New Zealand v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Wellington | Jan 25, 2016 | New Zealand innings

[hussain.r97]

Getting worried about Boult now, if Anwar is getting this much, so will Boult.

 

[yasir]

I don't thin Anwar is swing, he is seaming the ball well... I think one factor is his pace, at 125k seam is griping the surface... At 140 it is skidding... If Amir was bowling at 130 he might have gone seam as well..

I bet Boult would be bowling at less than 130... I remember NZ medium pacers Mills and co using to seam a lot at 125k clicks in such conditions....

Lol Anwar bowling 125k bouncer.

Stick to what you're doing good

 

[dhump]

Anwar Ali is so slow.... The wind is moving the ball away from lefties

He is bowling well as long as he keeps it fuller...shorter balls are like gift wrapped pies.

Good bowling Anwar Ali.

After a long, long, long ................ long years later, PAK is playing with 4 pacers & the result isn't that bad. Home isolation didn't cost PAK that much as the UAE wicket. I am sure, if they play more matches anywhere but those UAE wickets, batsmen will improve on back foot game, horizontal bat shots & hit on the rise. It's a must that PAK should stop playing games in UAE - SRL, BD, NZ, ENG, IND, SAF where ever possible, but not in UAE. May be few Test matches, but UAE wickets are worst for LO.

What we need is to start playing in PAK again.

As per Cricinfo

 

[ExplicitAI]

I admire NZ's positive approach whilst losing wickets, they've not gone into a shell

 

[Asadullah]

All six balls were short. Why is he worried to bowl full which earned him rewards?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Imad time? I like it when we play 4 pacers like in world cup

 

[#GreenRoars]

Amir into attack, aggressive captaincy.

250 is a good score here btw - we can't chase well and this isn't an easy wicket.

 

[razabbas]

Wow amir back azhar is going hard on NZL

 

[Asadullah]

Good captaincy, Amir back

 

[Barragan]

Amir back.

Just hit a good length and line.

Good move.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir should try a yorker

 

[ZAK]

Good decision by Azhar. Keep coming hard at them, don't let up.

The only team that goes into shell is Pakistan

 

[MMHS]

If I were Azhar, I would have brought back Aamir & Irfan for 2 overs each & get Anderson out. PAK is best when they play attacking game, as they are not good in cat & mouse. If Anderson is knocked off now, NZ 'll struggle to finish 50 overs & he is struggling.

 

[Barragan]

What was the need for that bouncer?

Just hit a good length.

 

[Asadullah]

WHY THE HECK ARE THEY BOwLING SHORT !!

 

[ChachaCricket]

Serious bounce from Amir.

 

[ChachaCricket]

^Lol just be quiet and watch.

 

[MMHS]

As I was writing, comes back Aamir. But, probably Irfan is more appropriate as he struggles in his 3rd spell.

Good bouncer from Amir, pitty it went for 4

 

[ExplicitAI]

That was a bad one

 

[Eagle_Eye]

For Nicholl I would put in a gully

Azhar isnt as bad a captain as people make him out to be. Playing 4 pacers does help the captain though

 

[MMHS]

The bouncer was right approach - Anderson is swinging blind, but not the execution; it must be fuller bouncer. The match is at Basin & it's not a Rugby ground; miscued top edges won't fetch cheap 6 runs.

 

[Asadullah]

Anwar Ali to bowl on the trot. Not a bad strategy, save pace for later

 

[cricfan14]

I'm not sure Irfan has the stamina right now to bowl at death - just use his overs now and go for the kill!

 

[hussain.r97]

Anwar should go around the wicket and pitch it at a good length on the off stump channel. Might get another one that way.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Andersons gone into a shell. Have a feeling catch is coming soon. Haha Ramiz just called Anwar, Irfan Ali

 

[MMHS]

If he is not careful, he 'll sit in 3rd ODI. 19 overs in 100 minutes .............

 

[waleed88]

Anwar ali is bowling into the breeze. This allows lateral movement and a natural in swing into the right hander.

This shows he has some of that 2006 natural in swing.

But that swing is weather and pitch dependent.

Seriosuly? Bouncers at 123ks? Not in today's cricket dude

 

[IcedCoffee]

Why doesn't Anwar come around-the-wicket for Lefties?

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Pakistan team rocking this New Zealand C team!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What kind of shot is that.

 

[IAJ]

Lols Irfan Ali, Rambo has lost it

 

[Colt]

Did Rameez just say Irfan Ali lol

 

[#GreenRoars]

Smashed it for

 

[ZAK]

Anderson smashes Anwar for four.

True... But Imad bowls his overs quick

 

[90MPH]

Anwar don't bang the ball in.

Just bowl the fuller length.

No more in a shell now

 

[BigBoy123]

OK enough ..time to sleep..good night .. Except Anu all Pakistanis have bowled too short including amir

Fuller means, closer to batsman, so the ball crosses batsman it rib height; it's not slower.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

anwar Ali bowling short at 125..... What else does he expect?

 

[yasir]

Amir should have bowled couple of full length deliveries... Attack more, try to take wickets... Short or full both are att king lengths here, good is defensive

Ramiz tryna be funny. Came off as lame

Naa it was just 1 boundary. Hes not timing it at all

Why doesn't Anwar come around-the-wicket for Lefties?

It's no swing mate, it's seam movement.

He has improved his Seam position as it was too scrambled before.

He just needs to keep bowling that driving length to be effective. Banging the ball in pointless.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Time for Imad after this?

 

[Asadullah]

Naa it was just 1 boundary. Hes not timing it at all

He's going for it anyways. Not dead-batting it like we do

Correct. Anwar is seaming and the pitch is gripping the slower ones.

Boult relies on swing, which isn't on offer. Might swing in the first over or two only, like in Amir's case today.

 

[dhump]

Come on Amir wicket needed here.

Amir has been impressive

 

[cricfan14]

There must be intense pressure on Azhar today but so far I can appreciate the decision making.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Close.. Almost a wicket there

 

[Asadullah]

If Amir cant swing it in New Zealand under clouds, he can't do it anywhere

 

[dhump]

Lucky anderson he hacked this one poorly.

Amir takes second. Woaah

 

[MMHS]

What Anderson is trying is to release some pressure - the best way to counter this is to keep attacking & the Aussies were best in that. However, the telling difference is that the Aussies knew how to catch - Sanath, Sehwag, Gilly, Symonds, Kluesner, Gayle kept bullying PAK for 2 decades for the pathetic catching in similar situations.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Out!! [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] Sarfraz almost dropped it. Great move by Azhar to bring Amir

 

[90MPH]

YES Amir.

Hafeez with the high five to Amir, lol
