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

[Iffitheking]

Why Pakistani left hand batsman are not free flowing? they look like they are forced to play left handed...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good start to over for sohail

 

[Amjid Javed]

8 runs per over should be achievable here

 

[Smbhayi]

Did you ever see afridi playing like this calm.. It's now officially his best innings after 2011..

 

[Madplayer]

Need this over to go for 12-14 runs

 

[Mr Consistent]

32 from 24 balls

 

[Amjid Javed]

32 needed from 24 balls

 

[PTI tsunami]

Sohail seems he has cramp

 

[FreeBird]

This may turn out to be the best Pak win in past 2-3 years. No chance anyone thought we would chase this.

This should send a message to Misbah fan boys that we can bat without his 24/7 TUK TUK, and still win a game.

 

[coy0607]

Afridi is disappointing me today- he is not even trying to smash

 

[asyed]

Afridi is disappointing me today- he is not even trying to smash

Are you crazy, he's playing with some sense today.

 

[Mainul]

Seniors are on the way out. He is a proper batman, not a slogger, we have very few of those....


All he need is couple of county season, he will be Gold!! - PCB is not even capable of that

He is already a gold in Pakistan's perspective!No need to think of county.His stat says it all.Fawd,Haris and Akmal these 3 together in middle order can do wonder. Just show the doors to Asad,Younis (keep him in test only)and Misbah

 

[Smbhayi]

Afridi is disappointing me today- he is not even trying to smash

did tried once and he missed that completely as usual. .

 

[FreeBird]

The required run rate would have been 12 an over now if Misbah had played a few more overs.

 

[Red Devil]

Did you ever see afridi playing like this calm.. It's now officially his best innings after 2011..

mA he's been brilliant and lets hope he can finish it for Pakistan, but this is just weird

 

[Amjid Javed]

30 off 22 needed, we need a boundary here

 

[Mr Consistent]

50 for afridi

 

[Big Mac]

well played Afridi

 

[Sam18696]

Most sensible 50 by Afridi

 

[Red Devil]

: for Lala, fantastic innings.

 

[Justcrazy]

27 from 20 balls

need a boundary

 

[m.shah]

218/6

 

[ritzy_123]

Our batting order should be and the team IMO

1) Ahmed Shehzad
2) Sarfaraz Ahmed
3) Misbah-ul-Haq
4) Sohaib Maqsood
5) Haris Sohail
6) Shoaib Malik
7) Umar Akmal
8) Shahid Afridi
9) Wahab Riaz
10) Ehsan Adil
11) Muhammad Irfan

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

50 to afridi

 

[Smbhayi]

30 off 22 needed, we need a boundary here

well Neesham will give you some extra runs under pressure situation. .

 

[Madplayer]

6 from the toe of the bat

 

[MRSN]

100 partnership between these two..

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Sam18696]

BOOOOOOMMM AFFRIIDIII

 

[Big Mac]

rofl right after they were moaning he hadn't hit a six

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

 

[Markhor]

"This should be taken" ? That was always going miles !

 

[Mamoon]

A dreadful day at the office for Misbah brigade.

 

[coy0607]

this is the Afridi we know and love!!

 

[Smbhayi]

Didn't notice afridi get a fifty there.. congrats well played

 

[Nado_]

Afridi not matter what people say you will always be the ultimate entertainer

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Respect for this inning Lala.

 

[Anchorman]

Heart in mouth moment there!

 

[Smbhayi]

yahoo boom boommm.

 

[Sam18696]

:widw

 

[Justcrazy]

I have got a feeling that there are not calm shots left in Afridi's bag anymore

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[shakil]

This was Afridi's second 50 without a six scored (out of 43 fifty+ innings)

 

[Lords]

Blame goes to lala, he had to play like this today??

What happened to good ole 3 ball lala.

 

[asyed]

Afridi played really well today but for me MOM is Haris. Simply because they way this guy has absorbed the pressure when others were in panic mode. Also not the mention his economical spell of bowling (which was a complete surprise for me, to be honest)

 

[Pete Rose]

What an excellent match

 

[Sam18696]

I'm really nervous

 

[Justcrazy]

Just need to keep cool

 

[Red Devil]

Wow what a cracking shot!

 

[Smbhayi]

If Pak wins this who'll be MOM.? I think it should be afridi..

 

[Sam18696]

 

[MarkCooper]

FOUR for boom boom

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[MRSN]

that wasn't needed.

 

[MarkCooper]

is boom boom gone

 

[Madplayer]

Damn you . afridi runout

 

[Red Devil]

Dang runout.

 

[ammar93]

Aww man what a crappy call.

 

[Mr Consistent]

direct hit out???

 

[Bilal7]

MashAllah! Great batting by both these batsmen!

 

[Sam18696]

Nooooooo

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

now Haris Sohail needs to finish this

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

afridi gone

 

[Gone]

Well batted afridi, first time ever I am seeing him playing sensibly (only followed him since around 2011).

 

[MRSN]

Brilliant innings big man.

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Watsupdoc]

Afridi didn't need to run that...

Come on Haris!

 

[Justcrazy]

Afridi played really well today but for me MOM is Haris. Simply because they way this guy has absorbed the pressure when others were in panic mode. Also not the mention his economical spell of bowling (which was a complete surprise for me, to be honest)

True

:tnumbsup

 

[Madplayer]

Haris please see us home bro.

 

[Markhor]

Daft run-out but credit where its due, that was a vital knock from Shahid Afridi.

 

[Smbhayi]

lol..

Kashif Siddiqui: "Boom Boom services has been restored! We apologized for any inconvenience that may have caused. Thank you for your patience!"

 

[Sam18696]

Cmon Haris!!

 

[Canistani Hero]

13 off 13 come on boys

 

[Mamoon]

There was never a run there.

 

[leatherface58]

Afridi has done enough. Congrats Pakistan!

 

[Anchorman]

Suicidal run by Shahid bhai.

 

[Madplayer]

Afridi didn't need to run that...

Come on Haris!

Lala's call

 

[m.shah]

Kashif Siddiqui: "Boom Boom services has
been restored! We apologized for any
inconvenience that may have caused. Thank
you for your patience!"

 

[Justcrazy]

[Bilal7]
