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

[iRfaN_LA]

even luck is not on our side.

 

[shariqnoor]

Sarfraz can't shout at himself?

 

[Aman]

This is more like what I expected.

That rubbish from Kane and Nicols made this closer than it had any right to be after the platform the openers had given them.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Grand Home blew Pakistan away

 

[Azeem Zafar]

Amir I have now idea why I am wasting my time on this ugly team's performance.

 

[Madplayer]

I havent seen a game turn around so quickly lol

 

[iRfaN_LA]

amir has been pathetic. No swing whatsoever.

 

[Nitya85]

Grandhome taking Kiwis home

 

[shariqnoor]

On this ground you can't even defend 90 off the last 10. Wickets were the only way. Kane and Nichols were right in approaching the target they were.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

guy is a beast. credit to him. Stunning batting.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Monster hit.. Wow

 

[Nitya85]

So someone is saying Grandhome cant hit Pacers..lol

 

[style_guru]

I know this is a miniature ground, but still, this Grandhomme guy is a brutal hitter of the ball.

 

[Nitya85]

Grandhome 50 of 25 wow

 

[dravidthewall]

What an turn around...pakistan shuld take grand home as soon

 

[shariqnoor]

Pakistan needs a hattrick now.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

That's some grand phainta

 

[dravidthewall]

Grand home 200 strikerate

 

[Nitya85]

Pakistan looking clueless against grandhome
They jus need one wicket

 

[iRfaN_LA]

thankfully i only wasted 2 hours of my day.

 

[Aman]

Those are sixes on any ground.

 

[dravidthewall]

Grandpa giving epic phainty lol

 

[Azeem Zafar]

So someone is saying Grandhome cant hit Pacers..lol

The guy is an excellent hitter of the ball and he's settled now. it was a big mistake to bowl haris upfornt to him, hasan can skid the ball into him but he hasn't bowled a single one against him yet. Blame lied on Sarfaraz for this, he had no plans to counter him at all.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Pakistan looking clueless against grandhome
They jus needED one wicket

too late now.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Commies said Grandhome can change the match in 20 minutes. Lol.. He took only half of that

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan looking clueless against grandhome
They jus need one wicket

This rubbish batsmen could hardly touch the ball in India, here he is killing our clueless bowlers.

 

[Sarwar89]

A weakness has been found out in Pakistan's attack. Just very recently Liverpool found out Weakness in Manchester City. That is attack them and get them under their skin.

Believe it or not it was all started by Nurse of West Indies when he chased down 300 plus in one dayer last year
It was followed by Hardik Pandya on 2 occasions and on both times, Sarfaraz looked clueless. Luck favored him he was run out.
And Colin De Grandhomme tormented Pakistan in Test series last year is doing it again (with bat this time) That is do not show them respect just smash them and Sarfaraz will lose his kool.

 

[AAli98]

Meaningless billaterals -meaningless dead rubber nothing riding on these games/series..home teams garunteed wins.

Just have a icc tourney every 6 months at least the fans get involved in that. Game will be dead in a few years if this continues.

 

[DuckMaster]

One over too many for Haris Sohail I guess.

 

[style_guru]

This is the time when champion bowlers stand out & win matches for their teams. Looks like Amir only lifts his game when he is facing Tailunt Sharma or Kohli. For the rest of them, he is meh.

 

[shaaik]

This rubbish batsmen could hardly touch the ball in India, here he is killing our clueless bowlers.

Absolutely my take as well. He cost his team a one day series in India ..

 

[Nitya85]

Ya Pakistan should have straight away attacked Grandhome
They allowed him to settled with spinners
Big Mistake by sarfaraz
One wrong decision by Captain can make or brake the game

 

[Chief Destroyer]

This rubbish batsmen could hardly touch the ball in India, here he is killing our clueless bowlers.

These are his home conditions. Ball turns in India. He's not a good player of turn.

 

[Shafi]

Its time to drop Non performer like Amir as well. He is becoming a burden to our team and nothing to offer

 

[shariqnoor]

In India, it was Bumrah and Bhuvi bowling to him - two best death bowlers in the world. Here he is being fed Amir, Rumman and Haris.

 

[Madplayer]

What has happened to Hasan Ali?

