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

Sarfraz or Akmal should be in next not yk

 

[Arsal_AK]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] Another case for Hafeez down the order??

He can be very useful in the middle vs Spinners and down at the end. Looked clueless at the beginning and now in top gear.

 

[JaDed]

zero wicket for 103 this is Acid test for the Pak middle order lets see who steps up unless the openers itself complete it.

 

[mon858]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] what was nz score at this stage?

I don't think anything is going to change for him down the order.

He is a hit and miss player and will continue to be inconsistent.

Also, he is mentally weak so he will not win you many 50-50 games.

 

[uberkoen]

Only another 267 runs needed. We're almost there lads!

 

[Justcrazy]

Now is the real test , can Pakistan capatalize on the foundation

 

[JaDed]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] what was nz score at this stage?

98/1 in 18 overs

 

[Mamoon]

I hate the way Hafeez salutes with his bat upside down. Deserves a show-cause notice for this travesty.

 

[axl100mph]

Shehzad tries to mimic devilliers when it comes to his batting style. Dont u think?

 

[uberkoen]

Question is should Afridi come down the order and play as a finished with around 8 per over required or up the order?

 

[Sizzling Soul]

rusty talent of hafeez spotted

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Question is how long can Pakistan sustain the pressure of chasing 8.5 per over

 

[JaDed]

Vettori is back lets see whether he can do what he did with his first spell

 

[cricfan967]

Some similarities, both are very flashy. Shehzad just doesn't have the same level of strength.

Dot balls need to be avoided.

 

[Mamoon]

Shehzad just 2 runs ahead of Hafeez in the same number of deliveries, in spite of the contrasting starts.

Pathetic by Shehzad in the last hour, and brilliant by Hafeez.

 

[Red Devil]

Vettori is ridiculously accurate with his line and length.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Great from Mcullum allowing to stop the game for 10 minutes

 

[Arsal_AK]

Go off. Why are they still playing??

We cant afford to lose a wicket to the sun.

 

[JaDed]

Vettori hardly gives more than 3 runs in an over.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan struggling against spin

 

[imranraf]

Shehzad can't play spin.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Take a break. Nz umpire wants it but aussie doesn't

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

shezhad is weak against spin,

promote afridi against the spinners

 

[mon858]

Question is should Afridi come down the order and play as a finished with around 8 per over required or up the order?

down the other after 35 overs.
keep same batting order while batsmen trying to score 6-7 runs per over, including younis and misbah.
akmal, sarfraz, afridi would be asked to score 10/over which is doable on this ground if wickets in hand.
haris blend in with the flow.

 

[badsha001]

afridi please

 

[hamzie]

scorecards a pleasant surprise

 

[Strike Rate]

Send Akmal pls

 

[Red Devil]

Throws it away

 

[JaDed]

Vettori put the pressure and Mcc got the wicket.

 

[Mamoon]

Another useless knock by Shehzad, only serving to boost his average.

 

[Sizzling Soul]

bad omen nelson figure

 

[Justcrazy]

Shehzad gone

 

[CalculatedRisk]

our batsmen are only good for a 50s.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Send in Sarfraz. He is brilliant against spin.

 

[JaDed]

Nzcricketfan comes and a wicket goes or otherway around lol

 

[Sizzling Soul]

Another useless knock by Shehzad, only serving to boost his average.

knock was not useless, shot was indeed

 

[GreenKnightRises]

MYK Misbah to come

 

[Red Devil]

YK in )

 

[cricfan967]

Shehzad's shots never seem to carry the distance

[Arsal_AK]

Younis.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

In the context of chasing 370, the scorecard is miserable for both batsmen.

They both are striking at under 100 runs SR while Taylor and Willamson were striking at 165 and 150 respectively easily all game.

I don't think we can win with less than 100 SR.

Sure it's an improvement from 50 SR but chasing 370 ... ??

 

[Moe]

Younis in

 

[Sam18696]

Please let it be Sarfraz

 

[Sizzling Soul]

Send Akmal pls

but Sorry, All time ever green Great yk

 

[JaDed]

Younis is goign to surprise everyone today

 

[ads101]

Damn Shehzad out.

