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

[Pete Rose]

The innings Hafeez is playing is the kind that Fawad played against Australia and it cost him his place.

 

[uberkoen]

Hafeez is playing well.

Are you serious or or are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.

 

[Mamoon]

Boult is a very smart operator, best young bowler in the world.

 

[hur rizvi]

Hafeez playing a dreadful innings in the context of the match

 

[waleed88]

Milne bura haal karayga

 

[Pete Rose]

Hate selfish players and Hafeez showing it once again. Such a shame. We will never do well until we get rid of these selfish players such as Hafeez and Younis

He is not selfish, he is just incapable

 

[mon858]

what a way to rotate strike, top edge over cover. trolling nz fielders stop the single now.

 

[Mamoon]

Shehzad's strike rate is slowly coming back to normalcy.

 

[hur rizvi]

cheeky stuff from shehzad

 

[waleed88]

Woaaaahhh shez

 

[Mamoon]

Hafeez playing a dreadful innings in the context of the match

Dreadful in any context.

 

[uberkoen]

I don't know which is funnier. Younish Khan playing in the World Cup or Hafeez playing as a specialist batsman.

 

[s.h.a.k]

The innings Hafeez is playing is the kind that Fawad played against Australia and it cost him his place.

But Hafeez won't be dropped unlike Fawad who was our best batsmen last year.

 

[Mamoon]

Well managed in the end, happy to take it as they come.

 

[Justcrazy]

up

 

[Pete Rose]

Uni- dimensional Shehzad but at least the results are there.
No plan to take a single

 

[mon858]

hafeez in hotel room tonight, practice off spin at 10 degrees all night.

 

[FreeBird]

Shehzad itching to get out instead of using his head and take a single - he is trying to hit a 4 on every ball

 

[iHammad]

again, 4 dots, single and a four. Not good enough honestly

 

[Arsal_AK]

Singles Shehzad, singles....

He is not even trying to pinch one.

 

[mon858]

made in china kohli ka chinese shot

 

[hur rizvi]

He is not selfish, he is just incapable

14 off 30+ balls is not called trying when you are chasing 370

 

[mon858]

should we take batting powerplay or let them rest a little?

 

[JaDed]

They need to rotate the strike whether before or after a boundary.

 

[Arsal_AK]

A big reason for that is the pathetic approach from Hafeez as well.

 

[cricfan967]

Maqsood would've been useful today, hits it a mile.

 

[Pete Rose]

14 off 30+ balls is not called trying when you are chasing 370

I am not defending him, just saying he is not playing against Bagladesh

 

[hur rizvi]

hafeez literally playing for his place rather than team, Selfish innings

 

[mon858]

something will happen this over, either hafeez four or out

 

[badsha001]

Mashallah hafeez playing test inning

 

[Mamoon]

Vettori is going to choke this pair here.

 

[JaDed]

Boult is a bit predictable at times isn't he.

 

[down4whatever]

Hafeez is dreadful

 

[cricfan967]

Hafeez playing for a draw

 

[s.h.a.k]

Shehzad is doing the right thing going for boundaries why get singles when Hafeez can't even get ball of the square and going under 50 strike rate. All Hafeez doing blocking and getting a odd single. At least with Shehzads approach he will get a boundary or 2.

 

[waleed88]

Everyone doesnt have to be the aggressor. Shehzad is the aggressor. Hafeez makes sure the partnership stays.

 

[iafzal]

Hafeez normally likes spinners but he just going in a cocoon

 

[hur rizvi]

I am not defending him, just saying he is not playing against Bagladesh

My point was that this is a selfish innings

 

[adnan yasin]

Way too many dot balls

eXactly...rotation is important

 

[mudassir84]

How can i watch on internet on android mobile?

 

[hur rizvi]

Everyone doesnt have to be the aggressor. Shehzad is the aggressor. Hafeez makes sure the partnership stays.

he is making sure RR keeps rising

 

[Pete Rose]

Shehzad and juinor no good against spin.
Hafeez is supposedly better, but there has to be no pressure and the spinner must be from Sri Lanka or zIm or Bangladesh

 

[cricfan967]

Ball is not doing anything and Hafeez is all over the place

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Proff creating pressure at the other end and forcing Shehzy to do unusual things

 

[adnan yasin]

This Hafeez batting will definetly get shehzad wicket

 

[imshally81]

Vettori figures

2-0-3-0

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pakistan RR falling back to under 5.

Normalcy resumes.

 

[waleed88]

Partnerships matter people.

 

[Suleiman]

Hafeez needs to get going, putting the pressure on Shehzad. At least rotate the strike more often, same goes for Shehzad.

Good start so far though.

 

[Pete Rose]

My point was that this is a selfish innings

It's not because he doesn't have the technique or courage to get out or score.

 

[badsha001]

wow... what a luck

 

[Arsal_AK]

Thats better now, isn't it.

Take a freaking single when you can...

 

[mon858]

people forgetting vettori is not harris. and hafeez is lacking confidence a little out of touch, cut him some slack, let him build like guptill.

 

[hur rizvi]

Top edges sail over these boundaries are a joke

 

[waleed88]

Hafeez will have a release. He needs to make sure he does it right.

 

[vandokkum]

Hafeez's strike rate is not too bad considering it's the first session of the test match.

 

[imranraf]

A mishit six for Hafeez. That's the best he can do.

 

[Kianig89]

Hafeez riding his luck

 

[Arsal_AK]

Hafeez all over the place.)

 

[imshally81]

 

[fahadshah]

Hafeez ! Allah ka wasta tjhe bhai !

woooooooo....sixxxx

 

[iRfaN_LA]

fluke six on a short boundary. Hafeez is so useless.

 

[Smbhayi]

yo hafeez

 

[waleed88]

Good shot

 

[Mamoon]

Bunked lecture.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Why isn't Mills in the game, would have easily got Proff by now

 

[waleed88]

Nothing is a fluke. Its a 60 m boundary.

 

[Pete Rose]

Vecttori has done his job.
Shehzad S/R sliding back to 100

 

[JaDed]

Lol the pressure is getting into Prof. nevertheless its

 

[Mamoon]

Boult bowling the perfect line to Shehzad, he knows what he's trying to do.

 

[s.h.a.k]

Any chance of Hafeez being dropped is gone because he slowly has got to over 20 and that's enough for Waqar and Misbah. It don't matter how he got them and what situation in they got thier reason now.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Bunked lecture.

Join the club.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Vettori is bowling well.

 

[uberkoen]

I can understand Hafeez playing as the 'anchor' but that doesn't mean he has to play at a strike rate below 50. Somewhere around 80's and looking to rotate the strike would still be decent.

 

[waleed88]

Shehzad and hafeez know each other well. Good understanding

 

[imshally81]

Not a bad start.. but itz not a according to the situation...

 

[Ismailtoca]

When Edges go for 6 and you are chasing 370. Hit OUT!

 

[Arsal_AK]

Single.

 

[FreeBird]

What a tulla for six. Even Hafeez didnt know where was it supposed to go?
