Naseem and Waseem should open. Both can swing the new ball.

Most likely they will.

There was bit of spin on some balls to see, so wont be surprised if Nawaz comes into the game soon as well.

I think Haris will open instead, along with Naseem.

Yes, Rauf can be an option as we have seen him taking the new ball in a game or so in recent times. Wont mind either ways as Rauf can swing the new ball if he gets it right despite the fact that Haris is more useful currently with the older ball but, Wasim's ability to shape/reverse the older ball is also something which can be utilized in the middle overs.

Yeah, Haris swings it too but I'd have liked to see more of what Waseem can do with the new ball. He bowled some crazy swinging yorkers with the new ball vs West indies in t20.

 

[Marooned]

Decent start by Haris.

Naseeeeem on now!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Rubbish stuff from Naseem. Wide after wide.

 

[Marooned]

91 miles scorcher by naseeem!!!

And gets his man.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Gets a wicket as soon as he is on target.

 

[Marooned]

What a ball!

Great to see naseem in green.

 

[Titan24]

What a ball. That came in sharply to hit the pad

 

[Marooned]

Breathing fire now, Naseem

Almost got another.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good pace from Naseem and a lot more on target after all those wides.

 

[Marooned]

Loved that 1st over by naseem.

Too hot for the Netherlands it felt.

 

[MenInG]

Naseem's maiden ODI wicket

[Hextro]

Great to see Naseem getting the bowl to swing at pace.

 

[Marooned]

Naseem has looked on another level compared to haris with the new ball.

Pretty much unplayable in his 2 overs.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Rare drop catch by Fakhar.

 

[Omer2002]

ermmm fakhar great drop i must say how can you shell that...

He could've had 4 by now.

Honestly, looks different gravy compared to Haris.

 

[Nasty Naz]

He is pretty consistent with that Test length ball and its always tough to navigate that in ODI's. Rauf is always wayward. Incredible when on song but can be very leaky and all over the place.

 

[Marooned]

Haris blows away the offstump!!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow Rauf. Incredible ball that jags back.

 

[Titan24]

Good one from Haris.

Two 140 kph plus pacer bowling in tandem is a good sight

 

[Marooned]

Damn we should've had dahani too here. Exciting to watch this.

Yeah. Naseem's 2 overs were .

 

[Titan24]

Yes, I believe a raring to go Dahani is right up there amongst our best pacers across the formats. Yes need to develop his death overs skills more but, can be wicket taking option with the new ball as well as middle overs.

 

[Rana]

Rauf getting plenty of chances with the new ball but not impressing

He should be better than this.

 

[Rana]

He could've had 4 by now.

Honestly, looks different gravy compared to Haris.

What a beautiful first ODI wicket

 

[Marooned]

What a beautiful first ODI wicket

He has been absolutely thrilling to watch.

 

[Marooned]

Yeah. Dahani's yorker really is something. He can be an ace at death imo.
Needs to be a bit more serious and focused tho. Kinda worries me that way lol.

 

[Titan24]

Definitely needs to keep himself focused. I dont mind the character he is as far as he is producing what is expected of him.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Okay these no balls are not acceptable by Naseem. Twice in a row.

He can't be in the ODI side if he keeps doing this.

 

[Titan24]

Naseem needs to work on his no ball issue

 

[PakEngFan]

This is not acceptable from Naseem. You can’t be bowling no balls.

 

[Marooned]

Okay these no balls are not acceptable by Naseem. Twice in a row.

He can't be in the ODI side if he keeps doing this.

The man he replaced (Hasan) was something of a no ball machine himself but yeah, Naseem has to fix no balls.
We can cut him some slack on his debut tho.

 

[Marooned]

Nawaz on. Their spinners got some turn here, he will too.

 

[Titan24]

Too many extras just like Pak did vs Srl in in the 2nd test. Shaun Tait has some work to do

 

[Nasty Naz]

Agreed. That was a massive issue for Hasan too.

It's going to happen once in a while for any fast bowler but this is a bit much. 3 times in only 4 overs. Hopefully it's an issue he can resolve and maybe take something out of Rauf's playbook who never tries to push the line.

