What's new

Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st ODI | Rawalpindi | 27th April | New Zealand Innings

Chacha is a better bowler than Agha salman and will eventually replace him as the hitter.
 
ODI’s are torturous. The format was fun back in the india/pak sharjah cup days.
 
Imaad needs to be in this odi 11 over nawaz.

Nawaz cost Pakistan 2 matches in the last WC. No idea why he is still playing international cricket.

Babar keeps selecting his friends. Pakistanis players do this every time and form a clique and the performances keep getting worse because the ones in the clique don't get dropped.

He has been dropped from t20s.what are you talking about?look at his stats in odis for the past 2 years and compare it to the options we have
 
No idea how and why i enjoyed cricket back then.
Maybe shoaib akhtar and Wasim akram factor.

I keep saying it , it’s because they bought back this stupid two new ball rule and killed off any action for fast bowlers in the middle overs.

50 overs seems less fun because there’s no action for fast bowlers and instead of looking for wickets they have to go defensive.

It’s a shame because 50 overs is my favourite format.
 
Kiwis have lost all momentum in this innings

280 looks far away at the moment

Yes reverse swing will make it so much more interesting and pak will be lethal.
 
NZ’s best chance is Mitchell facing most deliveries at the end
 
Kiwis limping towards 290 here. Will not be enough I feel. 320 will be winning score considering NZ has pop gun attack.
 
The golden era of 50 overs was a time when fast bowlers were as entertaining as the batsman. You had the likes of the two Ws, Brett lee, gough, Ambrose, Donald etc but this stupid two new ball rule and flat pitches etc would have even made them fast bowlers defensive in their approach to try and restrict below ‘300’.

ICC morons seems to think games with massive scores is more appealing . But what they are doing is just killing off entertaining fast bowling . Why don’t you just put a bowling machine in front of the batsman.

You tell me what’s more entertaining , the bowler beating the edge through pace and swing/seam or a bowler having to bowl slower balls to avoid a boundary .

Agree the two new balls rule took excitement out of odis
 
What was Rizwan doing running all the way to fine leg to catch that???
 
Shan had a night out on the sauce - he's been absolutely woeful in the field.
 
Kiwis have more than enough as long as they bowl with concentration
 
Thabk god naseem got a couple of wickets
Bowled well in this game
 
Got to admit, these ODI's are getting too boring now. This was my favorite format back in 90's.
