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

[timeflies]

Pakistan Cricket Team? More like Afridi. He is the team

 

[godzilla]

guptil hates batting against irfan.

 

[cricketInsight]

300 is par score here - will be interesting to see how Pakistan goes about chasing the total.

 

[Theo_14]

Irfan's inconsistency with line and length is visible. Seems unfit.

 

[Saeed]

What the hell is safraz keeping his eyes closed what a useless keeper

So the ball doesn't hit his eyeball. Do you want him to get injured right in middle of the tour?

 

[axl100mph]

Cmon misbah, dont give the ball to afridi or we will concede to many runs. Give it to ur buddy younis bhai. I m sure he can make the team on his bowling, not to mention his atg batting credentials.

 

[FreeBird]

Im dreading the day we will have to face India Srilanka and Bangladesh with Afridi as our only spinner. Hes only good against the western sides but will get tonked everywhere vs the other Asian sides.

Yeah, so you ask your Misbah to start bowling and make Afridi sit against "other Asian sides".

 

[ImranFarhatFan]

There's a 139

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Bhatti will come back with a 5-fer in his next spell

 

[coy0607]

Yeah the commentators are talking about our problem being the fifth bowler, I'm trying to see the 2nd and 3rd?

yeah.. Bilawal and Adil (or Sohail and Tanvir) phanti is confirmed.. no one knows how durable Irfan is, and if he can bowl the full 10 in every game..

then theres the fifth bowler.. these guys better be prepared to chase 300+ every game

 

[JibranAnsari]

Younis khan has completely handicapped pakistani batting , we cant play maqsood and akmal together.

my dislike for him is growing every day.

 

[Abdullah719]

Cmon misbah, dont give the ball to afridi or we will concede to many runs. Give it to ur buddy younis bhai. I m sure he can make the team on his bowling, not to mention his atg batting credentials.

I have a feeling Younis may bowl better here than our other 'seamers'.

 

[Ottoman]

tht was a catch

 

[iafzal]

I am happy Bhatti is playing. It is aar or par for him.
For now he is going to go home.

 

[axl100mph]

Absolutely no passion in irfan's bowling
No pakistaniat
I feel like sobbing

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bhatti will come back with a 5-fer in his next spell

you means 5 fours in one over?

 

[ImranFarhatFan]

Sarfraz needs some runs today

 

[iHammad]

Afridi just skidding it through like a medium pacer

 

[Jabo]

Irfan looks awful...

 

[GreenKnightRises]

He announced his retirement himself . nobody pushed him.

I just meant he'll take back his retirement after the WC

 

[JibranAnsari]

I just meant he'll take back his retirement after the WC

LOL then the joke will benon him..yet again

 

[NZcricketfan]

Afridi just skidding it through like a medium pacer

Welcome to nz.

 

[Madplayer]

lol 127 kph from bhatti

 

[desi_launda]

bhatti back

 

[Madplayer]

what is bhatti thinking!!!!

 

[Theo_14]

I feel sorry for Bhatti man. Hes not good enough, and PCB rushed the poor guy.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Ohh yeah, he's back... Williamson your time is nearing

 

[ViciousMachine]

Bhatti is not just crap, but you feel he's so stupid too. Does he actually think his short balls are doing anything......?

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Bhatti and his half-trackers

 

[RehanG]

Absolutely no passion in irfan's bowling
No pakistaniat
I feel like sobbing

Its just a mere warmup wait gor the wc

 

[ddss]

How is Sami's batting?

 

[Madplayer]

bhatti can potentially go for 100 runs here

 

[Abdullah719]

Poor Bhatti. His ticket is almost booked.

 

[Ottoman]

Why Bhatti ?

 

[ImranFarhatFan]

I remember a day when Bhaati was unplayable against Angelo Matthews in Dubai, what happened

 

[ViciousMachine]

I feel sorry for Bhatti man. Hes not good enough, and PCB rushed the poor guy.

But why is he bowling short??? I dont get it... he's barely touching the 130, and he keeps trying multiple short balls EVERY over. Bowl smarter at least.

 

[Strike Rate]

How is Sami's batting?

as good as sir viv

 

[m.shah]

Pakistani bowlers are like girls..the one you want to call dont call you (Amir ..junaid..Asif..Ajmal..Hafeez) and those in which we are least intrested call you everyday (Bhatti..ehsan ..sohail..etc).

 

[Ottoman]

So, Sohail Tanveer should be on plane by this time tomorrow.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

I feel sorry for Bhatti man. Hes not good enough, and PCB rushed the poor guy.