 

[Titan24]

That was a beauty from Nawaz, just missed the stumps due to height

 

[Marooned]

Waseem at it again.

Pinpoint yorker. Reviewed.

Looked out to me.

Nooo, there's an edge.

 

[Rana]

Naseem needs to work on his no ball issue

He has a habit of doing this in Test. He doesn’t seem to care as he won’t be penalised with a free hit in Tests. He won’t get away with it in white ball cricket

 

[Titan24]

Yes. Hopefully he gets it right, will be good for his red ball game as well.

 

[Omer2002]

They are going 6 an over and we were going minus 3 an over....

 

[Titan24]

Good pace and accuracy from Wasim so far

 

[Marooned]

Won't survive this time!!

Waseem strikes.

That's what I like about Waseem. He is the guy who can produce a wicket taking jaffa out of nowhere.

 

[Marooned]

Waseem attacking the pads continously. Good bowling.

 

[nextover666666]

Waseem strikes.

That's what I like about Waseem. He is the guy who can produce a wicket taking jaffa out of nowhere.

Exactly, people tend too not rate him, but he is important to the bowling attack, because he just has a knack of taking wickets at the right time, and he tends to get either bowled, or caught and bowled off his own bowling. He can bat a bitt too which is plus as well

 

[Xoib]

Waseem strikes.

That's what I like about Waseem. He is the guy who can produce a wicket taking jaffa out of nowhere.

Yes I reckon he will be a good test bowler if his control can improve slightly can see him bowl well with the reverse especially on sub cont tracks.

 

[Omer2002]

dutch have done well and setting a platform

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Naseem looks more suited to LOI cricket than test cricket in my opinion.

 

[Nasty Naz]

A no ball from a spinner. Not great discipline from the bowlers.

 

[NeVerMind]

Been asking this all day... Is anyone showing this match in the UK? ARY Digitel certainly isn't...

Willow.

 

[Marooned]

We should play 4 quicks next game.

 

[Marooned]

I think so too.

 

[Rajdeep]

50 for Vikramjit Singh

 

[Omer2002]

pathetic bowlers and pathetic batters...we only got the score we did because of their drops.

Fast bowlers were great to watch.

 

[Omer2002]

well fast bowlers are back and first ball has gone for 6...

 

[m.shah]

Anyone showing this in India?

 

[Marooned]

Next game, I'd bring Dahani in for Nawaz.

 

[Marooned]

well fast bowlers are back and first ball has gone for 6...

Maybe I jinxed it.

 

[Nasty Naz]

What's with these nonsense short balls.

 

[Omer2002]

160 probably or just less needed in 20 overs with 3 wickets in hand

they are favourites

 

[Marooned]

I'd have brought Naseem instead of Rouf here.

 

[Rana]

They are right in this

150 odd to get in 20 overs with 7 wickets. Two set batsmen at the crease

 

[Marooned]

Gone. Rouf strikes.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Rauf with the massive breakthrough here and it's going to be very tough for the Dutch now.

 

[Marooned]

Naseem back and continues to look dangerous.

 

[Marooned]

Nawaz gets vikramjit.

Reviewed and still out.

 

[Nasty Naz]

That's likely curtains for Netherlands at this point.

 

[Rajdeep]

Noooooo Vikramjit out

 

[anonymous_guy]

Been asking this all day... Is anyone showing this match in the UK? ARY Digitel certainly isn't...

Use fancode app.
It's a paid app though.

 

[LegendAli]

Noooooo Vikramjit out

You have 20 posts in this thread and 19 of them are for brother Vikramjit paji, what is going on?

Hey might be his long lost cousin haha

 

[Marooned]

Fast bowling has looked a far bigger challenge for the Dutch.

None of them were able to handle Naseem but Haris and Waseem have done well too.

I'd bring in Dahani next game and go with 4 quicks.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Darn, Wasim doesn't get a wicket due to umpire's call. Surprised it wasn't given out with how it looked.

It looked plumb to me in real time.