Played really well at the start, not so great at the end of the innings. Overall good innings though.

Good thing is at least YK is coming in late. Hopefully he starts to pick up singles from the get go here.

 

[Mamoon]

knock was not useless, shot was indeed

For an opener, 55 of 62 while chasing 370 is useless. You have to convert that into a big score.

Man you are so negative that you can't appreciate a good start given this is the last time i am quoting you on PP! i have decided to stop any debate with you from now

 

[Arsal_AK]

Not again.

 

[uberkoen]

The experienced Younis Khan to lead the way now.

 

[Suleiman]

lol YK promoted, better say good game.

Going to bring in U Akmal or Sarfraz when the RRR is 20.04, and when they try to hit out, blame them.

 

[Justcrazy]

115 / 1

required rate constantly increasing here.

 

[mon858]

what a dumb shot. You know there is a fielder there. *********.

dude its a small ground, ball turned a little more and got inside of bat. listen to the commies at least.

 

[uberkoen]

For an opener, 55 of 62 while chasing 370 is useless. You have to convert that into a big score.

I see. Just like the Kiwi openers, correct?

 

[Anchorman]

Poor stuff from Shehzad. Was hoping he would channel his inner Kohli. Instead he ended up getting out to a part-timer, and a SR of under 100 chasing 370.

 

[Sam18696]

Well YK did say he will Bat at no.3

This is really selfish of him tbh.

 

[Zeshan547]

Just imagine the reaction on PP if Yk and hafiz somehow chase this down troll whole PP.

 

[JaDed]

For an opener, 55 of 62 while chasing 370 is useless. You have to convert that into a big score.

If Hafeez does well and gets it to the end then Shehzad did his job.You need to appreciate the man atleast he was aggressive this time.

 

[Arsal_AK]

The only good YK can do here is milk the spinners with the occasional boundary.

If the pacers come on though.....

 

[badsha001]

Just imagine the reaction on PP if Yk and hafiz somehow chase this down troll whole PP.

If it happens, i will quit cricket

 

[Mamoon]

I see. Just like the Kiwi openers, correct?

They weren't chasing 370, and they didn't play very well. What's your point?

One of your top 3 has to bat through and score big if you're to chase such a big total. Shehzad failed on that front.

Let's see what Hafeez is made of.

No expectations from Saint Younis.

 

[mon858]

younis 4 off 6. wow

 

[Sam18696]

Yk please get out man.

 

[Pete Rose]

younis 4 off 6. wow

Spinners

 

[JaDed]

Younis the man

 

[blackanhyellow]

dude its a small ground, ball turned a little more and got inside of bat. listen to the commies at least.

it doesnt matter. If there is a fielder at long on and you try to hit over his head and get caught, its a dumb shot.

 

[iafzal]

nice looking shot

 

[FreeBird]

These are some really fair and unbias commentators talking about sun light in batsman's eyes.

 

[mon858]

take the powerplay now, younis in spanking form.

 

[desi_launda]

Younus SR 112.5

 

[JaDed]

Younis gonna score century and shut the pessimism

 

[ads101]

I feel YK will bat quick, people will be surprised. Coming in late, he's capable of it, especially against spin. Dunno why we insist on playing him up the order.

 

[iafzal]

all of sudden running between the wkt has improved

 

[Sizzling Soul]

Man you are so negative that you can't appreciate a good start given this is the last time i am quoting you on PP! i have decided to stop any debate with you from now

you are late, but still Good decision

 

[Mamoon]

If Hafeez does well and gets it to the end then Shehzad did his job.You need to appreciate the man atleast he was aggressive this time.

He didn't do any job. It was a poor innings in context.

 

[Red Devil]

For an opener, 55 of 62 while chasing 370 is useless. You have to convert that into a big score.

Although it wasn't an exceptional innings by any means but his his innings has provided a good platform for us.

 

[mon858]

it doesnt matter. If there is a fielder at long on and you try to hit over his head and get caught, its a dumb shot.

if you dont target and hit mccullum out of the part for occasional six how do you expect to chase 370???

 

[cricfan967]

Younus has definitely been told bat with intent, looking good right now
