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

[Ashraful_Rox]

To me he looks like the next umar akmal

Oh man saw so many threads here hyping him up, wanted to watch him bat but he got out before I turned on telly. Ashraful vibes

 

[Snowflake]

All these babay with the team, what are they doing? Even the cricket team is being run by oldies, just like our country

 

[redmaverik84]

The only thing Santner is better than Vettori at is fielding. You won’t convince anyone that Santner is a better ‘spinner’ of the ball in comparison to Dan Vettori

Oh you haven't then seen Vettori take terrific catches and make diving stops at point during his youth. To field at Point for NZ is a privilege in itself. There was once an incident in '99 when he stopped a cut of Ganguly, who was so stunned that he applauded the fielder.

 

[Mamoon]

Shadab cashing on Sodhi’s pies and now his fans will justify his number 5 position.

 

[Rana]

Who is the old guy Babar Azam is talking to?

Rick Flair

Wooooooo

 

[angrypathan]

Good over.

 

[imshally81]

NZ will chase the target in 12 overs...

 

[PakPremi]

Every shot by Shadab hurting Mamoon even if it may not win Pakistan the match.

 

[Darkrai]

Terrible bowling from Sodhi.

 

[waleed88]

Baffling tactics from Santener.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have somewhat recovered 90 . 6

But the score would be well below par score here

 

[waleed88]

Most of Pakistan's runs have come against spinners. The game would've been over had only their pacers had bowled

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Maybe I won’t, most of our fans don’t understand cricket anyway so I am not bothered if they don’t get what I say.

I do think Santner is a better spinner than Vettori also a clever bowler

 

[Snowflake]

Nice to see PSO getting in some views!

 

[imshally81]

Faheem can't bat.. Can't bowl

 

[JibranAnsari]

shiule be iut

 

[Snowflake]

Come on guys... 3 dots in the 16th over?

 

[angrypathan]

Faheem out here missing half volleys

 

[Mamoon]

Every shot by Shadab hurting Mamoon even if it may not win Pakistan the match.

Yes, it hurts me to see how badly Pakistan will get thumped against full strength attacks with Shadab batting at 5.

He had no clue against pacers and only upped his SR after getting freebies by Sodhi and got lucky with that brilliant catch that touched the boundary.

Pakistani fans as usual lacking perspective.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Guys atleast Sodhi was bashed by Kaptaan

 

[Square Drive]

Well, diving like a show-off dolphin sure did save him his wicket there

 

[Snowflake]

shiule be iut

Lol

 

[ARK Rafay]

4 dots from Faheem

 

[JibranAnsari]

gna be a maiden

 

[Snowflake]

Wow Faheem

 

[Justcrazy]

AShraf needs to hit some lusty blows here

 

[Rana]

Oh you haven't then seen Vettori take terrific catches and make diving stops at point during his youth. To field at Point for NZ is a privilege in itself. There was once an incident in '99 when he stopped a cut of Ganguly, who was so stunned that he applauded the fielder.

You are probably right.

Vettori is a legend in comparison to Santner. Proper cricketer that guy was. No bits and pieces like Mitch here

 

[angrypathan]

5 dots...

 

[JibranAnsari]

lol takes a single on last

 

[Snowflake]

Jesus Christ, Faheem! Slow down

 

[ARK Rafay]

Lol. 1 run by Faheem in 16th over of a T20 game. Speaks volume about his quality with the bat

 

[Mamoon]

Brilliant stuff by Santner. Brilliant.

 

[D/DAhmed]

I’ve seen better allrounders in my backyard than Faheem

 

[angrypathan]

And a single off the last ball, far out

 

[ARK Rafay]

I still remember the game Faheem opened the batting in New Zealand last time. Maybe we need that again

 

[naseem]

Brilliant from both the kaptaan

 

[Babbar]

Tough match this!

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Faheem out here missing half volleys

Clever length from Santner. Too full to sweep. Too close to stumps to cut.

 

[Rana]

Yeh China ka furgouson kon hai?

 

[Rana]

Lol Shadab on 40 off 29 and Mamoon crying )

 

[waleed88]

'Never have any problems producing fast bowlers'

Abay yeh manjan stereotype kartay hain

 

[naseem]

Shadab is a must for tests ....too

 

[CleverSir]

Brilliant stuff by Santner. Brilliant.

Why do you always root for the opposition? and display extreme negativity towards our own team? even in match.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Embarrassing slogs by Faheem down the leg side.

 

[Rana]

Ashraf come on bro one connection please

 

[Rayyman]

Lol Shadab on 40 off 29 and Mamoon crying )

He did get out once but hanging in there

 

[Snowflake]

Why do you always root for the opposition? and display extreme negativity towards our own team? even in match.

Helps ease the pain.

 

[Justcrazy]

26 runs partnership so far , need some big hits here

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Lol Shadab on 40 off 29 and Mamoon crying )

Didn’t Pak played any practice game? Soft dismissals early on. Couldn’t handle bounce. Can’t believe Hafeez got out. He had toured NZ many times before.

 

[Mir jibran]

AShraf needs to hit some lusty blows here

Why is he in the team :/

 

[Omer Baloch]

These NZ bowlers look more older than our ifti chacha.

 

[angrypathan]

Sobers continuing to be a liability

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

A very typical innings from Ashraf. Time for Wahab and Shaheen to come in

 

[ARK Rafay]

Finally connects one. Again the one he connects has incredible timing.

 

[Rana]

Sobers gets one in the middle

 

[angrypathan]

And sobers connects at last

 

[Snowflake]

Finally Faheem gets what he's been wishing for.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Very impressed with Shadab. That’s why he is the captain. A good head on his shoulders

 

[waleed88]

This is a shockingly bad NZ attack made to look good. I mean this bowler is bowling short length in the 17th over. I can't believe we gifted these guys wickets

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Rayyman]

Faheeeem

 

[Rana]

When it’s your day, there is nothing stopping you. Another soft dismissal

 

[Snowflake]

Half volley on the legs... Should've been an easy six

 

[angrypathan]

Duffy gets another. Complete wasteman who we've somehow made a hero

 

[Mamoon]

Why do you always root for the opposition? and display extreme negativity towards our own team? even in match.

I don’t root for the other team but the mediocrity of Pakistan disgusts me.

 

[Nadeemp]

Wahab aka klusner in

 

[Rayyman]

It still confuses me how people can’t say Sha daab

 

[imshally81]

What a six

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan are struggling against this Z grade attack? Lol.

 

[naseem]

Today Duffy can make no wrong....why pakistan give opponent debutants a dream debut across format... I need 2 see a change or i m changing my loyalty from cricket......pathetic to see

 

[MenInG]

Some joke we missed?

 

[imshally81]

What a hit 6666 by faheem

 

[Rana]

Sobers!!!!!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Look at the timing again. He's one of the best timers when he connects.

 

[waleed88]

No yorkers, short pitch bowling lol... this is a pathetic attack

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

NZ are there for the taking. This is an ok total

 

[Mir jibran]

Rana saaab come onnnnn

 

[MenInG]

Some joke we missed?

[Snowflake]

Wow Faheem! Giving a glimpse of what Guptill is going to do with us

 

[Rana]

He’s doing a Tewatia here!!!!
