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

[Green Patriot]

Bring back Amir or Shaheen and try wrapping it up quick.

 

[the Great Khan]

CDG again...he could prove to be a problem in this game...this seems like a very NZ type pitch..

 

[zee-za-man]

Sarfaraz is a dumb idiot should play in chair instead of Imad Wasim.

 

[Afhan Ali]

They changed the match in just 4 overs

 

[Madplayer]

What the hell

 

[JibranAnsari]

long hop.six.

 

[pak4life]

This is poor from Sarfraz every run matters in a low scoring game.

 

[BleedGreen]

Amir amir amir
Amir

 

[Nasty Naz]

There's 14 overs left combined between Afridi/Amir/Wahab. Use them.

Attack. Get wickets. Not whatever Imad is doing.

 

[Hasan123]

Bring Amir on.

 

[Green Patriot]

They are on the charge here dammit.

Dont ruin what you induced Pakistan.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

220 looks on

 

[bantu]

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

That is why this could be a bad decision... no spinner to control middle overs .. boult and and lockie could take few wickets , but will it be enough if NZ score is below par..

 

[Afhan Ali]

Surely the will score 230 now

 

[Omer2002]

the amount of spin shadab has got today i must say he has been really really poor...

 

[Zeshan547]

Grand home Ko Pak se koi zati duahmani hai, out hoja bhai

 

[Aman]

220 looks on

Don't have enough batting to get 200+

 

[Syed1]

Need wicket fast, taking score out of our reach

 

[Hasan123]

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

A true railu katta, no contribution in anything.

I'm not a cheerleader of his.

You support certain players. That's all you care about.

 

[BleedGreen]

Guys. I think the pitch has improved for batting.

 

[JellyBro]

Nz accelerating. A bowling change should be coming up

 

[JibranAnsari]

imads three overs have totally removed the pressure from newzealand. some poor captaincy by sarfraz.

 

[Afhan Ali]

I really hate this CDG guy

 

[saeed5646]

Need the best defensive pacer .amir is answer

 

[ARK Rafay]

Guys. I think the pitch has improved for batting.

Pitch was never that bad for batting. It was Shaheen's brilliance followed by New Zealand's poor batting.

 

[amirm]

Saving Amir’s overs?

 

[DRsohail]

come in men in green!

 

[Fahdi]

9 consecutive overs by Shadab . Should have changed things up and now he is being targeted. Poor passage of captaincy by Sarfraz.

 

[JibranAnsari]

250 on.

 

[theariezman]

Guys. I think the pitch has improved for batting.

Good for Pakistan but that doesn't mean NZ should slip now.

 

[Aman]

Guys. I think the pitch has improved for batting.

Nah, you're bowling bad balls.

If you get the balls in the right area consistently, the batsmen will get tied down.

 

[QalandarFan]

Poor last few overs.

 

[Hawkeye]

I'm not a cheerleader of his.

You support certain players. That's all you care about.

Ok, I guess you've seen the light on Imad and are backing away from supporting him.

"You support certain players" - UGH, of course, everyone supports players with high caliber and ability. At least I don't support railu kattas like Imad.

Though I do call out players who apparently look good at first, but are very mediocre - just like Imad.

 

[Nasty Naz]

The match is starting to slip away with this last few overs from Shadab and Imad.

Amir and Shaheen should be both brought back in. Finish this game.

 

[Syed1]

Neesham picked today to play the innings of his life

 

[Madplayer]

Come on Amir.

 

[Hasan123]

Put a slip in.

 

[Usman Chadda]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] the pitch is decent for batting, but taking some spin. Shaheen was just immense. There was no exaggerated swing nor seam.

NZ batsmen have just been outplayed so far.

 

[theariezman]

Bring in Amir Please

 

[Shafi]

Pathetic captaincy as usual by Safraz. Anything over 200 we will loose this match

 

[cricketfan11]

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

A true railu katta, no contribution in anything.

