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

[Hasan123]

Amir has 6 overs left.

 

[saeed5646]

Imad with his usual garbage against left handed batsmen

 

[QalandarFan]

Indeed different condition and scenario but the point was santner can bat .he finish one close match for Nz against bd in current worldcup

Never said he can’t bat, but saying he can come out here and smash a fifty where even Williamson has struggled is outlandish.

 

[Aman]

Is the pitch tough or are having a really off day, because even on off days most teams even minnows wouldn't be 101/5 off 31 overs.

Scoring rate is super low.

 

[the Great Khan]

pitch still worries me...our batting could easily implode on this..

 

[sindhiboy]

Unlike

 

[Sunzi]

Imad not the shout here.

 

[Deewana]

Imad is pure crap
hate him

 

[saabir]

It's Not an easy pitch to bat on. Ball is turning and seaming around. Anything over 220 should be competitive

 

[sindhiboy]

Unlikely nz will get 200

 

[QalandarFan]

That is just sad he can't be that bad lol

Oh he is trust me He called Australia over-rated as well Guess who the first team to qualify for the Finals.

 

[the Great Khan]

Is the pitch tough or are having a really off day, because even on off days most teams even minnows wouldn't be 101/5 off 31 overs.

used pitch and its turning..need to graft to get runs..but if you bowl rubbish you will get smashed..

 

[Hasan123]

Bring Amir on and set a test match field.

 

[Grunge101]

why is Imad on..i mean seriously?...if you want to exploit the turn on this surface, bring in Hafeez. Otherwise go to Amir...we cant let them bat out the entire 50 overs

 

[ARK Rafay]

How many spinners do Pakistan have

1. Shadab
2. Hafeez
3. Imad
4. Haris
5. Fakhar

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Rubbish bowling

Fatnaldo bowling such defensive lines in such a situation, shows his mentality

 

[Omer2002]

what a pathetic over by imad and pathatic captaincy..all pressure released...as i said haris spins it more no need for imad just use hafeez if you are scared to try haris

 

[QalandarFan]

Is the pitch tough or are having a really off day, because even on off days most teams even minnows wouldn't be 101/5 off 31 overs.

Scoring rate is super low.

It’s called not playing a lower ranked team or out of form team.

 

[Deewana]

bring on amir

 

[lahoriyah1234]

pitch still worries me...our batting could easily implode on this..

Oh bhai pitch has nothing. Conditions are favourable for bowlers. Most nzl batsmen got out to a poor shots only 2 bats got good deliveries ross and kane.

 

[Aman]

Has Newzealand made wrong decision to bat first ?!

I don't know, it could be tougher in the second innings. Problem is we're only playing one spinner...

 

[NauV]

Not to be too critical at a time when the team is doing well . . Hafeez is fielding at short mid wicket to Imad . . A left arm darter to the right hander . . you'd argue, short mid wicket would be the most important position and hence you need your most mobile fielder there . . and we ahve Hafeez! I bet no other team would have their least mobile fielder at that position for a bowler like Imad

 

[BleedGreen]

we need them
Under 180

 

[zee-za-man]

Should bowl in Haris, Imad is pathetic.

Sarfaraz more interested in getting the overs in than going for the kill. He got in 7 by Hafeez before the 25 overs.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Is the pitch tough or are having a really off day, because even on off days most teams even minnows wouldn't be 101/5 off 31 overs.

Scoring rate is super low.

Off day.

 

[shaz619]

My family are there, messaging me constantly; they have attended games here since 1999 and say the atmosphere is up there with the most electric ever at the ground. Wish I was there aha God willing Pak win this compatibly

 

[Nasty Naz]

Sarfraz, you've done a pretty good job at being aggressive this match, don't be stupid now and bowl Imad.

Amir or Shaheen need to come into the attack. It's about picking up wickets, not preventing runs.

 

[cricketfan11]

I have said many times, Imad's style of bowling is more suited to T20

 

[NauV]

No!! There's no need for Imad right now . . go for the kill . . bring in Amir . . Shaheen!

Hafeez has already bowled 7 . . no need for Imad right now . . get more wickets in!

