New Zealand vs Pakistan | 5th ODI | Wellington | Jan 19, 2018 | New Zealand innings

All the hate that Nawaz gets... he bowling really well
 
Apart from that initial charge, PAK has bowled actually.

Agar tum loug nahee rokogay tou koun rokegaa yaar"

If I was New Zealand and a wicket fell, would send in Grandhomme in to bat to smash it around
 
I've always felt kinda bad for Nawaz. I don't think he's played enough cricket for him to be judged negatively. Maybe I haven't seen much of him but batting wise, we haven't really seen what his play style entails. Bowling wise, he's like Jadeja.
 
I think the commentators said Kane has been batting slower in this series specifically. Probably means he scores more faster than usual, but his role is to support his partners and for them to accelerate easier, like for Taylor, Guptill, De Grandhomme, is it not?
It's because Pakistan have tied him down and teams have identited his go to shot as a weakness (he run down to third man) which he uses to rotate strike.

Look, Pakistan or Asian teams are not used to playing in wind, rain, blustry, cold conditions. This was NZ's biggest advantage. Sure NZ is a good team but not great and Pak will likely do much better in the World Cup. You and the commies need to chill with the hype, the 2015 world cup NZ team was much better.

Btw Isn't your first team India?
 
Nawaz has bowled brilliantly here apart from a couple of loose deliveries down the legside. Shifted the momentum in favour single handedly after those first 5-6 overs. Most posters on here are typical knee jerk reaction types. The guy's played 10 games for crying out loud. That's not a decent enough sample size to judge the true potential of a player.

lmao are you trolling?

Using the weather as an excuse for your sorry performance.
 
Crowd is pretty big. Good to know the home crowd hasn't gotten bored to death so far.
 
Dream scenario... live from April to October in Canada and from October to April in NZ/Aus.... Year round sun

Enjoy the success whilst it lasts bro. Rain, wind and Pakistani incompetence has saved you this series..

Our freaking E grade attack is tying you up into knots.
 
This team looks so much more balanced on paper. All we need is for Sarfraz to come in at 5 and Hafeez at 6, then we're set. Really happy with Umar Amin's inclusion as well.

Yeah and our C team beat your best in the UAE.

Talk so big for a team who has lost 10 straight.

Sorry. 10 straight victories over Pakistan and you’re over the moon.

We have greater expectations :mv
 
Rumman back to give the initiative back to the minnows.

I'm not over the moon, it's just that 10 straight wins over Pakistan. If it were a top team like Aus, SA or India that would be something, but this is Pakistan a team who still plays a dated style of cricket and is below us in the rankings.

1 ODI WC

1 T20 WC

1 Champion's Trophy



What have NZ ever won? Austral-Asia cup??? Bubble gum cup??? :)))s
 
Come back and talk when you win a major tournament :)))

NZ have actually won ICC Knockout trophy in 2000 (It was basically Champions trophy) by beating India in the finals. They actually beat Pakistan in the semis to reach the finals. So yes they have won a major ICC trophy, not a WC but a ICC trophy.
 
How did Faheem not have the awareness that he could have run with the ball!!

NZ doesn't put all its eggs and produce mediocre results.

Those are pathetic results for a country like Pakistan who is cricket mad, you're behind Aus, India and WI despite having the second biggest talent pool to choose from.

What has your modern brand of cricket brought you?

Poor minnows ... *rankings* are a source of pride and honour.
 
That missed run out was a SA style choke by faheem

Yeah easy cop out.... after you were talking so big. Win something before running your mouth otherwise you and BD are the same.
 
Now this is Guptil and he knows he shouldnt be out there. He is going to make them pay hard!
 
If this team wins will that send a message youngsters are here to stay and seniors are to be packed home. I don’t think so, Azhar Ali will open the innings again. Malik and hafeez continue to dominate their presence and not be useful to the team.

We've won 1 less world tournament than you. Pakistan is almost 50x the size of NZ and cricket isn't even a major sport here.
 
Big push is coming from NZ as they have 15 overs left and 8 wickets in hand. They have two well set players in the middle as well.
 
lmao are you trolling?

No excuse, you won the series deservedly. I said it was an advantage, who the heck plays in rain, clouds, windy weather. Cricket is a summer sport.

We will see you in the QF's in the world cup and send you back to the damp Kiwi land.

But you will be an Indian fan then. :)

Whatever size advantage Pakistan has over NZ is negated by our cricket board.

So that’s not valid.
 
numer 1 in tests 2 times...

This is what happens when minnows win a couple of matches on the trot... they begin overestimating themselves. Same happened with BD, same happens with NZ.


These minnow sides never win anything when it matters.

The same side was beaten by bangladesh.but in their own condition they are almost unbeatable.Thats it,
 
Apart from winning test series in aus & sa Mighty pak have achieved everything there is in the game even the under 19s have a few wrld cups under there belt. nz havnt even win a odi series in Ind.

So you should cherish your 10 game winning run.
 
Why aren't Nawaz and Shadab bowling? they were tying knots around the bats
