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

[Afhan Ali]

I think they will score 220+
Santner and Henry can bat

 

[Usman Chadda]

Fakhar

 

[Jeetlodil]

NZ have pulled it back. 250 on the cards

 

[Hawkeye]

[MENTION=147314]topspin[/MENTION] is in the house, but of course won't try to cheerlead for Imad here as people will get to know his true cricketing wisdom.

But, all of this means you too will eventually see the light on Imad Wasim.

A true railu katta.

 

[Hasan123]

Bowl a yorker.

 

[fluke]

come on guys we have to wrap them under 170 otherwise it will be a hell of a task for our batters to chase the pitch is not favourable to batsman and they have very good and strong bowling line up

 

[topspin]

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.

That's not true, Misbah was never high calibre and never had ability because he was a limited batsman. You're just on here to offer your free PR services to your favourites - that's how cheap you are.

 

[shaz619]

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

I find it hard to believe someone would want their own team not to do well for the sake of being proven right about something it is just so weird

 

[GLORY OF '92]

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.

We always do that.

 

[theariezman]

hath paon kiun phool rahay hain bhaiyoon....you are doing a good job ..come one wrap it up.

 

[Afhan Ali]

NZ have 5 fast bowlers
And this pitch is very good for fast bowlers

 

[JibranAnsari]

take a slip , its swinging a bit

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This 50 run partnership is taking the game away

Well they had to have a good spell somewhere, but I thought when Shadab took out Williamson it was all over, so this is very frustrating.

 

[Green Patriot]

If NZ win this after the start we had i will be absolutely devastated.

 

[Usman Chadda]

come on guys we have to wrap them under 170 otherwise it will be a hell of a task for our batters to chase the pitch is not favourable to batsman and they have very good and strong bowling line up

The pitch looks fine. NZ have just played terrible cricket so far.

 

[Mamoon]

Neesham acts like a clown on Twitter but he can play.

 

[QalandarFan]

Good over by Wahab!

 

[AAli98]

I really hate this CDG guy

Wait till he bowls

 

[JellyBro]

Pak fans dont give any respect to good batting smh. NZ batted well after losing 5 wickets. Give credit where credit is due. Btw, did they change the ball ? I saw the umpire bringing a new one out few overs back

 

[Aman]

The pitch looks fine. NZ have just played terrible cricket so far.

We'll find out in the second innings whether NZ were justified in shutting down in the middle or whether they were just awful.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Neesham acts like a clown on Twitter but he can play.

What do you think how much Pakistan can chase

 

[Hasan123]

Wahab has been good today.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

I think Pak fans should not take it for granted. If NZ is able to put 240 runs on the board and Boult takes few early wkts, we might see the best match of the tournament so far. Man i am really enjoying this WC so far.

A true railu katta.

You know what, I wouldn't care if Imad was dropped from this team, just oppose your personal hatred of him.

I also know for a fact, if Pakistan was to win this WC (against the odds), you would be burning because your beloved Misbah is not lifting the trophy.

You have no respect for cricket and neither are you a genuine supporter of the team.

 

[Sir-fraz]

What do you think how much Pakistan can chase

Hes doesnt think plaistan can chase lol

 

[Madplayer]

Pathetic from Pakistan. They were 60-4

 

[Borg]

Inept captaincy , bringing imad back swung the momentum back to NZ

 

[Mamoon]

What do you think how much Pakistan can chase

Things are going our way so it is difficult to tell, but if they can get 250, surely they would make life difficult for us.

 

[uberkoen]

They're batting at a run rate of 3.83 and people thinking they're getting away with the game.

Pakistani fans never cease to amaze me

 

[Hawkeye]

That's not true, Misbah was never high calibre and never had ability because he was a limited batsman. You're just on here to offer your free PR services to your favourites - that's how cheap you are.

Talk with respect about our most successful captain and the most reliable rescue machine we had.

If you can't do that, just shows how limited cricketing IQ you have. Also, pretty cheap and pathetic post.

 

[saeed5646]

One official warning to wahab raiz for running on to pitch .hopefully it doesn't effect his bowling

 

[Green Patriot]

I think Pak fans should not take it for granted. If NZ is able to put 240 runs on the board and Boult takes few early wkts, we might see the best match of the tournament so far. Man i am really enjoying this WC so far.

We already think they are taking the game away from us and you are talking about 240
You are over estimating the trust we have in our batting

 

[QalandarFan]

The wrist slitting has started )

 

[MMHS]

Serial PAK killer in action again. This guy CdG could have been an ATG had he played his entire career against PAK!!!! I am sure on this dead slow, spinners track, somehow he'll find a way to trouble PAK batsmen with his diblee-dobley.

 

[saeed5646]

Pakistan desperately need a wicket

 

[theariezman]

Pak fans dont give any respect to good batting smh. NZ batted well after losing 5 wickets. Give credit where credit is due. Btw, did they change the ball ? I saw the umpire bringing a new one out few overs back

The did with missed chances and poor fielding

 

[JibranAnsari]

amir has been ordinary today.

 

[Aman]

People are talking about 250 when we're like one wicket away from being rolled over for under 160.

