New Zealand vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Wellington | Jan 6, 2018 | New Zealand Innings

[dauntless]

Very well played henry Nicholls

 

[Aman]

Williamson lack extra gear .

He's a liability from the 35th over onwards.

He should get his 50 and get out before it.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

4 from Santner first ball.

Might end up regretting taking that catch.

Santner was at the non-strikers end

 

[Jabo]

Pak won't chase this

We are a batsman down
Unless top 3 score well

I see us making 250ish

Top 3 need to perform

 

[dauntless]

Trundler bowling bouncers

 

[Chief Destroyer]

I've got 1000 slower balls but this ain't one. Oh wait...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Strike rate less than 100 and stalled the team at the death.

It was garbage, had Dhawan or Kohli played that innings they would have been slaughtered. For whatever reason Kane gets away with playing slow.

If that was slow then watch Azhar Ali in a bit.

 

[waleed88]

He's a liability from the 35th over onwards.

He should get his 50 and get out before it.

Babar Azam needs to learn how to bat after a 100

 

[Aman]

This is the urgency the two tuk tuks should have shown earlier.

 

[QalandarFan]

Need to restrict the flow of runs in these last two overs.

 

[imshally81]

t

 

[Usman Chadda]

Nicholls is a perfect example of a player who plays to his strengths on a ground he knows very well. Quite ordinary shot making otherwise.

 

[dauntless]

LOL nope not once again

 

[Sirris]

Are you watching the game?

They've hit something like 2 boundaries since the 38th over.

You guys are safely over 300 that's a good score against Pakistan.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Lol

Hasan gets his third

 

[QalandarFan]

Hasan gets another

 

[Aman]

Santner was at the non-strikers end

My bad lol.

Whatever, he's out now.

 

[waleed88]

t

Who Who Who?

 

[imshally81]

Missing Sharjeel here...

 

[Nasty Naz]

Another 3fer for Hasan. Mr. Consistent.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hasan gets Nicholls it won't work always

 

[waleed88]

Hasan is such a dude!!

 

[Aman]

Who Who Who?

Nicolls )

 

[ExplicitAI]

Hasan Ali with his customary 3 wickets a game. Top bowler.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

NZ missing Colin

 

[waleed88]

*cough cough* Mohammad Amir the spearhead... watch and learn from the best bowler in the world

 

[Syed1]

Hasan gets 3 wickets minimum....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just when you praise Hasan he delivers a filth delivery

 

[ExplicitAI]

NZ should consider having Corey Anderson back in the team, he's a top allrounder I'd say.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

This is the urgency the two tuk tuks should have shown earlier.

Reality is I doubt NZ have the talent pool necessary to compete as they have done recently without Kane. Guy is a beast batsman (captain not so much). Dont get the criticism he went at a run a ball, even for today thats very good.

End of the day youve made 300 lol, wait until Pak bat to judge the score

 

[Aman]

Tuk tuks gone and the tempo lifts.

 

[waleed88]

Pakistan has a 2 tier bowling levels :

Hasan Ali

Shadab Khan......

50,000 feet of crap

and then the rest of our attack

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3-61 Hasan Ali

 

[CricFan2012]

Santner is a useless bat, has always looked like a tail ender with low scores whenever I've seen him play

 

[Usman Chadda]

New Zealand batting in the last few overs has been a bit weak. The fact that they have still got 300 is surprising.

 

[Syed1]

Why bowl full toss

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan has a 2 tier bowling levels :

Hasan Ali

Shadab Khan......

50,000 feet of crap

and then the rest of our attack

Here comes the true fans of Pakistan

Kane should anchor and just hit out.

We're 100% better without him in T20s, a complete liability in that format.

Are you this depressed in real life? Every time I see you post you're crying about something.

 

[Usman Chadda]

We are in this situation because Shadab was disappointing today. New Zealand damaged us at a stage where Pakistan usually picks wickets.

Not every day is gonna be a sunday, 300 is a normal total these days

 

[Abdul]

Hasan gets 3 wickets minimum....

Amir gets 0 maximum.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Still scratching my head how New Zealand has scored 300 today. The last few overs have been weak. Scraping around for runs, when on top.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Finally a wicket for Amir

 

[castortroy]

Already 60 runs too many

Pak will be allnout for about 255

 

[CricFan2012]

Babyface Santer not strong enough for that hit

 

[QalandarFan]

Amir joins the wicket column.

 

[Aman]

Can't blame Santner for that, Amir was bowling beautifully.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Nicely judged by Raees.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Target of 316

 

[Aman]

Colin Munro.

 

[QalandarFan]

Target 316

 

[Aman]

The tuk tuks cost us runs, hope it doesn't cost us the match.

 

[CricFan2012]

Going to be a tough chase, Pakistan has a 30% chance of winning

 

[Syed1]

Amir gets 0 maximum.

Chup... moh bund

 

[Deewana Mastana]

316

 

[castortroy]

Munro got them off to a flyer and Williams as he always does, scored heavy

 

[Usman Chadda]

That shot by Southee summed up today for Pakistan. One weird innings.

 

[QalandarFan]

Fakhar needs to let loose at the top to give us a chance.

 

[Abdul]

LMAO. Amir. )

 

[Shafi]

315 too much considering too many accumulators we have

 

[Nasty Naz]

316 is the target. It looked like it was going to be worse so I guess that's a small victory.

Going to be very tough to chase this, especially if Azhar plays his slow usual game. Only way I see a path to victory is Fakhar having a big fast game.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

If we had a strong batting line, this is not a difficult chase considering how true the pitch is.

 

[Abdul]

Chup... moh bund

Just got lucky in the end.

 

[blackanhyellow]

if fakhar doesnt score I dont see us chasing this.

Fakhar is key.

 

[Shafi]

Easy match for NZ

 

[blue_champion]

Chup... moh bund

Doesn't take much to mount a comeback does it 1/58 in 9 overs

 

[Sirris]

Didn't see Hafeez in the field getting busy at all

 

[Syed1]

Doesn't take much to mount a comeback does it 1/58 in 9 overs

I think June 18 still hurts.

New Zealand will not struggle with the wind since they grew up playing on these grounds. Pakistan's batting is not good enough to chase 300+. Hope I'm proven wrong, but this looks like an easy victory for the Kiwis.

 

[waleed88]

Amir taking tailender wickets since 2010

 

[Shafi]

Didn't see Hafeez in the field getting busy at all

Hafeez playing as a tourist!!!! No pressure for him

 

[Syed1]

If Fakhar doesn't come off then no way in hell are we chasing this with turtles like Azhar, Babar and Hafeez.

 

[Test champion]

NZ 24-30 runs shorts.they lack firepower at the end .

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This is a par score. Maybe 10 runs above par

 

[shah_1]

With likes of Hafeez in the team I see no chance for us

 

[blue_champion]

I think June 18 still hurts.

Hmm...wonder who is living in the past by constantly bringing that up it hurt on that day and may be the next day.. That's pretty much it..it is not as big of a deal as it is for you guys we understand

 

[Deewana Mastana]

If Fakhar doesn't come off then no way in hell are we chasing this with turtles like Azhar, Babar and Hafeez.

Why Azhar just scored a 104 off 105 balls

 

[Usman Chadda]

Hmm...wonder who is living in the past by constantly bringing that up it hurt on that day and may be the next day.. That's pretty much it..it is not as big of a deal as it is for you guys we understand

Obviously it would be a bigger deal for us. We won. You were mauled.

 

[Sean143]

Woke up now if it isn't swinging then I think we can chase 316
