New Zealand v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | 3rd February, 2015 | Napier | New Zealand Innings

[Azlan Khan]

Toss in 15 mins. Last ODI game for Pakistan before the mega event. Who do you reckon will make the final XI?

 

[Azlan Khan]

New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat first.

 

[Zeshan547]

Plz try all reserves.

 

[badsha001]

Same team, wow

 

[Azlan Khan]

Same team for Pakistan.

 

[habibi hayya]

Pakistan losses the toss. Same team no changes.

NZ bat first.

 

[Shafi]

Pathetic captain and coach. Same team!!!

 

[Theo_14]

New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat first.

Damn, really wanted Pakistan to bat first.

 

[cricketInsight]

same team for Pakistan.

 

[Theo_14]

Same team? Talk of preparation. Absolutely shocking. No Wahab? Shocked.

 

[mon858]

Wth, same team!!!!!

 

[habibi hayya]

No balls. No balls at all to try new combination. Experiment a little.

Ridiculous and just goes to show why we have remained the same since the last WC.

This is so bloody infuriating.

 

[iHammad]

New Zealand up 1-0 in the series, make 4 changes. Pakistan down 0-1, make no changes at all.

 

[mon858]

at least New Zealand is smart, they dont want same scorecard it spoils their practice, so they decided to bat for fun, instead of another 210 all out to chase.

 

[Shafi]

Another defeat on the card

 

[Theo_14]

I'm so done with Pakistan and its cricket. How can you not make changes? So poor.

 

[Sherlock]

So I guess we'll be going in with this XI then

 

[s28]

calm down everybody

this is very strong leadership that none of you will understand

obviously they know their best team and want to get maximum practice using it, no point chopping and changing

 

[habibi hayya]

New Zealand up 1-0 in the series, make 4 changes. Pakistan down 0-1, make no changes at all.

What is wrong with us? Seriously what is wrong with our management?

Is there any explanation?

 

[mon858]

my hate for waqar as coach has gone up another level.

 

[Canistani Hero]

Consistency

 

[Shafi]

Mamoon please do not skip your college for this pathetic team!!!

 

[Zeshan547]

Misbah and management have trolled Pak again, all those discussions and many threads about who should be replaced and who should play for this ODI go to hell, is there any thing more dumb on this planet than this so called think tank, a think tank which can't even think, than we say what's wrong with this team and why we losing match after match.

 

[cricketInsight]

well to put things in context, Pakistan may be thinking about their lineup for the WC opener. Not all bad.

I am sure Wahab will play and Sohail will sit out the India game. So they are going try to see whether it should be Bhatti or Ehsan in place Junaid Khan's place for the India game.

The batting lineup will be the same for India game so they probably want to stick to it so they can get some runs.

 

[badsha001]

my hate for waqar as coach has gone up another level.

Dont worry bro, he will be kicked off in one month

[axl100mph]

I hope they concede 500 and lose by 450 runs with only afridi scoring the runs n the rest getting ducks

Our best team has been losing. When you lose, smart coaches try new things to fire up the team.

Either our coaches are bloody stupid or they have been told by PCB who has to start and they have their hands tied.

Either way, the hell with this organization.

 

[habibi hayya]

What shirt is hafeez wearing? Which kit is that.

 

[cricketInsight]

wao - didn't know 9 yr old girls were also on the forum.

 

[NZcricketfan]

It is obvious which team is preparing for a world cup. Nz playing two spinners

 

[hussain.r97]

No Wahab

 

[cricketInsight]

[Zeshan547]

Pakistan is out there to prove that famous defination is totally wrong, "insanity is to do same thing again and again but expecting different result" so good luck team pak if you can prove this wrong.

 

[Arsal_AK]

No Maqsood?? Younis still in the team??

You have got to be kidding me.

 

[Shafi]

Hope younis fail again and if we loose this match (Most likely) dumb Waqar may force smiley khan to sit.

 

[MarkCooper]

Close your eyes, think of Yorkshire, and the runs will come easy.

 

[Arsal_AK]

I hope they concede 500 and lose by 450 runs with only afridi scoring the runs n the rest getting ducks

I dont even know what to say.

 

[786warrior]

No changes? Somethings never change!

 

[srh]

So this is the team which will play 1st ODI in WC

 

[hussain.r97]

So this is the team which will play 1st ODI in WC

Doubt it. Remember, there are still 2 warmups left. One against Bangladesh, the other against England.

 

[iHammad]

What is wrong with us? Seriously what is wrong with our management?

Is there any explanation?

No explanation to this, not at all

 

[axl100mph]

I dont even know what to say.

Dont say anything. I dong want any sort of success getting attributed to this team management who hv destroyed everything with their rigidity and ingorance. U also stop being a muppet. What happiness do these idiots provide u. Break all these shackles n let go. I hv had it.

