Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st ODI | Dubai | December 8, 2014 | New Zealand Innings

[Cricket_Engineer]

Shafiq is a net bowler

 

[Sam18696]

 

[Mr Consistent]

9 from the over

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

how is his action?

 

[Aman]

Pakistan giving us some free runs

Both sides experimenting ahead of the WC.

 

[Nado_]

I'm not exaggerating check out their numbers... All have played more than 10 ODI's...

Neesham 17.87
Brownlie 16.50
Latham 25
Devich 15.50

I get what youre saying but to me an odi series is always important, t20 just a bit if fun

 

[Bilal7]

This series is irrelevant, if it had any meaning we wouldn't be resting 2 front line bowlers and our captain.

Its stupid to consider an ODI series irrelevant just before a WC. You're resting your main bowlers since they've bowled a lot in recent times and McCullum is unfit if I'm not mistaken.

What was the point of that over ????

Well Black Caps management are treating it as such, KW wouldn't have been playing either if he hadn't gotten injured and needed the game time. He was actually supposed to sit this series out as well.

 

[Mr Consistent]

it might not be misbah's choice

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

haters gonna hate

i always blame misbah for no improvisation...

i am really surprised today...these guys are actually thinking and planning....way to go

 

[Bilal7]

Mohammad Irfan, Junaid Khan, Wahab Riaz and Umar Gul make a good quartet of fast bowlers. Our pace stocks are not as depleted as they seem.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

good over so far ........

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

That back of a length bullcrap is really pi$ing me off ATM

We should still get 250, but I'm just so tired of the Brownlies, Devichs and Neeshams.

I'd kill for a Shafiq or a Hafeez lol

No they are not. Like I said, they needed to rest those players and they did. You might not care though.

way too much as far as team selection goes, for world cup squad i mean.

 

[Mr Consistent]

good over by gul

 

[Kianig89]

Crucial phase of innings start

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

well done by umar. i Guess?

 

[Bilal7]

Why is Taylor struggling so much? He should be targeting the part-timers.

 

[Aman]

No they are not. Like I said, they needed to rest those players and they did. You might not care though.

How often have Pakistan rested Misbah for a series?

 

[Aman]

Slow wicket.

 

[Swanny]

Hope yk gets a big hundred.

 

[Yatoo]

U Akmal also bowls. He bowls regularly in First Class.
Bring him in place of Shafiq for next match.

Enough of Tuk Tuk in the team.


Else add Azhar Ali to the team and we all will stop watching any cricket

 

[Aman]

Hope yk gets a big hundred.

Why?

On the contrary - an ODI series just before the world cup is for experimenting and giving as many players as you can matches.

Which is why Pakistan have gone in with such an odd bowling lineup.

Australia lost the one dayers to England in 2007 and got whitewashed by New Zealand in an ODI series as the leadup to going through the world cup undefeated.

 

[Shafi]

Anything over 200 we have most probably loose!!!

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Spray gun is on......please Wahab itmanan say bowling karaoooo

Can't recall the last time I saw Taylor struggle this much.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

We need a wicket or this might get out of hand

In our case it's just shown we have no depth in the batting department, aside from our best 6-7 batsmen, the rest are rubbish.

 

[Justcrazy]

150 up

Kiwi Ronchi > WA Ronchi anyday [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION]

 

[MRSN]

shot

Ronchi is good at pull.

 

[Mr Consistent]

what a shot

 

[Justcrazy]

Irfan back.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

This guy Ronchi seems decent enough

Ronchi is a dangerous hitter.

 

[Pro Era]

Ronchi's looking very good

 

[MRSN]

that was a lovely delivery.

 

[Aman]

Skied

 

[MRSN]

 

[Markhor]

Very well caught.

 

[Aman]

Great catch by YK

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Red Devil]

Fantastic catch by YK

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Another one gone

[tauseef_mahmood]

Irfan bowling well?

 

[Bilal7]

Irfan will be a killed in Australia.

 

[Sam18696]

Whatta catch by YK!

 

[Pro Era]

Honestly its just inconceivable to think that Pakistan actually decided to play Younis Khan and Asad Shafiq over Fawad and Umar. That could cost them the game as well as the series.

 

[MRSN]

He had to choose Irfan. There was Gul to bowl some pies. couldn't wait Ronchi.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Short ball?

 

[Shafi]

Younis with this catch and run out booked a place for WC.

 

[Bilal7]

Irfan bowling well?

WHat do you think? 3 wickets and several plays and misses.

His pace is down though which may or may not be intentional.

 

[Justcrazy]

Six down.

 

[Sam18696]

Irfan bowling well?

Yes he is.

 

[MRSN]

Great catch by YK

man you guys are really disappointing.

 

[Aman]

Taylor nicks it for 4

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Sam18696]

Edged and

 

[Red Devil]

Check out the bounce Irfan is generating here. Can't wait to see him bowl in Aus.

 

[MRSN]

lazy Sarfraz caught daydreaming once again,

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Wanted a high scoring game to show that YK and Shafiq should never be in the ODI team. This low score is perfect for them as it fits their style of play

 

[Pro Era]

I still think any score of like 220+ will be difficult for this garbage of a batting lineup.

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis with this catch and run out booked a place for WC.

Younis needs to open .

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Almost

I'd be heaping you with praise, but right now I'm more frustrated with our persistence with international failures.

how can an ugly man like bazid find a way to com box?
