New Zealand v Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Hamilton | 20 December | Pakistan innings

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan's approach is so bad

 

[watson367]

Faheem will save us no worries.

 

[Nadeemp]

Big swing

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Whats with this blind slogging by Haider

And Abdullah?

 

[watson367]

Whats with this blind slogging by Haider

trying to hard to be Afridi perhaps?

 

[Baigel]

Whats with this blind slogging by Haider

Don’t think he slogged one ball in that innings?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Faheem will save us no worries.

That's pushing luck. Expectations should be lower

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Faheem will save us no worries.

You mean Kallis

 

[watson367]

Only 2 wickets down, good start

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Don’t think he slogged one ball in that innings?

He only played 3

 

[msb314]

Not sure why Hafeez is consuming so many dot balls..

 

[Nadeemp]

The ***** look clueless

 

[watson367]

next thread is abdullah shafique becoming asad shafiq?

 

[Nadeemp]

You mean Kallis

Gary sobers jr

 

[Baigel]

He only played 3

Once again, did he slog in those 3 balls?

 

[Rana]

Hafeez waiting for spinners

 

[Ayubhbaloch]

Not sure why Hafeez is consuming so many dot balls..

game plan senior player respect his approach atleast.

 

[Darkness]

Hafeez must get throw this spell to feast upon spin

 

[Nadeemp]

Once again, did he slog in those 3 balls?[/QUOTE
Some hotties in the crowd

 

[angrypathan]

Left by Hafeez. Thinking of taking back his test retirement?

 

[Rana]

next thread is abdullah shafique becoming asad shafiq?

Lol yeah

 

[uberkoen]

next thread is abdullah shafique becoming asad shafiq?

He needs to score a run or two to even be compared to Asad Shafiq

 

[watson367]

NZ be like konse bachay aagya idhar?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Another middling innings by rizwan. It seems that he can not even dominate when set

 

[MMHS]

Don't see us chasing with this batting line up. But if we can somehow put 160 on the board we might have a chance.
Don't know how we can manage 160 tough.

In NZ, batting second means at least 15-20 handicap. PAK batting first means they’ll need to dice 20 more than per against this kiwi attack. ODI, I understand- chasing over 50 overs needs lots of rotation & partnership building, but for T20, even Wahab can come and hit couple of 6, when asking is like 23 of 12.

 

[angrypathan]

Rizwan goes

 

[Nadeemp]

The professor needs to get in gear

 

[naseem]

No idea why we can't pick Sharjeel atleast 4 t20s....Rizwan is not for t20

 

[ARK Rafay]

Pakistan have no escape. It was Duffy then Southee now but same Pakistan

 

[uberkoen]

Rizwan gone. lol

 

[Rana]

Once again, Rizwan fans will say he has been the best player for us and deserves the long rope

 

[watson367]

Rizwan gone now, maro mujhe.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Southee decimating this side today

 

[waleed88]

Rizwan goes after wasting around 2 overs and not making up for it.

 

[msb314]

Thank you for nothing Rizwan..

 

[sindhiboy]

Lol they can't play southee

 

[shamaan]

Great innings by rizwan

 

[Omer2002]

Rizwan looked like a rabbit again abs diabolical but because he got a 20 i guess he will stay in team for next 10 yrs...

 

[shah_1]

You know that you are an extremely poor team when Rizwan is your opener

 

[PakPremi]

Reasonable inning from Rizwan considering he is not a T20 batsman

 

[ARK Rafay]

Pakistan are struggling vs Southee bowling test match line in a T20 game. I wonder what will happen when Test matches will come

 

[shamaan]

Southee on fire

 

[angrypathan]

Ridiculously good bowling

 

[Ayubhbaloch]

if we make 170 we will defend it easily.

 

[Slog]

Why is Shadab batting at 5? Does he think he’s a pure all rounder now?

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is a difficult wicket, the swing Jameson and Southee are generating is crazy. Need 150 to compete here.

 

[IAJ]

Proper Test cricket bowling and that is enough against our guys

 

[waleed88]

'Caught behind! His game is all about hard hands. His game is all in your face. Southee has sussed that up. He's also got the away swing working for him. So he pitches the ball up. He asks Rizwan to drive on the up. Rizwan does and nicks through to the keeper. Gorgeous bowling. Not so bright batting.'

Cricinfo commentary. Guy is not brightest in my opinion.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan looked like a rabbit again abs diabolical but because he got a 20 i guess he will stay in team for next 10 yrs...

Misbah and Waqar Younis want this, they need this

 

[watson367]

Apna time aayega, (maybe after 10 years).

 

[Omer2002]

3 slips in a 2020...isnt thst insultong for sn internationsl team. Here ppl were saying we would give them a better game than windies

 

[Slog]

No idea why we can't pick Sharjeel atleast 4 t20s....Rizwan is not for t20

Sharjeel needs to pass fitness tests for that.

 

[msb314]

pahetic..

 

[IAJ]

Why is Shadab batting at 5? Does he think he’s a pure all rounder now?

Do you have any better options than him?

 

[shah_1]

Rizwan looked like a rabbit again abs diabolical but because he got a 20 i guess he will stay in team for next 10 yrs...

Our top 3 are the worst in the world

 

[waleed88]

Shadab will become the new Shoaib Malik.

 

[msb314]

Why is Shadab batting at 5? Does he think he’s a pure all rounder now?

Looks who ahead of him and you will realize why..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan doing a Pakistan

Its as simple as that like Mamoon says

 

[Zeshan547]

why would you not bowl first this swinging pitch, thick tank strike again. Shaheen could have ended NZ by himself.

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries

 

[watson367]

professor with a boundary

 

[Jeetlodil]

Pakistan cross 36 with only loss of 3 wickets

 

[angrypathan]

Consecutive boundaries by the don

 

[watson367]

back to back from the universe boss

 

[uberkoen]

Our top 3 are the worst in the world

4. Top 4. Not sure why you're not including Hafeez. He won't get into the starting 11 of any other team

 

[IAJ]

Chalo, we have gone pass 36

 

[CricketZ]

Once again, Rizwan fans will say he has been the best player for us and deserves the long rope

Technically they are not wrong.

 

[Zeshan547]

Take your sweet time hafeez bhai.

 

[imshally81]

Lucky boundary by Shadab

 

[Rana]

Man this guy is average

What was all the hype about?

 

[sindhiboy]

Bang average bowler being hyped to the moon Jamieson

He has made all the difference in the test bowling attack. Cuz of him, they look lethal
Though he probably isn't as effective in limited overs

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Hafeez hit boundary to get pass legendary figure 36.

 

[uberkoen]

It's shocking that we have to rely on a part timer like Shadab to help us get to a decent score when normally someone like him shouldn't even be in contention to be in the playing XI

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan is useless player...

 

[watson367]

Tape ball boundary

 

[sindhiboy]

Man this guy is average

What was all the hype about?

Wait one week when the test match begins

 

[taqi]

better start than previous one but still too many wickets lost in start

 

[uberkoen]

Just look at your lineup. It's full of maybe's. Khushdil. Shadab. Faheem. Wahab. Hafeez. Shafique. Rizwan. Haidar Ali.

They couldn't field a worse side even if they tried.

 

[Snowflake]

Our top 3 are the worst in the world

Even the most patriotic fan would be challenged to argue that.

I'm struggling to understand How this Abdullah guy became a professional cricketer? The shot that he played... You'd embarrassed play that even in backyard cricket!

 

[watson367]

Man this guy is average

What was all the hype about?

what do you expect him to get hatrick?