 

[Sizzling Soul]

no change sucks

 

[NZcricketfan]

The NZ batting could fall apart today. I prefer watching us bowl than batting

 

[ahmedzee]

Garbage stuff!
Same team selected. Even nz are trying different options and giving practice to everyone. Pathetic decision by captain and coach to go with same team. There is a thin line between consistency and stupidity and unfortunately our team management just crossed that line.

I was under the impress that wahab, sohail and Sohaib may get some exposure so that we can decide on a final combination before the world cup.

 

[Swanny]

That century vs nz has sealed yk's place in the wc regardless of what happens now.

 

[badsha001]

so 400 coming?

 

[Shafi]

At least Mohammad Akram was more innovative with his limited abilities. Waqar is the cancer of Pakistan cricket. He even rebelled against Wasim and forced to sit Shoaib in 2011 World Cup for Kamran's fault. Can not blame Moin & Misbah much because they did not want to select selfish team man

 

[Syed1]

unchanged team

 

[Yatoo]

Younis F King Khan

 

[waleed88]

Misbah is a smart captain, the reality is the more you chop and change the more the combination gets ruined. Player never gets settled in the first game, you need 2-3 games to get settled. If you drop a player after one game the other player will have the excuse that he was given only one chance to play.
I think players are given chances under Misbah and that is a very good sign.

 

[iHammad]

320 + is coming guys, Kane Williamson is playing instead of Tom Latham

 

[Jabo]

Wanted to see Pakistan crumble with the bat before I fall asleep and miss the whole game... hopefully NZ show us why our bowling is weak with Afridi coming in at 8 and only Sohail to bowl

 

[Laal]

Looks like this is the team they want for the WC. Otherwise, I don't see the point having the same team as last game.

 

[Ottoman]

so 400 coming?

Nope 380

 

[Syed1]

Fazul captain fazul team.. ******** players

 

[Zeshan547]

That century vs nz has sealed yk's place in the wc regardless of what happens now.

yeah that century is the worst thing happened to pakistan team, that century have sealed younis place in team and pakistan fate in world cup which is now to be kicked out of world cup in group stage after coming last in the group.

 

[waleed88]

Its because of these chances, that Shafiq got excluded and Sarfaraz became a consistent performer.
It is also the reason Ahmed Shehzad established himself in the ODI side when he came back vs West Indies, in 5 odi series.

 

[Strike Rate]

I hope NZ score big as much as they can i would love to see some chasing practice for Pakistan befoe WC even if we endup losing in this match chasing

 

[timeflies]

It's sad that Wahab is the second best bowler in our squad now but he is. I don't understand why we aren't giving him match practice in these conditions?

 

[habibi hayya]

Black cap whities not wearing Sun screen but our kale players have it smothered all over their faces.

 

[waleed88]

Captain seems something in Younis thatt we dont see. I think we should trust that. Misbah definitely has a plan.

 

[Syed1]

120 kph

 

[waleed88]

It's sad that Wahab is the second best bowler in our squad now but he is. I don't understand why we aren't giving him match practice in these conditions?

He will be played in the practice matches. Dont worry.

 

[larkykid]

Toss in 15 mins. Last ODI game for Pakistan before the mega event. Who do you reckon will make the final XI?

They also have a couple of warm up matches against Bangla and England before the opener.

 

[Laal]

Captain seems something in Younis thatt we dont see. I think we should trust that. Misbah definitely has a plan.

Yes, a bully. Someone who bullies his way into the team.

 

[Ottoman]

Who will take the new ball from other side.

 

[Syed1]

it'll take us 5 overs to score 3 runs

 

[Sizzling Soul]

come on irfan,

 

[Ottoman]

Yes, a bully. Someone who bullies his way into the team.

Yep the plan is. Play all your friend.

 

[waleed88]

Ehsaan adil and bhatti will have the excuses if they got dropped.

 

[Zeshan547]

Misbah is a smart captain, the reality is the more you chop and change the more the combination gets ruined. Player never gets settled in the first game, you need 2-3 games to get settled. If you drop a player after one game the other player will have the excuse that he was given only one chance to play.
I think players are given chances under Misbah and that is a very good sign.

thumbs up, for such an idiot and his fans like you, how on earth can you justify this selection? Bhatti over wahab? Yk over Maqsood? You gotta kidding.

 

[Syed1]

too much leg side

 

[timeflies]

Black cap whities not wearing Sun screen but our kale players have it smothered all over their faces.

Our players love overdoing the sunscreen [emoji14] Makes them look so weird...

 

[Sizzling Soul]

please tell irfan how to get rid of legside bowling

 

[waleed88]

Same would younis if he wasnt dropped.

 

[Saeed]

Need to get them out under 220. Anything more and we are certain to lose it..... again.

 

[Square Drive]

Why is Bhatti opening!?

Should be Adil.

 

[Ottoman]

Bilawal again
