New Zealand v Pakistan | 4th T20I | Christchurch | Jan 19 | Pakistan Innings

[RidiculousMan]

Short ball and out. Weakness of Pakistani batters for decades

 

[Energy]

Pakistan batters and their short ball troubles

Not their fault they keep facing volleys from Shaheen and Haris in the nets.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Another opener goes

everyone wants to be opener in this team

 

[Rana]

Why is Farhan an opener batting at 5?

Absolute madness.

Because someone has to score 55 off 44 on an absolute road for us

 

[Ahmed216]

Thank you Rizwan for helping us play the entire quota of overs. Official minnows now

 

[Ali Active]

lol sahibzada is an opener
fakhar zaman is an opener
due to rizwan they are being forced to play out of their position

 

[Vikram1989]

In fox ,Nz commentators pointed out that today's ground is meant for running (Boundary percentage out of total:15 )and previous match ground was for hitting boundaries (21).Pak batsman are doing the exact opposite on both days and getting caught today.Does pak team have any analysts or any person with brains?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Sahibzada looked like a tailender from ball one.

He has performed on Pak pitched against Pak bowlers, not sure why folks were excited to see him.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Not their fault they keep facing volleys from Shaheen and Haris in the nets.

It's the conditions. The pitches in Pakistan don't have much bounce. So they get exposed in SENA

 

[Shafi]

This Farhan will still remain parchi as he was before.

 

[Savak]

Pakistan's premier domestic performers are being exposed at the international level vs quality teams. A sad indictment about the quality of our domestic cricket

 

[Ali Active]

lol sahibzada is an opener
fakhar zaman is an opener
due to rizwan they are being forced to play out of their position

if they perform or not perform atleast play them at their position

 

[Croma]

Farhan also goes.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

lol sahibzada is an opener
fakhar zaman is an opener
due to rizwan they are being forced to play out of their position

Please check Fakhars record as an opener, should give u an idea why he was dropped to number 3. He should be happy he was not dropped but moved to different position.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Farhan also gone. Looks like he and azam has some sort of agreement/

 

[Human786]

Will the 33 year young sprightly Ifti explode today ?

 

[Dantheone]

Because someone has to score 55 off 44 on an absolute road for us

At least he's scoring runs and not getting out on low scores. If it's an absolute road then why not others are able to score?

 

[MANU ROY]

Another opener goes

So many openers and Pakistan open with a non opener Rizwan

 

[SamNJ]

Really want Ifti to crack big ones here.

 

[zaidihusain]

Let's see what best finisher Iftikhar will do in this match. I must say he has special connections

 

[Ali Active]

Please check Fakhars record as an opener, should give u an idea why he was dropped to number 3. He should be happy he was not dropped but moved to different position.

record’s dont win u matches rizwan has excellent stats but has lost more matches for us than fakhar

 

[Human786]

Farhan also gone. Looks like he and azam has some sort of agreement/

what kind of understanding ?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

record’s dont win u matches rizwan has excellent stats but has lost more matches for us than fakhar

Who is talking about records? I said check Fakhar's performance as an opener ? That should give you idea why he was demoted.

 

[Aviator]

Only two players worthy of selection in Pakistan team... Babar and Rizwan... Rest all these players are third class....

 

[SamNJ]

Class from Rizwan. Top upper cut.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

anyone from NZ,s 1 to 5 will score minimum 90 off 50 balls on these grounds. not just NZ but anyone from Ind/Aus/SA too

 

[Ahmed216]

So many openers and Pakistan open with a non opener Rizwan

They should become proper cricketers first then think about opening. Saim the flavour of season is proving to be a disaster and look at Farhan's shot against quick short ball. Bahot aaye bahot gaye

Sachin started his career at 6. Showed promise and performed and slowly moved up the batting order.
U don't remove ur performing players to accomodate good for nothing duds.

 

[BouncerGuy]

what kind of understanding ?

to not perform after making a comeback in the team.

 

[Croma]

Pakistan's premier domestic performers are being exposed at the international level vs quality teams. A sad indictment about the quality of our domestic cricket

true

 

[Ali Active]

Who is talking about records? I said check Fakhar's performance as an opener ? That should give you idea why he was demoted.

fakhar was demoted because he got injured and rizwan took his place and stat paded and when fakhar got back his position was snatched

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

fakhar was demoted because he got injured and rizwan took his place and stat paded and when fakhar got back his position was snatched

Still haven't answered my question, check his record.

He averages 11 @110 SR in last 17 innings.

 

[SamNJ]

Tuktuk is contagious.

 

[Croma]

Riz targetting 100 now

 

[BouncerGuy]

Lots of singles. Still 2 sessions left in the day I guess.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

man we cant even take on southee with gentle pace

 

[160KPH]

Rizwan only one able to do anything today.. need others to give him some support

 

[Human786]

112- 5 overs left - 165 ?

 

[Croma]

Riz need 1 boundary per over to get to 100, and 2 singles

 

[SamNJ]

Rizwan tonking big ones.

 

[Fazzy321]

Cant even hit this trundler Southee

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Rizwan finally deciding he has padded enough.

