What's new

Pakistan comfortably defeat New Zealand by 47 runs to seal another T20I whitewash

looks like bechare ka pehle or akhri over... in international cricket
 
15 runs from the first over, horrible over really. This is the only over I've seen from this guy so not trying to draw any conclusions but he looked nothing special there.
 
Smooth run up, clean fluent action that has the ability to be tweaked upon i.e. potential. Good pace and angle- very consistent with line and length and most importantly they have to be *smart* and adaptable- something shinwari isn't.

That is why right now I feel Abbas and Hasan are the best Pakistani pacers

Hassan also lacks some consistency but that can be imrpoved with hardwork. Shinwari has pace and nice angle across to right handed batsmen and into lefties. Can reverse the ball and has decent yorkers.
Yes he hasnt shown himself to be a lot brainy but cant say that there is no potential at all.

Surely he needs to improve but he is 24 and hasnt played a lot to say he has shwon no potential. He took 5 wixkets in his opening spell against SRL, I dont remember last time a fast bowler did that, you cant do that without potential.
 
Skipper starting to cut loose.

Looks like Waqas is one and done.
 
Williamson taking charge. Could deny us the whitewash single handedly.
 
I said this wicket looks better.
Kane playing superbly but much easier to hit through the line on this wicket.
 
classy Kane

Exactly why I was saying there was no need to be so carried away over Babar who was good but not even close to top draw and there will be more occurrences of that knock on Friday where he scored 40 in more balls. Puts everything into perspective.

Wicket looks good now. Williamson is the match winning type of batsman

He is going to be really annoying in the one day internationals

Besides the point- there are too many better options in Pak cricket rn to allow shinwari a slot (unless they are being rested/injured etc.) If shinwari can show that he is better than them now- then I won't object to him being in the squad but atm - from what I have seen- from the first ever shinwari international spell to now- there has been 0 / little improvement. So it is natural that he hasn't played a lot, there is no point in him playing

And as we are seeing.... Williamson is picking him apart and I feel he will have no reply to it
 
Been all NZ since that Maqsood over. Thought we could've carried on with Shinwari after his first over.
 
A joy to watch Kane Williamson in such imperious form. That's what we need to see more off from the Pakistan team.
 
Hope we don't see maqsood ever again
Shifted the momentum to NZ
His single over has lost us the game
 
Shinwari playing dumb cricket- Kane is trying to muscle him out of the park and he is just providing him the pace to do it- no variations whatsoever
 
Shinwari is not good enough for international level YET. Bowling every ball 138-141 no variations whatsoever.
 
Shadab’s confidence for his age is just amazing
 
SHADABBBB. Shadab Khan I reckon could go down as one of Pakistan’s greatest cricketers if he keeps up like this.
 
Whilst Kane was out there Kiwis were favourites.
Now it’s back in the balance.
 
This is brainless bowling. The way to go on these pitches is slower balls and cutters. Shinwari just bowling at pace and the same pace at that
