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

[MoJoJoJo]

both haris n fakhar need to drag the total atleast to 200 to have any chance because you cant just rely on hafeez and malik to score runs..

 

[Sirris]

Lol first 50 runs partnership for the top order, great going guys.

 

[MoJoJoJo]

what so special in this grandehomme guy? he does not have a great record but have best bowling figures of 6 wickets in test against us.. looks like a poor trundler..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Haris running is still lazy

 

[Titan24]

Fahim opening was the most idiotic move ever

It turns out you cant make everyone happy, there were countless number of people wanting it to happen here. It turns out Arthur does read Pakpassion.

 

[Abdullah719]

Malik can do the job in the last few overs, that is if we reach that milestone.

Not if Ferguson is bowling. Or Boult.

Maybe Southee.

Averaging 15 in List A

What do people expect?

 

[Titan24]

Fakhar looks a tail ender imo

And this tailender is the highest scorer for us in NZ in this series.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Goes to show that Haris the batsman we need in tough conditions.

 

[Sirris]

I do feel a bit for the kiwi crowd Pakistan hasn't provided them with quality cricket worth following live.

 

[Rayyman]

Hafeez should come next.

 

[Sirris]

Averaging 15 in List A

What do people expect?

Hindsight is 20/20.

Given the options it was an acceptable move. There is no proper alternative in the current squad. Of course for the future a proper opener must play alongside Fakhar. But Azhar and Imam aren't the ones.

 

[Titan24]

Wasted less balls than Azhar

If they think Faheem can do the job then he should be given atleast 5 matches up the order. Collin Munro is a big example he was a middle order bat most of his life in domestic, they remain giving him chances as an opener even after his failures.

 

[shah_1]

And this tailender is the highest scorer for us in NZ in this series.

He was at the start, mistiming most shots. He needs to really improve his start

 

[Titan24]

Averaging 15 in List A

What do people expect?

And Joes Root averaged 35 in first class when he made his test debut.

 

[Sirris]

Hafeez should come next.

Why are you so eager to see him?

 

[Sirris]

He was at the start, mistiming most shots. He needs to really improve his start

Boy is allowed to be nervous with partners like Azhar and Babar.

 

[Acricfan]

Jheez these commentators are cluless. Scott Styris is 'pleased to see Haris Sohail in the team' as he saw him in the test series 12 months ago. Haris wasn't even there.

 

[Titan24]

He was at the start, mistiming most shots. He needs to really improve his start

Yes this has been part of his game since he debuted in CT 17 but he survives somehow and then unleashes.the beast

 

[shah_1]

Hindsight is 20/20.

Given the options it was an acceptable move. There is no proper alternative in the current squad. Of course for the future a proper opener must play alongside Fakhar. But Azhar and Imam aren't the ones.

It was a predictable result against Boult and Southee.

 

[Rayyman]

Why are you so eager to see him?

He plays well through middle overs against pacers. Especially in 2nd ODI.

When Santner is bowling. I'll say Sarfraz should come.

 

[Sirris]

Haris playing his first match in front of the kiwis and already making them acknowledge his class, while the kiwis have a laugh at our senior players.

 

[shah_1]

Boy is allowed to be nervous with partners like Azhar and Babar.

No, this is happening with him all the time. Needs to improve his shortcoming

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Can't afford to play Kane slowly

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Haris playing his first match in front of the kiwis and already making them acknowledge his class, while the kiwis have a laugh at our senior players.

When I said so you didn't take it they were having a laugh about it and now you're saying the obvious.

 

[Rayyman]

Haris playing his first match in front of the kiwis and already making them acknowledge his class, while the kiwis have a laugh at our senior players.

I hope Haris comes in and scores heavily right away. Just like Amla did.

He's not young so can't afford a few years around the block like Babar can.

 

[Sirris]

When I said so you didn't take it they were having a laugh about it and now you're saying the obvious.

Having a laugh while speaking the truth. I was having a laugh with them.

 

[Titan24]

And TBH haris batting proves cricket is not that rocket science some coaches and selectors here in Pakistan make it out to be.

You need to have technically your best batsmen at 1 down and 2 down positions and unfortunately we werent able to put it over the last few years.

Its not like we dont have them just to give few examples, Haris, Amin and even Talat are technically more equipped then Hafeez to come at 2 down position secondly they give luxury of a left hander in the middle order. Hafeez was a make shift middle order and we were playing him 2 down which requires one of your best batsman.

 

[MoJoJoJo]

Jheez these commentators are cluless. Scott Styris is 'pleased to see Haris Sohail in the team' as he saw him in the test series 12 months ago. Haris wasn't even there.

He might saw his ghost in NZ as haris saw one in 2015

 

[Lynx]

Said it before, Haris is the best bat we have. Babar Azam eat your heart out!

 

[Titan24]

Babar really needs to work hard on his technique on swinging conditions, looked much better in Aus and even got starts in England.

