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

[Ellipsism]

Quality bowling here.

 

[Rana]

These guys act like it's ok if NZ hit 340 as if Azhar and Babar are going to launch from ball one

 

[world cup captain]

Good stuff from Hassan but need to take KW quickly.

 

[dauntless]

Get this mediocre Williamson out

 

[Markhor]

Boy did we need that. Keep chipping away now.

 

[shaz619]

He's better with the new ball than Raees. NZ is top heavy. Needed wickets early on. With Pakistan slightly defensive tactics, Munro and Guptill are set and NZ looking good atm for a big score

That's besides the point, he bowls exceptionally well as 1st or 2nd change and like always gets us the much needed breakthrough

 

[Syed1]

Two righties now... Shady should attack

 

[world cup captain]

So glad they ditched that ugly kit that was displayed a couple of weeks ago

Quite sure it's the kit for the T20s.

 

[Hasan123]

Chance to build some dots here.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] Aaa ja. Get the Kiwi shoe polish.

 

[Ellipsism]

Ashraf?

 

[blue_champion]

Have to give it to Hasan...picks up wickets, so that is what matters...Sir Hassan for sure...looks so innocuous, it's about time batsmen give him the respect he deserves

 

[shaz619]

Hey Shaz you now what happens, huh you know what happens when you distract me from my match, you know what hapoens? YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!

Put Kenny on it as well please and Munroe, he has earned it

 

[Aman]

Guptill needs time in the middle, just stick it out and hope you find some form.

 

[Hasan123]

That's besides the point, he bowls exceptionally well as 1st or 2nd change and like always gets us the much needed breakthrough

He can put teams on the back foot with wickets with the new ball.

 

[dauntless]

Faheem on now!

 

[Syed1]

142 clicks

 

[imshally81]

Edged n

 

[blue_champion]

Get this mediocre Williamson out

Can you name some Pakistani batsmen better than Williamson right now? Not just a random list out of your head but backed by some actual numbers or evidence

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Thicc edge

 

[Rayyman]

Guptill sucks what a tuk tuk he is trash. Just an FTB minnow-basher it seems.

 

[ammar_merry]

So glad they ditched that ugly kit that was displayed a couple of weeks ago

they displayed t20 kit

 

[shaz619]

He can put teams on the back foot with wickets with the new ball.

He is thriving in his current role as well, it's easy for us to say but why would a captain change something which is working for him and the team

 

[Ahson8]

So glad they ditched that ugly kit that was displayed a couple of weeks ago

That's the T20 kit

 

[blue_champion]

I have counted about 6 Pakistan bowlers+Sarfaraz...who is going to bat?

 

[Ellipsism]

All-rounder already bowling better than third seamer.

 

[QalandarFan]

Put Kenny on it as well please and Munroe, he has earned it

Munro and Kenny were on the list long before the list existed ya dig? Now if you don’t mind since Hasan got Munro, it’s time for the celebration of Jericho mannnnn.

 

[Syed1]

I have counted about 6 Pakistan bowlers+Sarfaraz...who is going to bat?

Who are the 6 bowlers you are counting?

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Faheem hair is a mess.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Classy shot

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Munro made sure these two don't have to get out of their comfort zone.

 

[Rayyman]

26 (42) while wearing 3 layers of clothing what a softie lol

 

[Suleiman]

Beginning to get hit by the realization that Hasan is holding this entire attack together, if you take him out then there isn’t really much to this attack.

Shadab is a genuine talent but he’s a work in progress.

 

[Syed1]

Even Fahim is 130 odd... even though he bowls around 140. Its because of the wind at this end.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Can take their time a little and put away the bad balls.

 

[blue_champion]

Who are the 6 bowlers you are counting?

The guy bowling now, the guy bowling at 120 K's,Hassan Ali,Amir,Shadab,Shoaib Malik

 

[Aman]

26 (42) while wearing 3 layers of clothing what a softie lol

Guptill is coming back from injury.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Beginning to get hit by the realization that Hasan is holding this entire attack together, if you take him out then there isn’t really much to this attack.

Shadab is a genuine talent but he’s a work in progress.

Faheem is a poor man's Hardik Pandya.

 

[Syed1]

The guy bowling now, the guy bowling at 120 K's,Hassan Ali,Amir,Shadab,Shoaib Malik

Malik is a batsman

The guy bowling now is a better bat than Pandya

 

[Arham_PakFan]

143k’s by Hasan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Faheem hasn't played much yet but stats aren't that brilliant either.

