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

[shariqnoor]

NZ will go at 5 RPO for the next 9 overs and that will leave them to score about 75 runs in the last 10. Easy if you have 6 wickets in the bag. I don't understand Sarfraz's tactics here.

 

[shariqnoor]

Thank God. Hasan is back. Good intent from Sarfraz.

 

[Savak]

Need to stop these singles

 

[mmkextreme_1]

With two new balls these days in ODIs, reverse doesn't happen!!!

Pakistan has reversed it before with the 2 new ball rule in effect.

 

[ammar_merry]

get in a slip for hassan

 

[Aman]

Bat 5 more overs then Nicols needs to go.

 

[Azeem Zafar]

If this pair manages to take the target below 100, they'll have the game in their pockets. I can't see amir taking 2-3 quick wickets, hasan can have his wicketless day (though I really hope he takes 2-3 again) & shadab cannot do this all on his own.

 

[shariqnoor]

Pakistan has reversed it before with the 2 new ball rule in effect.

Probably in conditions where the pitch square was rough and outfield not lush. Cannot see reverse happening in NZ in these conditions with such a lush even grass outfield.

 

[Aman]

Kane is showing why he's not in Kohli's league.

He would have coasted this chase, here Kane is letting the bowler get away and is unable to hit boundaries.

 

[Madplayer]

Hasan has been a shadow of himself on this tour. This game he has looked out of sorts so far. Hope he picks up a couple of wickets quickly.

 

[Saeed]

50 run partnership for New Zealand. RRR is going up but still managable with wickets in hand.

 

[Aman]

Nicols and Latham should not be in this team, I'm glad they've been found out this series.

Phillips and Chapman should be in the side ahead of them.

 

[Iffitheking]

Sarfaraz Please shut up, he is like bus conductor in Karachi, screaming, Sadar, Sadar, Sadar, Korangi, Korangi

 

[Aman]

Freaking 2-3 runs over after how long these two have been in is abysmal.

How on earth are you not able to hit boundaries on a 60m ground.

 

[Aman]

lmao not being able to put lolly pops away now Kane

 

[Aman]

Such a garbage innings from Kane.

This is why he's not anywhere near Kohli and Smith.

 

[Aman]

Looks fine.

 

[Naim]

Wow What a catch Rummannon

 

[AAli98]

NZ commys talking like NZ have won 4 world cups 3 champ trophys 2 20/20 world cups..

Biased commys at there best... NZ r just ur average team good at home pathetic away from home.

 

[daytrader]

We'll judged catch! This should be game

 

[shariqnoor]

Haris gets the big wicket. Good catch from Rumman too. Very stupid of Kane. Very stupid.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Haris you champ! Sarfaraz even bigger champ! Fantastic captaincy.

Great take from Rumman as well.

 

[Aman]

Yes that's we're one of the few teams who's actually able to compete away.

 

[Aman]

Haris gets the big wicket. Good catch from Rumman too. Very stupid of Kane. Very stupid.

Kane isn't a big wicket, he was only pushing the run rate up and not even putting the bad balls away.

 

[Aman]

We'll judged catch! This should be game

Nope, we might actually start to bat well now that tuk tuk is out.

 

[Saeed]

Pakistan got this unless the tail wags. Important wicket taken and RRR is over 7 now.

 

[Usman Chadda]

NZ commys talking like NZ have won 4 world cups 3 champ trophys 2 20/20 world cups..

Biased commys at there best... NZ r just ur average team good at home pathetic away from home.

No they are not. Only South Africa have competed better than them in India, like they did recently. Played well throughout the series.

Bangladesh is their kryptonite though lol.

 

[Aman]

32 off 54

 

[Chief Destroyer]

That's a lot of work put in just for that wicket. At least 15 overs of quality.

 

[Pete Rose]

New batsman should hit out a bit to rattle Pakistan.

 

[Iffitheking]

Bye Bye, Shoaib Malik

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Kane isn't a big wicket, he was only pushing the run rate up and not even putting the bad balls away.

He's one of the key batsmen in the NZ side.

Why don't you just acknowledge Pakistan is also bowling well. Is that too hard to do?

 

[shariqnoor]

Kane isn't a big wicket, he was only pushing the run rate up and not even putting the bad balls away.

His presence calms the nerves in the NZ dressing room and alternatively puts pressure on Pakistan. With him gone, the situation reverses. So in that context, it was a big wicket. Plus Kane can up the ante in the later overs. The RRR wasn't an issue. 8 an over they would've fancied themselves in the last 10. However, now the RRR can be an issue if players lose their heads.

 

[Aman]

He's one of the key batsmen in the NZ side.

Why don't you acknowledge he hasn't been batting well? He couldn't hit a boundary in 10 overs. Even the bad balls weren't put away.

Kane for us is not a big wicket, he's a nurdler who compliments the side. The match winners are Guptill, Munro and Taylor.

 

[Square Drive]

Hahahaha brilliant phase of cricket. Almost been awake fr 24 hours straight but well worth it.

