ would put him = to Einstein and Hawking who have an iq of 160 lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

People don't understand in tests. Taking a test on your Samsung phone through fraud apps and receiving a 160 score is not the same 🤣🤣🤣.

Even IQ test scores aren't taken seriously. The only accurate measurements of IQ have been people on academic fields who've had years of scientific contributions and hence people have been able to determine their Iaq based of their thinking process and research ability.

Not the same as taking a test at an IQ center and getting a 200 score 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

No one on PP including myself have an IQ of 150.

Isaacs Newton himself has an IQ of 190, so Mamoon is only 30 points below Newton in terms of intelligence and had he been born in ww1 he could have been an assest to Einstein?

Original Mamoon did, this current account hacker has a 60iq
 
How quickly wiki is updated. Must be AI-generated?

Yes. This is where we should have Aamir Jamal but part time chairman is interested in zooming into hats of players.
 
Another scintillating performance by Naseem Shah.

But but but he bowled economically earlier?

Yeah couldn't take wickets on a helpful pitch and went for runs later.
 
Over/under 9.5 runs for Usman Khan? I am taking the under.

Over/under 0.5 runs for Abdullah? Hot take - Abdullah finally scores more than duck.
 
Do we also have a fake mamoon??
Dint know this thing.
Naw we don't, it's just Mamoon use to be the ultimate Indian fan and ultimate Pakistani hater.

Mamoon would originally feast on posters like heddie who aren't really professional posters and mostly casual fans who just enjoy supporting babar.

One day however mamoon had a heel turn supporting babar and bringing about arguments that support Ba/riz
We got claims like babar > Saaed Anwar as a batsmen.

Zaheer is a 3rd rate test cricket and babar is better then zaheer and what not.

Afterwards he got exposed since he went up against me, you, yousafthebeast and various other posters who can actually argue with logic and facts and aren't just casual fans.

Nothing wrong with being a casual fan, but taking pride in bullying them in an argument and acting like your the king is just funny 🤣🤣🤣

Nevertheless He doesn't post much now.
 
Usman Khan completely lucky to survive that edge. Dude looks like a tail ender the way he bats.
 
Somebody has to replicate Abbas cameo. But who will replicate extras performance of Pakistan? They conceded over 40 runs
 
Well thank you Imran Khan, Wasim Khan, Misbah ul Haq and Muhammad Rizwan.
How is that their fault? Your system hasn’t produced a world class player since the early 2000s. Cricket has evolved and so has the attention of current generation who live more
in the virtual world. There is no talent in the domestic. And there is no way, PCB would go above and beyond to unearth hidden talents.

The only way i see Pakistan getting better players is when the government forces schools, colleges and universities to give more importance to sports. Otherwise you’ll keep getting frauds like Usman Khan who can’t even hold the bat properly.
 
Good from Usman. Both Abdullah and Usman don't have technique to survive here. They should look to play horizontal bat shots. That is how Fakhar succeeded here.
 
These bowlers know how to utilize these pitches so well. Our guys have no idea how to bowl here. Its so sad
 
They don't have camera work to even check if it's a boundary or 6? Poor quality stuff from NZ.

What makes it worse is we get dross like Usman Khan and Tayyab.
Saim Ayub has natural talent, but he’s also coached by Mohd Masrur who also coached Saud Shakeel.
it’s unlikely that the rare Pakistani who moved to NZ had all the talent, but literally millions of Pakistanis born here don’t.
 
Yes he always "looks" good and beats the bat once or twice. In the end always ends up with awful figures. Story of his career.
Not once or twice. Plenty of inside and outside edges not to mention drop catch of Chapman early on. Was unlucky.
 
At least they're looking to attack I suppose. Already have nearly as many runs as they did in the PP in the CT match vs NZ (22).
