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

[Rana]

Terrible innings but selfless in getting out

Hamare out nahi honge

It is against the constitution of Pakistan to get out when there is 9 wickets in hand but your team need a move on

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Yesss, hope Pakistan keeps it tight.

 

[Rana]

“31 is a very high average for this form of the game”

Our fans will disapprove

 

[t_kaay]

Do NZ have an equivalent of PakPassion? Where all the posters will be slating Conway and Williamson and asking for their immediate removal from all forms of cricket?

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I wonder how we will approach chase if it's a low score.

They can come here

 

[Ahmed216]

Nawaz gets the left hander with a clever change in length. But babar the tactician has underbowled him against leftys. It was Rajapaksa in Asia Cup final

 

[t_kaay]

Fielder was checking where the boundary was after that catch, even though he was miles inside

 

[AAli98]

I wonder how we will approach chase if it's a low score.

Pray Rizwan Baba don’t get out early otherwise it’ll be a blood bath !!

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

My first look at Pak teams new uniforms. Snazzy, i like it better than the previous one.
Fancy footwear for Rizwan, nawaaz , Shadab and a few others !

 

[imshally81]

NZ is another terrible team of T20

I believe this is universal sports talk across any game.

Rugby league supporter forums in Australia= very similar.

The honest cricket fans will speak out

That wasn’t an acceptable batting by Conway

He ate up too many dots in the powerplay

 

[Rana]

Babar can do what Kane is doing at 3 and he will look ‘important’ for us

 

[msb314]

Poor batting from Williamson

 

[t_kaay]

I wonder how we will approach chase if it's a low score.

We have the same approach if we are chasing 120 or if we are chasing 220.

 

[Rana]

Why Babar telling him off? He stopped 2??

 

[TheSultan]

They should be slated for this performance. And if they continue like this, they should both be fired

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Where are those who were saying other teams try to score 70/80 in powerplay

 

[Rana]

Very good commentary

Says it as it is!

This is good “one day batting”

And he is “lacking intent”

And is putting “pressure on his other batters”

 

[Saj]

Strange approach by NZ.

Unless they know that 140 or so is enough here.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Williamson playing excellent ODI cricket, they are getting bored too.

 

[imshally81]

Bowled emm

 

[Rana]

NZ batting like Pakistan

 

[msb314]

Got him!

 

[t_kaay]

The honest cricket fans will speak out

That wasn’t an acceptable batting by Conway

He ate up too many dots in the powerplay

Or just good bowling

 

[TheSultan]

They are least try and sent a over pinch hitter up top. NZ are probably very similar to Pakistan, but they are trying different things and not just sticking Conway and Williamson at the top of the order and hoping for the best.

 

[alone1213]

Kane Williamson is a terrible T20 player and he got so much money in Indian circus league.

 

[Rana]

Strange approach by NZ.

Unless they know that 140 or so is enough here.

It isn’t

They need 170

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Strange approach by NZ.

Unless they know that 140 or so is enough here.

I guess they know, since they be facing Riz and Baber.

 

[TheSultan]

And they get out too

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good bowling by Nawaz to get both set batsmen.

 

[Rana]

NZ at least 12 runs behind par

 

[Ahmed216]

I am glad babar didn't underbowl Nawaz today in middle overs

 

[Anis Shivani]

Rizwan passed along his virus to NZ. That's how evil he is. Now watch the NZ middle order vanish.

 

[angrypathan]

Hope the bowlers don’t get complacent here. Pakistan has a habit of letting down the intensity after a good start

 

[Ahmed216]

Quality stuff from the spinners. Talk about being one step ahead of the batsman

 

[wrongun]

Or just good bowling

The spinners both bowled very nicely I thought. Shadab mixed them up with a couple of variations they couldn't read and it took away their confidence to hit through him.

Nawaz been on a tight line and mixing up length quite smartly.

 

[t_kaay]

NZ at least 12 runs behind par

I'd say they are about 30 behind bearing in mind the lack of boundaries in the PP

 

[Rana]

6 overs of pace now

I recon go with Chacha for an over

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Maybe pitch ain't that easy to score. We can defend 150 but we can bottle 140 too.

 

[Ahmed216]

Can't see much wrong with the pitch

 

[Rana]

You can bet your house if NZ lose, Conway and Kane will take responsibility and make amends

 

[angrypathan]

Huuuge

 

[wrongun]

Oof. One too many for Nawaz here?

 

[fight_club]

Pakistan spinners bowled superbly, Nawaz showing why he must get full Quota overs. Williamson has put kiwi's in a hole pathetic batting

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Huuuge

That was huge. 97 m

 

[Rana]

Hundred up

No one clapping it

 

[Farabi]

I'd say they are about 30 behind bearing in mind the lack of boundaries in the PP

Let both sides bat first . This could be 140 pitch

 

[t_kaay]

Too short bowling

 

[IAJ]

Yaar bowl wider

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Who will miss out one over? Dahani or Wasim?

 

[Rana]

Need another 6

 

[wrongun]

Yep. One too many.

 

[Rana]

6 runs behind par after that over

 

[angrypathan]

Awful over

 

[Sherazkhalid]

That's what we are missing, we hit one boundary and we think we have done enough.

 

[TheSultan]

Good move by Williamson to get out

 

[msb314]

Poor over from Nawaz

 

[Rana]

Surely he could have bowled chacha?

 

[IAJ]

Brainless bowling

 

[t_kaay]

Another short ball. 22 off the over. Need pace back on now

 

[JibranAnsari]

nawaz had no answer. Didnt even try bowling wide outside off.

 

[Rana]

Good move by Williamson to get out

Selfless

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Every game, one bowler loses their marble. Wasim, Dasani, Rauf and now Nawaz.

 

[JibranAnsari]

175 on.

 

[angrypathan]

Shades of Ajmal to Hussey in that over. Stubborn insistence on bowling short pitched legside rubbish

 

[Rana]

This is what we need Khushdil to do!

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Bad captaincy by babar, should have bowled iftikhar

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Surely he could have bowled chacha?

Clueless captain.
Surely imad deserve to be in this team.
Instead of these trash like qadir & khushdil

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor over from Nawaz

Very poor. Babar backed him because he was bowling well

 

[JibranAnsari]

i totally despise waqars commentary.

 

[D/DAhmed]

This is why New Zealand can afford to bat slow early on. Unlike our rubbish Tulla Trio, their batsman have the capability to get 100 runs from 10 overs, now Phillips will also start hitting and it’ll be curtains for our snail paced batting

 

[Rana]

Khushdil should study all the left handed middle order players of the world

See where he is going wrong for us.

 

[Zeshan547]

Such a disgusting over by Nwaz, undone all the good work, Nz ahead now, never seen him bowl so bad, all half trackers, proper A grade hitter could have hit all six sixes.

 

[angrypathan]

This is what we need Khushdil to do!

Bowl that rubbish to him and he probably will. Unfortunately teams know that all they have to do is bowl outside off stump

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Selfless

Yes 30 ball 31 is selfless in a t20i

 

[IAJ]

Since he has taken 2 wickets they will not speak to him. We have a spinner as head coach and look st that rubbish bowling.

 

[JibranAnsari]

nawaz isnt a long time option , pakistan will need to find a better replacement. At times he is extremely dumb..

 

[Rana]

Clueless captain.
Surely imad deserve to be in this team.
Instead of these trash like qadir & khushdil

Well, it was a risk taken by the batsman but match up is quite a thing

This was a left hander and Chacha would have a better shout bowling to him
