New Zealand v Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Hamilton | Jan 14 | New Zealand Innings

[Blackbradman]

Other than that 6, it was a great over

Boundary..Kane 26(15)*

 

[shah_1]

Pop gun attack

 

[Rana]

Havn't mentioned anything about Rizwan,

You didn’t but you do have an issue with a player being labeled a leg side player only?

 

[Human786]

Even Kane is smacking them around

 

[Ahmed216]

Pop gun attack

Yes it is the most indisciplined attack

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan really just look like a sad, pathetic & lazy side at the moment. Poor bowling, lack of line & length as usual, spinners are useless, fielding is awful... team just look lethargic.

NZ could get 250 at this point.

 

[Savak]

Shaheen is going to dissapoint as a captain. He is already looking out of his depth.

Bowling coach Umar Gul needs to be grilled for this bowling performance

 

[jattafridi]

After 10 overs nz 111/1

Pakistan watch and learn

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

You didn’t but you do have an issue with a player being labeled a leg side player only?

I didn't say I have issue, I meant why nobody is calling this out

 

[Darkrai]

These LQ bowlers are bad. PSL must have pathetic standards.

 

[Rana]

Fin Allen century is coming

Player of the match Lion Allen

I was so happy to see him return for NZ

Beautiful player

 

[Croma]

10 (111-1)

 

[Human786]

KW retired hurt

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Williamson walked off, not sure if this is any injury or just treating it as practice game

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

That was painful viewing, what's clear is the team still has too many passengers

Time for sleep, will no doubt wake up to see NZ scored 240 and we were 140 all out

 

[Croma]

NO 6th bowler?

 

[Devadwal]

Kane retired hurt ? Why

 

[Rana]

I didn't say I have issue, I meant why nobody is calling this out

Well it’s because it’s not blatantly obvious

Allen murders pace down the wicket too. Not just in one particular corner/area of the ground

 

[Ahmed216]

Shaheen is going to dissapoint as a captain. He is already looking out of his depth.

Bowling coach Umar Gul needs to be grilled for this bowling performance

We've appointed someone who's struggling with his own game. Things may go downhill for the side even quicker

 

[Nasty Naz]

Nice guy Kane probably just wants to give this poor Pakistani team a sniff of a chance.

But then again, Mitchell is a Pakistani killer who Pakistan can never seem to get out and uhh, goodluck with both Mitchell & Finn out there.

 

[Darkrai]

NZ giving other batters a chance.

 

[Rana]

Afridi absolutely doesn’t rate Iftikhar as a bowler

 

[Energy]

Pakistan at their peak batting best cannot score more than 190 in a T20I game.

 

[Rana]

That was painful viewing, what's clear is the team still has too many passengers

Time for sleep, will no doubt wake up to see NZ scored 240 and we were 140 all out

Enjoy Allen’s batting

Just for cricket aesthetics

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Mitchel is soooo good at hitting straight !!!

 

[Darkrai]

I hope Babar bats at 3 in PSL too and let's Haris open.

 

[Shaka81]

Another humiliating defeat incoming for Pakistan. Terrible team selections don't help but choosing to bowl first on this pitch seems naive at best.

 

[Rana]

This is where Afridi went wrong last time

Didn’t bowl himself and Rauf at this time

 

[BouncerGuy]

Kane retired hurt ? Why

He was stretching his leg and getting some help from the physio in the drinks break.

 

[Ahmed216]

It's safe to say that Usama Mir is worst spinner ever from subcontinent

 

[Human786]

122/1 - 9 to go

 

[RidiculousMan]

Masterclass move by New Zealand to retire Kane. They know he's the slowest of all batters so now him being not there. New Zealand can charge from both ends.

 

[Rana]

Allen’s going to hole out this over I recon

 

[Spitfire]

And this is supposed to be Pakistan's best format.

 

[Darkrai]

Finally Afridi

 

[Rana]

@Maliq_Mudasir you like that off side shot?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

@Maliq_Mudasir you like that off side shot?

Tennis smash is always on, when you bowl a half tracker @120kph

 

[Human786]

decent over

 

[Ahmed216]

For the first time Finn Allen has impressed me. Still young and improving

 

[Rana]

Allen’s run out of gas I think

 

[AAli98]

Kane retired hurt ? Why

Belly’s full from the buffet bowling telling his team mates u have some now

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[Ahmed216]

Allen’s run out of gas I think

Been relatively quiet since PP ended.

 

[Rana]

For the first time Finn Allen has impressed me. Still young and improving

Well,

It makes no difference to him or his life if he doesn’t impress you.

 

[Fazzy321]

Kane shouldn’t have been allowed to retire hurt unless he was seriously injured.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Usama finally got a wicket. What a miracle.

 

[Ahmed216]

Well,

It makes no difference to him or his life if he doesn’t impress you.

Agreed

 

[BouncerGuy]

Usma got him. Allen is gone for 74

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Useless Usama finally got a wicket. What a miracle.

Allen trying to slog everything towards leg side, helped Mir though.

 

[Rana]

So what I understand with this bloke…

He’s a killer player of pace/express pace
+he is an excellent punisher of poor spin bowling

His main weakness is medium pace and change of pace, it seems like he is too early in his shots against it.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Finn Allen is more of a hacker / slasher. Not exactly the replacement or quality of Guptill

 

[Ahmed216]

Usama Mir picks up Allen. Bonus

 

[Croma]

Afridi will bowl only 1 over at the death... Abbas is a good option I guess.

 

[Ahmed216]

Allen has got bigger challenges ahead especially away from home

 

[Blackbradman]

Kane will not take the field.

 

[Ahmed216]

Minimum 220 target

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[Rana]

Chapman last batsman

They have a long tail

 

[Human786]

Big guy gone , 147/3 with 36 balls to go - under or around 200 would be a good effort imo

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Decent comeback from the bowlers here

 

[Shafi]

These lucky wickets will hurt our team more in future!!! Usama will even play World T20 and cost us another World Cup.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Abbas has the last laugh. Mitchel, gone.

 

[BouncerGuy]

usama back with his last over of the match.

 

[Human786]

153/3 - how many in last 5 ?

 

[msb314]

Keep it under 220

 

[BouncerGuy]

pretty good over to end his 4 over quota USama. just 6 off it.

 

[Ahmed216]

Slightly difficult to time the older ball

 

[Ahmed216]

Keep it under 220

Even 200 is above par I feel. This is not a tiny playing field

 

[Human786]

43 in last 4 gets them 200 - need to break this pair in 17th over

 

[BouncerGuy]

Good comeback by bowlers after initial smashing.

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Good comeback by Pak in last few overs.

 

[Croma]

Good comeback... Abbas takes his second!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan is reining it back in at the end. Runs drying up and it gets a wicket. Good over from Rauf and that helps Abbas get a wicket.

 

[Human786]

Santu in & then tail .... what is pace of this Abbas ?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pakistan is reining it back in at the end. Runs drying up and it gets a wicket. Good over from Rauf and that helps Abbas get a wicket.

Abbas looks clever guy, knew last over was good and they will attack now, so used slower ball straightaway.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Santu in & then tail .... what is pace of this Abbas ?

135-138Kph, his stock delivery is slower ball.

 

[Human786]

bang 6

 

[Human786]

135-138Kph, his stock delivery is slower ball.

Test worthy ?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Williamson will not take the field anymore in this Match. He is out for good.
