NZ Board President's XI v Pakistanis | Tour Match | January 27, 2015 | Lincoln

[godzilla]

38-3 off 8.2 against a club side. wow.

 

[Professor]

Can we replace YK in the WC.

I think he has to be injured if he is to be replaced in the squad.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez failure..

 

[Professor]

Hope Maqsood and Harris can both score big and cement their place.

 

[Suleiman]

Failure for Sarfraz again. Really need him performing, don't know how Akmal will do as wk + batsman, it's been a couple months since he's done that at this level.

Classic YK as usual.

Hafeez got out too, but at least he tried to push on, instead of try to play a 9 off 19 knock like he does overseas. If he can sort himself out in this NZ series, we'd have a decent opening pair, with Hafeez as aggressor and Shehzad as accumulator. They'd need to sort their horrible running though like last match.

 

[godzilla]

i wonder when misbah comes in at 45-4 the usual idiots will be complaining about his strike rate.

 

[emranabbas]

38-3 off 8.2 against a club side. wow.

apparently its ok in a practice matchs vs club bowlers

 

[Bullet Drive]

Get rid of YK & Hafeez!

 

[Bullet Drive]

39-3.

come on boys.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hope we send Umar next. How is he batting so low

Why push Sarf to open??? Why not try Umar as opener.

 

[vandokkum]

these guys are club level cricketers...

 

[hazan]

40/3 in 10 overs against luloo team. great going

 

[usmaneeyat]

we will be fine against nz trust me. Pakistan like to make lulloos look like superstars.

 

[Bullet Drive]

42-3. Come on boys

 

[emranabbas]

when will ehsan adil bowl?

 

[Bullet Drive]

I'm not even worried about this....... but it will be the same in real games because YK is rubbish.

 

[GreenKhan]

Hafeez as an opener is not a good idea. He averages 27 or something, and then asking him to open in these conditions is worse. Top order batting is a big worry.

We also needed a left right combo at the top, and Jamshed would have been a decent option.
Hope sarfaraz can find his form. These are the players we have so lets back them, but with younis failing Maqsood and akmal need to fire and make the selectors drop Younis khan, if he continues failing.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Is Adil really playing for them????! I think its an error.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

New Zealand have the best most talented domestic players in the world [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] [MENTION=68271]NZcricketfan[/MENTION] [MENTION=95766]leatherface58[/MENTION]

No team can stand against them

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good batting by both... Keep it up lads.... 44-3.... hope both make tons.

NZ national team would be similar, even worse against one of our teams.

So what does that make your national team that lost to NZ in UAE ?

 

[ImranFarhatFan]

Sohail and Maqsood at 4/5 while Umar Akmal is at 7, what a joke

 

[Bullet Drive]

53-3.

 

[NZcricketfan]

I have watched your domestic cricket. The fielding is absolutely horrendous.

 

[Bullet Drive]

So what does that make your national team that lost to NZ in UAE ?

YK was playing for us. I don't take that result seriously.

 

[Ottoman]

2nd higest score - - Extras 15

 

[hazan]

5 wides? ball must be swinging a lot

 

[NZcricketfan]

5 wides? ball must be swinging a lot

You are playing club cricketers.

 

[Ottoman]

Misbah In -- Smae old story folks.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Who needs Trent Boult when you have Logan Van Beek??

 

[vandokkum]

YK was playing for us. I don't take that result seriously.

You really have it in for that guy

 

[hazan]

another one bites the dust. I hope they will start over this match again

 

[NZcricketfan]

Who needs Trent Boult when you have Logan Van Beek??

the guy who struggles to get NZ domestic batsmen out?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar in...

 

[Donal Cozzie]

the guy who struggles to get NZ domestic batsmen out?

There's so much raw talent in that team my laptop is overheating whenever I click the scorecard.

 

[Ottoman]

Same old Story

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 failures for YK.

4 games to go before Ind.

Hopefully 4 more ducks.

 

[Theo_14]

This is quite emberassing even if it is a friendly.

 

[NZcricketfan]

6 off 25 balls. Misbah isn't even that bad

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rather get all the losses out of the way now...... good timing guys. Dont wanna peak too soon.

 

[badsha001]

Harris Sohail gone... Seems like he is seeing ghost in a bowler or something...

