Made me chuckle. Refereshimg smile after face palming Pakistans batting for a few hours.

 

[Ottoman]

Another gone

 

[Aman]

The two century makers from the last game out, lets see what the rest can do.

The total isn't too difficult.

 

[razabbas]

Another gone

Scorecard link ?

Its a trade for Adam Milne. Adil has great trundling qualities perfect for NZ.

 

[Ottoman]

Both Century makers gone now.

 

[Aman]

Adil fits in nicely with these club cricketers

 

[menace2society]

Irfan - 3 overs - 6 runs - 1 wicket

He will be one to watch this WC.

God no. The only pakistani player I'd make a trade for is irfan

how quickly the switch from the game meaning nothing is made lol

Against batsmen who can't even get into a NZ domestic side?

Can you confirm if these are drop-in pitches where they are playing these 2 tour matches?

 

[FreeBird]

I hope Pakistan doesn't win this or else, YK's performance will be camouflaged in the, you know... "victory celebration"

 

[NZcricketfan]

Shouldn't be. The lincoln ground is purposely built for cricket.

Nicholls is playing FC and having a very good season actually before scoring that 100 against pak in last match he also got 178 in List A match his last few LA scores are

178
89
60
45

Looks like a real deal for NZ and they are having this opener issue so maybe in upcoming years we will see him.

Good on him, point still stands, I thought everyone agreed these matches and performances mean nothing. Let's see how everyone does in the odis.

The middle order should be rolled over. Only under 19 cricket experience to speak of

All the pressure off rubbish bowling by Sohail Khan 11 runs in first over when the opposition was under some pressure after losing 2 early wickets

 

[yasir]

Sohail Khan is big disappointment, pressure created by Irfan and Bhatti and he give away 11 in first over. Did selectors really made big mistake here or what? - I was hoping for s nice surprise, but this guys is....

Don't understand how he could make the team.

[Suleiman]

LOL Bhatti trolling ppers big time.

Some even said Tanvir would've been a better option than him.

But damn this Sohail Khan seems mediocre. Got in the team on the back of 2 flukey 5fers. Sami would've been a much better bet. Has pace, and has been decent in ODIs. PCB confusing formats as usual.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Lets see if Yasir can get some turn and bounce ...

 

[NZcricketfan]

Junaid would play. Younis khan could fail in every match before the world cup but he will still make it into the first 11

 

[Strike Rate]

what if bhatti performs in both odi' s

than the bowling attack will be Irfan/Junaid/Bhatti/Afridi and Haris/Shehzad or Hafeez if cleared

That will make a very good batting and bowling lineup Afridi at 8 and Bhatti coming at 9

I will drop Wahab he is a spray gun and can't have 3 left arm seamers we need variety

Hafeez
Shehzad
Younus / Sohaib
Haris
Misbah
Umar
Safraz
Afridi
Bhatti
Junaid
Irfan

 

[Laal]

A lot to say but not much to show. Pack up his bags and send him back to first-class.

 

[NZcricketfan]

A defensive spinner like afridi will always be a better choice than yasir in our conditions

 

[Strike Rate]

i will even play 2 leg spinners against teams like Aus/WI and NZ if Irfan and Junaid are available and other seamers fail in odi series and in warm ups.

I would like to give Yasir a chance against minnows too

You just want a spinner who can hold down an end at say 4 an over. Even players like narine and herath have been taken to here because you don't get any spin

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Lets hope Yasir Shah does not turn out to be another Iqbal Sikander ....

can they drop a player without any injury?

You can always create fake injuries ICC don't investigate them

 

[Mir jibran]

Sohail khan gets a wkt

thats why leg spinners are different they can take wickets and generate turn even on pitches without any turn on offer for off spinners.

 

[Mir jibran]

lets see what happens ? meanwhile sohail takes a wkt

 

[Ottoman]

4 down now

 

[NZcricketfan]

4 down now

Bound to happen. The top order is alright but this middle order is ridiculous

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Yasir Shah can be a handful if he get some bounce in Aus/NZ

 

[Asif321]

these practice games performance mean nothing, who ever does well here likely to fail in main tournament

 

[NZcricketfan]

Younis khan double century in the world cup then?

 

[Mir jibran]

so u are an astrologer?

 

[Mir jibran]

How is hafeez bowling ?

 

[NZcricketfan]

How is hafeez bowling ?

He is only banned from international cricket

 

[Mir jibran]

He is only banned from international cricket

oh ya thanks for reminding

 

[X-factor]

Even if thats the case, whats the point if cant bowl in the matches that count? This is practise match to prepare for world cup, not a be all end all.

 

[Strike Rate]

Why didn't Hafeez bowled in last match but bowling today

 

[Laal]

these practice games performance mean nothing, who ever does well here likely to fail in main tournament

Is that a general rule? If so, how?

 

[Ottoman]

How come Hafeez bowling, Isn't he banned?

 

[Asif321]

Is that a general rule? If so, how?

Going by History

 

[Couch Cricketer]

How come Hafeez bowling, Isn't he banned?

He is expecting to be cleared on 6th so getting in some overs. Would have loved to see if his action is different from before. With the new test center giving the report in 4-5 days. He should get cleared before 1st match vs India.

 

[todfod 11]

Can anyone tell me the score so far

 

[m.shah]

131/4

India will never allowed this to happen

 

[vandokkum]

Pakistan will win this by 100 plus runs

 

[NZcricketfan]

Pakistan will win this by 100 plus runs

they are going to lose 6 wickets for less than 33 then on this pitch?

 

[Sam18696]

Again, the batting is heavily dependant on Misbah. I thought we were over that.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Misbah in fine form.

Younis khan in well....his career form.

 

[vandokkum]

they are going to lose 6 wickets for less than 33 then on this pitch?

Anything is possible for Misbah, have faith

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Is there a Power Play in these matches?

If so, NZ could practically still win.

 

[m.shah]

152/5

 

[NZcricketfan]

Hundred for pollard.

 

[Mir jibran]

bhatti gets another

 

[adnan yasin]

162/5

106 needed from 13.5 overs

 

[pakcric007]

I hope Pakistan wins today

 

[Strike Rate]

Yes and the PP is in progress at the moment

 

[Sadevdesai]

Pollock can be the difference .... any side can win from here.

 

[adnan yasin]

PRESIDENT'S XI require 100 runs from 13.0 overs at 7.69 per over

 

[NZcricketfan]

Moral victory. Can't lose by 100

 

[adnan yasin]

Hafeez should not have bowled but i think Pakistan management is pretty sure that hafeez will be cleared for the world cup so they are giving him some practice

 

[adnan yasin]

How much younis khan scored in the last game ??

 

[adnan yasin]

PRESIDENT'S XI require 92 runs from 11.0 overs at 8.36 per over

 

[adnan yasin]

1

He really need to be in runs.... otherwise it will be a tough call for pakistan...as sohaib, umar and haris are good choice and can play together.

 

[NZcricketfan]

looks like they are going to play out irfan and target the others
