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

[Barragan]

Santner escapes

 

[MMHS]

Can you imagine how strong Pakistan would be if you added Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif to this team?

At a time when South Africa is in decline, Australia are flat track bullies and England can't bowl in Asia, Pakistan and India would be the two outstanding teams in world cricket.

Asif is almost 35, how long can he carry? Butt I understand, should make the ODI side over Ahmed; but PAK Test side is quite settled. We can't drop players on hypothesis that they'll fail in UK. If MoHa agrees to bat at 6, may be Butt can open with Azhar with Asad at 3. But, if Misbah retires, probably Haris & Amin deserves more than Butt in his slot - YK should carry for another 2 years.

Nah, we just need to introduce Majid Ali now.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Nz looking to see off Amir and Irfan.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Good effort from Sarfy

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Where was Sarfraz??

 

[ExplicitAI]

Just to note that we still haven't bowled Imad yet

 

[Aman]

This is a great wicket. Got tired of seeing all the batathons.

 

[cricfan14]

AGHHH you need your fielders tight Azhar, that would've been a wicket!!

 

[yasir]

Desperate bouncer from Amir here.

That a huge advantage of Amir, he is 140k bowler, can bowl all lengths, can take wickets on bouncers like Wahab and Irfan!!!

[Eagle_Eye]

[ZAK]

Yeah, go ahead and blame the wicket for your poor display! the fact is, Pak are simply too good for your army of jobbers

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

That deflection could have hit the wicket and Nichols looked outside the crease.

The catch just dropping slightly out of reach.


Small moments that can turn big ...

I still think with more cricket he will get faster and will be more threatening.

No choice now but to bring Imad

 

[ask_analyse_act]

poor stuff from sarfraz... this guy labelled as busy cricketer is going the lazy way, which not very good

 

[Eagle_Eye]

That slow replay wasn't very kind on sarfraz. He needs to shed some weight

 

[cricfan14]

Azhar if you're going to use ALL your pacers, you really have to bring all your fielders in tight

 

[dhump]

He need to cut some weight soon.

Sarfraz is absolute unfit for a WK - must lose 10-12 G weight or should lose his spot.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yup

 

[ZAK]

Another tight over from Irfan comes to an end.

Why not he could be a decent bowler had a bad day last T20.

Imad on

Yes he will, 140k bowler is asset in an era, on any wicket and format... Now we have two who can play all three format... Team shoutout be built around them!!

[Colt]

Is this the first time in Pakistans history that we've bowled over half the overs and yet no sign of a spinner..

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfraz please dont drop stuff.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Finally Imad is on now.

 

[cricfan14]

Seriously the wicket is such that if you let them get to 200 we could still lose.

YOU HAVE TO ATTACK

 

[MMHS]

No.

 

[Stewie]

Sarfraz does look over weight.. needs to get back into shape.. he is the best keeper we have..

 

[Colt]

We aren't chasing anything over 220

He is half a pacer [emoji23].

[Asadullah]

Another drop

 

[IcedCoffee]

Good by Amir

His fans will be ecstatic
His haters should be too, looks like we shouldn't be losing this game

Anyone also got any information about ross Taylor and what his injuries are?

Think he's out of tests too. Very disappointing. Aus favs now.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Dropped by Babar.... Wouldve been a screamer

 

[#GreenRoars]

Babar is a fine fielder yaar Should have caught it

 

[Barragan]

Dropped but tough chance

 

[IcedCoffee]

Another drop

Was tough chance. Least effort was good.

 

[dhump]

Man take these special catches really..other teams do this more often...

Frustrating

[cricfan14]

AGHHHH so many chances!!!! Need to bowl em out

 

[#GreenRoars]

Come on, should have caught it yaar.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Hafeez drop really hurting us now.

 

[hussain.r97]

Good effort. It was a lot harder than it looked.

For a moment, I thought babar was going to catch it with his mouth!

 

[hussain.r97]

That should not have been 4

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Dammit another 4. Get someone else at third man!! Keep irfan at mid on or something

 

[BigBoy123]

Irfan is rubbish fielder Wahab is rubbish bowler

Irfan can't run

 

[ritzy_123]

It was a tough chance

 

[Zeshan547]

Babar is not a bad fielder himself and this was a great try but his cousin is better atleast in fielding, i mean junior would have taken this 10 out of 10 times.

 

[cricfan14]

Really feel like we should have a couple more wickets given the pressure and chances

Cannot let them escape with 200

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lala influence

Good one

 

[MMHS]

Actually, as long as he reached to the ball, it was not that difficult chance. These are catches that wins you match - in last 15 minutes, PAK failed to cash on 2 skiers to the batting last pair, which is not a good sign.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Need to get them all out before 160

 

[hussain.r97]

Amir's back on the field.

 

[cricfan14]

Wahab's let all the pressure off. You have to get one more wicket and SOON

 

[cricfan14]

These commies are NOT liking the field placements at all

 

[#GreenRoars]

Need to break this partnership, can be dangerous yaar.

 

[pacefan]

Needs to attack more! Azhar ATTACK!!!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan need to bowl them out for under 200.

 

[Shafi]

Hafeez's drop may cost us this match considering we have Shehzad, Maqsood and Hafeez are useless batsmen

 

[cricfan14]

Need to break this partnership, can be dangerous yaar.

Yeah one more wicket makes the difference. Letting them just survive for another 10 overs is not good.

Remember, a tough wicket for NZ batsmen is like 2x as hard for us!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Catches dropped won't help at all. Fielding has been poor.
