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

[Green Patriot]

Stop leaking runs dammit.
Get a wicket.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Edge and

 

[JibranAnsari]

unlucky , 2nd 4 of edge of wahabs bowling.

 

[Mamoon]

New Zealand can easily add 110-120 with these two and Santner to come.

 

[Syed1]

Abay yaar 150 up.... I'd be bricking if we have to chase anything over 200

 

[theariezman]

fortune favors the brave

 

[Jeetlodil]

Negativity at its best.

Nope. With Boult running in to a left hander, he can easily get out

 

[Fahdi]

CDG has been so lucky this game

 

[QalandarFan]

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

He’s a great WC bowler brings the best out of him like tournaments do for Amir.

 

[Sunzi]

Feel like we've let them off the hook here a bit.
Having said that Neesham and CDG deserve credit too.

 

[shah_1]

Great batting by these two

 

[Pakpak]

so fecking lucky

 

[Cric_lover4487]

After India game, I listened to criticism from ex Pak players that Pak is unable to take early wkts because they are playing old ball bowlers like Hasan Ali, Wahab. Even Amir is better in his second spell.
Can anyone explain me, how do you judge if someone is a new ball bowler or old ball bowler? (pardon me if i come across as ignorant) Does it depend on your bowling action ?
I was under the impression that great bowlers like Wasim are good with any ball, anytime of the innings.

 

[Aman]

New Zealand can easily add 110-120 with these two and Santner to come.

Not on this pitch.

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Why has wahab not bowled any yorkers, i dont get it

 

[cricketfan11]

Pakistan now paying the price for over reliance on Hafeez and Imad in the middle overs
Really should have brought Shadab earlier or introduced Haris on this pitch favouring flight and loopy deliveries
Plus Wahab is beating the batsmen too often outside off, due to pace. Why not try bowling at stumps a bit more..

 

[JibranAnsari]

time for grandhomme to go back.

 

[QalandarFan]

New Zealand can easily add 110-120 with these two and Santner to come.

Why not add another 320-330 with Kohli and AB batting and Gayle yet to come.

 

[Hasan123]

Shaheen on.

 

[Jeetlodil]

This is heading like SA v Aus 99 semi final

 

[MRSN]

Actually it didnt

It was more of Einstein law where Shadab starting revolving around big mass GH.

 

[Roadie]

16 runs- 5 wickets collapsing????? Come on

 

[Tapeballcricket]

Soo frustrated with Imad Spell. Defensive Captaincy at it's best. Should have been Amir/Wahab all the way to get them out instead of this ****show.

 

[Aman]

I think we should bat conservatively and get to 210, this pitch has a bit in it.

We shouldn't hit out and get all out for 170.

 

[theariezman]

We are missing the target...come on guys don't loose here.

 

[Mamoon]

Not on this pitch.

Both have serious power. If they stick till the end they can cut loose against this average attack and mentally weak fielders.

 

[QalandarFan]

Wonder where all the people are who were calling out best LOi pace bowler in the last year garbage and trash.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

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

True. Should be pleased we actually picked up those early wickets so we are going to be chasing a score of less than 250. We'd have took that before the day started. If we can't chase that then we deserve to go out.

 

[Syed1]

I think we should bat conservatively and get to 210, this pitch has a bit in it.

We shouldn't hit out and get all out for 180.

What happened to "free win for NZ"... that's why they say don't run mouth before the mathc

 

[Mamoon]

Why not add another 320-330 with Kohli and AB batting and Gayle yet to come.

Keep quiet.

 

[topspin]

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.

I've never been his cheerleader, just oppose the presence of posters like yourself who are so cheap and have nothing going for them in their lives, they feel the need to promote their favourite cricketers via their own free PR services.

As we know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed. You exposed yourself, when you vouched for Faheem Ashraf ahead of Imad. This is the reason why I took exception to your anti-Imad campaign on here, because your opposition of him is not on the basis of meritocracy but merely because of your agenda(s).

I think the question of cricketing insight, comprising of "judging players", needs to be asked of you. Remember when you said Babar is one of the top 4 or 5 ODI batsmen in the world?

You're just going to get schooled and exposed again, so don't bother replying for your sake.

I'll explain in details, but not in working hours. Either open a new thread for this, or find a similar old thread to bump ...........

 

[PakPremi]

Wahab has been good today.

He has been good in all matches do far since his return to the team

 

[MRSN]

Both have serious power. If they stick till the end they can cut loose against this average attack and mentally weak fielders.

Neesham is more of classic old batsman. Only danger is QDG

 

[QalandarFan]

Oh man Shaheen is so good, by the time the next World Cup comes around he’ll be a beast.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

220 might be very competitive on this pitch with these cloudy conditions, bu that's almost 70 runs away.

 

[Hasan123]

Neesham has played the knock off his life.

