New Zealand v Pakistan | 1st T20I | Auckland | 18 December | Pakistan innings

[Nadeemp]

We will make 75

 

[iRfaN_LA]

we deserve this humiliation with this squad. Our batting relies heavily on Babar Azam.

 

[Snowflake]

To those in the US. You guys are clowns staying awake for this.

Harsh

 

[El Generico]

Just need one good innings. Faheem,Imad and Riaz can all bat .

 

[Nadeemp]

Bowl them out for 73

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Haider, Hafeez, Imad and Shaheen are the only good players on this team. 4 good players out of 11

 

[Mamoon]

People will play the Babar card now, but these batsmen are supposed to be our future hopes and they are playing against a reserve attack of New Zealand.

 

[waleed88]

Uff itni bisti

 

[ARK Rafay]

God knows what’s about to happen to the likes of Abid Ali in the Test matches

Boult and Southee will take turns taking the fifers on Day 1.

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

Give chance to talat,ifti and sarfraz ** gand ko apas mai gumaty rahon ********

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Haider, Hafeez, Imad and Shaheen are the only good players on this team. 4 good players out of 11

Wahab is alright too in this format

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

What has happened to Pakistan fans?? Hyping up any random street cricketer to the moon. Khusdil was hyped on PP as next version of Yuvraj singh. Sorry to say but no quality, no temperament and no technique. The land of inzimam and Anwar is producing stuff like this.
Sad times.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Any chance Misbah and Waqar are dumped after NZ series? We need a foreign coach so that they are not involved in local politics.

Nothing will change, trust me. PCB is a joke.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sodhi is really clever

 

[Mamoon]

Someone end Shadab’s misery and send him to the dugout. He doesn’t know why he’s in the middle.

 

[Snowflake]

Bowl them out for 73

Why 73?

 

[Darkness]

When will babar recover?

 

[Shafi]

Hopefully after this series Wasim Khan, Misbah and Waqar will be sacked.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Crawling towards 100.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Who's watching this garbage?

Seems like 90% of peeps on here not me though luckily I didn't take a subscription....yet! Lol

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Let’s see if they get to 120

 

[Mesozoic]

Bowler and both batsmen at the crease are Punjabi

 

[angrypathan]

They can't even pick Sodhi

 

[naseem]

Last time Pak won the t20 series....this time they will win nothing

 

[Hyperion66]

Bowl them out for 73

Moral victory if you reach 70 against this fearsome NZ attack!!

 

[sharmaji]

I know it's too early, but I am not very impressed with Shadab's batting (given the comparisons with Hardik Pandya on PP). I hope he proves me wrong as the match goes on.

 

[Mamoon]

Run rate of 4.58 after 9 overs.

Jesus )

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Someone end Shadab’s misery and send him to the dugout. He doesn’t know why he’s in the middle.

And he is supposed to be better then jadeja. Lol

 

[Snowflake]

Bowler and both batsmen at the crease are Punjabi

Imad isn't Punjabi

 

[naseem]

Kiwi future pace attack looks too good

 

[Rayyman]

Can we use a substitute?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Run rate of 4.58 after 9 overs.

Jesus )

PSL coming in Feb-March All will be back with their swag and fake performances

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I know it's too early, but I am not very impressed with Shadab's batting (given the comparisons with Hardik Pandya on PP). I hope he proves me wrong as the match goes on.

Pandya has elite level talent with the bat in this format. No comparison really

 

[Nadeemp]

Pakistán zindabad

 

[Darkrai]

Smith Jr. is batting well

 

[Justcrazy]

44. 5

9,3 overs

Pakistan would be lucky to get to 100 here

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Unbelievable athletes these guys. What a grab

 

[ARK Rafay]

Duffy having a blast!

 

[Nadeemp]

Vote ko izzat do

 

[imshally81]

Captain gone..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pakistan need to bring Imam back in all formats, atleast he would have scored a run a ball 30 odd

 

[Snowflake]

He's celebrating that? He touched the rope! Didn't he?

