NZ-PAK-BD Tri-series | Bangladesh v Pakistan | Christchurch | 7 October 2022 | Pakistan innings

[Shafi]

Babar is Pakistani Hashim Amla.

Lots of runs but no impact.

Hasim Amla? Hasim is way ahead of Babar.

 

[Suleiman]

Babar is Pakistani Hashim Amla.

Lots of runs but no impact.

To his credit, Amla actually had some firework innings in t20s. Babar’s t20 and ODI cricket is the same.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

3 slow starters in T20 as top 3

 

[bounced]

Thank You

 

[ChTab]

Babar out & another T20 Specialist "Shan Masood" walks in

 

[Shafi]

Are they really playing T20? Looks like test match.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

To be honest, ranking doesn't mean much in T20.

Sri Lanka are ranked 8th and yet they won the Asia Cup.

That was a fluke, do you think they will against Ind/ Eng/ Aus/ SA/ NZ in a 5 match t20 series ?

 

[sweep_shot]

I feel like Nawaz should open.

Narine often opens in T20 leagues and he often does a good job.

 

[TeamPak95]

Good lord Shan

 

[Suleiman]

Time for Shan to hit a 50 at 100 SR.

 

[sweep_shot]

That was a fluke, do you think they will against Ind/ Eng/ Aus/ SA/ NZ in a 5 match t20 series ?

Fluke?

They beat India once and Pakistan twice.

One game can be fluke. Not three.

 

[ChTab]

Babar is Pakistani Hashim Amla.

Lots of runs but no impact.

Hashim Amla way ahead of this clown.
Babar is poor man's Amla

 

[imshally81]

Shan.. What are you doing?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Shan 1 off 8 balls

 

[sweep_shot]

Shan seems to be struggling.

 

[msb314]

Ridiculous

 

[imshally81]

Finally boundary by Shan

 

[ChTab]

Hope Fakhar can come back so we don't have to watch Shan play for Pakistan

 

[Shafi]

Seems like more matches our team play the worse they will become. In World Cup we may loose all the matches

 

[TeamPak95]

Ayo Masood relax, too fast for my liking.

 

[ChTab]

Shan The T20 Specialist 1 from 6 just amazing

 

[ZaidTR]

Playing test match

 

[JilaWatan]

Give me sharjeel and azam Khan. We lack power hitter so baddd

 

[TeamPak95]

I sense Rizwan getting out here trying to make up for Masood slowness.

 

[Justcrazy]

60 .1

Pakistan playing like Pakistan

 

[ChTab]

Shan is without any doubt worst player to play all 3 formats for Pakistan.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 60/1 (9 overs).

Still quite cautious.

 

[imshally81]

Six by Masood

 

[light]

This is terrible batting. If you can't hit for a boundary, take a single and move on. Why waste balls like this ...

 

[ChTab]

60/1 after 9 overs. Just 11 more overs to go then we can start scoring some runs in session 2

 

[Justcrazy]

Hope Fakhar can come back so we don't have to watch Shan play for Pakistan

He averages 21 and strike rate of 129

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wow that was a drag down. Rizwan should have put that away.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Rizwan will hit a pretty 50 and his supporters will go Gaga again.

 

[sweep_shot]

71/1 (10 overs).

 

[Justcrazy]

This is terrible batting. If you can't hit for a boundary, take a single and move on. Why waste balls like this ...

They lack technique to hot those shots , look at the way Miller and Suryakumar played , can these batsmen even play those shots in dreams ?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

10 overs 70/1

Why not target 85/3, you have so much batting left, it's just a T20 game not 50 overs to preserve wickets.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Fluke?

They beat India once and Pakistan twice.

One game can be fluke. Not three.

In that series India fielded a B team which was further depleted by covid and India was forced to play just 4 batsmen in the 2 t20s. I dont think SL have it in them to defeat a full strength India team in bilaterals. In multi-team events yes if they have a good day like in asia cup.

 

[ChTab]

He averages 21 and strike rate of 129

ATM anyone is better than Shan.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Haven't seen much of Rizwan really. Watching it. I think he should absolutely destroy anything off length. He missed 3 or 4 opportunities. He should look at Warner who would take singles, twos. When you miss your mark he will make sure you pay.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

The best thing Rizwan can do his "play his safe shots" while others try different stuff.

He knows he will score his 50 in 15 overs and become saviour of Pakistan.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need proper white ball coach , this way they will acheive nothing

 

[SamNJ]

Even Haris and Dahani can hit a few sixes in this ground against these bowlers. Why are they being preserved unless it is a practice match and batters want time in the middle.

