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

[Saeed]

Shadab should try to hit out after getting his 50, we need Harris to stay.

 

[MMHS]

Yes. Like that has always been the solution.

Ideal solution would have been Sarfraz batting a bit and keep well. I am talking about alternatives.

 

[daytrader]

Well played Haris! Now can he make this one count

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Shadab should try to hit out after getting his 50, we need Harris to stay.

What does his 50 have to do with it.

Both should be hitting now.

This sub-continent milestone mentality is the dirtiest thing ever.

 

[MMHS]

This guy should have been standing on over 5K international runs from 1st April 2011, by now

 

[Pete Rose]

Ideal solution would have been Sarfraz batting a bit and keep well. I am talking about alternatives.

I am pretty sure he will be vc soon.

 

[Smudger]

The should just bat sensibly and get closer. We are still a long way away

 

[Hermoine Green]

Need to accelerate now especially Harris.
We still got this.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Haris fitness is bad i think.

He has always batted like this. A bit like Mohammad Yousaf. Looks very elegant yet lazy whilst batting. He just needs to find a way to increase his endurance. Take it up a notch further. Bat for 100s rather than 50s.

 

[MMHS]

Hari is just a little slow, but rest are excellent for No. 4. Instead of 78 balls, on this ground, at this situation, 52 of 65 was perfect.

But, I think he is playing with a bit fear as well - had he failed twice, Ul Haq might have dropped him from next tour.

 

[waleed88]

I am pretty sure he will be vc soon.

Now that Amir doesn't seem to be the 'enigma' he once was, 99% of PP"ers were convinced he was the chosen one after his performance against India. They were convinced he made it happen. That boat has sailed a long time ago, then it was Imad Wasim until he was exposed as a lower order bat. Now fans look towards Shadab. Wonder how long that will last.

Letting the rate climb beyond 9 won't be sensible.

 

[daytrader]

Doing it right on cue. 2 boundaries in the over

 

[Pete Rose]

good over

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Actually Imad is very good. The problem with Pakistani fans is that the expectations are incredibly unrealistic, same with Indian fans and guys like Kedar Jadhav.

 

[Smudger]

Letting the rate climb beyond 9 won't be sensible.

It is . If we have wickets on hand 9 rpo is achievable

 

[waleed88]

no. thats not how it works. you dont play rubbish batsmen forever, because they are better than batsman who have only played a couple of seasons

I am all for dropping him. Any players who can play to the standard cricket is played today. Chasing 300s at ease?

 

[Saeed]

RRR down to 8.2, couple of 15 plus overs will be of great help.

 

[Madplayer]

Letting the rate climb beyond 9 won't be sensible.

Pakistan have Faheem and Amir yamin today.

 

[Pete Rose]

i am a fan of erasing every vestige of Paksitan's sordid past of under-performance: its past littered with a whole bunch of mediocre players who need to retire. and then you have a team you work with. one not scarred by defeats

 

[waleed88]

Actually Imad is very good. The problem with Pakistani fans is that the expectations are incredibly unrealistic, same with Indian fans and guys like Kedar Jadhav.

Imads off field antics don't inspire alot of confidence. He's already a passenger with a bit part role.

 

[daytrader]

Jee oye Shadab!!

 

[Pete Rose]

I am all for dropping him. Any players who can play to the standard cricket is played today. Chasing 300s at ease?

wont know until we shed this "well he is less rubbish than others" thought process

 

[Madplayer]

Shadab is a serious serious talent i tell you.

 

[MMHS]

166/6 in 30'1 from 40-5, today 160/5 from 60/5 - something needs to be done. If players can't be changed, may be they should change the order - don't mind MoHa, Malik & Sarfraz at 9, 10 & Jack.

 

[MMHS]

Shadab is a serious serious talent i tell you.

He is mentally tough, which keeps him cool under pressure.

 

[Saeed]

Harris out, well there goes the match.

These players exist because a vaccum exists. When there is no one to fill the vaccum these players survive like opportunistic infections. Afridi existed because we were short of lower order bats, when Shadab and Fahim arrived the lower order seems more stable no one misses Afridi at all.

Hasan Ali arrived as a strike bowler in the middle overs, suddenly we didn't need Wahab's filth, the vaccum is gone.

Sharjeel came and our boring boring top order became an exciting one... impressive talent but gone too soon, Fakhar of the same mold removed Shehzad's opportunism.

I am all for overhaul and removal of both Malik and Hafeez, but someone has to announce themselves as a better option, through the PSL or whatever that is required to announce themselves.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Haris gone

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Damn, Haris Sohail has thrown it away

 

[waleed88]

Yamin Ashraf still to bat, am I being over optimistic?

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Bring Yamin in

 

[MMHS]

Last game, Kiwis scored 110/0, in 11 overs starting from 5 down ...

 

[Savak]

Harris Sohail yet again gets out attempting the big shot. He is just not capable of playing them, always gets out attempting them, why does he keep doing the same thing again and again?

 

[jog_1]

That was a good innings, unfortunately he doesn’t have a power game.

