Pakistan (191/3) comprehensively defeat Netherlands (186) by 7 wickets; Take unassailable 2-0 lead

[MenInG]

An uncomfortable 16-run win in the 1st ODI should be a matter of concern for Babar so will he make changes to today's line-up?

Should Dahani get a chance to play today instead of M Wasim?

[MenInG]

Will we see Dahani play?

 

[Officer Barbrady]

Will we see Dahani play?

is naseem injured?

 

[Marooned]

Will we see Dahani play?

I sure hope so. I mean are we now going to give him a rubber here too?

There's no 'risk' in playing him. We need to put this fossilized mindset to bed.

 

[Marooned]

is naseem injured?

Didn't hear anything of the sort. He did have a cramp last game tho, I hope he's ok.

 

[Omer2002]

Dhani haris shafeeq all shud play or whats the use of coming

 

[MenInG]

Netherlands have won the toss and elected to bat first in the 2nd ODI vs Pakistan

Pakistan are unchanged from the side that won the 1st ODI

Oh what a surprise!

No idea what did Dahani ever do to them.
Can't get a game vs Netherlands.

Lost half of the interest for this game.

 

[Shafi]

Parchi Imam still there!!!!!!! I think Babar is even scare of Netherlands. If Shaheen is not injured he would play all 3 matches.Our team management will play main team even against Portugal/Germany U15 teams.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Dahani should have played over Rauf today

 

[Shafi]

They scare of loosing and want to win these meaningless matches so Loose against big teams will not raise questions.

 

[Shafi]

India is playing D team Zimbabwe main team. I bet our Captain would field injured Shaheen against them.

 

[Usman]

Please could someone confirm where this is being shown in the UK? Thanks!

 

[Marooned]

Scared of what? Dahani is a better bowler than all of them.

 

[shah_1]

I agree

How is Imam still being called parchi?

He is averaging almost 54 in ODI's, that doesn't seem like parchi numbers to me

Rizwan survives too

Imam scored 200+ runs in the 3 match series against WI, what has Rizwan done??

 

[Shafi]

Scared of what? Dahani is a better bowler than all of them.

Scare of loosing to Netherlands. Dhani is new and Babar is not confident enough.

 

[Shafi]

Parchi Rizwan survives too

Imam scored 200+ runs in the 3 match series against WI, what has Rizwan done??

Rizwan is a wicketkeeper batsman and also can play as a opener to score run-a-ball. Imam wasted too many balls.

 

[MenInG]

if they were scared they would have made changes.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan is a wicket keeper batsman because on merit he never made the side solely as a batsman. He is a product of nepotism and politics. Nothing more.

 

[AAli98]

Still can’t believe pak were 3 runs of 4 overs parchii 2 (19) v Nlands in this day & age is absolutely disgraceful !

 

[Omer2002]

Folks its pretty understandable...i mean they should have lost the last game no doubt any other team would have gone accross the line.

This is the reality of Pak cricket we are a timid team but are doing well.

 

[Xoib]

The bowling attack is very new already and it's OK if we play the incumbents.

The only change was needed at the top no need of Fakhar and Imam to play this series they are already established could have picked Abdullah and Haris

 

[Marooned]

It isn't ok tho. Waseem even Naseem have no more claim than Dahani.

Why not give each of them 2 games?

I'd have played all 4 btw.

 

[Marooned]

Naseem strikes 1st ball.

 

[Marooned]

For anyone who saw last game, Naseem is a level above Rouf with the new ball.

Infact, rouf has never impressed me with new ball despite getting some outswing. Should've tried Waseem today.

But we would rather not change anything ever.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan have got the induction of Naseem Shah in the white ball squad right. This is the kind of series he should be debuting in.

To make him play those difficult away Test series when he was raw was a bad idea, but he has come out as a battle hardened bowler for sure

100%. That's how he should've been eased in.

 

[Rana]

Naseem has more no balls than wickets in his 11 overs so far in his ODI career

Who is the bowling coach?!! Why is this issue not being addressed???

 

[Shafi]

These unnecessary no-balls will not good for us. It may cost us crucial games.

 

[Marooned]

Not as much swing today. They can score here.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan in general has a very poor attitude towards no balls in Test cricket, and this is now seeping into white ball.

If a guy like Harris Rauf can be smart enough to keep his foot a yard behind the line in order to make sure he avoids it, why can’t the others???

 

[Rana]

Should have let Pakistan bat first and make a game of it. It’s going to be a one sided match I recon

 

[Marooned]

Dropped!

Beautifully bowled by rouf

 

[Omer2002]

customary drop from fakhar ...simple catch

 

[Marooned]

Bowled. Lol. Naseem has 2nd.

 

[Marooned]

Absolutely.

It's going to end soon by the looks of it.

 

[MenInG]

Good catch by Babar

[Omer2002]

This is the difference in world cricket...India who have sent their probably A or even B team and thrashing zimbabwe who just beat bangladesh yet we send out full strength team against netherlands and dont even make changes.....

