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

[blackanhyellow]

3 dumb shots in a row, shehzad, younis, now hafeez.

 

[hur rizvi]

Afridi promoted he is due a failure

 

[mon858]

lol, its powerplay, you hit to fielder (almost caught) once, get 6 anyway.
what do you do next ball, find the exact fielder again, when only 3 fielders outside circle and just needed 4 singles off rest of over!

 

[hur rizvi]

Lucky Afridi

 

[Sizzling Soul]

here we go afridi

 

[mon858]

afridi makes me nervous

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Comments on Hafeez innings? In my humble opinion, set Pakistan back and set Hafeez forward.

 

[adnan yasin]

Can Afridi score fasted hundred today ?

 

[Red Devil]

It's such a tiny ground, Lala needs to target the shorter boundary.

 

[waleed88]

Wowew afridi was almost out

 

[Pete Rose]

A little bit of stupidity being demonstrated.

 

[rollingstoned]

haha thats a cool memory i miss those days probably the golden days of cricket! 90s was different than other eras i am not saying it because pak team was much better than but there were u know those charismatic players in every team the talent was there every team had great players even Zimbabwe of that era can compete with the top nations of this era. It's really hard to get out of those memories for those who have seen the crikcet in 90s i mean how can you forget wasim,sachin,saqlain,akhtar,afridi,donald,klusener,lara,anwar,de silva etc all playing in same era at their peaks?

Too right that. Zimbabwe beat India at home in '98 i remember, something unthinkable nowadays. Remember Olonga owing Tendulkar especially. WI were in decline but still had gun players and Australia weren't yet the juggernaut they would go on to become later. Cricket was simply much more enjoyable then for some reason. It can't just be nostalgia that I feel that way. Maybe those who watched the game in previous generations would have a similar opinion about the good ol' days.

 

[QazzarFan]

Afridi looks like he's itching to go back to the dugout

 

[Arsal_AK]

Yaar what the hell was that

Elliot, Elliot of all people.

About right.

 

[badsha001]

:

 

[waleed88]

Lala should target 37 ball hundred today

 

[Sizzling Soul]

not out

 

[DrSchultz]

Everybody like Boom Booom Boom

 

[Moe]

Where's Corey Anderson when you need him?

 

[hur rizvi]

15 off the over plus wkt of PP

 

[Mamoon]

Comments on Hafeez innings? In my humble opinion, set Pakistan back and set Hafeez forward.

The truth.

 

[Arsal_AK]

15 of the over and a wicket.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Milne in.

 

[Sizzling Soul]

pak should take pp

 

[Red Devil]

Misbah

 

[waleed88]

It is the powerplay

 

[hur rizvi]

Hafeez is gonna play the whole world cup, i hope he clears his action

 

[mon858]

hafeez wicket blessing in disguise, was struggling with injury anyway, lala can better take advantage of powerplay. more likely to get out lala when not in powerplay.

It's not nostalgia bro i have seen cricket in 80s too but what i miss most is 90s cricket and i have seen others who still talking about 90s cricket was a lot interesting than everything was in balance. Zim of that era so many cool players like Streak,Johnson,flower borthers etc

 

[waleed88]

Shiverssss

 

[Mamoon]

There needs to be a TV in the bathroom, or it should be placed in such a position in the room so that you can watch the match by letting the door open.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Misbah so uncomfortable against short stuff

 

[X-factor]

Why cant misbah pace his innings like this on consistent basis...

 

[mon858]

taking a break from following pp. find it hard to refresh here when afridi batting. too risky.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Misbah

RD, I thought he was gone. Why did you do that for??

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Garbage innings from Hafeez. He's limited.!!! Couldn't score big at good tempo. Useless innings .whats the point if he can't carry on with it in when he got a good knick.

 

[Mamoon]

Afridi haters hoping he fails so that they can stroke their egos.

 

[waleed88]

Need one from afridi today.

 

[Mamoon]

Garbage innings from Hafeez. He's limited.!!! Couldn't score big at good tempo. Useless innings .whats the point if he can't carry on with it in when he got a good knick.

Well said, but only if you weren't sarcastic.

 

[waleed88]

Almost chopped it on boom boom

 

[shah_1]

Need 40 runs in next three overs without losing a wicket

 

[hur rizvi]

Misbah is useless in such situations

 

[Arsal_AK]

Garbage innings from Hafeez. He's limited.!!! Couldn't score big at good tempo. Useless innings .whats the point if he can't carry on with it in when he got a good knick.

Epic.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Kaptaan's struggle against pace continues

 

[Red Devil]

RD, I thought he was gone. Why did you do that for??

Lols sorry.. his tuk tuking is annoying me.

 

[waleed88]

Need to hit 36 off vetorri

 

[waleed88]

Afridi underpeessure from vettori woww

 

[Arsal_AK]

Lols sorry.. his tuk tuking is annoying me.

Was 15 off 13 and now 19 off 22.

Going absolutely nowhere.

 

[hur rizvi]

Class bowling by vettori

Afridi

 

[badsha001]

See u guyz tomorrow

 

[Sakss]

3 dots from lala

 

[waleed88]

Loll afridi gone

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Thank you all for coming

Game Over

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Afridi trying too hard. Play your game man....on second thoughts...

 

[shah_1]

OUTTTTTT


Game is over

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Intelligence and experience all worked for Vettori!!

 

[waleed88]

Afridi fans will blame misbah now.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

That was amazing bowling by Vettori.

AFridi outclassed, really.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Back to buissness, Afridi.

What a hack shot.

 

[emranabbas]

afridi should just be afridi and should not change his game

 

[iafzal]

Game set match

 

[Dr_Bassim]

On second note, forget winning this match now. ...

 

[Red Devil]

Vettori is a beast.

 

[waleed88]

Power play has worked against afridi. He is usually smarter than this

 

[vandokkum]

Not every day Afridi is gonna get lucky 5/6 times...

 

[mon858]

credit to vettori has to be said.

 

[Mamoon]

Wonderful by the old dog.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

That was amazing bowling by Vettori.

AFridi outclassed, really.

Indeed it was ....... Totally Outfoxed him 3 times out of 3

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Thank you very much. on your bicycle mate

 

[Arsal_AK]

Game over??

Lol, as if Afridi was going to win you this.

 

[vandokkum]

Power play has worked against afridi. He is usually smarter than this

)

 

[pak4life]

if the management think the hack Afridi is our saviour we definite have major problems

 

[mon858]

On second note, forget winning this match now. ...

here is the thing. still have akmal, misbah at crease, sarfraz and almost forgot harris. bhatti can hold bat too.
and we dont have to last 40 overs, its only a matter of 17 overs. keep RRR under 13 going into last 3 overs with batsmen at crease still possible.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Today the openers played a stable innings but in the context of the match, I thought both were extremely selfish. There is no way you can let the RR climb to 8 and 9 and expect lower order to save your ass.

Very bad innings by both openers.

In truth, we were never in the match after the openers decide to play below 100 SR for 20 overs.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Only in Pak will you promote Afridi over Sarfraz, Umar and Haris.

 

[NZcricketfan]

It would seem the boundaries are not too small

 

[waleed88]

At least its not a maiden

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Oops,Didn't know we still had Akmal left

 

[QazzarFan]

Afridi promoted he is due a failure

Brilliant on the money. This guy is such a brainless slogger. Even after player so many ODIs, he's yet to learn anything.