 

[waleed88]

100 runs in 13 overs is a decent shot, back in the days Razzaq and Afridi used to do it for us...

Talat?

Middle-order players don't announce themselves in PSL. Though Talat did decently last time and will hopefully do well again.

In T20s, it's mainly the top 3, or 4 who usually make big runs.

 

[TeamPak95]

Don't blame Haris for getting out, had to accelerate eventually. If there is a bowler to target, I felt it would be Santner.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Harris Sohail yet again gets out attempting the big shot. He is just not capable of playing them, always gets out attempting them, why does he keep doing the same thing again and again?

did you see how much that ball gripped in the surface??

This was almost six despite that, no turn and this way going way back

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Is Shadab really 19 years old?!

Guy has a great head on his shoulders, ما شاء الله

 

[daytrader]

That was a good innings, unfortunately he doesn’t have a power game.

It's been hard to hit on this ground plus santner bowled that really slow

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Fakhar
Amin
Babar
Haris
Shadab
Sarfraz
Faheem
Yamin/Talat
Imad
Hassan
Amir

Should be the team moving forward.

 

[waleed88]

In T20s, it's mainly the top 3, or 4 who usually make big runs.

Then I would like to see those top 3-4 do something and then inducted accordingly depending on their acceleration

 

[DRsohail]

bachat..

 

[daytrader]

Fakhar
Amin
Babar
Haris
Shadab
Sarfraz
Faheem
Yamin/Talat
Imad
Hassan
Amir

Should be the team moving forward.

Good line up. I would swap Babar with Haris and Sarfraz with Hassan

 

[jog_1]

Fakhar
Amin
Babar
Haris
Shadab
Sarfraz
Faheem
Yamin/Talat
Imad
Hassan
Amir

Should be the team moving forward.

Get Amin out of there, his skin isn’t made for intl cricket.

 

[Greenstorm]

Shadab gone

 

[Rayyman]

Good. Shadab was struggling.

 

[Mir jibran]

100 of 10 overs needed
Time for faheem to show his worth

 

[ARK Rafay]

Pakistan's future ARs on crease. 10 an overs, should be a piece of cake for New Zealand

 

[TeamPak95]

Faheem and Yamin. I'd say just go guns blazing

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Get Amin out of there, his skin isn’t made for intl cricket.

Yeah I’m sure you know learned enough about him after watching is 13 ODIs in the span of 5 years.

You should become our CS

 

[Madplayer]

Faheem and Yamin. I hope they know only 1 can stay in the team. Hope that pushes them to win it for Pak.

 

[shah_1]

Aamir looks clumsy

 

[Madplayer]

6 by faheem

4 by Aamer yamin

 

[Shafi]

At least Fahim is better than Amir when it comes to contribution

 

[ARK Rafay]

If Faheem stays. He can take us home.

 

[shah_1]

Fahim OUT

 

[Rayyman]

That's a wrap

 

[Greenstorm]

Nawaz and Rumman to come. Should be close

 

[Aman]

Good little fight back from Pakistan but this game was over at 57/5.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

they just had to see santner out
but they cant

 

[Aman]

they just had to see santner out
but they cant

They were not going to chase this anyway lol.

10+ an over at the death is easy if you have wickets in had and reliable power hitters, Pakistan didn't.

 

[Madplayer]

What on earth! They have made this santner into some unplayable bowler. I would tonk him for 8 sixes in an over , but Pakistani batsmen are useless.

 

[Abdullah719]

This tactic of playing tailenders in the top and middle-order sure hasn't paid off.

 

[CanadianG00se]

Thats Game Over for Pakistan


Faheem

 

[ARK Rafay]

Yameen shows power

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Play this order.

Fakhar
Haris
Babar
Sarfraz + *
Shadab
Faheem
Hassan

 

[Aman]

What on earth! They have made this santner into some unplayable bowler. I would tonk him for 8 sixes in an over , but Pakistani batsmen are useless.

He'd probably get you out 6 times in one over.

He bowls tight, mixes his pace and now has a carrom ball.

 

[Aman]

Ugh these tailenders getting a lot of luck.

Getting it closer than any right it has to be be.

Get these two and finish the game.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Nawaz ko halka na lo

 

[Abdullah719]

Who is this guy

 

[Rayyman]

My boy Nawaz is so clutch

 

[Xoib]

If they bat sensibly then can win Nawaz is a genuine top order for his department side.

 

[Xoib]

Ugh these tailenders getting a lot of luck.

Getting it closer than any right it has to be be.

Get these two and finish the game.

Nah all were quality strokes

 

[Belawal2014]

Ugh these tailenders getting a lot of luck.

Getting it closer than any right it has to be be.

Get these two and finish the game.

NZL have had their fair share of luck in this series...

 

[world cup captain]

Staying up for this match has certainly been worth it.

 

[Aman]

NZL have had their fair share of luck in this series...

Like we haven't missed our fair share of chances?

We've probably dropped more catches than Pakistan this series.

 

[Aman]

Pakistan actually still in this.

Stupid bowling when you can just bowl full and make them do the work.

Just impatient bowling from our bowlers.
