New Zealand v Pakistan | 3rd T20I | Napier | 22 December | New Zealand innings

[Ozeirk]

You can't count on Rauf to finish the game off. Amir recently had to bowl a super over and single handedly won the game for his team in psl. You can't really account on Rauf and Shaheen to end the game for you

 

[Rana]

They will probably get 180

 

[ARK Rafay]

190 is on. Dare I say

 

[imshally81]

4 & 6

 

[shah_1]

Shaheen has been club level

 

[Jeetlodil]

Shaheen starts like Wasim Akram and gets walloped like Shaheen Shah

 

[Gullycricket]

Man this is turning out to be embrassing

 

[Energy]

Don't think if I've ever seen Rauf bowl to a field. Or have an idea about where the field is. Just does what he thinks best which isn't much.

Shaheen the same too in this game. Half volleys are being bowled consistently. No pressure at all.

 

[Firebat]

Horrible death bowling. We’re going to lose this game in these last 3 overs

 

[Aman]

180 on.

 

[JibranAnsari]

shaheen should have been rested today.

 

[Ozeirk]

Our batsmen were going to struggle with 150 guys. We have one established batsmen in the side Hafeez.

 

[Mamoon]

Conway is New Zealand’s Malan.

Not the most talented batsman in the side but knows his game really well with solid temperament. Excellent addition to their team.

Will be a successful T20 league player as well.

 

[Aman]

Kuggeleijn is a big hitter.

 

[imshally81]

Out finally

 

[JibranAnsari]

misbah takes the catch .. 5 down

 

[MHN1293]

Rauf really is the next wahab. Has 1 good game then is mediocre for the rest of the tour. Picks up 1 lucky wicketat the start and then proceeds to release the pressure at the death.

 

[hamaadqureshi]

We have lost the game in these 8 balls itself

 

[Aman]

Enough damage done, now to Conway and Jamieson to finish the innings.

 

[Mamoon]

Don't think if I've ever seen Rauf bowl to a field. Or have an idea about where the field is. Just does what he thinks best which isn't much.

This is what you get when you bring tape ball bowlers into international cricket. He is used to bowling fast to Pepsi crates and garden chairs.

The bowlers are throwing pies at him. They aren't using their brains

 

[Rana]

Ifti Chacha isn’t too bad on the boundary also I guess.

 

[watson367]

180 is on now.

 

[ARK Rafay]

With a score over 170 on this ground. Only batsman that can keep up with strike rate for Pakistan are Haider, Hafeez, Khushdil and Iftikhar.

 

[Aman]

People talking down to Conway, he's a class player.

He has killed it in every format in domestic cricket.

 

[Xoib]

I will get hanged for this mamnoon will have a heart attack but I am backing Naseem and Hasnain to have a better career then Shaheen once they gain some experience.

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is what you get when you bring tape ball bowlers into international cricket. He is used to bowling fast to Pepsi crates and garden chairs.

Yeah, and Shaheen is world-class.

 

[Ozeirk]

With a score over 170 on this ground. Only batsman that can keep up with strike rate for Pakistan are Haider, Hafeez, Khushdil and Iftikhar.

You're joking right?

 

[watson367]

last over will decide the match.

 

[Mamoon]

Rauf doesn’t know how to bowl to a field. He is used to dismissing batsmen if they hit him to a neighbor’s house.

 

[Gullycricket]

Don't think if I've ever seen Rauf bowl to a field. Or have an idea about where the field is. Just does what he thinks best which isn't much.

Shaheen the same too in this game. Half volleys are being bowled consistently. No pressure at all.

Remember Babar scolded him against England for same reason

 

[Jeetlodil]

Rauf must be scared bowling the last one. half century beckons

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ifti Chacha isn’t too bad on the boundary also I guess.

This is how easily Pakistani fans get excited now. When someone doesn’t even have to move a muscle for a catch on the boundary

 

[Usman Chadda]

'World-class' pace bowler getting bashed all over the place by a tail-ender. Sick of Shaheen losing the plot when attacked.

 

[hamaadqureshi]

last over will decide the match.

