New Zealand vs Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Auckland | Jan 25, 2018 | New Zealand Innings

[Abdullah719]

201 to defend.

Can we win this?

 

[babajee]

If we let Kane bat

 

[Snatch]

Where are the babar critics now? Openers saw off the new ball and babar capitalised big time. Regardless of outcome of the game, great performance.

So he can fail 6-7 times in a row and fans aren't allowed to criticize him in case he finally scores some runs on the most perfect batting pitch imaginable? Ok

 

[imshally81]

Same CT equation

 

[Madplayer]

Same CT equation

Pakistani bowlers have bowled well on this entire tour. It wont be because of runs on the board if they do it again today.

 

[imshally81]

So he can fail 6-7 times in a row and fans aren't allowed to criticize him in case he finally scores some runs on the most perfect batting pitch imaginable? Ok

Babar still better than Malik, Hafeez & Amin

 

[Nitya85]

Pakistan is 30 Runs Short
This is 225-230 pitch

 

[Madplayer]

Pathetic start from Amir

 

[Lynx]

This was one of the very few times I've seen actual intent from both Shehzad and Babar, and look how it paid dividends. Their issues have always been mental. If these two can play like this you have to wonder why they've been playing like they're caged all the time.

 

[Madplayer]

Amir trying to bowl shot again. This is not the pitch.

 

[Shafi]

30 runs shot!!!!Amir should be given strong message if he wants to play for Pakistan

 

[Madplayer]

5 from the 1st

 

[dhonixi]

Amir being Amir

 

[MMHS]

If PAK wins today, does it changes the T20 ranking table?

 

[Saeed]

Pathetic start from Amir

Lol you said the same for Shahzad and he batted beautifully. Hopefully Amir will do the same.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

So he can fail 6-7 times in a row and fans aren't allowed to criticize him in case he finally scores some runs on the most perfect batting pitch imaginable? Ok

A lot of his criticism was valid as he was pathetic throughout he tour. But some of it was bang over the top considering his performances over the last couple of years and has hopefully been put to bed today.

 

[Space Cat]

Guptill is in no rush at all.

 

[babajee]

Poor from Rumman. Just as pressure was being built

 

[MeanAndGreen]

How many no balls does Rumman wanna bowl on this tour. Thought we had ridden ourselves of this rubbish

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Need to keep the extras down to a min. NZL gave away far too many, let's not return the favour

 

[Saeed]

Guptill is struggling with shots, we got to get him soon.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Fantastic yorker

 

[Shafi]

Amir is like a robot!!!!! Keep balling in same line and length

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Amir is like a robot!!!!! Keep balling in same line and length

Do you ever have anything to say that's not over the top and negative?

And look, he's struck as well!

 

[babajee]

That’s why you bowl full...

 

[Shafi]

Finally a wicket!!!!

 

[Saeed]

Looks to me, huge wicket.

 

[Usman Chadda]

The worst batsman from New Zealand I have seen since I have started watching cricket. Please don't insult McCullum by comparing this hack to one of the best batsmen of modern LOI cricket.

 

[Shafi]

Do you ever have anything to say that's not over the top and negative?

And look, he's struck as well!

That's why he needs criticism to prove himself!!!!

 

[Acricfan]

That's what pitching it up can do.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Those 2 overs right there are proof why all the calls for Amir getting dropped are downright futile

 

[Usman Chadda]

Wow Haris. Wonderful catch.

KW gone for a first ball duck.

 

[Saeed]

Williamson too

 

[badsha001]

Pakistan lost the game by getting Williamson out

 

[boomboom6]

Those 2 overs right there are proof why all the calls for Amir getting dropped are downright futile

Did not show up in the ODIs, was absolutely toothless. Lets not get carried away.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Great Catch by Haris Sohail

 

[Lynx]

Lol how did Haris catch that with his pot belly?

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Lol how did Haris catch that with his pot belly?

