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

[Rayyman]

Who is the weakest link in tail when it comes to batting?

Rumman and Shadab

 

[Rana]

goodnight guys

we have lost 5-0

 

[Pete Rose]

Babar should bat at no.5 when ball is old and let harris bat there.

In UAE, or when the series result is decided

 

[Saeed]

Malik

So we still got chance because he is not playing.

 

[ManFan]

when did this happen?[/QUOTE
They are online. Just type Umar Akmal goats and it’s the first picture on Google.

 

[srh]

You mean he is out of UAE

so you think he cannot succeed outside of UAE?

 

[Pete Rose]

so you think he cannot succeed outside of UAE?

No, I think he can succeed outside UAE. He just can’t contribute to any wins outside uae/helpful conditions

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Now tuk tuk start. Babar should have attacked henry take him on and see how he responds i hate this tuk tuk tactics sends u think about ur off stump too much.

 

[ManFan]

Like it or not, [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] has been spot on about almost everything in PAK cricket in the last 9 months. That’s how you know things are bad.

 

[Pete Rose]

Southee has bowled two deliveries in the time hafeez finishes with his hook shot

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

The worst part about this series loss is that our selectors and PCB won't learn a dam thing from a series loss.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan again getting into shell and not even hitting hitable balls.

 

[MMHS]

Sorry to see Babar like this. He was excellent in NZ, ENG & AUS than this. Probably those long stay on UAE tracks has regressed his game.

 

[Saeed]

RRR is nearing 6.

 

[Rayyman]

Babar got a beauty tbh. Still disappointed but hope he bounces back in T20.

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez rubs off on whoever he bats with: they start hitting the ball straight to the fielder

 

[Justcrazy]

34 / 3

10 overs

Pakistan staring at a 5 - 0 loss

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Sorry to see Babar like this. He was excellent in NZ, ENG & AUS than this. Probably those long stay on UAE tracks has regressed his game.

We need to come out of UAE. Play series in Aus, Nzl, SA to improve our batsmen techniques. We can't improve until we start playing more outside UAE. Pakistan Players gets settled in Uae pitches which cost us series outside.

 

[Pete Rose]

Babar got a beauty tbh. Still disappointed but hope he bounces back in T20.

No. He got worked over. One short ball, leading to feet planted in cement on next delivery.
But sure if it helps to think that it was a good delivery, why not

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

Babar lacks the hunger to succeed and be a lot more successful. The hunger that the likes of Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Hassan Ali, Shadab Khan etc have.

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan again getting into shell and not even hitting hitable balls.

It’s called the hafeez affect

 

[dauntless]

Time to watch some tennis.Done with this team

 

[shane]

I feel really sorry for the Pakistan fans. The frustration on here is incredible.

But if you are tired of watching this, the good news is that the Eng v. Aus match is starting soon!

 

[Pete Rose]

Ross Taylor vs Hafeez

 

[shokz1408]

Lol putting hafeezs record to shame.

 

[Railu Katta]

Like it or not, [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] has been spot on about almost everything in PAK cricket in the last 9 months. That’s how you know things are bad.

He hasn't been right about anything. He thinks we won 4 games on the trot by fluke but bharat mata jahan never needs luck because they are the best. He thinks kohli is the best cricketer in the world and pujara is the greatest overseas player and pandya is the next coming of sobers. HE ALSO THINKS WE SHOULD WEAR BLACK ARM BANDS ON OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY! That's the real Mamoon.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez 8 dots so far

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Am I the only one who thinks Colin De Granhomme looks like John Locke from LOST?

 

[Rayyman]

No. He got worked over. One short ball, leading to feet planted in cement on next delivery.
But sure if it helps to think that it was a good delivery, why not

So was it not a good delivery?

Sarcasm is okay, but when you have arrogance I don't like it.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Now club level bowler going to dictate terms with our batsmens.

 

[Pete Rose]

The standard pattern of hafeez’s batting is that he imagines himself as a tailender every time he starts his batting

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

Hafeez's ability to hit the ball straight to the fielder is second to none.

 

[Pete Rose]

So was it not a good delivery?

Sarcasm is okay, but when you have arrogance I don't like it.

On balance poor batting considering a 50 avg batsman

 

[Railu Katta]

Hafeez's ability to hit the ball straight to the fielder is second to none.

Shehzad is better.

 

[MMHS]

We need to come out of UAE. Play series in Aus, Nzl, SA to improve our batsmen techniques. We can't improve until we start playing more outside UAE. Pakistan Players gets settled in Uae pitches which cost us series outside.

I think, easier is to change the domestic wickets, which actually are worse than UAE.

