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

[TheInaudibleParadox]

Is Wahab Riaz completely out of the picture now?

Yes and with it so are 450+ pastings.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

100 up for NZ.Need wickets urgently now

 

[Sirris]

Is Wahab Riaz completely out of the picture now?

Few reasons why he should be in the picture?

 

[Third Man]

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

His fastest was 135 today. Add a 5 to that to account for the wind and he's hovering around 140.

 

[Syed1]

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

Amir was bowling with the wind

 

[dauntless]

Good bowling!! Knock his stumps now

 

[Abdullah719]

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

Nope.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hasan bowling really well

 

[Theo_14]

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.

What did he contribute with the bat lmao? Not everyday captain influence you know.

Sometimes coaches, bowlers and new blood (Shadab, Hasan Ali, Fakhir) win you tournaments.

 

[Hasan123]

Quality bouncer.

 

[blue_champion]

Serious questions guys,why do you guys say Pakistan is a super exciting side, I mean batting and fielding is what it is but apart from Hassan Ali and may be chalo Amir only with the new ball,it is pretty bland.

 

[babajee]

We’re pulling it back

 

[Sirris]

Hasan and faheem can get another kiwi out. Then unleash Shadab.

 

[dauntless]

Definitely would have loved wahab here than that trundler raees

 

[Abdullah719]

Few reasons why he should be in the picture?

He is the 3rd W.

He's a wicket keeper but I agree he should improve his batting and fitness. But his captaincy is top notch.

 

[Ellipsism]

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

Please check his average pace in the previous games. He’s consistently 135-138 km/h which is decent for an all-rounder.

His belly is the same size of 15 years retired Waqar Younis

 

[Abdullah719]

Shadab. Plus, winning is exciting.

 

[Hasan123]

Impressed with Faheems bowling so far

 

[blue_champion]

Few reasons why he should be in the picture?

Well he is better than the guy trundling at 120K's atleast unless that guy is a brilliant bat. From what little I saw Wahab was a good fielder as well and could slog a few.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

What a delivery!

 

[Syed1]

Bowling Hasan

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Another beauty!

 

[dauntless]

Very well bowling faheem

 

[Deewana Mastana]

2 good deliveries now by Faheem

 

[Abdullah]

Fahim bowling jaffaz to KW

 

[Sirris]

Guptil is at 26(48). You know what this means?

He will be going back to the pavilion soon!

 

[babajee]

Faheem could potentially open the bowling...

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Bowling Hasan

Faheem hai bhai

 

[IAJ]

He's glued to the TV.

Really liked his commitment on the field.

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

2 lovely deliveries.

 

[Syed1]

Faheem hai bhai

Pichla over acha tha

 

[IAJ]

Faheem could potentially open the bowling...

Should have.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Please check his average pace in the previous games. He’s consistently 135-138 km/h which is decent for an all-rounder.

I'm talking about the game I'm watching right now and I haven't said he has been bad or awful.

Good one

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Faheem has worked Williamson over...

 

[yasir]

Faheem has bowled lot better than Raees, he is 5 clicks faster than him.

 

[Syed1]

And then they said Pandya is better ) ) )

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Brilliant stop by Shadab

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Great fielding by Shady

 

[Hasan123]

Shadab with a brilliant stop.

 

[babajee]

Time to choke NZ.

Keep up the Jazba boys

 

[Nasty Naz]

Man Faheem looks good. Domestic stats are good too, I think he could be a quality allrounder.

 

[Aman]

Pakistan's fielding has been impressive.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Faheem has bowled lot better than Raees, he is 5 clicks faster than him.

Apart from that one ball to Munro he has been pretty average.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Guptill woeful except for 2 good shots

SR of 52 over 50 deliveries

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nope.

He wasn't bowling in the wind?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Shadab back into the attack,from the other end.

 

[ExplicitAI]

This is where the wheels come off for NZ, their RR is falling.

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

Raees' last over cost us a lot and I fear his bowling might cost us the match.

 

[Syed1]

This is the stage of the game where Pakistan wins matches.

 

[Aman]

Pakistan bowling really well

Although these two are our best batsmen, they're not in the best of form right now and are short on runs.

 

[Ahson8]

Brilliant over from Fahim

 

[world cup captain]

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

What is wrong with people? One's pace will increase due to wind while the other's decrease.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good pressure being created

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Guptill woeful except for 2 good shots

SR of 52 over 50 deliveries

This is what Azhar Ali's role will be when we come to chase.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

He wasn't bowling in the wind?

He was bowling towards the direction of the wind

Raees was bowling against it

 

[blue_champion]

Shadab is a good cricketer....I see him eventually go in the Shoaib Malik or Hafeez role in the future,a proper bat who is more than handy with the ball. I mean just in that role...hopefully for your sake he becomes more quality than them

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What is wrong with people? One's pace will increase due to wind while the other's decrease.

All about the effort put into it.

 

[Abdullah719]

He wasn't bowling in the wind?

No.

He bowled the 1st, 3rd, 5th... etc. overs. Those were from the other end.

Shadab is bowling the 19th over from that same end.

 

[Sirris]

It was just Munro's onslaught, Guptil hasn't done much.

 

[Syed1]

Cruel Saifi scolding PP darling


Sack Saifi how could he

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Great bowling.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He was bowling towards the direction of the wind

Raees was bowling against it

Oh yes.

 

[blue_champion]

What the hell is Gutpill doing? This is a poor innings

 

[Sirris]

Shadab is a good cricketer....I see him eventually go in the Shoaib Malik or Hafeez role in the future,a proper bat who is more than handy with the ball. I mean just in that role...hopefully for your sake he becomes more quality than them

I hope he fulfills that role better than Hafeez and Malik ever did.

 

[Syed1]

It's not spinning at all

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Wicket please!!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Last 5 overs have been good by Pakistan. Need to build up on this now which can be a little hard.

 

[Syed1]

This is what Azhar Ali's role will be when we come to chase.

I hope not... this is a garbage innings.. but Azhar Ali would probably match it

 

[dauntless]

Rumman trundler raees should be dropped and amir yamin should play instead

 

[Hasan123]

Faheem is doing a good job here. Holding an end, hope Shadab can pick up a wicket.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good move for a wide slip to Kane, he loves guiding it down there.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Timing was good by Kane

 

[Kroll]

Did I hear right? - Waqar saying don't look for wicket, wicket will come...

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Bit of a pressure release

 

[Syed1]

Excellent captaincy by Saifi to have wide slip to block Kane's scoring area



Slap on faces of PP experts

 

[Sirris]

Pakistan bowling really well

Although these two are our best batsmen, they're not in the best of form right now and are short on runs.

Guptil's figure so far would make the typical pak batsman proud.

 

[moghul]

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.

He is a T10 bowler, not even T20 and no way an ODI one .
