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

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[Arham_PakFan]

 

[babajee]

Not just rain... even the wind is coming to save NZ

 

[MoJoJoJo]

Azhar has to use both hands to get himself off the floor and it's still a four

nup.. that was 3..not a boundary

 

[srh]

halwa ball

 

[waleed88]

Amir is such a crap bowler

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Fifty for Williamson

 

[srh]

Amir dont bowl wicket taking balls much

 

[deems]

The talented Amir comes back to get spanked

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

NZ are getting comfy here

 

[Someone]

Amir back to his original form.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Malik continues from the other end

 

[Aman]

3-4 more overs and Taylor should launch.

 

[deems]

But it's not his fault because we don't have any better options according to some pp experts.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Need to get through these Malik overs quickly

 

[castortroy]

Taylor looks in form

He will massacre it in the end

 

[KingKhanWC]

Malik )

Grab it dude!

 

[babajee]

3-4 more overs and Taylor should launch.

Good luck with that

 

[MeanAndGreen]

A wicket here will be huge, NZL batting after this is inexperienced

 

[Syed1]

Need a wicket asap

 

[MoJoJoJo]

always got a feeling watching amir bowl that hes not giving his 100%.. anyone felt the same?

 

[Arsalan Pro]

This partnership is getting dangerous

 

[MeanAndGreen]

3-4 more overs and Taylor should launch.

I don't think you can 'launch' as such on this pitch. Will probably go 5 an over until 45th unless there is some real poor bowling

 

[Rana]

Not Enjoying This at all, Pakistan have struggled to take wickets on this tour

 

[Arham_PakFan]

5 runs off the over.

 

[Syed1]

Easy singles

 

[MeanAndGreen]

This wind is obviously annoying the players

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Shadab returns, needs to get a wicket

 

[MoJoJoJo]

Good luck with that

The poor guy is actually jinxing the newzealanders

 

[Nasty Naz]

Please take out Malik from the attack. They need wickets here, not to let these batsmen easily settle and aim for a big total.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Shadab can't find anything length

 

[Arsalan Pro]

One bounce to the fielder at the boundary

 

[Rayyman]

Under 270 will be good.

 

[waleed88]

Amir taken off the attack, Sarfraz tired of his half trackers )

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good fielding

 

[srh]

Not Enjoying This at all, Pakistan have struggled to take wickets on this tour

Amir is missing Junaid

 

[MeanAndGreen]

I'd back PAK to chase anything under 270

 

[Rana]

bowling short and rubbish

 

[Arsalan Pro]

136/2 after 30 overs.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Amir taken off the attack, Sarfraz tired of his half trackers )

To be fair he bowled a quality spell at the start, Pakistan simply don't have better options

 

[MRSN]

Please take out Malik from the attack. They need wickets here, not to let these batsmen easily settle and aim for a big total.

but but but he is a genius captain..

 

[MoJoJoJo]

i dont mind getting spanked for sixes or fours as long as i m taking wickets.. this run stopping technique will take you nowhere

 

[MeanAndGreen]

I think Pakistan would've liked to have a Shinwari on this tour - could've hurried the batsmen up a bit in these conditions with his quick arm. I doubt Junaid would've bowled much better than Fahim

 

[babajee]

Why not Fakhar instead of Malik... he turns the ball away from these two

 

[Arsalan Pro]

We shouldn't let them make more than 250

 

[Syed1]

We can win if we keep NZ below 250

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

I'd back PAK to chase anything under 270

not happening mate

 

[MeanAndGreen]

This should be Malik's last - then we've completed 10 overs from spinners

 

[Rayyman]

Why not Fakhar instead of Malik... he turns the ball away from these two

He's half-injured

 

[Syed1]

I think Pakistan would've liked to have a Shinwari on this tour - could've hurried the batsmen up a bit in these conditions with his quick arm. I doubt Junaid would've bowled much better than Fahim

Fahim has been one of our best bowlers on this tour and especially today

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Malik into his fourth over

 

[Rayyman]

This should be Malik's last - then we've completed 10 overs from spinners

Or Faheem doesn't have to bowl again.

 

[MoJoJoJo]

if nz somehow manages to get 300+ from here, i'd be very depressed..

 

[waleed88]

but but but he is a genius captain..

When Malik isn't bowled?

Why isn't Malik being utilized? Sarf doesn't even ask Malik on his opinions

THe reason we won CT, Malik's motivational speech remember

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Easy singles no pressure

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Fahim has been one of our best bowlers on this tour and especially today

Yep, thought he handled the pressure well today. Bowling with the new ball first time and into the wind. Handled it well - looks a decent allround prospect

 

[babajee]

He's half-injured

Oh yeah.. forgot about that

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Big 20 overs here - PAK gotta be on their heels

Garbage from Rumman just as I speak

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Rumman returns with a four

 

[Arsalan Pro]

No ball from Rumman

 

[MeanAndGreen]

This should be the end of Raees on this tour - I can't stand bowlers who bowl no balls - just shift s the momentum

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

taylor may remind pakistan of 2011 wc phainty

 

[MoJoJoJo]

raees is stepping up in absence of riaz.. unfortunately he stepped way out of the crease :/

 

[castortroy]

Game is already over. They will get 280 min which will is 30 runs too many

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Four on the free hit

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Poor from Sarfraz as well, falling into the Azhar trap of trying to get all of his weaker bowlers out of the way before the death. Hasan should bowl here

 

[On_the_up]

Slowly but inevitably it seems

NZ are heading towards a near 300 total.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

3 more runs

 

[Rayyman]

why bowl a bouncer with that field. You have a smart brain. use it.

 

[Rana]

Started off ok but now NA all set for a big score

 

[castortroy]

300 still on the cards

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Rubbish over

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Raees has been disappointing on this tour, looks club level . Should stick to Islamabad United and Faysal bank T20s

 

[MoJoJoJo]

garbage stuff from pak.. we stand no chance of winning it from here... there's a huuuuge gap between world no 5 n 6..

 

[Syed1]

Raees is garbage

 

[Hiraeth]

Rumman is such a halva bowler.

 

[j_kazmi]

Under 270 will be good.

I'd back PAK to chase anything under 270

After seeing our terrible performances, what makes you so optimistic?

 

[UP]

300 is on

 

[Rayyman]

I haven't seen one yorker today.

 

[babajee]

We can pull it back. A wicket and we can dominate them again.
