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

[Caved12]

Tom should have sent Chapman at 4

 

[ethan hunt]

He needs a slower ball fast

He just needs to trust his length bowling more.He hasn’t perfected the yorker. Should stick to hard length and bouncers at pace. Can develop a slower ball later.

 

[Rana]

Shadab’s brother’s hair is like Jonny Bravo

 

[ethan hunt]

Chacha is a better bowler than Agha salman and will eventually replace him as the hitter.

 

[Rana]

Latham is struggling out here

 

[zarak]

Latham been bad all series

 

[Marooned]

Our fielding has been absolutely garbage.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

To those saying Shaheen's angle is dodgy.

Dale Steyn dissected it well.

[ethan hunt]

ODI’s are torturous. The format was fun back in the india/pak sharjah cup days.

 

[Rana]

Big chance for Latham to take down nawaz

 

[Rana]

Mitchell In the mood now

 

[Marooned]

Imaad needs to be in this odi 11 over nawaz.

 

[imshally81]

Out and reviewed

 

[Rana]

Just go Latham

Total waste of time

 

[Champ_Pal]

Latham is badly out of form. He does not deserve a place in the team on his current form.

 

[sindhiboy]

terrible innings from latham

 

[Rana]

Ball starting to keep low now

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

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.

You wouldn't be able to sit through a full ODI from that era now. Watching highlights is not the same.

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

 

[Rana]

Great hundred Mitchell

 

[Rana]

Shaheen much quicker now

 

[imshally81]

2nd boundary in the over...

100 for Mitchell..

 

[Rana]

Ball is reversing now

 

[zarak]

Shukar, Shaheen still has a yard of pace in him.

 

[Rana]

Naseem needs to keep doing what he does

Not these cutters

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pitch getting easier to bat on I think. Not holding as much as it did earlier on this surface.

 

[ethan hunt]

The ball is reversing from shaheens end. Rauf has a chance

No idea how and why i enjoyed cricket back then.
Maybe shoaib akhtar and Wasim akram factor.

 

[imshally81]

Waseem Jnr should play in the place of rauf..

 

[imshally81]

Out...

Unnecessary shot

 

[Rana]

Big wicket

Chapman got a start and missed out

 

[Rana]

A difficult wicket to get a start on

 

[Rana]

300 will feel like 360 here

 

[Rana]

What do you recon? Wicket has lost all its pace?

 

[zarak]

300 will feel like 360 here

What is a par score on this track

 

[Nado_]

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.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lots of pace variation by PAK bowlers to restrict NZ.

 

[imshally81]

NZ batsman are choking now

 

[zarak]

What do you recon? Wicket has lost all its pace?

Ball could be old too. Have to make the new ball count.

 

[Rana]

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.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 openers lol

 

[imshally81]

Pakistan's bowling rate is very low

 

[Rana]

NZ’s best chance is Mitchell facing most deliveries at the end

 

[Rana]

That was one hell of a shot by Nichols

 

[Champ_Pal]

Kiwis limping towards 290 here. Will not be enough I feel. 320 will be winning score considering NZ has pop gun attack.

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Instead of picking 4 openers, pick Ifti up.

 

[Rana]

300 should be enough I recon

 

[Nado_]

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 .

 

[Deewana Mastana]

NZ slowed down so much that they wouldn't get to 300 as at one stage it seemed they'll get 330.

 

[Rana]

Shane’s fielding has been a joke

 

[JibranAnsari]

Has naseem bowled on a different pitch

 

[Sunzi]

Shan Masood. Ridiculous.

 

[imshally81]

Hilarious fielding

Agree the two new balls rule took excitement out of odis

 

[Sunzi]

Shan Masood. Ridiculous.

Compounded by a comedic catch attempt by SSA.

 

[Rana]

What was Rizwan doing running all the way to fine leg to catch that???

 

[Rana]

Rauf has bowled decent in his final spell

 

[Rana]

Shan Masood is pure bants

 

[asadee]

Shaheen’s fielding has regressed since his return from injury

 

[Rana]

Very sloppy by Pakistan

Hor Khelo 5 t20s!!

 

[Major]

Strong winds in pindi so might rain

 

[Rana]

Shan Masood hahahahaha

 

[Sunzi]

Shan had a night out on the sauce - he's been absolutely woeful in the field.

 

[reversehook]

naseem shah is the worst review taker... by a mile...

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[asadee]

Is Shan playing as an opener?

 

[Rana]

Kiwis have more than enough as long as they bowl with concentration

 

[Sunzi]

Happy for Naseem; his stint deserved a wicket or two.

 

[Major]

Thabk god naseem got a couple of wickets
Bowled well in this game

 

[imshally81]

Another bowled... Naseem on a hat trick...

 

[Rana]

Naseem celebrating his 2fer as if he’s taken a 5fer

 

[zarak]

Kiwis have more than enough as long as they bowl with concentration

Due

 

[Champ_Pal]

That is a very poor end for NZ innings. Should be an easy win for Pakistan under lights.

 

[reversehook]

atleast one buddy performed...

 

[zarak]

Kiwis have more than enough as long as they bowl with concentration

No Santner, I think we could milk our way to victory

 

[NeVerMind]

Naseem celebrating his 2fer as if he’s taken a 5fer

Kid didn't have the best time in the T20s but has been very miserly today and bowled well so let him enjoy his couple of wickets....

 

[Champ_Pal]

Got to admit, these ODI's are getting too boring now. This was my favorite format back in 90's.