May be that's just how it looks )

 

[Lynx]

Those 2 overs right there are proof why all the calls for Amir getting dropped are downright futile

Has only showed up 2 times in the last 2 years. People calling for his ouster were completely right based on his performances. His mythical hidden abilities need to come out if he is to stay in the team. Bowling fuller is a good start.

 

[Madplayer]

Roman reigns drops a dolly.

 

[Saeed]

Catch dropped of Bruce and six.

 

[Madplayer]

Faheem is actually bowling well. Unlucky boundaries for him. Should have got a wicket.

 

[Madplayer]

This is a massive over.

 

[Acricfan]

Faheem cranking it up

 

[Lynx]

Damn it. NZ still keeping up with the run rate even with the fall of 2 early wickets.

 

[Madplayer]

This NZ innings has been chaos so far.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Byes for that is unfair. No way would Sarfraz have got there.

 

[Saeed]

Damn it. NZ still keeping up with the run rate even with the fall of 2 early wickets.

Just lucky runs, Pakistan has to keep taking wickets.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Fahim bowled such a good over

 

[Fahdi]

Unlucky Faheem. A four off the top edge, a catch dropped and the 4 byes

 

[Lynx]

Now that Faheem over is what you call being unlucky. 2 edges (1 of which should've been out) and 4 byes. Good aggression though.

 

[Madplayer]

Haris sohail induces a runout. He is the best fielder in Pakistan tonight hahah

 

[Lynx]

Just lucky runs, Pakistan has to keep taking wickets.

Hoping for Shadab to pick up a few when he comes on to bowl.

 

[Saeed]

Omg Direct hit, Bruce could be out.

 

[Fahdi]

Haris Sohail Pakistan's best fielder

 

[jog_1]

Haris Sohail a fielding GOAT rn

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Wow Haris Sohail. Great fielding

 

[shariqnoor]

Sarfraz again with his angry outburst. You can be angry on someone for slacking and allowing 2 runs when there was only a single but shaming a player over a dropped catch in front of everyone is unacceptable to me. Do you think by being angry on Rumman, his ability to catch the next ball will increase?

 

[Madplayer]

145 kph from Hassan ali

 

[Lynx]

Loving the energy out there. A completely different team to the one's which has been beaten black and blue on the tour so far.

 

[jog_1]

Rumman cannot field for his life

 

[Hiraeth]

Quality over from Hasan.

 

[Madplayer]

Sarfraz again with his angry outburst.

Sarf was asking him to stay at the boundary ropes because he had come in a lot.

 

[Space Cat]

Everything going right for Pakistan now. NZ still alive with De Grandhomme to come but not much after him.

 

[Lynx]

Hasan notching up 145kph! Wow.

 

[Madplayer]

Rumman raees is having it today from sarfaraz )

 

[Madplayer]

Shadab takes Guptill

 

[Space Cat]

Not a good innings by Guptill at all.

 

[jog_1]

Game over for NZ

 

[Saeed]

Sarfraz needs to stop shouting, he is putting extra pressure on fielders.

 

[Aman]

That's game.

Pakistan have bowled the right lengths on this ground and tied things up.

The only reason we have a decent score right now is because it's Eden Park.

On any other ground with the way we've batted, it would be 30/4 after 7.

 

[Alter_Ego]

Rumman raees is having it today from sarfaraz )

Rumman is generally a very good fielder just not his day today

 

[Saeed]

Guptill Get grandhomme next.

 

[babajee]

Fahim bowled such a good over

He always bowls well.. but chief Pp expert says he’s an average bowler with a trash action

 

[badsha001]

Pakistani players need danda to keep them motivated...

 

[Aman]

LMAO Santner in next?

Did we really play with 6 bowlers? )

Such a terrible side picked for Eden Park.

 

[Madplayer]

Faheem bowling 139 clicks.

 

[Aman]

The RRR is still do-able but we've got no one else left.

Grandma can hit

Rubbish from Phillips.