 

[Shaddy86]

Rizwan the highest scorer. The jokes on pp.

 

[Runner Up]

This is too young team. Experience does matter. Don't know why they are not including Sarfraz in the team.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Actually it might be a six I feel like it is

 

[imshally81]

I think.. He touched the boundary..

 

[kingusama92]

What a catch though.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Why claim that? It was a very clear push into the boundary not even a scrape

 

[El Generico]

Isn’t that a six?

 

[Darkrai]

Smith Jr.

 

[Ahmed216]

I repeat we are finished as a cricketing nation

 

[Snowflake]

Touched. He knew. Quite a cheap celebration that

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

What the heck was that.. fake Ian botham almost gone. But it’s a boundary

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Brilliant effort though

 

[Mesozoic]

What a catch

 

[BakuGM]

Nothing will change, trust me. PCB is a joke.

We can only hope...... BTW I am also in LA and going golfing in the morning so turning off the TV so that I don't get too aggravated, LOL.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hey did not choose to bat )

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

This is too young team. Experience does matter. Don't know why they are not including Sarfraz in the team.

Hearing this for 10 years now.

 

[ARK Rafay]

I repeat we are finished as a cricketing nation

Depends what standards we use to rate ourselves. Bring in another zimbabwe and we'll win the series again

 

[Justcrazy]

sixxxx

Shadab sends that over the boundary.

 

[Rayyman]

Meanwhile Labuschagne is smashing India

 

[imshally81]

Why itz 4?

 

[Green Patriot]

Not out but what an effort by the fielder.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Why is it a 4 and not a six? Am I missing something

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bring Imam back, make him captain, make Pakistan great again

 

[MHN1293]

Did anyone need a reminder why babar dosent win pakistan many matches. Just woke up and i was not expecting this after the hype around abdullah, haider. Even hafeez 3.0 failed as he is called by some.

 

[Snowflake]

Why is that a 4???

 

[ARK Rafay]

Why is it a 4 and not a six? Am I missing something

Ball didn't touched the ground

 

[Energy]

That was a great catch and should have been out.

 

[Snowflake]

Ball didn't touched the ground

Which means it should be a 6?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That was a great catch and should have been out.

There’s no “should have” here. It’s either out or not. He touched the rope

 

[ARK Rafay]

Projected score: 95

 

[ARK Rafay]

23 dot balls from the 36 balls of power play?
Must be a new record, no?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Why is the cricinfo commentator acting like jake paul ?

Tickner to Shadab, SIX runs
Ooooh myyy gawwwddd!! Jaaaaccooooobb Duffeeeeeeeyyyyy This could have been one THE greatest boundary catches I have EVER seen! Shades of Daniel Vettori in the 2015 World Cup. This could have been even better. He's at deep third man. He's watching an upper cut that is going for six for all money. Shadab has nailed it. But Duffy is not giving up on it. He leaps up, sticks up his right hand, the ball sticks in it, he comes down, slides towards the boundary, and as he does so, the tip of his finger in his left hand brushes against the advertising triangles and robs the world of one of the most amazing catches ever.

 

[Mesozoic]

Jacob Duffy joins the long list of dubutants who were made to look like world beaters by Pakistan.

 

[Omer Baloch]

What's this block and run technique, been seeing this for ages.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Which means it should be a 6?

Yes

 

[sharmaji]

Today is a difficult situation for him, with 27/4 and this being the first match of the tour, but let's see. I will wait till the series is finished to come to an assessment about Shadab.

[/I]

Pandya has elite level talent with the bat in this format. No comparison really

 

[Rana]

Chacha lol. What message has he come with? The new ball is due in 9 overs??

 

[naseem]

I would say the corona saga and 15 days of self quarantine has taken it's toll on the mental health of the players..... This series is hoina b very scarry