 

[yasir]

Faheem and Raees are not that slow, 5/8 clicks are shaved off because of wind, they both are bowling against the wind.

 

[Syed1]

Faheem is a poor man's Hardik Pandya.

You base that off one over?

 

[imshally81]

Outfield is really slow...

 

[Arham_PakFan]

3 runs

 

[Hasan123]

Nice shot from Williamson.

 

[Ellipsism]

How dare Waqar critique Safi’s captaincy, does he know that he’s won 2 ICC Events.

 

[Syed1]

How dare Waqar critique Safi’s captaincy, does he know that he’s won 2 ICC Events.

Waqar himself is an ATG


RIP logic



You overestimate your importance

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Drinks break,only 3 off that last over

 

[Deewana Mastana]

You base that off one over?

Refer to post #441

 

[dauntless]

Avein hi digg peya yaar!

 

[Aman]

Looking short of firepower with CdG, Anderson out and Guptill out of touch.

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

The only mistake Sarfraz made today was bowling first.

 

[asadee]

Why did we bowl first

 

[Rayyman]

How dare Waqar critique Safi’s captaincy, does he know that he’s won 2 ICC Events.

More than Waqar has ever won...

 

[Sirris]

These guys act like it's ok if NZ hit 340 as if Azhar and Babar are going to launch from ball one

It's all about exposing the weak links.

 

[blue_champion]

Malik is a batsman

The guy bowling now is a better bat than Pandya

How? is that your opinion or is there a concrete evidence to back it otherwise that is so random lol.

Clearly he is not the better than Pandya with the ball from what we can see....Pandya is one of the best fielders in the world...Pandya has a test 100 and won man of the series for his batting & bowling vs Aus.....is this comparison from the same universe as Akmal-Kohli and Shehzad-Sachin

 

[Syed1]

Why did we bowl first

What's the guarantee that Pak would have blasted away if they had batted first. We have Misbah 2.0 Azhar Ali opening the batting for us.

 

[Theo_14]

The only mistake Sarfraz made today was bowling first.

A weak player. He tends to listen the instructions of the coaching team rather than making his own decisions.

Tactically unaware, lack of knowledge on overseas pitches, fazool aggression, out of form. Will never understand how we selected him as captain.

 

[Aman]

What's the guarantee that Pak would have blasted away if they had batted first. We have Misbah 2.0 Azhar Ali opening the batting for us.

Your bowlers wouldn't of had to deal with the wind.

 

[Markhor]

Our batsmen will have their work cut out as NZ look good for 300+ score, their seamers may also get more out of the conditions. They will also need to deal with a pitch with more pace and bounce than they're typically used to.

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

A weak player. He tends to listen the instructions of the coaching team rather than making his own decisions.

Lol he's the best captain we've had in ageeeees. In Limited overs that is. His achievements are a testament to that.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What's the guarantee that Pak would have blasted away if they had batted first. We have Misbah 2.0 Azhar Ali opening the batting for us.

He will play the role Guptill is playing so far.

 

[Sirris]

Time for some quick wickets.

 

[Syed1]

Yeah we were surely setting the world on fire with acha bacha Azhar Ali.


This guy won you an international tournament after better part of a decade.

 

[Ellipsism]

Waqar himself is an ATG


RIP logic



You overestimate your importance

But some Saifi fans in particular act like he’s void of any criticism, was simply taking a dig at those. Chill.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Faheem hasn't bowled at more than 132kph so far. Just now a ball reached 133 though.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Faheem hair is a mess.

Shaved heads for windy weather is a must.

Pak can pull this back and limit NZ total to under 300.

 

[Syed1]

Nice from Ashraf

 

[blue_champion]

Is Wahab Riaz completely out of the picture now?

 

[babajee]

Decent over from Faheem

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

Also why the hell is Raees playing? If you're going to bowl ~120kph then you better be McGrath. His pace isn't good enough.

 

[Hasan123]

Good over from Faheem.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

3 off the over

 

[Syed1]

Faheem hasn't bowled at more than 132kph so far. Just now a ball reached 133 though.

For the hundredth time... he is bowling into the wind.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rumman and Faheem are the weakest links in this bowling line-up.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Is Wahab Riaz completely out of the picture now?

No one is completely out of the picture in Pakistan cricket.

Unless you’re a Sadaf Hussain or Fawad Alam

 

[Syed1]

Need one more wicket asap

 

[Abdullah719]

Is Wahab Riaz completely out of the picture now?

He's glued to the TV.

So was Amir and that saw him go to 144kph while bowling consistently at 140 and more.