 

[Titan24]

Said it before, Haris is the best bat we have. Babar Azam eat your heart out!

I hope management realizes it and we have him at 2 down position (Thats the most cruical position considering our batting) in all formats. And fingers crossed he remains fit.

 

[MoJoJoJo]

Babar really needs to work hard on his technique on swinging conditions, looked much better in Aus and even got starts in England.

Its much difficult to play in NZ as compare to australia where there arent much sideways movement like we have seen in NZ..

 

[Rayyman]

Said it before, Haris is the best bat we have. Babar Azam eat your heart out!

Babar is good and potentially our best bat, but imo FZ and Hari are better now.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Babar really needs to work hard on his technique on swinging conditions, looked much better in Aus and even got starts in England.

No need to worry about babar. He is still going to be pakistan best batsmen in the future, just going through the pressure of the whole batting line up is on him. Will learn

 

[Saeed]

Fakhar Zaman got 34 runs out of 47 through boundaries. Does he know he is allowed to take 1s and 2s?

 

[Sirris]

Southee averages 33 and we have made him look like McGrath

 

[MoJoJoJo]

babar is actually lacking confidence.. need to get out of the shell and score some runs which em sure will ease his nerves and confidence..

 

[Rayyman]

Fakhar Zaman got 34 runs out of 47 through boundaries. Does he know he is allowed to take 1s and 2s?

Chill he is opener it's okay.

 

[Syed1]

Babar is good and potentially our best bat, but imo FZ and Hari are better now.

Fakhar is our best bat by a country mile and then some.

 

[Syed1]

Shaba fauji apni karne se pehlay out nahi hona...

 

[Rana]

Jeez Harris Sohail is making a lot of us including paid pundits eat their words!

 

[babajee]

How could Mickey keep Haris on the bench so long

 

[Saeed]

Chill he is opener it's okay.

He just doesn’t want to run around. No wonder his strike rate is 74 even after all those boundaries.

 

[Rayyman]

Good **** by Haris.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Waqar is embarrassing.

 

[Abdul]

Magnificent.

 

[Rayyman]

He just doesn’t want to run around. No wonder his strike rate is 74 even after all those boundaries.

Normally does but he is coming off leg injury.

 

[Syed1]

But but but Haris is nothing special.... please listen to me my opinion matters

 

[Pakpak]

Southee averages 33 and we have made him look like McGrath

+1

 

[Rana]

Taken the foot off the gas a bit here

 

[Rayyman]

Taken the foot off the gas a bit here

Should look to accelerate to around 6 an over now

 

[Sirris]

I knew Haris meant business when he ditched his helmet for the cap.

 

[babajee]

Shaba Fakhar... play a long one today

 

[Rana]

Expecting Fakhar to launch Williamson soon

 

[Sirris]

How could Mickey keep Haris on the bench so long

Haris lacks experience hence can't replace either of hafeez or malik.

 

[Syed1]

2 fifties in 3 games for FZ...

 

[Rayyman]

Doesn't like 300 will be enough.

 

[Syed1]

All that talk about Harry's fitness.... he looks fitter than captain.

 

[MoJoJoJo]

how on earth a guy like hafeez was kept in side in place of haris :3

 

[shah_1]

They need to move on

 

[MMHS]

How many here believes inexperienced Hari over experienced MoHa/Malik won't have hampered PAK's chances in CT

 

[shah_1]

Too many dots

 

[Syed1]

how on earth a guy like hafeez was kept in side in place of haris :3

He is still in the side :/

 

[Sirris]

Doesn't like 300 will be enough.

We don't have the batting to even hit 300. These are pretty much our last recognized batting pair.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They're not even able to play these spin twins.

 

[Syed1]

How many here believes inexperienced Hari over experienced MoHa/Malik won't have hampered PAK's chances in CT

Pretty sure we would be atleast 2-1 (2 games to NZ) in this series if Harry had been playing this series

 

[shah_1]

Rotate the strike at least

 

[Rayyman]

We don't have the batting to even hit 300. These are pretty much our last recognized batting pair.

Naa Malik and Hafeez are spin masters.

 

[Rana]

this is the problem with Harris sohail. He is brilliant until 30-40. This is where he should have been just rotating the strike but he is eating up too many dot deliveries now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Even Kane is too much for them

 

[Syed1]

Legstump line bothering them...

 

[Iffitheking]

Need daddy hundred from either of these two players.

 

[Syed1]

Need daddy hundred from either of these two players.

Daddy choro... filhal tou toddler hundred bhi chalaygi

 

[shah_1]

Fakhar being too cautious

 

[Iffitheking]

Harris needs to learn swipe.

 

[Rana]

Need fakhar to hit a few back to back sixes here

 

[QalandarFan]

Legstump line bothering them...

They won’t get them out like this.

 

[shah_1]

Pathetic

 

[coy0607]

Even Kane is too much for them

I think they're just batting with a lot of fear knowing that the collapse is just 1 wicket away
