New Zealand vs Pakistan | 4th ODI | Hamilton | Jan 16, 2018 | New Zealand Innings

[Abdullah719]

262 to defend. Can we do it?

 

[troodon]

Get Munro and guptil out cheaply and Pak can win this. If one of them has a good day, they will make this chase look easy.

 

[PakLFC]

Good effort by the under fire skipper. Had Shoaib and Harris not got out to daft shots we would have reached 300. As it is I fancy NZ to win it rather easily now. Please get of Hafeez and Sarfaraz's backs now after two fine knocks.

 

[Saeed]

Pakistan will need early wickets. If Munro and Guptill manage to have even a small partnership, they will win. Pakistan needs to go in with the goal to get New Zealand all out. Trying to contain them will not work because the score is still low.

Will it rain today?

 

[waleed88]

We've been so deprived of good batting on this tour that this knock sounds like a knock of the ages for us....

We are pleased easily

 

[RagingJ]

Short grounds, most of Paks boundaries at the start where mishits. Considering Pak lack power and New Zealand don't, then this should be an easy chase.

No wonder, this was a 350 ground and we made only 260

 

[Titan24]

Exceptional and gutsy knock from captain under pressure.

 

[Titan24]

Hafeez was outstanding, I am not sure why cant we play him at 3 down or 4 down he is such a crisp hitter of a cricket ball.

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez was outstanding, I am not sure why cant we play him at 3 down or 4 down he is such a crisp hitter of a cricket ball.

he was not outstanding. he played a run a ball innings. he was adequate. all his hits came right at the end of the innings, he usually scores his first 30 in 60 balls. That is not a batsman that allow to kill the momentum at top of the innings.

 

[Saeed]

Hafeez was outstanding, I am not sure why cant we play him at 3 down or 4 down he is such a crisp hitter of a cricket ball.

It’s just one inning. He was playing really slow earlier, last few overs made him look good. Hafeez should be batting at 6, Pakistan needs better players in the top order.

 

[Pete Rose]

I am very happy for sarfaraz. he needed this more for himself. needs to back himself and come at 4.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

I predict Kiwis will win this within 42 overs

 

[Square Drive]

I swear if rain deprives us of taking a 3-1 lead in this series. [MENTION=141557]Chief Destroyer[/MENTION]

 

[Nothing matters]

Amir just going through motions.

 

[Saeed]

11 of Hassan Ali’s over.

 

[Shafi]

NZ will win by 35-38 overs with 8 wickets in hand

 

[DRsohail]

Rubbish length by golden boy.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Munro will score big today

 

[UP]

Amir is such a rubbish bowler. No swing or seam. Should learn from Boult.

 

[Acricfan]

Amir with those defensive lines

 

[Nothing matters]

pure rubbish good for nothing bowling by Amir.Hasan's over even though expensive was better.

 

[Rayyman]

Amir is such a rubbish bowler. No swing or seam. Should learn from Boult.

[DRsohail]

Just bowled a maiden...

[Nothing matters]

[Pete Rose]

[Shafi]

Amir is neutralised No wicket at all

 

[waleed88]

Mohammad Amir to Guptill, 2 runs, tempts him to reach out for a drive by firing it full and wide. Guptill does so and loses shape. Skews it in the air off the toe-end but gets it just past the three men running back from the covers

Mohammad Amir to Guptill, no run, short of a length, pitching outside leg and coming on at middle, defende

 

[Nothing matters]

Amir is a third change defensive bowler.

 

[Titan24]

Good pace from Hassan

 

[DRsohail]

5 short of length and one ball pitched up.

 

[Abdullah719]

Hamilton - 16 January, 2018: "While trying to take a run Shoaib Malik was hit on his head with a wayward throw. Shoaib was assessed on field by match doctor and myself. He did not have any symptoms of a concussion and was able to carry on playing. After getting out he was reassessed and was showing delayed concussion signs. He is doing well and is resting" said Pakistan Team Physiotherapist, Vib Singh. As advised by match doctor and Pakistan Team Physiotherapist, he will not be taking any further part in this match.

 

[Rayyman]

these maidens are gonna hurt.rubish length ,more of a container.