 

[Nitya85]

This is the time when champion bowlers stand out & win matches for their teams. Looks like Amir only lifts his game when he is facing Tailunt Sharma or Kohli. For the rest of them, he is meh.

Ya he lacked motivation when he play against other teams

 

[Shafi]

Aamer Yamin should replace Amir!!!!!!!

 

[style_guru]

Hasan Ali was seen holding his groin early in the inning. Should he still be out bowling, if he is carrying a niggle?

 

[Aman]

We need to sure up our middle order, we cannot afford to have Kane, Latham or Nicols batting together. We're not going to get out of it like we did today.

 

[Sarwar89]

Ya Pakistan should have straight away attacked Grandhome
They allowed him to settled with spinners
Big Mistake by sarfaraz

Did not he allow Hardik Pandya to settle down in final ? Sarfaraz is more of a lucky captain to be honest.

 

[Aman]

Colin

 

[Aman]

68 (36) and still going.

The match is going to come to a tame ending.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Haha.. Sarfaraz has stopped shouting on his fielders

 

[Aman]

Colin on

 

[Nitya85]

Partnership 103 runs in 38 min
Incrdible

 

[IAJ]

These are his home conditions. Ball turns in India. He's not a good player of turn.

Yeah Bumrah was bowling amazing doosras.

 

[Shafi]

Aamir Yamin should replace Amir who has nothing to offer

 

[Aman]

4-0.

Clean sweep is on.

 

[Savak]

Haha.. Sarfaraz has stopped shouting on his fielders

Gives up in the face of adversity, a mostly on top captain who barks when things are going well but drops his shoulders in big pressure moments

 

[IAJ]

4-0.

Clean sweep is on.

Well deserved.

 

[Shafi]

Told you!!! We will loose this series by 8-0

 

[DuckMaster]

What an assault by De Grandhomme... fabulous.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Gives up in the face of adversity, a mostly on top captain who barks when things are going well but drops his shoulders in big pressure moments

Exactly

 

[Aman]

Well deserved.

Not happy with what happened in the middle.

The chink is there for other teams to exploit, I fear it will prove costly come the real games.

 

[style_guru]

Hasan Ali has been belted tonight. I feel he is carrying a crooked groin & must not have been bowling. The management of Pak team seems like having no clue.

 

[Nitya85]

Pakistan need a complete overhaul of ths ODI setup
Need to take some tough decisions
Cant compete against top teams with ths team

 

[IAJ]

Kiwis will allways be a force at home, no matter who they play. A bit like Bangladesh. But teams like England and India will give them tough competition even here.

 

[Lynx]

This series will do nothing for us even if we lose 5-0 (which we will). Hafeez has already claimed his place in the next series by performing in a dead rubber...something we all knew he would do. Now Malik will probably be out of the next game and claim he got injured so he won't lose his place. Sigh.

 

[Sadevdesai]

50 runs in the last 5 overs !!!!!!

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Kiwis will allways be a force at home, no matter who they play. A bit like Bangladesh. But teams like England and India will give them tough competition even here.

Lol.. Bangladesh is a minnow team even at home

 

[Aman]

Nah, I mean't the batting. Kane and Nicols were so easy to tie down when there was zero demons in the pitch. Simply not good enough and happens far too frequently to be considered a one off. On another occassion it would have proved costly, you can't rely on Colin to always bail you out.

People might hate on Pakistan's bowling but its Pakistan's batting which has lost them every single match on this tour. Ofcourse the way bowling wilted after grandhomme attack is also pathetic but by and large the responsibility of failure falls on the inept batting. 262 on this micky mouse ground was never going to be enough. 1 innings could have changed it and it did.

 

[Aman]

Where has the guy who brought up rain for the second ODI gone?

262 just chased with 5 wickets and 5 overs left.

 

[GrandMaster]

Pakistan bowling unit is quite over rated.

[style_guru]

I sense that the previous Kiwi captain Big Mac was an over aggressive batsman, while Kane is slowly getting in the tuk tuk category. Is captaincy bothering Williamson? Should he be relieved of that burden, so that he could focus on his batting? Not an appropriate thread to discuss this but simply put my thoughts out.

It was really a poor innings which got the team into trouble.

Surely it's not difficult for modern batsmen to go at 5+ an over easy with singles and the odd boundary?