 

[style_guru]

You simply cannot let the pressure build on you on such a small ground.
By the way, what happened to Corey Anderson? Of late, I only hear his name during IPL.

I don't think you've watched Kane before. His upping the ante is scoring 10 runs before holing out.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Following the match from college.

Accounts never seemed more boring...

 

[Aman]

Took Colin 3 balls to find a boundary when Master tuk tuk couldn't find one in 10 overs.

He should be MOTM if we lose the match here after the platform the openers gave us.

He's the reason why we're chasing 7 an over, he was batting like a Pakistani batsmen with Nicols.

With his wicket WASP has dropped down to 23%

 

[Aman]

With his wicket WASP has dropped down to 23%

WASAP doesn't take into account the quality of batsmen.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

This is how the 2nd ODI was going as well before the rain came in and ruined Pakistan's chances.

 

[Aman]

This is a flat wicket, Kane and Nicols were just trash.

 

[Azeem Zafar]

Sarfi gets too hard on his bowler, it was a well tried bouncer by hasan. Also it'll be a mistake to continue with haris against grandhomme.

 

[shariqnoor]

Hasan is definitely having an off day.

 

[Aman]

This is how the 2nd ODI was going as well before the rain came in and ruined Pakistan's chances.

You were thrashed, stop crying.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Yaar, Grandma is such a dangerous batsman.

 

[Aman]

This was an easy chase made difficult by the tuk tuk from Kane and Nicols.

It's not difficult to be running 2-4 singles with the odd boundary once you're in.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

One over too much from Haris but the gamble is understandable.

 

[m.shah]

Wow

 

[daytrader]

Should bring in Amir

 

[Aman]

Tuk tuk Nicols

 

[shariqnoor]

That over showed why Kane's was a big wicket. Kane staying there allows Grandhomme to smash with fewer runs to get. Now Grandhomme has to hit out for a bigger period of time.

 

[Aman]

25 (51)

such a limited batsmen.

 

[Aman]

That over showed why Kane's was a big wicket. Kane staying there allows Grandhomme to smash with fewer runs to get. Now Grandhomme has to hit out for a bigger period of time.

If Kane batted 5 more overs we'd need 10 an over.

And Colin goes again.

 

[Aman]

Nicols giving Kane a run for his money for MOTM.

 

[Usman Chadda]

This de Grandhomme looks weak against the pacers. Put Hasan and Amir on at him.

 

[Azeem Zafar]

Bowling spinners against Grandhomme, well done captain.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

You were thrashed, stop crying.

Cut the crap.

The rain came in and totally changed the situation of the match. The pitch was slowing down, meaning the Pakistani spinners would have come into the match (would have been more dangerous with the state of the pitch, the choke would have come into play like today). NZ might have gone onto to win the game, but it wouldn't have been as one-sided as it was.

 

[shariqnoor]

Damn, CDG is a powerhouse.

You were smashed.

Now stop crying.

240 is not defendable in NZ, especially on that wicket. You're just coming up with hypotheticals in which Pakistan can win when the fact is 240 is rubbish score, let alone with NZ only 2 down.

 

[shariqnoor]

If Kane batted 5 more overs we'd need 10 an over.

And Colin goes again.

Nope. They would've needed 8 an over. Do the math. Easy.

 

[Azeem Zafar]

Thats it, the much is done. No game awareness from sarfi, Rumaan would have been a better option with his variations against Grandhomme.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Short. Down the legside. Danish Kaneria would have smacked that for maximum.

Amir has been the disappointment of this tour so far. Moreso than Malik and Babar.

 

[m.shah]

Game done what a hitting

 

[iRfaN_LA]

impressive batting by Grandhomme. NZ batting has some good power hitters who can take the game away from any position.

 

[Madplayer]

Grandhome winning it .what an anti climax for Pak

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Amir trundling and being shown his place.

Come on

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Amir really needs to be dropped, but sadly that CT final performance will keep him on the side for at least another year. Hope the selectors realize dropping him now and asking him to work on his game will be gold for him in the future.

 

[DuckMaster]

Grandhomey ON FIRE

 

[iRfaN_LA]

gamechanger innings. Unless we get two wickets in one over quickly, its over.

 

[Azeem Zafar]

Blame lies on sarfaraz, pathetic bowling changes.

 

[Aman]

Kane and Nicols made this pitch out to be day 5 @ Chennai.

 

[style_guru]

The Required RR was close to 14 a while ago, which has now come down to just 6 an over. This should have been NZ's approach all the way, & not tuk tuk.

 

[Saeed]

Only 66 runs left. Grandhomme turned it around for them with some amazing batting.

 

[shariqnoor]

Amir being put in his place like he should be. His bowling is toothless.

 

[Azeem Zafar]

Wah Wah, this is our captain. Stumping chance missed.

 

[DuckMaster]

Ha Ha Ha Pakistanis are clueless what struck them.

 

[Aman]

The Required RR was close to 14 a while ago, which has now come down to just 6 an over. This should have been NZ's approach all the way, & not tuk tuk.

Kane and Nicols are limited batsmen who are very easy to tie down.
