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

[ZAK]

Anderson has conceded just 3 runs off his 3 overs so far. That's depressing.

Almost a wicket, brave shot by Hafeez.

 

[Mr Consistent]

CJ Anderson 3-1-3-0

I think Azhar is done this series. If Malik can come back and score next 2 ODIs, the captaincy is his.

He's led the Sialqot stallions before to championships. He's not ideal, but far better than the likes of Azhar.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan opening issues will never be solved

 

[Abdullah719]

Nice slog Hafeez.

Love our batting culture.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Bhai you're joking right?

Trying to make myself happy yaar Shedding depression.

 

[cricfan967]

In a populous and a cricket-crazy country like Pakistan.. I'm surprised these are the best batsmen we have

 

[#GreenRoars]

Cracking shot Babar

 

[Abdul]

Mohammad Hafeez just safe there.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

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

Mentality is a problem. Yes, they are technically poor but there is no intent to put the bowler under pressure.

In modern day cricket we have no other choice than going for it.

get over it

Perhaps we should also get over bothering to question any of the plethora of Pak losses.

Babar pulls for four. Beautiful stroke that.

Hafezz again wasting balls here

 

[hur rizvi]

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.

Williamson did it when Pak were Zero down

 

[ZAK]

Please don't do anything stupid Babar.

Babar showing some aggression,

 

[MMHS]

Can anyone keep a stat - after hitting a boundary (4 or 6), how many time PAK players has taken a single very next ball. 0 of 3 today & I think, that % 'll not be in double digit - IND or AUS 'll have over 50%, I am sure.

 

[#GreenRoars]

And a more i guess.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar too has strike rotation issues.

 

[ZAK]

Top shot for four by Babar.

Good over. 12 off it.

 

[Justcrazy]

Babaar looking good .

 

[ZAK]

Sensible batting by Babar so far. Long may it continue.

Babar turning it on, match is still on I believe. The pitch is good to bat on and 200 from 30 over isn't difficult.

 

[#GreenRoars]

At same stage NZ : 91/4

 

[#GreenRoars]

Lovely shot Babar, awesome

 

[ZAK]

Babar plays a crunching cut for four.

Lol at the NO scream by Hafeez.

 

[Junaids]

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.

My beef is that he's just not good enough. He is cashing in with runs against low quality bowlers given that it's a nice batting track, but the difference between Babar Azam and Hafeez has been stark.

Babar has looked to have good, decisive footwork and to know where his off-stump is.

Hafeez has only had to play against Anderson and Elliott, yet has looked awful on and just outside off-stump. That doesn't matter so much in ODIs, but can you imagine what wilol happen in this year's Tests when Anderson/Broad/Finn and Southee/Boult/Wagner/Bracewell and Pattinson/Starc/Hazelwood bowl all day to three or four slips, without a spinner in sight?

You're heavily overestimating the batting 'talent' to come

 

[cricfan14]

but we're down 3 wickets anyway lol Maqsood/Irfan/Amir if he's hurt

 

[Justcrazy]

Azam looks like a real Talent !

 

[ZAK]

Babar ruining the figures of Corey Marshall.

The way Rameez commentates sometimes, makes we wonder if he really even gives a s*** about Pakistan Cricket.

 

[MMHS]

One of the best shot of the match, game on; but still 0 out of 6 in terms of strike rotation after a boundary.

 

[Abdul]

Babar Azam is absolutely a classy batsman.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Too many dote

 

[Executioner]

Let me see this babar guy

1) He is not tuk tuk
2) He plays good cricket stroke and not cross batted strokes
3) Can play both spin and pace well
4) He does not speak crap!

My conclusion: He is not Pakistani. Pakistan should stop point the poaching finger on England

 

[MMHS]

PAK need to reach 200 inside 38 overs, with 6 wickets at least at hand. Today Malik is not there, therefore one of these 2 has to be there with the tail.

 

[Justcrazy]

Its really sad to see Hafeex , begin a senior partner not getting the run rate up .

 

[JibranAnsari]

Got a double on one occasion..strike wasn't rotated though

 

[Abdul]

Mohammad Hafeez needs to pace up now - getting a bit ridiculous.

 

[Executioner]

You're heavily overestimating the batting 'talent' to come

When I woke up, i thought Pakistan would lose by 120 runs, now I feel the chances are atleast 10%

 

[cricfan14]

I don't think we'll win so I'll just be happy if

1) Amir bowls well - yes

2) Amir is not hurt - tbd

3) Babar does well - on his way, tbd tho

 

[ZAK]

91/2 after 22 overs.

Match can become more interesting if they both play next ten overs.

No chance. NEed Hafeez to do what Nichols did and even then, who is going to hit out like their tailenders?

 

[SunTzu]

Pakistan have done better than NZ so far. If they keep calm, the game is theirs.

 

[ZAK]

All bowlers are the same to us. We are terrified of them. You have a go, you'll get a five-fer. Bigger hearts.

Indeed

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good running.

 

[yasir]

Too many of Babar's shot are going straight to fielder.... He need to find gaps

 

[ZAK]

2 more to Hafeez.

The key is to get off the strike after hitting the boundary, even a 3 'll do (in fact better). Best I had seen was Sehwag.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar has the same issues with strike rotation and that's the best upcoming talent Pakistan have.poor.

 

[cricfan967]

If it were that easy, we'd be ranked top three

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez should be ashamed , not even rotating strike , despite having played 174 games.

 

[MMHS]

No Boundary by MoHa in 38 balls & he is struggling to time, which is surprising. If he has any quality, that's his timing.

 

[razabbas]

Hafeez

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hafeez lucky again, damn. Fell little short i think.

I have to leave now. This could end up being a close chase if Pakistan don't throw wickets away.

no boundry by Hafeez

 

[#GreenRoars]

by Hafeez

 

[MMHS]

It wasn't technical drop, but MoHa is struggling to time

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Is Mccleneghan out of game? Will he not come on field?

First convincing shot by Hafeez in 44 deliveries
