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

[Sycamore]

Need to look at promoting Imad up the order and telling him to cut loose.

 

[topspin]

I worry about Babar against spin because he never commits himself fully forward or fully back.

 

[Nov15]

Semifinals:

Australia vs New Zealand

Pakistan vs India

 

[malik29695]

Satner

 

[Kianig89]

Beware of Santnrer

 

[saeed5646]

Hafeez 32 are far from flukey than CDG one

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on boys

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Forget spinner lets attack pacers

 

[Rayyman]

I worry about Babar against spin because he never commits himself fully forward or fully back.

Santner is only bowling one area though

 

[Madplayer]

Mutthiah Santnertharan turning it square.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Scary turn

 

[Kianig89]

This game will go down to wire have a feeling either

 

[Syed1]

He is looking like a leggie out there

 

[Darkness]

Mutthiah Santnertharan turning it square.

Hafeez will definitely take the bait and take him on after a few overs even tho he might get out lol

 

[member250]

Play out santner, no way they can hit him with that much turn.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

santer is a deal. need to see him off..please do not give him wicket

 

[Kianig89]

If Afridi was here would have destroyed Santner planning

 

[cricketfan11]

One wonders what job batting consultants have done with Pakistan over the years...
They seem to lack how to play swing, spin, short ball, pace, running between wickets, footwork, shifting weight and balance etc?
As the modern game has changed they seem to be getting worse at batting? Difficult to believe...
Plus they are very jittery even when chasing a modest 200 odd total...

 

[saeed5646]

Waoh vicious turn .

 

[Rayyman]

This game will go down to wire have a feeling either

Well then I will miss it. Pathetic over rate especially after rain.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

LOL this mediocre spinner is turning square on this wicket this shows how badly shadab bowled

 

[shah_1]

2 overs that went for 25 runs changed the game. From what was looking like 200 at best turned in to 240.

It's turning miles and he didn't bowl well here. He had to break the partnership

 

[Syed1]

How the hell is it turning so much more for Satner than Shadab or Imad

 

[cricketfan11]

Especially when the likes of Bangladesh and Afghanistan are improving!

 

[Kianig89]

8 overs of Santner left just milk him if there is any

 

[ARK Rafay]

Mutthiah Santnertharan turning it square.

Thank god they aren't playing Ishane Sodrne

 

[JaDed]

Kane should bring himself on

 

[BleedGreen]

Just play out santner.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Are you serious? Have you seen New Zealand batting as well?

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Imad wasim is a garbage bowler. We should add malik in the next game.

 

[JellyBro]

Santner bowling way above what pak batting can handle.

 

[Greenstorm]

Next match is vs Afg

Than Imad is fine.

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

If Afridi was here would have destroyed Santner planning

He would have skied the first ball straight to fielder

 

[IAJ]

santer is a deal. need to see him off..please do not give him wicket

I think they should just pack and get back to pavilion and see all the bowlers from there.

 

[Gullycricket]

Atleast attack Neesham

 

[JaDed]

How the hell is it turning so much more for Satner than Shadab or Imad

Coz Wahab stepping on the pitch

 

[MMHS]

Beautifully poised game. PAK is slightly ahead (by 8 runs in DWL after 20), but I think this wicket will get tougher. Willamson might bowl few overs here.

 

[Kianig89]

Hafeez putting pressure on team too many dot ball

 

[topspin]

LOL this mediocre spinner is turning square on this wicket this shows how badly shadab bowled

Agreed, he's very average.

 

[Madplayer]

Hafeez will definitely take the bait and take him on after a few overs even tho he might get out lol

Lets hope not. The ball is gripping. It looks like a minefield when the spinner is bowling.

 

[Plumb]

How the hell is it turning so much more for Satner than Shadab or Imad

He is better spinner??

 

[Rayyman]

Hit a six

 

[Gullycricket]

Agreed, he's very average.

They need Saudi back

 

[BleedGreen]

Just milk singles and a boundary every other over. No need for risks

 

[shah_1]

How the hell is it turning so much more for Satner than Shadab or Imad

Shadab didn't bowl well

Imad doesn't spin the ball even if it is a minefield

 

[Syed1]

Literally everyone apart from India and Australia will be hoping Pak lose.... Pak winning will nearly shut the door for several sides.

 

[James]

Got a humdinger coming up here I reckon. Either going to be New Zealand by 10ish runs or Pakistan by 2-3 wickets.

 

[Greenstorm]

Hafeez is playing too many dots. Adding pressure on Babar.

 

[Kianig89]

Toss taylor

 

[BleedGreen]

Babar trying to be risky. Whats the point

 

[cricketfan11]

How the hell is it turning so much more for Satner than Shadab or Imad

It is turning more because he is giving more flight.
Also the angle he is creating helps.
Shadab is not a big turner and this is a consistent criticism of his bowling.
Forget Imad because he bowls in T20 mode.

 

[UP]

Shabaa boys, single double.

 

[Madplayer]

Bobby's timing is not great in this innings apart from some shots.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Lets hope not. The ball is gripping. It looks like a minefield when the spinner is bowling.

He will get stumped then

 

[Kianig89]

151 from 174

 

[Plumb]

Literally everyone apart from India and Australia will be hoping Pak lose.... Pak winning will nearly shut the door for several sides.

If Pak makes it to Semis.... Its our Cup

 

[Palti_hit]

Can KW bowl?

 

[BleedGreen]

89/2

Will be 115/2 after 25 overs

 

[Hasan123]

Need to rotate the strike more.

 

[Rana]

2nd time New Zealand fielders have hit Pak batsmen on the throw back

 

[JellyBro]

If these 2 can bat till 150 runs then the rest should be achievable. Setting a low standard here but it's the timid Pakistan batsmen we are talking about. I dont think run rate will ever be an issue if we have wickets in hand

 

[Rayyman]

C'mon hit Neesham fgs

 

[Sycamore]

Rameez "Ross Taylor fielding -8 in the field he's done brilliantly" like what ?

 

[Ronaldo7]

147 off 28.4 overs

 

[Madplayer]

He will get stumped then

He would be crazy to step out here

 

[BleedGreen]

Santner turning it

 

[Asif321]

Keep going boys

 

[Hasan123]

Santner is bowling well.

 

[Syed1]

Risky shot with ball turning away and slip there... but Bobby ko kaun samjhaey

 

[Green Patriot]

Hafeez has been playing way too many dots.
Needs to capitalize on this start and not throw it away.

 

[member250]

50 runs more without wicket and Pakistan should feel easy from that point on.

 

[Justcrazy]

One of this batsmen has to bat through

 

[Madplayer]

Look out for arm ball

 

[Hasan123]

Dropped.

 

[Asif321]

What a turn

 

[ARK Rafay]

Play with the pad. It's nagpur pitch.

 

[DeadBall]

Babar has started to play football.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

It's not easy to watch, but these guys are doing the right thing by grinding it out. There is mad turn out there.

 

[Kianig89]

Dropped

 

[Palti_hit]

Pak should keep it simple and steady and reach 160-170 at 35 over mark without loosing wickets.
