New Zealand vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Dunedin | Jan 13, 2018 | New Zealand innings

[Aman]

Ian Smith has a massive crush on Trent Boult if you hadnt noticed.

. Boult's batting is fun to watch tbh.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I'll take 257, that's about par but we should have gotten a lot more than that.

Yeh u right. Pakistan batting missing fire power up the order. Really missing Sharjeel in this small grounds he would have murdered nzl bowlers. If i was sarfraz i would send fahim and Fakhr to go and have fun.

 

[Syed1]

Need a quick fifty from Soldier and a customary selfish ton from Bobby

 

[babajee]

couple wickets where the ball could have ricoched anywhere but the stumps.

it seems 70% of his wickets are from batsmen slogging away.

He’s a very very very good bowler. IDC how he takes his wickets as long as he takes them.

 

[shokz1408]

Well if we can't chase 257 there's no hope.

 

[Space Cat]

Should of got 280 with the platform but its still a defendable target. If Pakistan see off the new ball without the usual disaster they should chase it.

Not easy bowling against the wind.

 

[MMHS]

You think 240 is comfortable on this pitch? It's difficult for stroke players and has been impossible to accelerate on.

Below 260 isn't difficult these days - almost in every condition, you just need to bat out 50 overs. It's a smallish ground as well & PAK's tail is good. Only issue is top order might take it to 100/5 in 29 overs.

 

[RagingJ]

Pak chasing anything over 230 makes me nervous.

 

[Aman]

Should bowl normally with the new ball, if it doesn't work we need to start mixing up overs with slower balls.

 

[MMHS]

Sarfraz might face a over rate ban here ....

This is not against India and its not Mohali and I personally feel we will win today. But But With Pakistan nothing is certain.

True, but I think if we bowl smart we should defend it.

 

[MRSN]

This was a mediocre batting performance from the Kiwis. No wonder they share the lower ranking with us.

 

[Shutdown Corner]

Just making an observation.

Good. Let Fakhar Zaman lead the side next games.

 

[nads_rocks]

Kiwi's have got enough. Can't see pakistan chasing this especially with out only batsman being Fakhar at the top and Faheem Shadab and Hassan in the lower order.

Don't underestimate Babar bhai jaan. He is our best Batsmen and after many yrs we have found a good batsmen. He is the key today along with Malik.

Not true, but even if it was, Too bad no Bangladeshi bowler can get wickets even when batsmen are slogging.

 

[MRSN]

Platform was set for last 10 overs to get 100 odd runs with plenty of wickets in the hand but NZ batsmen panicked. Their lack of lower order power hitting was also exposed. Kiwis top order is strong. They need to replace Latham. He is not good enough to bat in the last 15 overs.

 

[BaankeJi]

Looking at the excellent fightback, Pakistan gave away 20 runs too many.

a 260 against Pakistan is more like 300 as our batsmen love to play dot dot dot and big shots.

 

[Solid Snake]

you could nudge yourself there, but the only way you're really going to get out is trying to force the pace.

Was just a dig at our players tuk-tuk style of play, and how theoretically, for once it might actually be appropriate .

Having said that, I wouldn't put it past us to make a meal out of this. Too many passengers in the team. Lets see!

Hojata bhai. Kahan 300 or kahan 257 any team will take it. We are giving to much respect to nzl bowlers smash them i would say.

 

[MMHS]

Who is going to keep? People gets touchi with Ul Haq, but .....

Don't ever bring up Mohali. The amount that game angers me even to this day...

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Should chase this down. Babar has to click today.

 

[Aman]

Phillips should come into the side for Latham, Ryder for Nicols and Colin for Astle.

 

[Syed1]

A small part of me died that day.... First we dropped that bona fifteen times and then Mr Tuk tuk handed the game to India... Fazul tareen batsman any sane country would have ended his pathetic career right there