Already decided by these 2 overs

 

[shariqnoor]

No Pakistani bowler knows how to bowl wide yorkers.

 

[Mean&Green]

Why is this a idiot bowling half volleys pace deliveries when no one can touch a slower ball

 

[ARK Rafay]

This last over is gonna end bad. I sense 20+ runs of it

 

[Snowflake]

6 length balls from Shaheen in that over. Wow

 

[Rana]

Streets lol

 

[King_Kohli]

With a score over 170 on this ground. Only batsman that can keep up with strike rate for Pakistan are Haider, Hafeez, Khushdil and Iftikhar.

This is batting pitch and small ground.
Pakistan can chase.

 

[watson367]

32 from last 2.

 

[hamaadqureshi]

I'll put my money on southee to hit 2 sixes in this over

 

[watson367]

no ball lmao. tape ball style.

 

[Gullycricket]

Here we go

 

[Mamoon]

Yeah, and Shaheen is world-class.

He is like Wasim if you compare him to rock thrower. He is a Test class cricketer.

 

[ARK Rafay]

This is batting pitch and small ground.
Pakistan can chase.

Only if those batsman get more balls to play.

 

[Rana]

No Pakistani bowler knows how to bowl wide yorkers.

No point on these short straight boundaries..

 

[Ozeirk]

Our team has lost the plot. Misbah had definitely changed something about the team that they have forgotten how to play t20s. Also, why do I feel there is fight for captaincy in our team.

 

[Jeetlodil]

12 runs for half century

 

[marlonbrowndo]

We are pure comedy )

 

[Gullycricket]

Haris Streeter losing it

 

[Usman Chadda]

He is like Wasim if you compare him to rock thrower. He is a Test class cricketer.

It definitely shows. Bowling half-volley after half-volley, with mid-off up, is definitely Test class.

 

[Rana]

Worlds best keeper didn’t want to catch it

 

[Aman]

Jesus, I thought Pakistan's fielding had improved after the first game but they've been dire since then.

 

[imshally81]

Outttt

 

[watson367]

shameless fielding.

 

[JibranAnsari]

faheem totally lost it in the air

 

[MHN1293]

Conway last 18 balls 41 rus.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This was almost like that Malik, Ajmal situation from years ago. Not as funny though

 

[Rana]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] says Rizwan is the best keeper in the world

 

[Usman Chadda]

Jesus, I thought Pakistan's fielding had improved after the first game but they've been dire since then.

Watch us become worse during the Test series.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

shaheen and harris having an off day

 

[JibranAnsari]

good job by pakistan after totally plain bowling.

 

[shariqnoor]

This total is already 30 runs too much due to ridiculous bowling and atrocious fielding.

 

[waleed88]

Rizwan L888

 

[Gullycricket]

This was almost like that Malik, Ajmal situation from years ago. Not as funny though

Trust us to come up with such gems

 

[watson367]

faheem totally lost it in the air

dont bad mouth rana. he was the reason NZ didnt get 200.

 

[Ozeirk]

shaheen and harris having an off day

Haris is a gamble. He is always expensive but he will get you some wickets on a good day. Not a long term solution at all.

 

[Firebat]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] says Rizwan is the best keeper in the world

Was never Rizwan’s catch, went straight to Faheem and he missed it

 

[King_Kohli]

Speed is overrate in T20's.
Variations are important, reason for Faheem's success today

 

[Rana]

The worlds best keeper has done nothing in this series to validate this claim

 

[Usman Chadda]

This total is already 30 runs too much due to ridiculous bowling and atrocious fielding.

Any half decent batting line-up would chase this down on this ground. Pakistan can't.

 

[Omer2002]

Shaheen needs to find his form

 

[MHN1293]

Comeon southee get haris to 50. What a proud moment it will be for him.

 

[D/DAhmed]

I think we all forget to include our pathetic fielding when we judge our bowlers. Shadab and Rauf’s figures look horrendous today, but with some above-average fielding they could actually have had some decent returns

 

[hamaadqureshi]

shaheen and harris having an off day

Rather an off series

 

[Jeetlodil]

no half century.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Perfect way to end. Sums it all up

 

[imshally81]

Better over by harris