Been saying this for a long time.
If the batting order performs at the top you need sloggers and skilled power hitters lower down.
Imad can't contribute with the bat because he is not a power hitter and often doesn't get time to build innings
In bowling too one dimensional, best suited to T20 where he can dart and keep it tight.
Definitely not a wicket taking option and doesn't have scope to perform in batting, in ODIs

 

[Aman]

What was the last game on this ground and what was the result?

 

[sindhiboy]

Nice knock from neesham. This is the advantage of having proper all rounders in your side. Although cdg has been lucky.

Stokes is the only other proper all rounder who has performed with both bat and ball

 

[Hawkeye]

Pitch was never that bad for batting. It was Shaheen's brilliance followed by New Zealand's poor batting.

um, how about you wait and watch NZ bowlers take full advantage of the seam movement on offer?

 

[Hasan123]

Ok, I guess you've seen the light on Imad and are backing away from supporting him.

"You support certain players" - UGH, of course, everyone supports players with high caliber and ability. At least I don't support railu kattas like Imad.

Though I do call out players who apparently look good at first, but are very mediocre - just like Imad.

You know nothing about me if you think I don't call out average players.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

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

He went missing after slagging Shaheen off, maybe he's worried to come back for his second spell

 

[theariezman]

slip please

 

[JibranAnsari]

amir hasnt bowled that well today , his last spell in the last match wasnt good either.

 

[ARK Rafay]

This isn't nagpur pitch people. Pakistan can chase anything below 250

 

[BleedGreen]

Amir aamir aamir

 

[topspin]

I'm not a cheerleader of his.

You support certain players. That's all you care about.

Precisely - just a pathetic agenda driven poster.

 

[Fahdi]

Amir brought on but a little too late. Should have been on 4 overs ago

 

[Green Patriot]

Crowd loves Amir.

 

[theariezman]

He went missing after slagging Shaheen off, maybe he's worried to come back for his second spell

He would come with the argument "Once in a BLUE MOON"

 

[QalandarFan]

What was the last game on this ground and what was the result?

SA vs NZ

 

[Omer2002]

finally amir on...last four overs have given them momentum they were blocking before now thanks to Saff and Imad it looks a belter of a wicket

 

[Hasan123]

This counter attack is frustrating.

 

[Afhan Ali]

They are back in this

 

[Syed1]

Dammit

 

[Mean&Green]

Watch mamoon come running in to post again

 

[Green Patriot]

Great partnership this.
We need to break it.They are taking the game away.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Well the pitch is looking pretty tame now. Or the bowlers are just serving up pies.

 

[Syed1]

This 50 run partnership is taking the game away

 

[BleedGreen]

Almost out

 

[cricket.mad]

If NZ somehow reaches 200,it won’t be easy for pak

 

[Hasan123]

Unlucky for Amir.

 

[the Great Khan]

This 50 run partnership is taking the game away

not yet...we can bat normally on this pitch

 

[uberkoen]

Guys, stop panicking. We're on top here. Another wicket and we'll wrap this up.

 

[saeed5646]

Well the pitch is looking pretty tame now. Or the bowlers are just serving up pies.

Imad spell have released all the pressure

 

[ARK Rafay]

Bring Shaheen as well

 

[cricket.mad]

Watch mamoon come running in to post again

 

[Aman]

Can't see the tail offering much here.

 

[ExpressPacer]

If NZ somehow reaches 200,it won’t be easy for pak

That's what you'd be hoping, isn't it? Well, guess what. We're chasing anything over or under 200.

 

[QalandarFan]

Lmao people will always think a pitch is a 500 run pitch if Pakistan bat well and then a 150 run pitch if Pak bowls well. #PakFanLogic

 

[Green Patriot]

I like this Neesham guy

 

[Omer2002]

wow not even an attempt of the catch by fakhar what is going on...

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

game is getting away if we don't get a wicket now. A bit annoyed how we have bowled once we got Williamson out. It was 83-5 at that point.

 

[theariezman]

Fakhar is loosing his shape for the fielding...he was considered a good fielder once

 

[angrypathan]

Wasn't that a double hit? Should've appealed

 

[Asif321]

Wahab will get wickets I feel