 

[Madplayer]

Haris should have bowled on this turni g track. One of the genuine spinners of the ball.

 

[Cricket lover 27]

They're batting at a run rate of 3.83 and people thinking they're getting away with the game.

Pakistani fans never cease to amaze me

Never trust our batting!!!

 

[Jeetlodil]

They're batting at a run rate of 3.83 and people thinking they're getting away with the game.

Pakistani fans never cease to amaze me

Did you see how the pitch was turning. Santner will be very tough to play

 

[zn426]

They're batting at a run rate of 3.83 and people thinking they're getting away with the game.

Pakistani fans never cease to amaze me

the partnership is at 60 at a run rate of 5.5. Getting Neesham or CDG out would go a long way to bowling them out as these two could go postal if you let them stay in the middle.

 

[QalandarFan]

amir has been ordinary today.

Maybe fatigued

 

[topspin]

If you can't do that, just shows how limited cricketing IQ you have. Also, pretty cheap and pathetic post.

Imran Khan was the most successful captain, so don't expose your "limited cricketing IQ" and take a break because you will always get exposed and schooled on here. You're light work...

 

[MRSN]

Serial PAK killer in action again. This guy CdG could have been an ATG had he played his entire career against PAK!!!! I am sure on this dead slow, spinners track, somehow he'll find a way to trouble PAK batsmen with his diblee-dobley.

He has already scored handsome 32 of 40 balls witt the bat

 

[Syed1]

Seems as if the counter attack has caught Pak off guard

 

[BleedGreen]

They can easily reach 250 if this partnership continues

 

[Hawkeye]

You know what, I wouldn't care if Imad was dropped from this team, just oppose your personal hatred of him.

)

Indirectly accepting you will no longer cheerlead for Imad. Cool, I guess you've seen the light, then.

I call out average players and mediocrity. Of course, you think Imad didn't deserve it as you're his blind supporter and it hurt your ego.

If you now accept that Imad Wasim is mediocre, there's nothing wrong in that.

People do make mistakes in judging players. As long as you eventually see the light, it's fine.

 

[Jeetlodil]

200 plus and there is no Misbah

 

[JibranAnsari]

shadab bumped into grandhomme , and grandhomme didnt move an inch.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Did you see how the pitch was turning. Santner will be very tough to play

NZ not playing a second spinner might work in our favor.

 

[JaDed]

Dont even see a 200, for kiwis to even fight Boult has to come guns blazing

 

[MRSN]

This could be the match defining partership

 

[Mamoon]

New Zealand showing their professionalism again. A mentally weak outfit would have given up after Williamson’s wicket.

 

[MMHS]

He has already scored handsome 32 of 40 balls witt the bat

My Captain today ........... , won't mind

 

[theariezman]

Serial PAK killer in action again. This guy CdG could have been an ATG had he played his entire career against PAK!!!! I am sure on this dead slow, spinners track, somehow he'll find a way to trouble PAK batsmen with his diblee-dobley.

I remember his lethal bowling and batting against Pakistan on tour of NZ couple of years ago.

 

[Jeetlodil]

Chances for a first ball duck for Mr Zaman?

 

[JellyBro]

Shadab and grandhome having a bit of bromance

 

[Mean&Green]

Anything over 200 will be very difficult for Pakistan it’s swinging

 

[dravidthewall]

This pitch looks good.No need to worry guys ,just relax pak can chase this.

 

[Deewana]

where is the yorker wahab?

 

[Fahdi]

Amir hasn't been at his best today. Pace is also down a bit. I'm also hearing him grunting.

He may be getting tired but we can't afford to rest him at this stage.

 

[MRSN]

shadab bumped into grandhomme , and grandhomme didnt move an inch.

Newton law failed

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Pak taking it a bit lightly.... Shadab and all are joking around. Game is not yet over

 

[JibranAnsari]

shadab or hafeez still have to bowl one over.

 

[BleedGreen]

Id give shaheen an over now

 

[Syed1]

Please take your cat fight out of the match thread

 

[Fahdi]

Get Shaheen back on. Save Wahab for when the ball starts to reverse

 

[QalandarFan]

This is going to be a perfect day fir bhatija to step up. Can play his natural game today won’t have to try and force himself to play at a run a ball. Should score at least 60 if he bats at his natural pace

 

[Hasan123]

Please just a bowler Yorker at CDG.

 

[uberkoen]

Wahab should get Neesham here. Neesham looks uncomfortable

 

[theariezman]

Chances for a first ball duck for Mr Zaman?

Negativity at its best.

 

[Aman]

150/5 is a good base to launch from, but it's been hard to get going on this pitch without bad balls.

 

[WebGuru]

New Zealand showing their professionalism again. A mentally weak outfit would have given up after Williamson’s wicket.

England, SA and Pak?

 

[Madplayer]

Newton law failed

Actually it didnt

 

[QalandarFan]

Bring Shaheen on now from the other end.

 

[Jeetlodil]

Wahab is a brilliant pace bowler when he gets it right.

 

[ARK Rafay]

New Zealand have brought control back in the game. 240 and it will be game on!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Top edge
150 up

 

[Hasan123]

Bouncers won't work to CDG
