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

[FanofCricket]

Pak Should look to bat next 15 overs safely without losing wickets.

 

[Mehndi155]

I hate this feeling of immense anxiety whenever we bat.

And i thought it was only me :ja

 

[Jeetlodil]

Had CDG taken the catch it would have been like Shahid Afridis in t 20 WC

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on babar and imam. 200 run partnership incoming

 

[DawoodChaudhry]

boys need to keep going like this v solid techniqe for the first new ball overs imam look solid with his batting he is v good in pressure situation also if u see the running is v amazing they both know how to support each other now it all comes to this partnership if they can go for 20 overs

 

[Rana]

Feel like Babar will not last here. Hes struggling for timing

 

[Tapeballcricket]

I hate this feeling of immense anxiety whenever we bat.

You know we all feel this. I always wonder how other Pak fans soo comfortably post here like, 250? no problem we will chase it.

Sometimes, I wonder if we are following the same team lol.

 

[Syed1]

Babar is so shaky looks like he will get out any minute now. Imam looks solid as a rock however he is falling over and might have trouble with ball coming in.

 

[FanofCricket]

Inzamam ka banja playing like inzamam today.

 

[BleedGreen]

Great solid batting

 

[Hawkeye]

Imam again countering that swing beautifully.

 

[AdamM97]

Babar is so shaky looks like he will get out any minute now. Imam looks solid as a rock however he is falling over and might have trouble with ball coming in.

Yeah, he needs to toughen up. Got the skills but not the temperament.

 

[Rathore]

Lucky that babar survived. Imam playing well he will important for holding one end risk free.

 

[Green Patriot]

And i thought it was only me :ja

More than just you and me even.

 

[Hasan123]

Come on Imam.

 

[Rayyman]

Where is Aman he has gone into hiding

 

[Jeetlodil]

I hate this feeling of immense anxiety whenever we bat.

You cannot hate it. That is the beauty of watching Pakistan

 

[JibranAnsari]

i think boult will bowl one inswing now

 

[BleedGreen]

Beautiful cover shot from imam

 

[bantu]

Pakistan has got this ... NZ hasn’t got the bowling to defend this without spinners..

 

[Jeetlodil]

i think boult will bowl one inswing now

yes. Incoming delivery anytime for lbw or bowled. Imam should be aware of it

 

[FanofCricket]

If Pak bats 50 over they will win inshallah

 

[Rana]

Proper English track this. Fantastic for cricket!

 

[BleedGreen]

Imam looking so solid

 

[Syed1]

Imam looks determined... needs to bat long please

 

[Rana]

Imam and Babar both having a scream off!

 

[Hasan123]

Imam looks solid.

 

[AdamM97]

Imam looking so solid

Fakhar looked solid as well until he decided to do something dumb.

 

[FanofCricket]

NZ still has good pace attack than aus with boult, henry ferguson de grandhome and neesham.

 

[member250]

Pakistan gave away 40 runs to many.

 

[Rayyman]

Hafeez and Sarfraz will be crucial today

 

[BleedGreen]

So solid imam

 

[FanofCricket]

Pakistan has got this ... NZ hasn’t got the bowling to defend this without spinners..

NZ still has good pace attack than aus with boult, henry ferguson de grandhome and neesham it wont be easy for pakistan.

 

[AdamM97]

NZ still has good pace attack than aus with boult, henry ferguson de grandhome and neesham.

A great pace attack? Sure. Better than Australia’s? No!

 

[Shafi]

To be honest Imam has more ability to cope with pressure than Babar.

 

[Syed1]

Shaba Imam.... good strategy to see off Boult. 40-1 after 10 will be good.

 

[BleedGreen]

Imam has beautiful defence

 

[pakistanisgreat]

common boys...see of boult

 

[Rayyman]

Ferguson will be the biggest test

Already got through Boult with only one wicket

 

[JibranAnsari]

nz bowlers have beautiful actions

 

[Madplayer]

Babar shaking and shivering in his boots lol

 

[Syed1]

Babar has zero timing so far

 

[Afhan Ali]

Williamson putting a lot of swing in the ball with his strong tights

 

[BleedGreen]

Shaba boys shaba

 

[Rana]

No timing whatsoever by Babar. Not good signs

 

[FanofCricket]

Imam looks better than babar at the moment in terms of defence.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Babar looking unnecessarily aggressive today. Calm down lad there's no hurry.

 

[Green Patriot]

You cannot hate it. That is the beauty of watching Pakistan

For once i want to have a comfortable win,that's all i ask for

 

[Zeshan547]

Babar can't rotate strike to save his life, and he is as soft as they come, not the one upon you can count on, and he never will be one. The ultimate king of soft runs.

 

[AdamM97]

Calm down Bobby, need to trust yourself.

 

[Rayyman]

Babar shaking and shivering in his boots lol

Babar has zero timing so far

Needs to lower the back-lift and play straight.

Cross-bat won't work here

 

[Asif321]

Will be nervy 10 more overs

 

[BleedGreen]

Amazing imam

 

[Rana]

If this was centurion, Babar would smash Henry for a 4 every ball

 

[Shafi]

Why cannot profile picture not updated? Its less than 100x100 pixels

 

[Strike!]

At least rotate strike. Creating unecessary pressure on themselves

 

[member250]

This is why Pakistan would always rather bat if possible, our best batter is a chocker.

 

[FanofCricket]

To be honest Imam has more ability to cope with pressure than Babar.

true. at least for today.

 

[AdamM97]

Pakistan loosen up after 10 overs. Decent start apart from Fakhar’s rubbish shot.

 

[Plumb]

Babar will get his confidence once he hits a boundary..

 

[Hellohello]

Wicket comming this over

 

[Zeshan547]

Just Tap and run, how much skill you need for that for Goodness sake

 

[AdamM97]

I think Pakistan has tje skills to chase but it’s all in their minds, they’re too timid whenever they chase.

 

[FanofCricket]

Still ferguson, de grand home and neesham to come. Very tough for pakistan they have to bat extremely well.

 

[DawoodChaudhry]

babar is good sensible he knows this game is imp playing with straight bat if he keep on the pitch it will help his confidence u see wasim bahi also helping boult in the morning his line and lenth is on good lenth so need to be careful becoz he is the danger bowler but no swing for his babar and imam doing good mashallah

 

[sindhiboy]

Good comeback from Henry. His last 3 overs have been tight

 

[Syed1]

Bobby defo not playing as our best bat... looks like a debutant out there

 

[Rana]

Boult will get Babar out I recon

 

[imshally81]

Beauty

 

[Plumb]

true. at least for today.

No he is mentally strong all the time, that's his biggest strength

 

[BleedGreen]

Babar take ur time and find ur rhythm boy come on Pak

 

[Hasan123]

That was a good ball.

 

[FanofCricket]

What a ball from boult.

 

[JibranAnsari]

what a delivery , beaten all ends up.

 

[dani rana]

Babar hogging the strike

 

[Green Patriot]

You know we all feel this. I always wonder how other Pak fans soo comfortably post here like, 250? no problem we will chase it.

Sometimes, I wonder if we are following the same team lol.

It is not easy to be a Pakistani fan

 

[Madplayer]

What a jaffa!!!!

Bobs please dont get out. Time for your selfish 100s.

 

[Captain caveman]

Just showed pictures of akram giving advice to boult before the start of the match!
Cheers wasim!

 

[Shafi]

Imam needs to protect Babar!!! Unfortunately he doesn't have the ability to lead like Williamson, Kohli....

 

[DawoodChaudhry]

Babar will hit century today. Imam too

ameen inshallah the prayers are with the boys they will become hero from zero after india game and win the cup
