NZ-PAK-BD Tri-series | New Zealand v Pakistan | Christchurch | 8 October 2022 | New Zealand innings

[AAli98]

Harris rauf - poor man’s waqar.
Shan shaheen afridi - poor man’s wasim.
Mohammed Nawaz - poor man’s afridi.
Shadab - poor man’s danish kaneria

 

[LegendAli]

Interesting to see a match being played in this weather of 12C, must be freezing.

 

[MenInG]

I can tell you our batters will also struggle

 

[Shariq7]

Ifti is really slow in the field. Was never reaching that and gave away a 3. Wow.

Don't worry; he'll make it up with his batting.

 

[PakPremi]

If the throw was any good that would had been a run out. Oppositions can take a 2s or against Pakistan fielders, whereas Pakistani batsmen do not have same luxury against other teams.
Fielding really makes a lot of difference.

 

[Suleiman]

Bouncers galore incoming on this pitch

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Lots of dot balls so far

 

[MenInG]

[Rana]

Conway is too slow for powerplay! He needs to stay at 3

Too many dots

 

[t_kaay]

Bouncers galore incoming on this pitch

Not sure about that......few have stayed low so far and haven't bounced as much as expected.

 

[Rana]

Shadab fielding at short fine leg

He’s 100% injured

 

[t_kaay]

Shadab fielding at short fine leg

He’s 100% injured

Looks fine to me.....just cold

 

[Suleiman]

Enjoying the music. Watching cricket in NZ at this time of the year is such a chill vibe.

 

[IAJ]

Scorecard disappeared

 

[Xoib]

I think Wasim has a good ceiling hope we keep persisting with him even with few rough games

 

[Rana]

I think Wasim has a good ceiling hope we keep persisting with him even with few rough games

He is a big upgrade to Hassan Ali right now

 

[D/DAhmed]

New Zealand playing tuk tuk like Pakistan right now, difference is they have consistent big hitters in the middle order to propel them forward whilst we have the Tulla Trio

 

[Rana]

This is a poor start by Conway

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Lets see how much NZ make in PP and how much they end up with.

 

[Rana]

What a disastrous innings by Conway

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

man it's so horrible how rizwan is playing for nz as well and got them to sub par powerplay total

does this man's selfishness know no bounds?!!

 

[AAli98]

Keep these 2 in

 

[msb314]

NZ batting slowly

 

[Rana]

Kane should have been out there

Pakistan never hit when it matters

 

[Suleiman]

Lol commentator calling us NZ’s boogeyman.

We’ll take it.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Man this guy is a gem, pp and 2 over for 8 and morons ruined his over.

 

[fight_club]

Kiwi's best test player inspired by Pakistan opening pair, Wasim has been good

 

[Nasty Naz]

A run out chance missed to overthrows. That hurts.

 

[Rana]

man it's so horrible how rizwan is playing for nz as well and got them to sub par powerplay total

Conway is playing selfishly here

I bet he knows it though

Rizwan doesn’t care if he is bogged down. His goal is to score 50

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

Conway is playing selfishly here

I bet he knows it though

Rizwan doesn’t care if he is bogged down. His goal is to score 50

let's see how much they end up making with their vastly superior middle order

maybe another myth will be busted today

 

[AAli98]

Dreadful camera work again:

They should know Pak can’t field so just keep camera on boundary’s for overthrows..

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Any chance cold has slowed everyone down. Doesn't feel like T20.

 

[Saj]

Comedy fielding again from Pakistan.

Basics.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Just 3 wickers by Ifti. Did he bowl all those 33 games?

 

[Energy]

Good captaincy by Babar to slip an over from Ifti. Hope he doesn't over do now and assesses.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Almost his 4th wicket

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Well everyone seems to emulate Pakistan, guess tuk tuk is back in fashion.

 

[D/DAhmed]

With the amount of bounce on offer, I can’t wait to see our batsmen falter pathetically. Tulla trio of Ifti, Haider & Asif might actually make history by making negative runs between them

 

[Sarwar89]

So if rizwan and babar had scored 51 in first 8 overs like kane and conway
This thread woukd have had rain of criticism

 

[AAli98]

These 2 must be nz’s Masood & kushdil

 

[Sherazkhalid]

What's a good economy rate in T20s. I remember under 5 for ODIs was considered awesome in 00s.

 

[Rana]

Well everyone seems to emulate Pakistan, guess tuk tuk is back in fashion.

Rameez Raja said we have our own style

Log hamare style ki misaal dain ghe

 

[Arsalan Pro]

What's a good economy rate in T20s. I remember under 5 for ODIs was considered awesome in 00s.

Anything below 8 is pretty good nowadays.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Imagine the outrage if it was Pakistan batting like this...

 

[Rana]

Nz fans and commentators feeling it

We have been feeling it for so long too guys

 

[Rana]

Imagine the outrage if it was Pakistan batting like this...

Can’t you sense it? Their commentators are ticking

They are not exactly relaxed

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Pakistan can't chase more than 160 here.

 

[Rana]

Rauf is too funny

 

[wrongun]

These Kiwi openers striking at <200, sack them! Sack them all!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Damn almost a wicket.

 

[Energy]

NZ will likely end up getting around 100 runs in the last 10 overs and take them to a good total. That's the beauty of preserving their wickets until now.

Pakistan batters, its different. They whine.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Seeing Shadab fielding at fine leg, what kind of move it is ?

 

[Rana]

Seeing Shadab fielding at fine leg, what kind of move it is ?

He is injured

 

[D/DAhmed]

All other teams have fielders that are able to take that catch by flicking it back into play, it’s actually a pretty common now. Instead Pakistan’s best fielders continuously look like fools on the boundary line

 

[Rana]

This is not their general way of playing

But it is Pakistan’s

 

[wrongun]

Great recovery fro Shadab. Nice bowling

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Nice comeback after first ball 6

 

[Shariq7]

Not just on the boundary line.

 

[IAJ]

Our spinners not looking at batsmens moves, could bowl wider when batsmen come down the track and get them stumped.

 

[t_kaay]

Don't understand the negativity here. Pakistan have the game under control and have the bowling ability to restrict NZ here. Why the moaning?????

 

[Suleiman]

Amateurish fielding, but it’s Pak.

 

[wrongun]

Openers going along at about 7.5 per over...

Normal opening, expecting their middle order to come in and hit from that base, while one opener accelerates up to a 180 run total speed... Where have I seen this show before?

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Need a wicket here, it's been ages.

 

[Suleiman]

He is injured

I thought he might be, but he’s diving around today. I don’t think he’s injured

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Poor effort

 

[Rana]

Match losing knock by opener Conway

 

[Ahmed216]

Great bowling so far but need a wicket now

 

[IAJ]

It got dark quite quickly

 

[t_kaay]

It's the way to play and works 90% of the time for teams like Pakistan. England have a different approach. Neither is right or wrong. Whatever works for you.

 

[Saj]

Tidy first 10 overs from Pakistan's bowlers.

Would have been even better with more support from the fielders.

 

[Rana]

Why are these nange streaking on the pitch again and again?

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Streaker on the field, seems naked.

 

[t_kaay]

Match losing knock by opener Conway

Or match winning bowling by Pakistan???

 

[wrongun]

Need a wicket here. Bowl Shadab one more?

 

[angrypathan]

Why are these nange streaking on the pitch again and again?

Batting has them bored

 

[MenInG]

Excellent control by Pakistan.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Nice shot, in the gap. Need a wicket now.

 

[Rana]

Terrible innings

 

[imshally81]

Out... Conway gone

 

[TheSultan]

Well at least he had the awareness to hit out and get out, not grit his teeth till the end
