New Zealand vs Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Saxton Oval | Jan 9, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

Well played Hasan - this guy would have still been playing for Sui Gas, had Arthur not been there.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Hassan ali is the new super star of Pakistan cricket....

[BleedGreen]

nice

 

[Shafi]

Amir is getting worse both as a batsman and even a bowler

 

[7sins]

I hope our besharam so called useless senior can learn from this youngsters

 

[MMHS]

Obviously net practice is not enough. One has to spend time in middle.

One has to have the ability. I have watched every ball today - take 1st over; Southee bowled couple of absolute rubbish - short, wide, out side off - Azhar shoulder armed both. This mentality doesn't work even in Test.

He is making sure PAK bats for 50 overs. If he survives, he'll go after in last 8/9 balls.

 

[Jabo]

Pathetic from the top order

PSL made him, not Arthur, credit to Mohammad Akram and Afridi... Played under Sarf as captain Internatioanlly in t20s first

Lots of deserving players didnt picked because of azhar and hafeez malik.. umar amin was in fantastic form also farhan

Yeah, saw those. Those were two fours with a better batsman.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

The Top 6 should be ashamed of themselves and if I had my way all of them would be dropped for the next match.

hASAN and shadab cheetay

He was made long before PSL, you can check his FC stats. He won't have made to PAK team, because of the reason if I write, you won't like that - it goes against stability mode of operation.

His batting ability isn't a surprise - you can check my post from 2 years back. That free swing of bat, that back lift comes naturally.

Yes which is why he couldn't chase 3 runs against Gladiators in the semi final of the first PSL. His batting has improved but in no way he is an allrounder... Long way to go

 

[Rayyman]

Shadab needs to maintain balance while hitting.

 

[MMHS]

I expect a close match, but PAK probably 25 short. Problem is Kiwi openers will attack the new ball - for a 250 sort of target, they'll eat up the target quickly.

 

[babajee]

Wow... Rumman is a decent hitter

I think if we can keep them tight in first 10 then Shadab and Malik can do well on this pitch.

You bring irrelevant stats in argument - Kohli failed to chase below 300 target twice in last Test, that doesn't make him rubbish. Misbah failed to close a match twice against IND, but it'll be foolish to rubbish his WC final innings, because of that failure.

 

[MMHS]

I called 245/9, need a dot for that.......

 

[BleedGreen]

246

Yes I am not saying he was chasing a 100 runs and failed, it was only 3 runs and he holed out to the third man on his first ball. Batting to Aizaz Cheema

Good fighting spirit shown by Pakistan in the 2nd ODI

Pak vs NZ 2nd ODI. Good fighting spirit shown by Pakistan to reach 246/8

I am happy with this team just need one solid aggressive batsman on top to support Fakhar and a solid fast bowler that can support Amir and Hasan Ali. I think we are really missing Junaid Khan here. At top a solid batsman that can play longer innings will really lift Pakistan, I think this team have all ingredients to beat NZ in their home.
