[Pete Rose]

If you want an understanding of Pakistan’s defensive mindset listen to what Waqar is saying

 

[MMHS]

This is something I wrote in last match - DWL doesn't consider the gap in Kiwi attack after 12 overs. Had that match lasted full distance, despite 40-5, PAK would have made it close; but not close enough to cover W'son's drop.

Lol i know his stream is always ahead i don’t mind it tho.

 

[babajee]

Misbah would be so proud

 

[dauntless]

Na professor Saab na!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Both good players of spin, should score well for a few overs.

I never understood what is the purpose of posting 1...4...6

We all are watching the match no need to turn this into scorecard

 

[QalandarFan]

yes tonk that spinner.

 

[CricFan2012]

Four shabash

Bhai 30 sec k gap sey hi send karta hon...

 

[Rayyman]

Ayyyy good stuff boyzzz.

 

[yasir]

Way too many dots against spinners, that too by our best players of spin...

 

[dauntless]

Stole the single

 

[CricFan2012]

Bhai can you wait 30 seconds before posting this...

OK bro

 

[dauntless]

Bit of sensible batting

 

[CricketAnalyst]

It will be a big score. Once later on the runs will come very fast. The lower order can score quickly and whatever the flaws of Hafeez and Malik they know how to cash in when they are very set.

Buddy.. This is live commentary thread..

 

[MRSN]

As I said after the first game, this New Zealand attack is pretty mediocre minus Southee and Boult. If we don't get a 300 score against this bowling then no hope.

 

[Pete Rose]

I will bet a 1000 dollars that Hafeez has no idea that the rules of the game have changed

 

[RagingJ]

Dot ball.

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

Any attack with Akhtar, McGrath and Murli is not mediocre by any sense of the imagination.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Need these two to bat till the 35th over

 

[Syed1]

Bets on both of these getting out as soon as they get to their fifties

 

[imshally81]

 

[Pete Rose]

A bondary and four dot balls is quite useless

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Need these two to bat till the 35th over

Malik

kiwis missing a trick by not playing Sodhi and Henry, both quality bowlers

 

[Zeshan547]

in 1st 20 over, 8 four 2 sixes plus 7 extra runs, total 51, but only 28 single, only if they had 28 more single pak would be at 107 /3 after 20, that's is the biggest culprit, lack of single where as most casual fans would think lack of bounderies, [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] agrree?

 

[Pete Rose]

Called it

 

[imshally81]

Which rule u referred...?

 

[waleed88]

I will bet a 1000 dollars that Hafeez has no idea that the rules of the game have changed

There you go... Malik gone after a fancy 27

 

[Ellipsism]

I would rather Shadab be sent in next ahead of specialist captain.

 

[KingKhanWC]

What an absolute joker, falling for the obvious trap.

 

[Lynx]

Knew Malik was going to go for a big shot and get out the moment Latham shouted 'Pitch it up boy' to Astle.

 

[Pete Rose]

Not many ppl notice but Malik’s game against spin in top teams has also deteriorated

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

Shabash. Experience proving to be extremely valuable.

 

[srh]

Pakistan batsman is so easy to manipulate

 

[MRSN]

kiwis missing a trick by not playing Sodhi and Henry, both quality bowlers

unlike Pakistan, they are experimenting.

 

[shady]

Our 7 and 8 batters are far more capable than our 4 and 5 batters. Thats clearly an issue with the makeup of the team and yet Sarfraz and Mickey do nothing about it.

 

[dauntless]

Here comes the unfit captain

 

[Syed1]

This is what happens when you block block block and then look for big shout... get lost. I hope Hafeez gets out soon too. I'd take a 5-0 if it gets rid of filth like Azhar, Malik and Hafeez.

 

[castortroy]

Question to some of the fans that predicted we would win the series 4-1. Honestly where does the optimism come from?

 

[Rana]

Decent partnership, need to take it to 200 off 40 overs

 

[Pete Rose]

Which rule u referred...?

Running across the crease to preserve your wicket

 

[imshally81]

 

[MMHS]

I think, early wickets are not helping. Singles come when 2 set batsmen are in middle.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Straight(ish) drive for

 

[On_the_up]

Bit of sensible batting

You were saying..

 

[castortroy]

Before every series I see some wile predictions. Even before the Aussie tour some predicted we would beat them in their backyard

 

[in_cutter]

Big trouble now

 

[MRSN]

What an absolute joker, falling for the obvious trap.

had to. would not have easier bowler to score runs against.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pathetic batting

 

[Syed1]

Captain better score some runs today

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan’s batting starts after Sarfraz

 

[Sirris]

This is what over a decade of experience amounts to. A hard fought 26 against the mighty kiwis.

 

[MMHS]

Sarf's acid test today - he has 25+ overs to bat, and a set batsman at other end.

 

[CricFan2012]

Malik Out!

 

[Syed1]

Pakistan’s batting starts after Sarfraz

Shadab and Fahim are our best batsmen lmao

 

[Hamad_H]

That is why you need to rotate strike. Put pressure on the bowler not yourself but the style that the middle order like to play is dots and then boundary. I have to say India rotate strike really well and they seem to effortlessly score runs in ODIs

 

[dauntless]

Not looking good

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Sarfraz to face his first ball.Let’s hope he hits some runs and gets into form.

 

[castortroy]

Sarfraz is too fat and with the captaincy pressure, his batting has really regressed

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez again negating his goood work: scores boundary and then keeps blocking

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

Shadab and Fahim are our best batsmen lmao

Fakhar is our best batsman in ODIs.

 

[RagingJ]

50 for the Legend Hafeez coming soon, along with a one year free ride.

 

[CricFan2012]

Nice straight four by Hafeez, century on the card, redemption for 2011 World Cup semi final

 

[Syed1]

Fakhar is our best batsman in ODIs.

Not in thsi match

 

[nads_rocks]

Question to some of the fans that predicted we would win the series 4-1. Honestly where does the optimism come from?

the bowling...

 

[Pete Rose]

Sarf's acid test today - he has 25+ overs to bat, and a set batsman at other end.

Set batsman will not help him in settling by keeping the scoreboard ticking

 

[MRSN]

look at that belly of Sarfraz...looks like some pehlwan on cricket field..

 

[imshally81]

We need Harris in the middle..

 

[Syed1]

too much biryani for Sarfaraz

 

[CricFan2012]

Fakhar is our best batsman in ODIs.

And you make that conclusion after how many innings? Babar is as he has played many more matches albeit most of his runs are against poor bowlers

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

Not in thsi match

That's debatable. I reckon he's better than all our batsmen even sitting on the sidelines. I've heard he makes some very good chai.

 

[Zeshan547]

but still 28 single in 20 overs are justified? pak was 3 down not 6 down that they were just surviving [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION]