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hope Adil gives Maqsood some runs man.

Umar Akmal struggles vs Adil.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adil gives Maqsood 2 fours. lol

 

[Ahson8]

Don't worry guys, Ehsan Adil will help us win the game

 

[amoni]

Looks like an arrangment was made to have Ehsan Adil bowl for the President's X1 to get more match practice.

First over - gives up 8 runs, 2 4's. LOOOOOL

 

[Bullet Drive]

16 off 18 for Maqsood.

 

[TNA]

Pakistani bowlers are leaking runs no matter what side they play on

 

[amoni]

Adil being outbowled by a bunch of kids.

Perfect example of the state of Pakistani bowling at the moment. Our attack is arguably the worst out of all the test playing countries now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ehsan is such a top bloke.

 

[TNA]

Looks like an arrangment was made to have Ehsan Adil bowl for the President's X1 to get more match practice.

Yeah our batters and bowlers getting match practice at the same time in the same innings

In this age of innovation there's hardly any innovation. NZ cricket should be applauded for this.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Ehsan is such a top bloke.

Needing help from one of your own bowlers to beat a bunch of club cricketers is embarrassing

 

[emranabbas]

this is fixed

 

[Ottoman]

Needing help from one of your own bowlers to beat a bunch of club cricketers is embarrassing

Can we ask every team to include one of our bowler in every match. LOL

 

[godzilla]

Get rid of YK & Hafeez!

now that sohail and sarfraz have failed too, i suppose youd want to drop them too? how can you even see where you are going with all that egg on your face?

 

[Ottoman]

Extras - - 2nd highest again

 

[TNA]

Sohaib Maqsood has done more than enough to merit a place in the side ahead of Younis in the first ODI

but lets see if common sense really prevails.

 

[emranabbas]

ehsan going 8 an over while other are under 5

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adil thank u man!

 

[Bullet Drive]

now that sohail and sarfraz have failed too, i suppose youd want to drop them too? how can you even see where you are going with all that egg on your face?

YK fan? LOL. Ok. Say no more.

 

[godzilla]

ehsan going 8 an over while other are under 5

look on the bright side, at least its not wahab and 10rpo.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adil getting smashed

 

[NZcricketfan]

look on the bright side, at least its not wahab and 10rpo.

Wahab was actually your best fast bowler last game. This trundler playing for us now was horrible

 

[godzilla]

YK fan? LOL. Ok. Say no more.

not as an odi player. but your commentary is worse than a four year olds.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Before u act all crazy upon Adil, it is like taking a NZ spinner e.g. Craig & Sodhi to a PAK club game. I am sure the spinners their would out perform them.

 

[godzilla]

Wahab was actually your best fast bowler last game. This trundler playing for us now was horrible

agreed. but its really a case of 6 of one and half a dozen of another isnt it?

 

[hazan]

Needing help from one of your own bowlers to beat a bunch of club cricketers is embarrassing

Yes and it would be more embarrassing if we don't beat them

 

[NZcricketfan]

Before u act all crazy upon Adil, it is like taking a NZ spinner e.g. Craig & Sodhi to a PAK club game. I am sure the spinners their would out perform them.

But this guy is the future of your pace attack. They aren't

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good comeback by Adil.

 

[NZcricketfan]

look at the top story on our news website.

 

[TNA]

Its also a wonderful opportunity for Ehsan Adil to learn from these legendary NZ domestic bowlers. Learn their skills of the trade from bowlers who have played their whole life on NZ pitches!

 

[Ottoman]

Now 5

 

[Anchorman]

We'll be bundled out for under 150.

Only van beek is a domestic bowler. The rest are club cricketers

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adil the only man wicketless.

It take some time to adjust to such conditions.

 

[TNA]

Only van beek is a domestic bowler. The rest are club cricketers

The skill level is all relative. I mean how can a club cricketer get one of the best test playing cricketer back to back so easily?

Still there is atleast something to be learned from these bowlers guidance. They must be doing something right for gods sake!

 

[Swanny]

This beek guy has been involved in 4 out of 5 wickets so far

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar and Misbah back to repair once more....

 

[Bullet Drive]

Its all a learning curve.......... just pray to Allah we will do better on big stage.

I'm not too hurt about this tbh.........
