New Zealand v Pakistan | 1st ODI | January 31, 2015 | Wellington | New Zealand Innings

[iafzal]

seems Afridi will be our main bowler as he got his drift back.

 

[Justcrazy]

Afridi miles better than hafeez at this stage.

 

[axl100mph]

Afridi showing that he is still is head n shoulders abuv his compatriots, who literally r lambs
And then there r people like [MENTION=1080]miandadrules[/MENTION] who call for his head, and then label me as a fanboy

 

[Sizzling Soul]

He doesnt have pace but has other skills which will be useful in Australia

still he need time to show his skills

 

[Firebreaker]

Whats so special about him?

He is talented bowler and can swing both ways

 

[hur rizvi]

Why are you against Ehsan so much?

No swing no pace, Average trundler

 

[Sizzling Soul]

We dont have any 5th bowler

haris sohail will bowl

 

[Justcrazy]

We dont have any 5th bowler

Pakistan does not need , they will finish the game well before that.

 

[Red Devil]

He is talented bowler and can swing both ways

Yaar I dont see any swing or pace and he sucks at the death. Konsa talent?

 

[axl100mph]

No swing no pace, Average trundler

Spot on

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez playing as specialist fielder for Pakistan

 

[Shafi]

Waqar can not be a good bowling coach because he was not a innovative bowler. He used to get wickets beause of line and length bowling. I rate Zaheer khan a better bowler than him.

 

[Smbhayi]

Pakistan should look at bowl out NZ before 40 overs.. Should try Irfan - Afridi combo..

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Mohammad Irfan also getting phainty, needs to tighten up his bowling here

 

[DilDilPakistan129]

Waqar can not be a good bowling coach because he was not a innovative bowler. He used to get wickets beause of line and length bowling. I rate Zaheer khan a better bowler than him.

Log out, it's time to sleep.

 

[axl100mph]

Lol, what do u call line n length. That guy used to blast teams out

 

[Mr Consistent]

100 up

 

[Firebreaker]

LOL all the bowlers here are struggling but Ehsan is being made spacegoat

 

[Firebreaker]

Yaar I dont see any swing or pace and he sucks at the death. Konsa talent?

Look at his average in FC and If you think he is a trundler than Sadaf might be a trundler too

 

[Sizzling Soul]

LOL all the bowlers here are struggling but Ehsan is being made spacegoat

no one is being made spacegoat,
every bowler except afridi is performing poor ( So far)
but we have matches ahead,
hope for the good

 

[Shafi]

Lol, what do u call line n length. That guy used to blast teams out

I am talking about innovation like Wasim/Steyn/Anderson

 

[Firebreaker]

Gone Irfan takes the wicket

 

[axl100mph]

LOL all the bowlers here are struggling but Ehsan is being made spacegoat

Its coz he is being rated. No 1 is rating the others. Only afridi is up to scratch while irfan is ok. The rest r 'sigh'

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Sizzling Soul]

3rd gone.

 

[Firebreaker]

no one is being made spacegoat,
every bowler except afridi is performing poor ( So far)
but we have matches ahead,

Irfan is bowling pathetic and Bhatti too then why Adil?

 

[Mr Consistent]

wicket for irfan

 

[Firebreaker]

Its coz he is being rated. No 1 is rating the others. Only afridi is up to scratch while irfan is ok. The rest r 'sigh'

Who rated him no 1?

 

[Strike Rate]

WTH was that lol taylor

 

[Ottoman]

Wow. what a ripper

 

[Red Devil]

What a peach!!!

 

[Mr Consistent]

superb delivery

 

[Sizzling Soul]

that's the real irfan, ripper

 

[iafzal]

ya boooyy that how you bowl

 

[Red Devil]

Look at his average in FC and If you think he is a trundler than Sadaf might be a trundler too

He might be, for all I know. I've never seen him bowl.

 

[Shafi]

There are similarities between Misbah and Irfan .
Misbah can not score 100 and Irfan can not take 5 wickets.

 

[Mr Consistent]

wicket maiden

 

[Sizzling Soul]

wkt maiden

 

[m.shah]

good ball

 

[iafzal]

Misbah needs to put a close in fielder on leg side for those bloopers.

 

[Sizzling Soul]

He might be, for all I know. I've never seen him bowl.

if people are talking about avg and bala, then i think zia ul haq, mir hamza, taj wali are better

 

[Usman Chadda]

Irfan is too predictable. Needs to pitch it up occasionally to get the doubts going

 

[Mr Consistent]

Runs

 

[axl100mph]

Who rated him no 1?

Improve ur comprehension skills mate. There is a full stop after rated.

