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

[Mr Consistent]

8 from first pp over

 

[Mamoon]

Still better at playing spin that all those other poor top order batsmen that played today. You should definitely not be focusing on Shezzy's weaknesses when the weaknesses within our lineup are unbelievable.

His weakness against spin has nothing to do with what others do. This is a typical Pakistani attitude.

 

[Mainul]

yes a miracle. More a once in a lifetime occurrence. In general your useless. A local pub team could give you a match.

Another one...We whitewashed Zimbabwe 3-0, 5-0.You lost a test and a ODI

 

[Thivagar]

Is it just me or is afiridi bleeding from his ears ?

 

[Kianig89]

150 up

 

[SAfridi]

Using his Pace

 

[Bilal7]

Please, please, please keep batting like this guys. Just target 6 runs an over which can be achieved by singles, doubles and the occasional boundaries.

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Bilal7]

We are talking about proper, quality batsmen here.

True. Afridi is looking like a proper batsman today.

 

[Mainul]

O no. Afridi and Haris are playing well

 

[Justcrazy]

89 more required.

 

[Lords]

Afridi is a cunning man. First he slogged blindly for years and made people follow his style, and when they ruined their careers he changed his batting to a more sensible style.

 

[Barragan]

Afridi is so good at rotating the strike, that he can play a 100 balls and end up with a hundred, just through singles or doubles.

 

[Mainul]

Jinx Afridi

 

[Mr Consistent]

another good over for pak

 

[PTI tsunami]

This guy is quick

 

[yasir]

Harris my Man is going good, ray of hope for Pakistan in WC!!!

 

[Mamoon]

Haris looks organized against Milne and playing the ball on merit unlike others.

 

[Mr Consistent]

need 86 from 78 balls

 

[Justcrazy]

161.6

37 overs

 

[shakil]

Afridi is going to whack it when Haris gets his fifty

 

[Madplayer]

Haris has shown his class already

 

[Sam18696]

Hmm we were ahead of NZ at this stage

 

[Azzurri]

Haris looks like Syed Iqrar ul hassan

 

[Bilal7]

Fawad and Haris are in direct competition for the #3 spot I think. He's played a good knock Haris and I hope he keeps these performances up.

 

[IAJ]

When Ramiz start praising pakistani batting....

 

[Thivagar]

Yh I know I was just joking around

That was a question

 

[Sam18696]

from Afridi

He's playing some cheeky shots

 

[haroon91]

What are those orange things in Afridi's ear ?

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[IAJ]

Haris looks like Syed Iqrar ul hassan

From Sar e Aam? So is he syed? MashaAllah, didn't know that.

 

[Thivagar]

Afridi with sweep shot

 

[Justcrazy]

Afridi has reached his average score

 

[Sam18696]

What are those orange things in Afridi's ear ?

Ear plugs

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Yup , He is

 

[Smbhayi]

it's a machine, called crowd controller. .

 

[Justcrazy]

80 required 12 overs

 

[Bilal7]

80 off 12 overs. NZ got 79 off their last 10.

 

[the Great Khan]

Hows Haris doing? hope he's making me eat my words!!

 

[Sam18696]

Oooooh now I know why there isn't a crowd for Pak matches anymore: Afridi is batting sensibly now!

 

[Thivagar]

Expecting another 5 threads about Afirid's batting today.

 

[Sam18696]

Hows Haris doing? hope he's making me eat my words!!

3 away from 50

lol.. SunnY: "Error: 404 Boom Boom not found."

 

[Thivagar]

Mahela has no chance with Afridi's touch shots

His weakness against spin has nothing to do with what others do. This is a typical Pakistani attitude.

I'm not arguing that he has a weakness in spin. But that's in comparison to how much quality he has against pace. He's still better than a large sum of the batsmen on this current playing 11. Why focus on his weaknesses and mistakes when you have other players who struggle to play any delivery.

 

[Buffet]

These two needs to bat till the 45th over and Pakistan will easily win.

 

[Justcrazy]

Afridi batting with purpose , can he last ?

 

[Sam18696]

for Haris

 

[Thivagar]

Why cant Afridi atleast try to do this every match ?

 

[Mr Consistent]

fifty for harris

 

[Madplayer]

50 for haris. No helmets taken off..no exaggerated celebrations. This is the hunger of the guy. This is the class of the man.

 

[Juansar_07]

2 playing sensibly today.It is one of those 'Once in a blue moon' innings he mentioned few days ago.

 

[Mainul]

Milne is lightning fast!

 

[Barragan]

Great to see Haris get his 50 and show his worth as batman, plus why is he averaging so high domestically.

 

[amomin]

No need to take risks. Keep taking singles and take it down to the end. 73 off 66 is single double cricket

 

[Mr Consistent]

174-6
39 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

fifty for Harris

 

[Smbhayi]

fifty for haris and fifty partnership as well..

 

[the Great Khan]

Milne is lightning fast!

chucker

 

[Mr Consistent]

73 from 66

 

[prakash]

17 - Number of months after which Afridi has faced more than 25 balls in an innings. Last time was during his 76 v WI in July 2013

This is not once in a blue moon.

This is first time in his life.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

"Error: 404 Boom Boom not found" just saw this in cricinfo commentary...

 

[Smbhayi]

What's the last time afridi involved in a fifty partnership. ?

 

[Thivagar]

Milne can't pick up wickets

 

[yasir]

We are witnessing Beginning of first top class lefty middle order batsman from Pakistan!!! - He needs couple of innings to get hang to international cricket, because of crowded middle he has to wait for 4 years...

This was not an easy wicket, but he has shown what he offers!!

 

[Sam18696]

Boom boom is baaaaccckkk

 

[Mainul]

High domestic averaged batsman performs when given chance.Haris proves it again.Now its time to drop poor Asad and Younis and bring back Fawad and Umar

 

[imranraf]

That's not encouraging to see Haris Sohail struggling after fitness just after a fifty. These young ones need to hit the gym more often.

 

[Iffitheking]

Haris seems decent player...

 

[ask_analyse_act]

for Haris...go get a hundred pls

 

[Sam18696]

What's the last time afridi involved in a fifty partnership. ?

Hmm all I remember was 2 with Misbah against SA and WI

 

[Justcrazy]

Power Play would be important

 

[shakil]

Afridi is going to whack it when Haris gets his fifty

it has begun

 

[Smbhayi]

17 - Number of months after which Afridi has faced more than 25 balls in an innings. Last time was during his 76 v WI in July 2013

wow bloody 17 month.. anyway he has some match winning innings after that too..

 

[Bosch]

Mills bowling action mmmmmm
