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

[iafzal]

Hafeez seems he is just trying to not get out whereas Shahzad is giving some medicine back to the Kiwis

 

[Mamoon]

What if ..........If Pakistan chase the target ??

It will be a false hope only, but memorable nonetheless.

 

[vandokkum]

Kiwi trundler Southee getting smashed.

waleed bhai run rate concept samajh aya?? please never ever judge odi run rate within first 3 overs, need at least 7-8 as i said.

 

[waleed88]

It's not just this match my friend, he's been failing for a while now.

Hes under pressure. He is the smootest player once he gets going.

 

[s.h.a.k]

Who said Shehzad ain't aggressive batsmen. He bats to the situation. Only if Hafeez wasn't going at a strike rate less then 50 we would be going a really fast pace

 

[Pete Rose]

I guess Hafeez is thinking he is playing a vital role in the partnership by rotating the strike every 16th delivery he faces

 

[iafzal]

was that not wide?

 

[waleed88]

waleed bhai run rate concept samajh aya?? please never ever judge odi run rate within first 3 overs, need at least 7-8 as i said.

Still below 6. We need 8. Whats your point?

 

[Mamoon]

That's the problem you see, Shehzad is either finding the boundary or the fielders hands. No desire to rotate the strike.

This is our problem, and why our RR will drop when the field is pushed back.

 

[badsha001]

If pak can find any player as half good as sewhag, we will take it with both hands

 

[iHammad]

Man we need singles. Shehzad hits a boundary then plays 3 dot balls, could've made that a much better over

 

[waleed88]

Overs from milne havent even begun.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Who said Shehzad ain't aggressive batsmen. He bats to the situation. Only if Hafeez wasn't going at a strike rate less then 50 we would be going a really fast pace

He has no choice when the target is 370.

If it was 270, he would be still blocking every ball.

 

[Mamoon]

Who said Shehzad ain't aggressive batsmen. He bats to the situation. Only if Hafeez wasn't going at a strike rate less then 50 we would be going a really fast pace

Rarely bats according to the situation, today he has no choice because of the target.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Whatt a shot...

 

[waleed88]

Shez has cemented his plaace for the world cup

 

[Sizzling Soul]

fantab shot

 

[mon858]

Shehzad is Rubbish, kick him out of the team and keep Proff in

spare mamoon, he couldn't even watch the same and missing the delusion of NZ bowlers.

 

[badsha001]

Rotating Strike is an art where most pak players failed... This is where fawad alam can be very useful

 

[Arsal_AK]

Rarely bats according to the situation, today he has no choice because of the target.

He has.

He can do a Hafeez....

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Whattay shot. went to the boundary like tracer bullet

 

[Laal]

I agree strike rotation > boundary hitting. We need at least one opener who could rotate strike.

 

[cricfan967]

Shehzad's at his best when he's looking to be aggressive. Often too cautious when batting first.

Yep !!
And Hafeez on the otherside is just trying to save his wicket. This also puts pressure on Shehzad.

 

[Thivagar]

Hafeez doing his own thing

 

[waleed88]

Anything above 20 and you are in the side.

 

[Arsal_AK]

That's the problem you see, Shehzad is either finding the boundary or the fielders hands. No desire to rotate the strike.

This is our problem, and why our RR will drop when the field is pushed back.

That's what coaches are for.

 

[vandokkum]

Pakistan will chase this down in 30 overs if Ahmed Kohli is there till then.

 

[mon858]

shehzad needs to calm not, its not a t20

 

[Red Devil]

That's the problem you see, Shehzad is either finding the boundary or the fielders hands. No desire to rotate the strike.

It's a small ground with fielders inside the circle, not easy to take singles.

 

[waleed88]

Hafeez looks umder pressure. Usually he is a very smooth batsman.

 

[cricfan967]

shehzad needs to calm not, its not a t20

Did you forget we're chasing 8 an over

 

[Mamoon]

Professor making the pitch look like a minefield.

