I hope Rameez hasn't jinxed Babar by praising him too much.

They are going a bit too slow pressure would mount and they would give away the wickets.
 
Imran Farhat or even Kamran Akmal/Butt are better opening batsmen than these 2s
 
What the hell is this WASP thing on the screen guys?

It is all the mistake of Azhar Ali.Kept building pressure with a dot on another.Then holed out to mid-on, now Shehzad follows with the mounting pressure. I am sure the management will now be thinking about the post match conferences. Something like " Our bowlers couldn't plane their yorkers" , " We had plans against all of them but they could've couldn't execute".
"We had a plan regarding the chase but we were unlucky".
 
1 four & 1 SIX in first 75 balls - that's why Afridi is a legend in PAK cricket.
 
Hopefully we can get rid of some proven hacks after this series

Absolutely.

The matches are completely meaningless as events, but serve the vital function of hopefully getting Ahmed Shehzad and Mohammad Hafeez exposed as liabilities outside Asia.
 
Wonder what Waqar and co plan for the odi team , all the teams in the world bat aggressively these days no matter what the result but we play boring dull cricket with defeatist mindset.
 
Williamson didnt have Pakistan 6 down when he went to elliot and with Pakistan's history against Dibbly Doobly swingers his decision was spot on

Yea williamson did it when Pak were two down? Who is the more aggressive captain? Hint hint : Your fast bowlers didn't have any overs left. He bowled 8 overs of your top 2 bowlers.
 
NZ is doing exactly what a cunnning Captain 'll do. They have a target to defend, not bowling first. Now, here they are

1. quickly making up that 10 overs as early as possible. 280 is not a total that you must get the side all-out. Can defend the total by restricting.
2. double bluffing PAK - Azhar has put his team in a position that they need 6.5 inside 10 overs. Now, these part times has to go at 7 for PAK to have any chance - that has given already a bonus wicket.

If you can keep the asking building with you part-timers, defending a big total, that's trick.

2 down - again Elliot, 3 more to get.

I call it defensive mentality. If this was Mccullum. He'd bowl pace and get the team all out.

Speaking like a true Pakistani.
 
Since I made that joke about Elliott getting a five-fer in the 3rd T20, he has indeed picked up 5 wickets against us. :facepalm: Amateurs.
 
The next person to come in would be Sohaib Maqsood unless Sarfraz Ahmed gets promoted - the struggle!
 
Absolutely.

Whats your beef with Mohammad Hafeez? He's the only player that performs. Surely you did not see the discrepany of stats between Hafeez and Shez to be including them in the same category.
 
48/2 after 14 overs.

Masha'Allah, 7 overs, 2-20 off Elliott and Anderson. Reminiscent of Waqar and Wasim bowling in tandem.
 
Shut up Rameez. Don't jinx the lad.

He just wants to acts like he is some superfan of Pakistan cricket who knows better than anymore.
 
Pakistani batsmen (all of them) can only take single if ball is on the pads.. This is tail under stuff... They cannot score anywhere else...pretty pathetic... This is how they play test cricket in UAE, block or leave all balls, except if its on the legs... All day they will not score runs on the off side :facepalm:
 
NZ should play their U-19 team against us to make this game interesting
 
Hafeez cuts for 2 more.

Hafeez knows that Elliott is moving the ball away from him but he still tries to play across the line. :facepalm:
 
I hope Babar scores some runs today. The kid looks so good playing a shot and doesnt have issues rotating the strike as well.

I am surprised, they have hit equal No. of 4, what NZ hit in 1st 4 balls.

In NBA, they don't bother if you win by 30 points or 3 points, PAK team plays for respectable defeat & a solid fifty individually.
 
Why is Hafeez playing so damn scared???? He'll never be dropped and we're going to lose anyway. Just freaking DO something
 
Pakistani batsmen are unable to extract boundaries on these small ground of New Zealand.
 
A bowler down and still making it look real difficult

Team shows anything over 200 is difficult, our batting has always been awful but it's gone even worse now

Maqsood and Safraz in next so not much faith there

These 2 just need to go on till the end
 
Babar keeps hitting the ball straight to Guptill.