 

[Justcrazy]

10 overs 70/1

Why not target 85/3, you have so much batting left, it's just a T20 game not 50 overs to preserve wickets.

Because they do not think out of box , they are not flexible , the coaches they have are just to make money and go on holiday

 

[Justcrazy]

ATM anyone is better than Shan.

Then bring back Kamran Akmal

 

[ChTab]

Then bring back Kamran Akmal

Kamran was 10 times the player Shan will ever be.

 

[Justcrazy]

Haven't seen much of Rizwan really. Watching it. I think he should absolutely destroy anything off length. He missed 3 or 4 opportunities. He should look at Warner who would take singles, twos. When you miss your mark he will make sure you pay.

Warner is miles ahead of Rizwan , Warner is high impact player , when he plays 50 balls Aussies will win 95 % times.

 

[heddie19]

To his credit, Amla actually had some firework innings in t20s. Babar’s t20 and ODI cricket is the same.

Oh God. What do you shove in your eyes when Babar plays at 200+ SR in a 200+ run chase?

 

[Justcrazy]

Kamran was 10 times the player Shan will ever be.

21 average and with strike rate of 119 )

 

[Anis Shivani]

Is this really for real?
Boycott these losers.
Motoring along nicely at 160 pace--if that.
The Babar Azam fairytale is about to conclude in a month's time.
Neither one of them is an opener.
I hope BD thrash them.
I'm not watching these losers.

 

[msb314]

What is frustrating is how much tuk tuk Rizwan has become

 

[Justcrazy]

Oh God. What do you shove in your eyes when Babar plays at 200+ SR in a 200+ run chase?

Babar cannot do that , he is different kind of player.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Oh God. What do you shove in your eyes when Babar plays at 200+ SR in a 200+ run chase?

We look at the team England fielded.

And we look at the type of tournament.

And Babars impact at end of tournament.

Answer please.

 

[msb314]

Shan doing good so far

 

[SamNJ]

Although some poor bowling but Shan is now really enjoying batting here. True bounce surface.

 

[ChTab]

21 average and with strike rate of 119 )

What has Shan done in last 10 years for Pakistan?

 

[zacattakk]

Masood at least showing more intent than Babar did

 

[Anis Shivani]

I think part of their fake appeal is that Pakistan is so traumatized by early loss of openers in other formats that they've made some fans think that 80 for 0 after 12 overs is fine, because loss of no wickets looks good. But it's actually the worst thing you could do in this format. It's just a con job on the part of Babar and Rizwan.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Shan Masood start sure was ugly but he's turned it on big time. Good for him.

 

[Kianig89]

just motoring along repeating same thing over and over ala stupidity next in should be Asif Ali

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan is gathering momentum. 24 in the last 2

 

[ex-q-zit]

Shan seems to be more better at utilizing the PP as compared to babar. It would be better if he opens with rizwan followed by babar and Fakhar with the former at 3 if there is an early wicket or fakhar if the openers play out 8-10 overs.

 

[Savak]

Hardworking Shan Masood not letting us and Pakistan down

 

[sweep_shot]

Mosaddek should've bowled more. Hasan shouldn't have bowled more than 2 overs. Poor captaincy.

 

[Kianig89]

only 2 sixes in this mickey mouse ground

 

[SamNJ]

Positive intent from Shaan.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Risk Free T20 circket. Who doesn't like it

 

[Ahmed216]

I hope Babar’s team loses again. They deserve every bit of humiliation that comes their way. I cannot watch Shan asif khushdil and likes on a cricket field

 

[Galla]

Nice to see shan showing some intent.

 

[Kianig89]

With Dahani in attack we are bound to give 50 runs in 4 overs

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Wow people are cranky today

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD is the worst six-hitting side by some distance. Anything over 160 will be a tough ask for them.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 91/1 (12 overs).

Pakistan are looking good for 170.

 

[Kianig89]

do any of them has the ability that six like kyle mayers

 

[ChTab]

With Dahani in attack we are bound to give 50 runs in 4 overs

On these grounds he will give at least 70

 

[imshally81]

Full toss wasted

 

[Suleiman]

Oh God. What do you shove in your eyes when Babar plays at 200+ SR in a 200+ run chase?

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. That’s hardly the trend for the majority of his innings. By the way how many times did he do that in the series again? And did it change the result of the series?

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Disappointed with the coverage

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Rizwan ready to do his Sajda after reaching 50.

 

[imshally81]

Shan gone

 

[Mean&Green]

Rizwan is playing for his crappy 50 what a pathetic batsman