 

[Smbhayi]

Who rated him no 1?

means no one I think.. not no.1

 

[Firebreaker]

Inside edge for four

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Have to say , Irfan barring a few natural beauties, has been horrible today.

If he has an off day, we are going to be chasing 300 plus every game, and I don't know how our batsmen will score anything above 300.

 

[Shafi]

Afridi should take another wicket!!!

 

[Rawstar]

Saw the scorecard.
Why isn't shoaib maksood playing?

We need Junaid. And Hafeez's bowling. Junaid, Irfan, Wahab, Afridi, Hafeez, Harris. Thats the closest we can get to a decent bowling lineup. Without Junaid and Hafeez, I have no faith in our bowling

 

[Hamza_]

Saw the scorecard.
Why isn't shoaib maksood playing?

Younis Khan

 

[Sizzling Soul]

Saw the scorecard.
Why isn't shoaib maksood playing?

because umar akmal playing, and a crap like hafeez

 

[miandadrules]

Afridi showing that he is still is head n shoulders abuv his compatriots, who literally r lambs
And then there r people like [MENTION=1080]miandadrules[/MENTION] who call for his head, and then label me as a fanboy

One swan doesn't make a summer.

 

[axl100mph]

Got to admit, a lot better captaincy by misbah, is trying to attack

 

[Sizzling Soul]

strange batting tactics and style this Elliot have

 

[Rawstar]

Yk needs to be dropped.
Can't understand player like maksood isn't able to make in to playing 11.
He was not even squad in last home series against NZ..

 

[Sizzling Soul]

maqsood indeed is very very good player, a pinch hitter, strike rotator, hope he will play next game

 

[leatherface58]

TTF Elliott is a ticking time bomb. That bomb will likely go off in a crucial moment during the WC.

 

[Sizzling Soul]

Adil not ticking wicket, nor trying to do dots, avg 5.50rpo aprox

 

[Rawstar]

maqsood indeed is very very good player, a pinch hitter, strike rotator, hope he will play next game

He is good hitter of the ball.he can easily clear this nz grounds once he consumes time in middle.
Sarfarz is useless in lower order.
Maqsood to replace Hafeez and Sarfarz to open.You guys will have to bear Yk.
Once Junaid returns,bowling will look more compact.

 

[Mamoon]

Irfan is a 1-2 wicket(s) bowler at best, doesn't have the quality to produce a burst and take wickets in clusters.

Haven't see him do that barring the 4th ODI in South Africa 2012-2013.

Him being dubbed as a match-winner is a direct consequence of the low standard of cricket Pakistan plays these days.

even you know that sarfi is good in opening and we need to drop hafeez,
but our selectors, team management don't know what they are thinking.
indeed we can't drop yk, but need to drop hafeez,
junaid started practicing , hope he'll be available .

Thats what I am saying that people here are blaming Adil for the loss but the other bowlers also bowled badly

 

[Firebreaker]

How has bhatti bowled today , i have missed the match.

So So took 1 wicket nothing special other than that

 

[Sizzling Soul]

Sir we knw about that. No more a secret anymore. U need a ruthless attiyue for that and hv to b a bwler who attacks the stumps.
Amongst the guys available only sami had that ability

 

[Rawstar]

even you know that sarfi is good in opening and we need to drop hafeez,
but our selectors, team management don't know what they are thinking.
indeed we can't drop yk, but need to drop hafeez,

Looks like Indian,Pakistan,Westindies board and management are competiting for who can ruin their team the most.!!

[Saj]

Pakistan looking very flat in the field.

 

[Smbhayi]

so no more hope to Pak in this match.. would like to try Shehzad and YK bowling.. It's obvious yk will play all matches, so try him in bowling dept too.. may he can become Pak's Binny..

 

[JibranAnsari]

So So took 1 wicket nothing special other than that

awfull

OK Thanks.

 

[FreeBird]

Absolutely no innovation, effort or strategy in the captaincy to make something happen.

Just go with the flow and let them win.

 

[Strike Rate]

TTF Elliott is a ticking time bomb. That bomb will likely go off in a crucial moment during the WC.

you were praying for YK to score a 100 we are giving it back to you now!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shehzad , akmal , hafeez and sarfraz need to find some form , things are looking bleak for the WC.

 

[Smbhayi]

Yk needs to be dropped.
Can't understand player like maksood isn't able to make in to playing 11.
He was not even squad in last home series against NZ..

he's injured back then I believe

 

[axl100mph]

Pakistan looking very flat in the field.

Who is this commie who is just trolling ian smith about him not being fit enough that he dhould start working out just he himself went to the gym today

 

[JibranAnsari]

bhatti serving up some pies

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Jeez.

I wasted a day for nothing.

I think I shouldn't take the day off for any Pakistani games.

It's so monotonous and predictable.