Yes ! Debuting him in Australia was the height of madness. He should've been groomed in white ball cricket first.

 

[Rana]

Guys like Waqar and Misbah were still living in the past cuckoo land of throwing in tear away teenagers into the Test side.

Cricket has changed. Pitches have changed. Batting is so much more easier. Batsmen are far more well equipped with shot range.

 

[MenInG]

Batter annoyed with himself

Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf

1 world class all format bowler
1 world class white ball specialist bowler
1 potential world class all format bowler

Pakistan heading in the right direction

Basic in swing. Too good for the average player

 

[Rana]

So Naseem is leaps ahead of Umran Malik who failed to impress against Ireland. This is a very weak Netherlands side tbf and the Ireland side was pretty strong for associate standards

 

[Rana]

Might as well let these two bowl out and try getting a 5fer each

 

[Smudger]

Ireland is not an Associate

 

[Marooned]

Out and no ball
Naseem could've had his 3rd with a great c&b but not to be.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Seems like a real issue here with naseem

 

[Shafi]

Nasim should not play ODI if he cannot stop these oversteps and leaking runs.

 

[Shafi]

Big teams will eat Nasim alive. Should stick with test cricket. Dhani should play instead of him.

 

[Marooned]

Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf

Add Dahani too. All format credentials.

 

[Marooned]

If it were upto me I'd have a completely experimental attack here. Something like Naseem Akif Dahani Arshad.

 

[Rana]

I guess these tours against associates are useful as long as they are used for the right purposes

Debuting Naseem against England/West Indies or Australia could have been disastrous for him considering they would exploit his no ball problem. It’s good that it has been exposed now rather than later.

The bowling coach has a lot of work to do. There is no way a bowler can bowl this many no balls in white ball cricket, it is more than enough to end a career at the highest level.

 

[Anis Shivani]

Wah ji, winning combination khila rahey hein even against Netherlands. Dahani, Haris, Abdullah, Zahid, all should have played. Poor selector sahib keeps picking Dahani, but the captain doesn't have to play him. With the tournaments coming up it's possible Dahani will never play for Pakistan. If he has a dip in form then they don't even have to carry him.

 

[Anis Shivani]

If you want to play for Pakistan then don't be from Larkana.

 

[Rana]

For Naseem Shah to learn the consequences of his carelessness, I would like Tom Cooper to score a big hundred against Pakistan today!

These kids, no matter how talented they are must learn the hard way that their careless attitude towards the basics (keeping your foot behind the line) can be the reason why your team lost

He should be dropped for few series as a punishment for his carelessness and fix his problems.

This Cooper bloke was Australia u19s

Pakistan are being punished by him!

Australian are always do well against us. They are highly skilled and trained. This guy is almost as good as Babar.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

6th wicket down , good comeback by Pakistan.

 

[Omer2002]

nawaz has done well...but all of a sudden last two series his batting has gone downhill just when i thought his batting has improved.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Nawaz, Imad, Khushdil, Faheem Ashraf, Asif Ali and Shadab are not batsmen. Good opposition will not allow them free their arms 9/10 times. Pak selectors are having surprising faith in their batting which will haunt them big time in near future.

 

[Robinson Shrestha]

No wicket taking bowler in the middle overs..

 

[Titan24]

No wicket taking bowler in the middle overs..

Yes need more penetration but, Wasim offers solid reverse (Haris bit of extra pace when he is bowling first change) while Nawaz has been decent in ODIs since his return in almost every series including the tour of SA.

A luxury of a top quality spinner in ODIs like Pak used to have in Saqlain and Saeed would be a nice addition. Looking forward to few young upcoming spinners to work hard and achieve that quality.

 

[MenInG]

 

[Rana]

Great bowling by Rauf today

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Babar gave Holland 30 extra runs by not bringing on Haris Rauf earlier

 

[pratiktc]

Only worthy contest today is between stat padders Imam ul Haq and Shikhar Dhawan

 

[KhanNn]

Would be interesting if they try Dahni and Wasim as the new ball pair. Give Naseem a chance too to give him more practice. Bring in Mohammad Haris instead of Rizwan or Imam. Maybe swap Nawaz for Zahid just to see how he does

 

[Abdullah]

Who is showing this in the UK?

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan in a bit of trouble here.

Big opportunity for Rizwan to come good here today.

 

[gazza619]

Does anyone know who is broadcasting this in the UK please?

 

[NeVerMind]

Who is showing this in the UK?

No one... Only available on Willow TV I believe

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Pathetic batting, we are supposed to beat India??

 

[Markhor]

What the heck is going on ? Our batsmen are treating Vivian Kingma like the King Viv of bowling.

No wonder we name full strength XIs when we're barely scraping past the Dutch.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Babar is looking quite good.

 

[Shafi]

Take Babar, Fakhar, Shaheen and Rauf and our team will be same as associate level.

 

[Rana]

Babar can get 100 here