 

[JibranAnsari]

potentially match winning 50 by neesham

 

[Aman]

What happened to "free win for NZ"... that's why they say don't run mouth before the mathc

When did I say free win? )

 

[Jeetlodil]

The problem is these people can change gears easily.

 

[QalandarFan]

Keep quiet.

It’s called a public forum if you want me to keep quiet leave.

Out here saying guys like Colin and Neesham will score 110-120 against us on this pitch. It’s not your boys England bowling.

 

[Omer2002]

very disappointed honestly ...definately let them off the hook..with the spin on the offer shadab has been poor...captaincy not good..kiwis would have watched all this...fast bowlers will be bowling cutters after cutters...score already too much

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

really fifty for neesham

 

[Mamoon]

Neesham is more of classic old batsman. Only danger is QDG

He can hit them. Quite an underrated player actually, as good as any all-rounder outside Stokes and Shakib.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

: for Neesham, crucial one.

 

[Syed1]

When did I say free win? )

Yeah feigning ignorance now when you had your behind handed to you )

 

[Green Patriot]

Neesham has played well.
Time to go back to the pavilion though.

 

[saeed5646]

220 is pretty much on .Need to break the partnership

 

[Jeetlodil]

Neesham has played the knock off his life.

For England

 

[cricketfan11]

True. Should be pleased we actually picked up those early wickets so we are going to be chasing a score of less than 250. We'd have took that before the day started. If we can't chase that then we deserve to go out.

Actually - 200 (which now looks achievable for NZ) will test Pakistan chasing on this wicket.
Considering the high stakes game this is.

 

[theariezman]

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

I think its not about pace...its about consistency.

 

[Aman]

From what I've seen it's easy to keep it tight by bowling the right lines and lengths.

Bad balls need to be punished.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Wicket coming soon inshallah

 

[Madplayer]

Out kar yaar

 

[FreePalestine]

Yaar, not enjoying this second half of the NZ innings. Can’t take the win for granted... you never know with Boult in your side, if the ball swings for a bit, could make it tough.

 

[JibranAnsari]

this over can change the game

 

[Aman]

Yeah feigning ignorance now when you had your behind handed to you )

Find the post or stop posting rubbish as usual.

 

[Gareebooo]

Pakistan will crumble while chashing. Mark It!!!

NZ will defend and bowl out PAK

 

[Usman Chadda]

How has a mediocre hack like CDG survived on this difficult wicket so far? [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]

 

[pillionrider]

Chasing under pressure for Pak....

150 is 250
210 is

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

They won't score more than 210 I m sure.

 

[Hasan123]

This game is reminding me of a game in 2006 in the champions trophy . South Africa were 42-5 , they got to 213 and got us all out for 89.

Please do something Pakistan.

 

[Aman]

Bat sensibly till the 46th over and hit out.

 

[Jeetlodil]

He’s a great WC bowler brings the best out of him like tournaments do for Amir.

Looks very devastating. Got to be the leader of the pack

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

I thought this game would heavily improve our NRR, i guess not

 

[uberkoen]

Neesham has been lucky

 

[Slog]

Pakistan have let it slip.

Anything over 180 and NZ are favorites

 

[Syed1]

Honestly dots are good too... we are in the 41st over and they have next to nothing on the board

 

[pillionrider]

Shadab needs to shadab his chitchat with Grandhomme and focus on getting them out

 

[Mamoon]

This game is reminding me of a game in 2006 in the champions trophy . South Africa were 42-5 , they got to 213 and got us all out for 89.

Please do something Pakistan.

Justin Kemp played a brilliant innings, similar to the one Neesham and CdG are playing.

 

[Jeetlodil]

This game is reminding me of a game in 2006 in the champions trophy . South Africa were 42-5 , they got to 213 and got us all out for 89.
Please do something Pakistan.

Yes and that is where I said Pakistan can be 30 for 6. Pakistan needed Shoab Malik today

 

[babajee]

From what I've seen it's easy to keep it tight by bowling the right lines and lengths.

Bad balls need to be punished.

What fantastic analysis. Sounds like cricket to me.

 

[Grunge101]

Shaheen should have been bowled out. Hes not a death bowler and you shouldnt be thinking about that anyway with the opposition at 80/5.
He couldve picked up one of these two between the 25th and 35th over period.

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistan has let this game slip.

 

[Aman]

Whatever we get, we need to have Pakistan 3-4 down in the first 10 overs to put pressure on the batsmen.

 

[Jeetlodil]

I thought this game would heavily improve our NRR, i guess not

Pakistan will do good to win

 

[QalandarFan]

I thought this game would heavily improve our NRR, i guess not

You don’t seem to understand that NRR will not be a factor if we win all 3 of our games and England lose one more.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Need two wickets to roll them under 200.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Has the pitch became easier to bat or Pak took it casually just like WI vs Aus game?. If NZ scores 240, we are in for a close game. Chasing is Pak's achillies heel.

 

[neonoir]

Could 220-230 be a winning total on this pitch?, however with 9 overs remaining it will be difficult for NZ
