Tuk tuk, tuk tuk

 

[JibranAnsari]

Expecting shehzad to go into hibernation as well.

 

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

Maarooo !!!!

 

[Brilliance]

Azhar is not suited for this format .Playing with an SR of 35.

 

[Belawal2014]

Azhar Ali making Shehzad look aggressive. Now that's saying something.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Yep 25 off 126 balls

I was being sarcastic.

 

[ZAK]

Nice shot for 2 by Shehzad.

On what planet am I sitting here praying that he just gets Shehzad on strike.

 

[street cricketer]

Just now woke up.

Great performance by Pakistan bowling to restrict NZ to 280 odd. Looks like Amir and Anwar ali had a great day.

Now it's up to the batting.

 

[Abdul]

Ahmed Shehzad is looking good so far today.

 

[Azzurri]

I'm more worried about the future of our ODI team . With azhar as our captain and shehzad and hafeez confirmed in the playing eleven we are getting deeper in the hole

Reminds me of our previous Kaptaan Sahib.

Yeah pretty much but the problem is that Misbah at least could take the spinners to the cleaners therefore his phasing out the spinners made sense. What is Azhar backing himself here for ???? He doesn't have the same power game as Misbah against spinners nor can he score against pace post PP overs.

His best chance for achieving an better aggregate SR was to go all guns blazing during PP and then then try to make it 4 RPO during mid game. But there is only so much you can expect from Pakistani Batsmen - No brain cells whatsoever

 

[yasir]

Now they are rotating strike... Couple of boundaries we will be fine... I am expecting 25/30 runs in next 3/4 overs..

 

[Aman]

Boult looking really good

 

[ZAK]

Wide.

Dude we had them at 99/6, Azhar let them back into the game by bringing himself to bowl lol.

[pasha404]

going nowhere

 

[ZAK]

Boult needs to be seen off by these two. He looks dangerous.

NZ were 99/6 at one point NZ tailenders scored something like 70 odd in the last 5. Lanat.

 

[razabbas]

Seriously by azhar HAHAHAHAHHAHA

 

[Adil_94]

As usual a typical dead start

Eye had to be kept on over rate.

 

[Belawal2014]

ATTTAAAABOY! Smash some moree!

 

[ZAK]

Lovely flicked six by Azhar. That's the way to go skipper.

As a matter of fact that was some terrible mid to late game bowling I've ever seen. They were 99/6 and we let them reach 280ish - Tactical blunder by AA essentially here.

When you let the #8, #9, and #10 be the 2nd and 3rd highest run getters in a line up you have essentially failed as a bowling unit. Either way it doesn't really matter cuz we are no way chasing this down.

 

[Abdul]

Beautiful shot that.

 

[Belawal2014]

Wouldn't have mattered if we'd bowled em out...

 

[angrypathan]

3 runs, azhar getting a move on now

Nice six there, perhaps this is his method. Don't understand why it has to be dots+boundaries.

 

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

MISBAH CLONE
tuk tuk tuk
BANG !!

 

[ZAK]

Now a lovely straight drive for 3 by AA. Keep going.

We are stuck in 90's people. It is extremely unfortunate that we don't have anyone who can lead our ODI side . Because nobody has a fixed place in the team.

 

[Abdul]

That deserved to go for the four.

 

[cricfan14]

After taking up all the deliveries, Azhar and Shehzad HAVE to stick around a bit. Go slow, that's fine

 

[ZAK]

33/0 after 8 overs.

Wouldn't have mattered if they were Bowled out within 40 over.

 

[JibranAnsari]

A plethora of dots and a 6 , truly becoming misbahs apprentice

 

[yasir]

AA has played well... People as usual are after him with knifes

 

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

get over it

 

[MenInG]

Excellent start from Pakistan - great platform being built here.

 

[shah_1]

Amir is a better bowler than Boult after watching them bowl today

 

[jog_1]

Chill guys, so far so good.

Keeping wickets in hand is key, we can accelerate later esp against the part timers.

 

[JilaWatan]

I hope really their plan is to up the run rate every ten overs or so. They can't play stupid. Hard work of seeing off the ball is done. Just keep ticking over the score

If someone calls out Shehzad for playing a barrage of dots then Azhar deserves the same.

Upto him to make up for it.

 

[Belawal2014]

Both of our openers can't rotate the strike. Oh lord..

 

[angrypathan]

very poor shot from Azhar always gift Elliott wickets

 

[IcedCoffee]

Tuk Tuk out

 

[Space Cat]

Grant Steyn strikes.

 

[Belawal2014]

...lol good job Azhar.

 

[ZAK]

Stupid shot by Azhar.

Azhar out after playing a poor innings.

 

[Abdullah719]

Aaraam se, don't need run outs. Hafeez is in next anyway.

Edit:

 

[pasha404]

This return

 

[in_cutter]

Disgusting shot to get out on

 

[The_KING]

Because they can't rotate the strike. That is the case with most of our batsmen.

 

[pasha404]

wicket to elliot

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Tuk Tuk jr gone.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pathetic innings comes to an end.

 

[shah_1]

Umar Amin should open instead of this rubbish.

 

[Belawal2014]

Shahzad-like innings from Azhar Ali. Good going man, good going.

 

[Azzurri]

Need to get rid of Azhar , Shahzad and sarfraz ASAP

Send in pinch hitter

 

[pasha404]

get rid of this pathetic Azhar

 

[Suleiman]

we're losing wickets to part timers, nothing new.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Another walking wicket coming in.

 

[hur rizvi]

Useless slog from Azhar

 

[Space Cat]

Amir is a better bowler than Boult after watching them bowl today

Boult is the number 1 ranked ODI bowler at the moment. I don't think Amir is that great yet.

 

[cricfan14]

Complete FAILURE of a match from Azhar. Sack him, seriously. Wasted all those deliveries and didn't stay around enough to make it up.

 

[jog_1]

Yeah, we need a new captain.

 

[Belawal2014]

Hafeez will induce a run out. Likh lo.

 

[street cricketer]

Oh okay. Just now saw. Damn that's terrible.

Looks like a kiwi tail wagged a little too much for Pak's liking at the end. Looks like Anwar ali isn't so bad afterall. Amir has been excellent too. Btw who's this Nicholls guy..

 

[hur rizvi]

Even 115-120 kph swingers are troublesome for us

Professor saab is in class now.

Captain "Poor man's Misbah" is out. Only in Pakistan, he could be the captain of the ODI team.
