Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st ODI | Karachi | 9 January 2023 | New Zealand Innings

Kiwis keep losing wickets at wrong time, but good going by Pakistan. Dangerman in now.
 
Good captaincy by Babar in the middle overs. Kept kiwis in check. Now wicket too.
 
Haris is an average ODI bowler

He wouldn't start if Shaheen is fit enough
 
After those two sixes against VK, he look like a rat.
Will fade away from national team soon.

I thought he bowled very well in the WC Final. Too much hype about those 2 sixes. People need to get over it

he is getting a free ride in ODIs , he will be T20 specialist and thats it..

He doesnt have the experience for the other formats... His T20 performances is being awarded with place in ODI and Tests where he couldnt perform which is obvious...
 
What has happend to him? He was pretty decent when he started off. Especially his knowledge about local players was good.

This is an evolution of pak commentators. Rambo was decent in the late 90s/early 2000s. Then he thought it would be a great idea to swallow a cliche book

Nah he is a decent T20 bowler

Wasim Jr has out bowled him in this format in last three series
 
Another big wicket for Usama.
One more and if Pakistan win he will be in contention for MoTM

He was great in the WC final.

His issue is that he hasn't yet figured out how to bowl in longer formats.....he's a T20 specialist as of now.
 
Babar has been spot on with his bowling changes so far.

For some reason Babar manages to make things work decently well in the white ball format for Pakistan.

He might not be the most tactically astute but he seems to get everyone giving 100% for him.

Yes because he is best in his playing department and no one can question his abilities. So everyone try there best to reach near his performances. A good omen
 
A miss by Rizwan - where are the wicket-keeping watch warriors?

ODI has always been his format, seems to have the eye for it.

The difference between PAK's bowling attacks in the various formats is night and day. The shorter the format, the more threatening PAK bowlers look.

Usama looks decent as did Usman Qadir. Some very decent leggies being produced in white ball cricket by PAK.

What is more obvious is that performers in PSL and Pakistan Cup are able to replicate that at international level.

However, QEA performances don't seem to be a good indicator for Test performances, especially bowlers.
 
NZ on course for 270/280, will be a good challenge for Pak batsmen.
 
Philips is the quickest runner between wickets in world cricket right now no one comes close
 
Garbage Haris Rauf

Why does he bowl round the wicket to left hander. It is an easy angle to bat against unless you can straighten the ball from that angle
 
You need patience in odi cricket which haris still doesn’t have bowling 4 overs is easy with pace as players are bound to go after you every ball
 
More difficult for Bracewell when Naseem is bowling over the wicket. Club level bowler Haris
 
Glenn Phillips just not able to time anything. Poor innings from him.
 
Wicket. That was coming. Both bracewell and Phillips looked uncomfortable vs Naseem.
 
Naseem is such a smart bowler some bowler this kid. What he said after the last test match was something no fan could ever think only players who play the game know such things.
 
Wasim is the better bowler today compared to Haris. Babar finished his spell with 7 and going to give Haris his full quota of 10 who is going at over 6 RPO just for the sake of death over bowling. If Wasim takes a wicket or two death over bowling just goes out of the equation if NZL are bowled out.

Once again Babar can't read match situation
 
Nseem again! [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] will be annoyed.

Wasim maybe a fake all rounder but he is deadly death bowler miles better than rauf he has a beast of a Yorker Babar would be dumb to not bowl out his quota
 
Though not impossible, 270 looking out of reach, need to reassess to 250 but that might be tough too.
 
All this will mean nothing if we can't win the WC. Mentally this team crumbles in WC cricket.
 
Round the wicket garbage from Haris Rauf

Brainless stuff from him
 
Shah's toil in red ball cricket has been worth it for him
 
Haris has been little short of brilliant in T20s, so lets not right him off,he needs more experience in longer format but should not need to play him in Tests.

With such a long batting lineup 280 should had been possible for NZ, but Pakistani bowlers bowled well and some of NZ batters were slow to get a move on.

No one can perform every game. Haris is a gun white ball bowler. Period.
 
Naseem the destroyer

I’ve never gotten the idea of keeping mid on or mid off up especially at this stage
