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

[Aman]

To many wides today

What's hurting is the extra deliveries.

We've bowled 9 extra deliveries today.

 

[Aman]

Rance is garbage.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Another wide .Harsh call

 

[Space Cat]

Rance is garbage.

Hes only good when it swings

 

[angrypathan]

Santner puts down a dolly

 

[Madplayer]

Sarfaraz dropped lol

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Dropped by Santner

 

[Aman]

Hes only good when it swings

He seems rubbish period.

 

[Madplayer]

2 more overs. 30 needed to get to 210.

 

[Space Cat]

Hes a world class ground fielder but Santner drops far to many catches

 

[Aman]

Going to need Guptill, Munro and CdG to fire today.

 

[Smudger]

Last 5 overs 60

 

[Madplayer]

Need to makes these deliveries count. Need. Flourish

 

[Aman]

Hes a world class ground fielder but Santner drops far to many
catches

Was it him or Wheeler that cost a series win in England?

IIIRC one of them dropped a sitterr for Buttler and that would have finished the game, England went onto win the decider.

 

[babajee]

If only we had more T20 batsmen..

 

[babajee]

Sarfraz

kya khaya hai aap ne

 

[angrypathan]

My goodness, he's killed him

 

[Madplayer]

Massive by sarf

 

[Arham_PakFan]

by Sarfraz

 

[Smudger]

Humungous

 

[Aman]

Ben Wheeler and Rance were poor selections for Eden Park.

 

[Madplayer]

Sarfaraz out but need a Faheem special here now. 9 balls to get 20 runs.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

this time.

Send Hassan

 

[badsha001]

Sarfraz

kya khaya hai aap ne

Beztiiiiiiii

 

[JattMaula]

Sarfaraz on

 

[babajee]

Yess Faheem

 

[Smudger]

by Sarfraz

Superb knock

 

[dhonixi]

Good innings by sarfaraz

 

[Madplayer]

Faheem in. He needs to somehow hit 3 sixes here in the remaining balls.

 

[Acricfan]

Send Faheem

 

[Madplayer]

Munro has a niggle . Hahah

 

[babajee]

Nooo Faheem

 

[Madplayer]

Faheem :

 

[shariqnoor]

Great crowd in. Wasn't expecting it given the thrashing Pakistan has received on this tour.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Faheem gone first ball

 

[Mir jibran]

send hassan

 

[angrypathan]

Faheem wastes a golden opportunity, but these situations are hit or miss

 

[Pete Rose]

faheem has become a one trick pony.

 

[dhonixi]

So faheem kaalis out on first ball. But pandya can't match him

 

[Aman]

Would have been a stunner.

 

[Aman]

So faheem kaalis out on first ball. But pandya can't match him

LMAO.

Faheem is decent, but he's no Pandya.

 

[badsha001]

Competition of ducks going on between Pandaya and Faheem

 

[shariqnoor]

Good over for NZ i guess. Only 9 runs.

 

[Smudger]

So faheem kaalis out on first ball. But pandya can't match him

Can you tell me pandya t20i average

 

[angrypathan]

Any runs are welcome runs

 

[Madplayer]

Finally a

 

[shariqnoor]

NZ saved about 10 extra runs in these last 2 overs.

 

[babajee]

So faheem kaalis out on first ball. But pandya can't match him

It happens... just wait

 

[dhonixi]

[MENTION=145909]Smudger[/MENTION] pandya has so many innings of note in every format. Can you atleast tell me one innings of worthiness of faheem in any format??

 

[Usman Chadda]

Haha Hasan.

 

[angrypathan]

Need a boundary off the last ball, would be a great mental boost to have 200

 

[Fahdi]

Fakhar has a t20 100

So does Shehzad, so does Shakeel Ansar. Internationals are a whole different ball game. Don't get me wrong he is a lot better than most of what we have but he lacks the range of strokes top level T20 openers posses. He has a few zones where he is very strong. At international level teams will look to frustrate him as they have done in matches before this one. In T20s he will feel the pressure to hit out which will induce false strokes, as has happened before in internationals. In T20Is the best players have plenty of scoring zones so they can't get bogged down.

 

[Madplayer]

Babar needs to hit a 4

 

[Aman]

202 to win.

One of Guptill or Munro will need to score big.

 

[angrypathan]

Shot
50 for Babar too, and the 200 comes up too

 

[Madplayer]

Babar hits a 4 . 200 up and 50 up for Babar in 29 balls.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Babar Azam. Well played.

 

[dhonixi]

[MENTION=143344]babajee[/MENTION] i know thats why its foolish to bump a thread comparing both after one pandya's failure

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Garbage from Babar, should've smacked a hundred and done a fist pump and stared down Boult while he was doing it as well.

Limited player

He has something which others lack. Intent.

 

[dhonixi]

Babar played well today

 

[Saeed]

Good batting from Babar. We should have gotten at least 220 but its ok. Hopefully bowlers will show up today.

 

[babajee]

[MENTION=143344]babajee[/MENTION] i know thats why its foolish to bump a thread comparing both after one pandya's failure

Yeah that’s a bit silly..

 

[Savak]

Lol if Pakistan posted 200 in a T-20 game, you can be well assured that it is excellent batting conditions with extremely short boundaries. Fearing the bowlers will dissapoint.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Batsmen have done their job.

Backing the bowlers. Let's make it 1-1 boiz

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Very good batting performance but i still feel we are 10 runs short for some reason. Maybe this NZ batting lineup is that scary. Sarfraz sent himself up the order far too late in this tour.

 

[imshally81]

Great Batting show by batsmen

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Nice to see happy PPers after a long time

 

[Snatch]

Perfect concrete-like batting pitch with plenty of pace & some of the shortest boundaries in the world.

I'm not sure that 200 is any better than par is it?

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

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.

 

[Lynx]

To everyone who was doubting Sarfraz's caliber, this is why he needs to bat at 4 in LOIs, be it ODIs or T20s. Having Hafeez off the team is such a massive boost to our batting lineup. Sarfraz at 4 is a whole different beast.