Possibly looking for his 100.

 

[Ahmed216]

Let's criticise the guy who's scored 65% of team runs

 

[BouncerGuy]

4 and 6 to finish the over. Good

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Rizwan only one able to do anything today.. need others to give him some support

That has been story of the series. No one values their wicket, everyone wants to hit 1 glory shot!

 

[Shafi]

Everyone is taking risks.

Rizwan is taking singles.

And in the end they will say Rizwan is hero.

By your logic Rizwan should throw his wicket just like others. So 9 of 15 by Fakhar with SR 60 is more attacking than 74 of 52 SR 142 Rizwan. How hateful and bias people can be?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Iffi as usually playing like a street cricketer.

 

[SamNJ]

Rizwan is the best T20I batsman in Pakistan. Unnecessary hate will solve no problems

 

[Blackbradman]

Rizwan 54 balls 78 , Others and extras 40 balls 39.. selfish from Rizwan.

 

[Energy]

Rizwan has upped the ante.

Ofcourse it's his job to aggregate, play at 150 SR, build partnerships and score high percentage runs.

Job for other batters is to show intent.

 

[Ali Active]

Let's criticise the guy who's scored 65% of team runs

that guy will fail 99 percent in crunch matches
u cant be 55 of 44 in t20s and expect to accelerate later u will not be successful everytime and everytime u will leave your team in shambles

 

[Shafi]

That has been story of the series. No one values their wicket, everyone wants to hit 1 glory shot!

But people like Rana, Bassim that's a glory. But these people actually waste more balls than Rizwan and score much less

 

[SamNJ]

Santner didn't concede a boundary. Crazy bowling.

 

[Mohraheem]

Look at this useless Chacha

 

[BouncerGuy]

Santner you beauty. Beautiful spell from him.

 

[Energy]

Commando Safeguard Chacha is holding forte.

 

[Rana]

Wow

Hit a six and 4 having faced 50 deliveries and it will make it look like you’ve played brilliantly

 

[Dr_Bassim]

He is definitely chasing his 100 now.

 

[Mohraheem]

Chacha tuktuk Misbah 2.0

 

[AAli98]

58 year old Ifty looking & batting like his got every disease in the book.

 

[Ahmed216]

that guy will fail 99 percent in crunch matches
u cant be 55 of 44 in t20s and expect to accelerate later u will not be successful everytime and everytime u will leave your team in shambles

Bhai find players in Pak who can bat like warners and Maxwell's or name those players. Asif Ali??
Beggars cannot be choosers.

 

[Rana]

Most useless T20 opener in the world

 

[shah9425]

Keep going Rizwan

 

[ask_analyse_act]

8 games 7 innings and a mighty average of 4

With highest score of 10

And a strike rate of 90 for someone whom we were told hits big shots he only has 1 six.


Move on from azam he's clearly not intl material.

Exactly the only thing that gets him 8 matches was because of nepotism

Deserving players like Haris are being kept out even Haseebullah who looks like a good prospect wasn’t given the time and chance that this guy had

 

[Ali Active]

Wow

Hit a six and 4 having faced 50 deliveries and it will make it look like you’ve played brilliantly

everyone will celebrate this useless knock and we will then regret it later at wc when he fails

 

[Croma]

Such pathetic batting seriously

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

problem with our batsmen is that everyone is slow starter..in modern t20 cricket you need to get on with it from get go.. this is 3rd time in this series that we had momentum , which was totally killed by a wicket falling...our batters are slow starters and it allows the good bowling units to take hold

 

[Mohraheem]

Chacha playing test match

 

[Rana]

everyone will celebrate this useless knock and we will then regret it later at wc when he fails

I won’t celebrate it.

I’m not dishonest. I have to answer to God. I will not lie to him because I love Rizwan

 

[Ahmed216]

Iftikhar ahmed the power hitter wants to score a decent 20 OFF 20 and cement his spot for WC

 

[Rana]

Keep going Rizwan

Yes, keep going on your mission to destroy Pakistan cricket

That’s what you want

 

[Shafi]

Wow

Hit a six and 4 having faced 50 deliveries and it will make it look like you’ve played brilliantly

Hit 9 of 15 with SR 60 is just like SR 600 for you?

 

[Croma]

Ifti

 

[Human786]

Top over - 124/4 - 18 balls left

 

[AAli98]

Once in a generation talent Saim Ayub has been sussed out at international level.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Rizwan has officially sealed Pakistan crickets fate

 

[BouncerGuy]

Santner just gave away 23 in his 4 overs but i am seeing Nawaz will give away that many or more in his first over

 

[MenInG]

Yes, keep going on your mission to destroy Pakistan cricket

That’s what you want

so better for Rizwan to be out early so we can have a humiliating 10 wicket win to make some happy?

 

[Shafi]

everyone will celebrate this useless knock and we will then regret it later at wc when he fails

Bro, did Rizwan prevent others to score even run a ball?

 

[Human786]

Iffi as usually playing like a street cricketer.

He is a young man & has plenty o time to learn

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Be prepared for a Sajda after 19 runs irrespective of Pakistan being at 7 per over in 17 overs.