If it's a containing length then it's not rubbish.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Munro you butcher

 

[Madplayer]

New over and same back of the length nonsense from Amir.

 

[castortroy]

Games against newzeland back in the day used to be very competitive where we used to get the better of them.

However over the last 3-4 years they have elevated themselves while we have become worse.

The gap between the two teams now is ridiculous

 

[Pete Rose]

He bowled one full but wide ball that swung

 

[DRsohail]

If it's a containing length then it's not rubbish.

Yes he defending 350.

 

[UP]

Just bowled a maiden...

Short pitch rubbish.

 

[waleed88]

This would be Amir had we been defending 260 against India in the CT final

 

[Nothing matters]

5 short of length and one ball pitched up.

And that was a slower ball.

 

[waleed88]

This would be amir had we been defending 260 against India in the CT final

 

[Rayyman]

So many wrist slitters...I'm out.

 

[Azeem Zafar]

Amir is only trying to be more & more economical, he doesn't care about taking wickets. There's no intent at all. Extremely selfish bowling.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

When did pakistan last win a match against newzealand?

2014 sharjah

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Munro can finish this match within 35 overs

 

[Azeem Zafar]

Our bowlers are so afraid of Munro & Guptill, no one is trying enough to pitch the ball fuller & give it some air. No swing or seam movement at all, no good lenghts. We badly need someone like Sadaf Hussain.

 

[Nothing matters]

More of that Munro

 

[Someone]

Tooo ez boys

 

[castortroy]

Guptil always destroys us

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Once Corey Anderson becomes fit, kiwis will become beast of an ODI side

 

[Madplayer]

They will chase it in 35 to 40 overs it seems.

 

[Matlab kuch bhi]

Amir is only trying to be more & more economical, he doesn't care about taking wickets. There's no intent at all. Extremely selfish bowling.

It's not selfish, bowling fuller length is not easy, it needs more strength and accuracy or else it's a full toss. I suspect Amir is not feeling very confident with himself which is why he cannot pitch it fuller.

 

[Shafi]

Hope NZ don’t win by 10 wicket in 38 overs. This is 350 plus pitch

 

[jnaveen1980]

What is the idea behind Pak bowlers bowling short. Faheem guy almost every ball just short of a length.

 

[Someone]

126kmph so fast roman

 

[Pete Rose]

Azhar can’t be happy with these lengths

 

[badsha001]

This is a small ground...even mishit will easily go for six, hence short of a length ball so the batsmen don't have enough room to swing their bat.

This is a 350+ ground guys

 

[owaistabish]

126kmph so fast roman

Hapless bowling today

 

[DHONI_FAN]

It will be carnage if these two get past 15 overs

 

[castortroy]

This team played the game of their lives against India in the cl final but reality is that this team is so dated for modern day one day cricket

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a small ground...even mishit will easily go for six, hence short of a length ball so the batsmen don't have enough room to swing their bat.

This is a 350+ ground guys

But they are still leaking runs. And also you can't pick wickets with this length.

 

[indipper]

I am enjoying seeing Pakistan getting trashed today dont know why.

 

[castortroy]

They will get this in 38 overs

Kiwis are now like what the old Aussie team was to us. Phanty after phanty

 

[DHONI_FAN]

I am enjoying seeing Pakistan getting trashed today dont know why.

Indian??

 

[Someone]

EZ 6 boys

 

[Aman]

No excuses today, you've had more than enough time to adjust to conditions.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is the problem with bowling short.

 

[castortroy]

I did say we would lose 5-0 whereas other predicted we would win the series 4-1 hahah

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez scored a run a ball 80, just reminding

 

[DHONI_FAN]

I want Munro in my team

 

[Abdullah719]

Kane did say he was looking to bowl first....

 

[Aman]

Kane did say he was looking to bowl first....

Pretty sure it gets better to chase here, the ground is really small that you can score a lot towards the end with wickets in hand.

 

[Aman]

50 for Munro, this time off 33 balls.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rumman's thunderbolts are not really bothering Munro

 

[DHONI_FAN]

50 for Munro, this time off 33 balls.

Very slow by his standard
