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

[Sakss]

Pakistan need to score 247 to win. :ahmed

 

[NZcricketfan]

The neesh needs to be re-leashed. Horrible form

 

[Madplayer]

Hope the young guns fire today. Especially haris scoring big here would be great news

 

[Swanny]

Set set for a yk masrerclass

 

[Swanny]

* masterclass

 

[pakistani pride]

I hope they aim to chase it down in 45 overs.

NZ playing just 2 specialist bowlers !

 

[Aman]

30 too short imo.

 

[Aman]

The neesh needs to be re-leashed. Horrible form

You can add Brownlie and Devich to the list. Surely we have better batsmen in the domestics?

 

[NZcricketfan]

30 too short imo.

Average score is 230. Not as bad a score as you think

 

[hussain.r97]

Pakistan should chase this down, however you can expect anything from then in green.

 

[Aman]

I can't believe we're not giving Latham a run as an opener.

 

[Aman]

Average score is 230. Not as bad a score as you think

Dew, 2 pacers and Neesham.

 

[Pro Era]

Predictions for Shafiq and YK? Both under 20 runs.

 

[Aman]

[MENTION=68271]NZcricketfan[/MENTION] [MENTION=95766]leatherface58[/MENTION] where is Watling in all of this, he can't do much worse than some of the mugs we have in the team now.

 

[Aman]

Shehzad and Hafeez will go good imo.

 

[Energetic]

I just checked the stats of the 2 teams for ODIs and Pakistan simply have the much better players and a load of experience. Shehzad is better than any NZ youngster in terms of talent.

You sure about that.

 

[Aman]

Yeah, of course he is.

 

[Energetic]

Hafeez enjoys batting more than bowling so he will be more focused now.

 

[Aman]

Mills opening, gah.

Wanted to see Milne bowl a few before I went to sleep...

 

[Madplayer]

240 is quite chasable

 

[Energetic]

Shehzad already has 6 ODI 100s. If he plays regularly then the guy will get better and better. What makes him stand-out is his toughness. I admit this as a non-Pak fan.

6 ODI 100's at an average of mid 30's and SR of under 80 isn't anything great.

 

[Aman]

Just to show how easy it is to score 100's these days - AB, QDK and now Rosco have scored 3 consecutive hundreds in the last 5 years..

 

[Aman]

last 4 years actually.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

so Sarfraz did well against Australia opening but dropped down the order for chuddi buddy hafeez...amazing

 

[Aman]

Time for some pace, hopefully Milne goes all out.

I don't care if he get's smashed

 

[Mr Consistent]

maiden over

 

[Madplayer]

Just to show how easy it is to score 100's these days - AB, QDK and now Rosco have scored 3 consecutive hundreds in the last 5 years..

Not bad for an opener. How many 40+ averaging openers do u have who strike at over 80?

 

[Aman]

142 so far.

 

[Madplayer]

Sorry wrong quote

 

[Aman]

Not bad for an opener. How many 40+ averaging openers do u have who strike at over 80?

Watson, Rohit, Dhawan, QDK and AB.

 

[Aman]

Amla*

 

[Sam18696]

Bye bye Hafeez

 

[Hamza_]

This guy is a quality bowler. What a great young talent.

 

[leatherface58]

Milne bowls good stuff. Now he needs to start adding to the wickets column.

 

[Hawkeye]

Hafeez the tailender in top order continues to embarrass us.

Bunny against pace.

 

[Mr Consistent]

1 from the over
1-0
2 overs

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Wow Misbah is batting down low for once =|

 

[Logical]

So all top 7 Pak batsmen have a strike rate less than 76.


Does no one actually bring this huge flaw up when the team is getting selected?

 

[Sohaib011]

Phus phus batting

 

[Aman]

We have Guptil and Ryder.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Hafeez the usual.Blees

 

[Hamza_]

Both openers are pathetic.

 

[Madplayer]

Watson, Rohit, Dhawan, QDK and AB.

None of them are permanent openers. And all of them dont average over 40 me thinks

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan batsmen have such poor averages

 

[Arsal_AK]

*blessed in all facets.

 

[Sam18696]

Looks like we aren't going to win.

 

[DarkKnightRisesAgain]

Haha Hafeez as usual seems lost against decent pacy bowler, Pathetic!

 

[Justcrazy]

Just Pathetic batting , no intent.

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

And people want Hafeez as a batsman in Australia

 

[desi_launda]

classy start

 

[Madplayer]

A run in 3 overs.lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Haha Hafeez as usual seems lost against decent pacy bowler, Pathetic!

How they are playing him shocks me .

 

[Justcrazy]

1 / 0

just 3 overs

 

[DarkKnightRisesAgain]

The END is near for Hafeez

 

[Mr Consistent]

another maiden

 

[Madplayer]

And moin wants Hafeez as a batsman in Australia

Fixed

 

[asyed]

What the F, we're in dam 3rd over and still it's 1. What a shame. Is this how you chase (to bring unnecessary pressure not only on yourself but also on the team?)

 

[Sam18696]

Dropped. Hafeez gets a life.

 

[imranraf]

now wait for a risky shot and wicket loss. This is such a poor strategy by these batsman. There was the chance as I type it.

 

[Arsal_AK]

And people want Hafeez as a batsman in Australia

Imagine him playing there. Horror.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Pakistan RR 0.33

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Hafeez dropped

 

[Aman]

Great attempt by Latham.

 

[Smbhayi]

Just to show how easy it is to score 100's these days - AB, QDK and now Rosco have scored 3 consecutive hundreds in the last 5 years..

not actually...

 

[Justcrazy]

Dropped !!!

hafeez survives

 

[Aman]

Milne has already bowled the fastest delivery of the day

 

[the Great Khan]

this milne looks like a chucker.

 

[Mr Consistent]

tough chance

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez is pathetic against Pace

 

[Aman]

not actually...

We can all agree though it's easier to score hundreds these days? No?

 

[leatherface58]

this milne looks like a chucker.

Not a Pakistani

 

[Logical]

This is a pure batsmans game unless you are watching Pak bat.

 

[asyed]

What a shame, Mills kind of bowler bowling maiden overs, it describes our batting.

 

[Lords]

First time, runs are more than the number of overs

 

[Arsal_AK]

Hafeez)

 

[Aman]

150ks

 

[Aman]

Good shot by Shehzad.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sufiyan Ghori: "Hafeez should be informed that he is still allowed to bat."