 

[iHammad]

3 singles and a boundary in that over, perfect

 

[Random Aussie]

370 to chase? Lol, not gonna happen.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Hafeez striking under 50. Pathetic stuff.

[waleed88]

Hafeez also derives his confidence from his bowling

 

[blackanhyellow]

shahzads backfoot cover drive the classiest ever?

 

[anuk]

is there a better sight than a rampaging shezad. the looks, the arrogance, the fast mouth (u will burn in hell comment)...this kid has it all

 

[Justcrazy]

Cannot understand why hafeez is still playing.

 

[FreeBird]

It's a small ground with fielders inside the circle, not easy to take singles.

Plus it's a power play

 

[Mamoon]

It's a small ground with fielders inside the circle, not easy to take singles.

Yes, but he's giving himself room and trying to hit a choka on every ball, which is risky.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

He has no choice when the target is 370.

If it was 270, he would be still blocking every ball.

thats why he said he plays according to the situation, if the target was 270, there is no need to go all the way from the beginning, you have time get settled in

 

[Arsal_AK]

Hafeez looks umder pressure. Usually he is a very smooth batsman.

[cricfan967]

Stage is set for lala to reclaim his record

 

[waleed88]

Shehzad will get out to vettori

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Hafeez playing for his average.

 

[Laal]

What the hell has happened to Matthew Sinclair? Damn he's gained some weight.

 

[Justcrazy]

vettori close to 300 wickets .

 

[anuk]

shahzads backfoot cover drive the classiest ever?

yup i would say so. the guy looks like a million bucks.

 

[mon858]

Did you forget we're chasing 8 an over

no. just look at the score line graph we are better off as of now, no wicket lost. so i dont want him to throw it away.

 

[waleed88]

You heard it first here.

 

[FreeBird]

Hafeez looks umder pressure. Usually he is a very smooth batsman.

What a pathetic start from Hafeez. Only trying to get a decent score to secure his place.

Nice work from Shehzad though. Overall, a steady start.

 

[waleed88]

Shehzad to get out on the sixth ball

 

[down4whatever]

Hafeez 13 from 30, hahaha.

 

[cricfan967]

Hafeez looking like a walking wicket

 

[mon858]

younis already chewing gum. misbah looks calm and cool. he knows he can get 56 ball hundered.

 

[waleed88]

Hafeez is playing well.

 

[imshally81]

Wicket or boundary coming soon...

 

[Pete Rose]

Shehzad will slow down vs the spinner while Hafeez will hope to attack

 

[iHammad]

Way too many dot balls

 

[Sizzling Soul]

wooooooooow courtesy to hafeez, vettori only 1 run.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Yes, but he's giving himself room and trying to hit a choka on every ball, which is risky.

That is huge problem with.

Needs to learn how to take singles. If he can do that, he will become a very good bat.

 

[imshally81]

younis already chewing gum. misbah looks calm and cool. he knows he can get 56 ball hundered.

and afridi can get on 37 balls

 

[waleed88]

If hafeez gets going. A 150 is round the corner

 

[Dr_Bassim]

thats why he said he plays according to the situation, if the target was 270, there is no need to go all the way from the beginning, you have time get settled in

He would play so slow, that others will feel the pressure.

Doesn't mean he will play according to situation.

 

[JaDed]

rotate rotate

 

[Red Devil]

Plus it's a power play

Yep. Lets hope he can take full advantage of the PP overs.

 

[imranraf]

selfish Hafeez playing for himself.

 

[Mamoon]

Team Man shouldn't bat in this innings.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Hafeez. )

 

[badsha001]

selfish Hafeez playing for himself.

Dont worry he is trying his best to get out now...

 

[cricfan967]

Hafeez playing for non-existent swing

 

[waleed88]

I think the first mishit got his confidence reeling

 

[s.h.a.k]

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
