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

[MenInG]

From 99/6 - 280/9!

Pakistan have work cut out!

 

[waleed88]

Its a gamble. As Henry and Mc showed, NZ bat deep. Amir got injured too. And Irfan was bowled out by 40.

We were playing with 2 short bowlers after 40 overs. Nobody took Amir's absence into account.

Maybe azhar didn't bowl Amir out coz of his niggle.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Just terrible from Azhar. Brought NZ back into the game when they had no chance.

 

[jog_1]

212 all out

 

[Sadevdesai]

NZ scored twice of what they should have scored !!!!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pakistan can still chase this.

Just go out and bat.

There is more of a chance they will lose anyway, so just go and play their shots.

 

[cricfan14]

We're not going to make it to 200.

NZ bat deep.

Meanwhile we have Shehzad/Azhar = the worst. Hafeez, who is a bunny when there's a chase. No Malik to construct an innings. Maqsood, who is a walking duck. Babar is good but playing first match in tough conditions. Sarfraz can't play pace and he's going to get a lot of pace on this wicket. Amir is hurt. Irfan can't bat. Wahab is a fake batsman.

This is a TERRIBLE ODI lineup.

Pretty much.

If you bat sensibly, you should get there.

It's not 300+ so you shouldn't really have to content with scoreboard pressure.

 

[Abdul]

Looking forward to see Azhar Ali bat - hoping that he does well.

 

[waleed88]

How do you know? Did you know Mcleneghen and Henry bat that well? Probably batted better than Afridi has in these last 2 years.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Just need a solid start from openers, we can do better IA.

 

[Sadevdesai]

We have met the enemy .... and he is us !!!!!

 

[Yanna_Rascala]

Even Chris Martin looked like a better batsman than Afridi at times. So let's not compare these 2 NZ pacers with someone like Afridi.

 

[badsha001]

Azhar Ali got this

Define solid. I am expecting a 40-1 or if we are lucky 45-2 sort of a start with either Shehzad wasting a lot of deliveries and getting out or edging to slip in the first 2-3 overs.

 

[The_KING]

210 all out.

 

[jog_1]

There should be no immediate hurry in this chase. they should just aim for 5 an over the first ten and go from there. As long as they don't panic we can hopefully get somewhere close to 280

 

[Aman]

Momentum is with us, we need to take quick wickets up front to put Pakistan under the pump.

That's like asking a duck not to quack.

 

[Jabo]

Not going to be easy, if we do win, it'll probably be just with 2 balls to spare.

I think we get balled out for 180ish

Looking forward to see what Azhar does, didn't do that great against England.

Shahzad/Maqsood both look lost in the T20 games

 

[cricfan14]

We have about 4/5 automatic wickets within 10 runs on this squad

 

[JibranAnsari]

We will fold under 200.

A 5 fed for mclenhangen expected.

 

[Brilliance]

My hopes lie on Babar and Imad. I am sure they will come good. Sarfaraz needs to cone up with a good performance.

 

[Brilliance]

Shoaib Malik will be missed here.

 

[Belawal2014]

Azhar Ali needs to not dance around in his crease. There's pace on offer from the NZ boys.

I'm just hoping there isn't another run-out debacle

 

[cricfan14]

By the way, I really wish we had ANYONE with the body type of these NZ players. Big and strong, all of them in shape.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Momentum is with us, we need to take quick wickets up front to put Pakistan under the pump.

I'd be disappointed if you guys lose. Hope we lose every single match so Azhar gets sacked.

 

[The Yorker]

It's going to be ugly . We need to be lucky. Azhar is fighting for is right to be Captain. He had been a complete failure in his decision making. Instead of going for the jugular, he sat back and allowed NZ back in the match. However NZ have some remarkable, brave and lucky cricketers in their team.

 

[ZAK]

Wide.

Tough task

I'm with you on this.

Wasn't convinced of his poor captaincy a couple months back; I am now.

 

[DesiPassion]

let's hope we don't play like Misbah or waste over with Tuktuk

 

[Brilliance]

Still can't believe they gave away 280.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sohaib ahead of rizwan? Is Waqar on drugs?

 

[ZAK]

1/0 after 1.

Whatever. I only hope he's okay. No need to rush him in for a meaningless ODI.

 

[DesiPassion]

Soooooo it starts!!!! Test match Tuktuk

 

[Brilliance]

Probably so!

 

[razabbas]

This looks bad get well soon mitch

On a positive note we wont be facing one fast bowler

 

[JibranAnsari]

Its not azhars fault that wahab the Watson destroyer got hit for 40 runs in his last 2 overseas by a number 10. Stop bashing azhar.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Single on first ball, good Shezzi

 

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk
tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk
tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk
OUT !!!
BOYS tried but things did'nt go our way !!

 

[ZAK]

Shehzad off the mark.

Good thing for Pak is that mcclenagan prob wont bowl

Been through this many times... hoping we lose X matches so that Y player is dropped.

We lose the X matches, but Y player usually stays.

This not a bloody test match

Damn that really looks bad.

Patronising attitude by some as they'll be willing to see a team lose based on their personal dislikeness.

Get used to this top order nonsense now people.

 

[Aman]

Yeah, no way Mitch is going to bowl.

Hopefully it isn't too serious, we'll need him for the Aussies.

 

[IcedCoffee]

They batted that well because there was no pressure, which became the case thanks to Azhar's tactics.

 

[MMHS]

Damn that really looks bad.

I am almost certain, he has a hairline fracture of eyebrow.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Always knew I could rely on you comrade.

 

[Space Cat]

Boults pace looking better

 

[Aman]

Good over from Boult.

Got a few up to 138kph as well.

 

[Shafi]

Tuk tuk chasing 280

 

[razabbas]

Azhar the kaptan

 

[Azzurri]

What rubbish is this team and this captain [emoji856]

Plan now is to play like a bunch of imbeciles. "See of the new ball" like it's the 1960s not try to score off it. That is illegal.

Azhar is doing his great to make middle order great (that is if PAK is to win, some one is to sore 100 of 70 ...)

9 dots so far & counting

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Yep Azhar becoming Tuk Tuk Jr.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Azhar 11 dot balls lol.

 

[Abdullah719]

Patronising attitude by some as they'll be willing to see a team lose based on their personal dislikeness.

Technically it's for the long term betterment.


Looks like Azhar is hoping to chase this by Tea on Day 2.

 

[#GreenRoars]

First 2 overs, 2 runs. Good news is 0 out.

 

[cricfan14]

Mashallah Azhar, predictably terrible

 

[tigerkhan]

and the competition of who plays the most dot balls begins LOL

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think anyone who opens like this in this day and age in odi cricket should be sent to jail.

Same goes for people regarding Amir and his place in the team. Double-edged sword isn't it?

 

[DesiPassion]

This is why I hate Misbah! He left his Tuktuk legacy! He was a cancer to Pakistan odi team

 

[ZAK]

254 is the highest toal chased at the basin reserve. That's not very inspiring.

DEFINITELY - blow out fracture of left orbit

 

[Aman]

Azhar still not off the mark after 11 deliveries.

 

[DesiPassion]

stop with Tuktuk! This is not a bloody test match for god sake

 

[coy0607]

another cracking start by the Pakistani openers- led from the front by the Captain with 0 off 11...


really, why the hell is this guy in the Limited Over team- does anyone have an answer to this?

 

[IcedCoffee]

There should be a one match ban for the captain for poor RR exclusively for the Pakistani team.
