New Zealand v Pakistan | Match 33, World Cup | Edgbaston | June 26, 2019 | New Zealand innings

CDG won't hang around, he's going to try and score boundaries.
 
And the resident "experts" Shoaib Akhtar and Rashid Latif wanted Pakistan to bat first irrespective of conditions. Pakistan would've been bowled out for 70 here if they batted first.

I was shocked when shoaib akhtar when azhar ali announced retirement he admitted he call him to take back his odi retirement as you never nows in Pakistan.

Thankfully azhar ali didn't listen to these experts

Really need to get them under 150 but no more than 200.

Pitch will not be easy to bat. Looks like a 230/240 max wicket.
 
Our players have barely timed anything well today.

Y’all got lucky and looked like beasts only because of how well the schedule was put up for you guys. Your one tough game against India got washed out. The rest of your games have been against out of form or lower ranked teams. I’ll be surprised if MZ win any of the three next matches.
 
Sure if that justifies 88/5 after 28 overs for you :)
It explains why there's only been 7 boundaries in 29 overs... and why we haven't looked too convincing, even when we've gotten beaten, we've never looked this poor. Struggling to time the ball and find the boundary.
 
Kane and Guptill should bowl here, it could take more turn in the second innings.

Munro's dibbly dobblies could be of some use too.
 
Pakistan Zindabad! The power of all the Brummies doing really well with this expected incredible support
 
Yo [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] why you keep saying this is unbearable, Pak have NZ on the ropes not vice versa :facepalm:
 
Very good bowling but I can't help feel that the pitch has something in it. If Pakistan let them off the hook then we will see a struggle with the bat. Get them out for less than 150 and play out the overs.

Very tense isn't it?
 
Taking pace off the ball seems to be the way to go, it's hard to time the ball and who knows one might do something.
 
5 wickets indeed are great, but today PAK has controlled the run rate extremely well. No matter what, Kiwis are not going to post 230+ here

That dudes a clown man :)))

You should hear him every time Eng lose. Oh it’s cuz of Roy, Oh it’s cuz of a blip, oh oh oh.
 
CDG and Neesham are no threat as well. Pakistan should be able to chase 200 or so anyway. These guys worry too much.

Obviously want them out asap though.

Anyone remember pakistan being 32/8 against new zealand recently?
 
No!! There's no need for Imad right now . . go for the kill . . bring in Amir . . Shaheen!

This is a very tricky wicket mate, we need to restrict them as low as we possibly can I would be happy with chasing 150
 
Maybe a couple of overs for Haris against de grandhomme? Haris spins it a lot.