PCB didn't rush him,Mesiah asked for him ,!!! and he's yet to show his 'potential'. Just wait and see

 

[Madplayer]

what has happened to bhatti's pace? atleast he used to bowl fast

 

[godzilla]

bhatti slowliy finding his radar. hes been very disappointing but i still blame the think tank, waqar and the board. in the run up to the most important tournament in world cricket, why didnt they have a fully prepared bench? they threw bhatti in out of nowhere. its so unprofessional its painful.

 

[Theo_14]

But why is he bowling short??? I dont get it... he's barely touching the 130, and he keeps trying multiple short balls EVERY over. Bowl smarter at least.

Because he is simply not good enough to be playing for Pak. Also it doesnt help when PCB have rushed him in side, not organised more matches outside UAE, lack of preperation is visible. Also Irfan lacks jazba and fitness. Shambles. Looking forward to Baber and new blood after World cup then this mess

 

[Ottoman]

I remember a day when Bhaati was unplayable against Angelo Matthews in Dubai, what happened

and then he was coached by Waqar.

 

[BlackThunder]

Bilawel bhai making our man Binny proud with these pies. The way Pak pace bowling has deteriorated is astounding.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Never thought I'd see the day but this is trundlerstan

 

[Theo_14]

Come on Adil!

 

[saeed-sohail]

I hope they bring in Umar Gul or Hammad.

 

[BlackThunder]

The Kiwi commies love to over analyze every single play. The way they were going on about that McCallum dismissal was absolutely brutal television. Pathetic commies are these Kiwi's.

 

[Theo_14]

I hope they bring in Umar Gul or Hammad.

Gul would be a good shout considering the quality and depth we are lacking at the moment.

 

[m.shah]

Another Trundler

 

[imshally81]

I think.. Riaz n sohail khan have fitness problems

 

[silent ischemia]

Woof. ... Irfan is running so gingerly

 

[ImranFarhatFan]

We haven't broken 140 once today, we have turned into India

 

[BuccalSingh]

I hope they bring in Umar Gul or Hammad.

I think even Akhtar can bowl better than broken bones Gul

 

[saeed-sohail]

Come on Ehsan show your worth here.

 

[iHammad]

Kane Williamson on the move on, going to get a 100

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistani fans need to just accept now that qualifying for the quarter finals should be considered as a world cup win for them.

 

[ImranFarhatFan]

Hafeez jogging, nice

 

[Saeed]

Please get Bilawal bhatti a ticket and send him back to Pakistan. This guy shouldn't even be in the WC.

 

[PTI tsunami]

Even Sri Lanka had quicker bowlers this is a shambles

 

[FreeBird]

If Misbah had a choice, he would make Afridi bowl all 50 overs.

Seriously yar .... Shame on Waqar Younus when you look at these pace bowlers.

 

[Ottoman]

Umar Gull will make more sense, but is he fit enough and did he play in domestic one day tournament.

 

[Theo_14]

No swing from any bowlers... Depressing.

 

[NZcricketfan]

We haven't broken 140 once today, we have turned into India

Even indians bowl over 140

 

[BuccalSingh]

We haven't broken 140 once today, we have turned into India

Don't worry, off the bat, your bowlers will be fastest in the cup.

 

[waleed88]

This team has such a low morale its not even funny. Look at the body language on the pitch.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Need a wicket.

 

[PTI tsunami]

Why was hafeez just jogging for that

 

[coy0607]

gotta bowl Afridi out and try and get 2-3 wickets.. otherwise Adil / Bhatti / Harris Sohail are going to get full phanti, post 320+

 

[waleed88]

They all look like headless chickens. Its depressing to watch this team play.

 

[GreenRage]

There's no bloody intent to get wickets these mediocre bowlers are just happy and surprised to be selected in the world cup squad my 80 year old grandma can bowl better than them.

 

[BlackThunder]

Pakistan desperately needs Aamir. This is brutal, I can only imagine the pain hardcore Pak fans are feeling watching these trundlers in action.

 

[m.shah]

8 from the over

 

[saeed-sohail]

Should I stay awake for this lot?

 

[Saeed]

Looks like these guys don't have any energy in their shoulders and back.

 

[Madplayer]

thats 141 kph from bhatti

 

[saeed-sohail]

I thought watching SL bowl was boring.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nz should score around 350 370.

 

[Theo_14]

Should I stay awake for this lot?

pak will probably bat around 8-9am. I'll watch a bit of Adil then go to sleep.