 

[Justcrazy]

This two will play selfish knocks to save there own places.

 

[Justcrazy]

after a long time

 

[imshally81]

This two will play selfish knocks to save there own places.

At least... Haris isn't selfish and better than M Hafeez..

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

Shehzad is better.

Both will get a chance to out due one another in the T20s

 

[Pete Rose]

Regular reminder that Hafeez is allowed to bat in this position by captain and coach

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I think, easier is to change the domestic wickets, which actually are worse than UAE.

True.
Who is going to do it. Corrupt PCB chairman who is PMLN choor. Chairman has no interest in Pakistan domestic cricket or to improve it.

Pakistan best chance is to organise more series in Aus, Nzl and SA. Even if it means beg them to let us participate and Tri series.

 

[imshally81]

So Amir Yamin (Some PPers Darling) flop today..

 

[asma_cricfan]

Hes just really been so terrible when the pressure is on

The guy really cannot play against a quality attack, a high intensity match or a high pressure run chase.


Babar is not even an FTB

Excluding last line, I thought you're talking about umar akmal.

 

[Saeed]

Shot and for Sohail. We have to bring our run rate up, tuk tuking won’t get us any closer to the target.

 

[imshally81]

What happens with Babar....

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez playing slow again.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

What happens with Babar....

Ho jata yaar. Cricket hai.

 

[imshally81]

Required Run Rate is already... 6.0 runs per over

 

[Justcrazy]

up for Pakistan

 

[Pete Rose]

What happens with Babar....

Non-UAE conditions

 

[Saeed]

Four for Tailender Hafeez too.

 

[imshally81]

Ho jata yaar. Cricket hai.

But 5 matches in a row....?

 

[DRsohail]

Hafeez ye teri bus k baat nahi awqat ma raho.

 

[MMHS]

Aussies are batting first again. I think, they have taken that 180 as a fluke and backing their pacers to defend under lights at Gabba.

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

Hafeez playing slow again.

It's an art to get selected again for next series

 

[Saeed]

Hafeez hits one four and blocks rest of the over. What is the strategy behind this kind batting?

 

[imshally81]

as expected

 

[lahoriyah1234]

But 5 matches in a row....?

Fair point, But we dont have any better replacement give him 6 months more. He is still good batsmen, but i think he should bat no.5. I think he is finding difficult to take the 1 down pressure.

 

[MMHS]

Hafeez ye teri bus k baat nahi awqat ma raho.

That drive on the rise was indeed Mazid like though. He has God gifted timing, but very little defense and smaller heart.

 

[shah_1]

Flop Hafeez

 

[Justcrazy]

four down

 

[DRsohail]

Aother talinder comes after the one gets out.

 

[volcyz]

Hafeez out lol

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

After threatening to take away the game from NZ with his blistering batting; Hafeez departs.

 

[Pete Rose]

Chalo, one silver lining

 

[Pete Rose]

Sarfaraz should have come in before hafeez

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez fails again.

 

[TeamPak95]

Hafeez out Didn't this guy average mid 40s in 2010-2014?

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez out Didn't this guy average mid 40s in 2010-2014?

Most folks know to look beyond overall figures to see against which conditions and what opposition that 40 was achieved

 

[Fahdi]

Hopefully with Sarfraz the scoreboard will keep ticking along.

 

[MMHS]

Hafeez out Didn't this guy average mid 40s in 2010-2014?

He is averaging 40 in this series as well - lekin farak hai.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sohail looks better in alien conditions than Babaar , more composed.

 

[ManFan]

Haris is in a lose-lose situation. He can tuk-tuk to a 50 and be criticised for slow S/R when others around can’t last a couple of balls. Or he can bat at a healthy S/R and lose his wicket in the process of trying to reach the target and be held responsible for a useless score. Sad to see. But I’m sure Mian Malik would have scored 92(65), right?

Well that would almost overtake his overall run-tally in NZ.

It currently stands at 94 runs in 170 balls at an average of 10.44.

Long shot...

 

[ManFan]

It currently stands at 94 runs in 170 balls at an average of 10.44.

And we have people asking B. Azam to be dropped after failing in 1 series since his debut.

 

[DRsohail]

Apni awqat ma raho bhai.

 

[shah_1]

Another wicket

 

[Smudger]

Sarfaraz got out doing the right thing

 

[TeamPak95]

Most folks know to look beyond overall figures to see against which conditions and what opposition that 40 was achieved

Well, considering Hafeez plays for Pakistan, regardless of the conditions and oppositions, for him to average mid 40s for a period of time was fantastic (by Pak batting standards). Now, it's plummeted to 32 and even by Pak standards that's unacceptable.