 

[saeed5646]

Shadab is relying on leg spin too much .A good wrong on is needed

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Noooooo

 

[Madplayer]

Get another wicket bro

 

[BleedGreen]

Imad is useless

 

[Green Patriot]

Oh dear.
Poor over.

 

[Hasan123]

So annoying.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Perfect situation for Amir's cutters here

 

[JellyBro]

Nz probably will end up making 180-200. Excellent bowling from our boys. Cant believe Shaheen is only 19 years old

 

[Aman]

Unplayable.

 

[cricketfan11]

Haris gives more flight
Better option than Imad
Should be high on confidence as well after the effort in the last game

 

[Madplayer]

Touch wicket to bat on. Pakistan cant afford to give away more than 150 here.

 

[IAJ]

Moving into dangerous territory now

 

[shaz619]

It’s called not playing a lower ranked team or out of form team.

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] come back and support the team

 

[BleedGreen]

Need wicket now

 

[Fahdi]

Harris may not be a bad option as one poster here suggested. He has that nice loop and turn.

CDG has been very lucky to survive so far.

I'd bring in Amir now though

 

[ARK Rafay]

Hafeez - 7 overs
Imad - 2 overs

1 is needed from either

 

[Aman]

Is it me or is this pitch getting worse?

 

[Green Patriot]

Than wink from Neesham

 

[saeed5646]

Haris gives more flight
Better option than Imad
Should be high on confidence as well after the effort in the last game

Was about to post this .Haris might not be bad option

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

ah attacking fields sarfraz

 

[zee-za-man]

Kiwis are desperate to break free another wicket in the corner for Pak get in Amir or Shaheen.

 

[Madplayer]

Haris should bowl. Please sarf show some brains.

 

[Hasan123]

Stop these singles.

 

[BleedGreen]

Gilly urao yaar

 

[GLORY OF '92]

So nervous chasing on this pitch

 

[Afhan Ali]

Imad is still bowling
Poor from Pakistan

 

[Asif321]

Amir should get on now

 

[Madplayer]

Than wink from Neesham

He is a charcater.

 

[QalandarFan]

Ahh man get Imad off.

 

[BleedGreen]

Imad is pathetic

 

[Green Patriot]

Even chasing 150 here might give me a panic attack.

 

[JibranAnsari]

cant understand why imad must bowl.

 

[DRsohail]

crap captaincy,

 

[coy0607]

Hopefully last over of the spell from Imad..
Doesn't look threatening at all

 

[castortroy]

Pak won't chase anything over 180

 

[BleedGreen]

4.

Imad is the worst

 

[Afhan Ali]

3 poor overs from Pakistan

 

[Zeshan547]

Amir, Shaheen, shaddy and Wahab have 16 overs left, and 16 over left in inning

 

[saeed5646]

Pathetic club level bowling

 

[Green Patriot]

He is a charcater.

 

[Asif321]

Enough of Imad he is bowling crap

 

[Aman]

I'm just hoping the pitch completely crumbles and bounce becomes a factor.

 

[Hasan123]

Pathetic from Imad. Hafeez has bowled 7 and this is Imad 3rd . So they are done after this.

 

[Hawkeye]

This darter Imad Wasim is the weakest link in our lineup.

How pathetic is he?

 

[Zeshan547]

than why would you bowl imad when he don't have to, sarfraz and his crap calculations

 

[JibranAnsari]

just bowling imad for the sake of it.

 

[BleedGreen]

Need amir/wahab on now

 

[Madplayer]

Sarfaraz trying to justify imad's selection by bowling him more overs. He is useless Sarf. Get him out.

 

[Grunge101]

Bonkers..just Bonkers....Keeping Imad on...worrying about the quota of 10 from Haf + Imad when you should be looking to bowl them out

 

[Hawkeye]

Pathetic from Imad. Hafeez has bowled 7 and this is Imad 3rd . So they are done after this.

You're one of Imad's cheerleaders too, no?

A true railu katta, no contribution in anything.

 

[Fahdi]

Poor decision by Sarfraz to persist with Imad.
