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

[Aman]

Not really. It was just a really close game which could have gone either way

6 down for 100 odd runs, one more wicket is all we needed to win the game. Anyways, for the next game who do you think should come in? Mitch or Henry?

 

[Smbhayi]

You won the game because we only picked 2 frontline pacers.

Pak too can say same.. It's there most unbalanced side in ages..

 

[Aman]

[MENTION=68271]NZcricketfan[/MENTION] it was an error to count on Neesham to bowl 10 overs.

 

[EarthBoltX]

A 100+ run partnership made up of two people I would not expect. One because he's a debutant and the other because he's Afridi, but wow. That's really something.

 

[Laparwah]

I did say recently that Lala is still a finisher on his day as few as they may be. He turned it on today for sure, hopefully a good omen for the coming WC next year! I can't believe we won chasing a score for a change.

Things happen. I remember us being 62/4 against australia and we chased 350.

Yeah, I guess. Getting tired of us getting spanked with the bench strength, these guys need to step up, we can't always rely on the first XI to always be there for us...

well if afridi playing like this, then other bowlers too can't do nothing.. he's a very good strike rotator if he plays sensibly. .

Scratch that, not a debutant, but still vastly inexperienced and not having played in a long time at this level.

 

[Aman]

None of them are putting their hands up for a spot, that's the most disappointing thing.

Ryder could walk back into this side with his off field problems and all.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Good thing for the WC is the openers spot is still a problem. Keeps Ryders hopes alive, man I hope they bring him in for the SL series. He's the perfect partner for Guptill.

Ryder was left out of the 30 man preliminary squad announced today???

Thought you wouldve known that

Nothing but a preliminary squad, I'm sure there's ways to get him into the side if needed.

Some of the names there instead, I mean wow

Nope. They said there is no chance of ryder going to the world cup

I'm pretty sure the final 15 has to be selected from the preliminary squad. There'd be no point to it otherwise.

Who knows, we could have a DC/Beaver incident.

We just dealt Aman a killer blow I think
