Pakistan v New Zealand | 2nd ODI | Sharjah | December 12, 2014 | New Zealand Innings

[Batman]

Pakistan made 252 all out.

New Zealand to chase 253 in 50 overs.

Is it enough to defend or New Zealand will chase that down?

 

[pakistani pride]

Need one of those special afridi spells @ sharjah !

Can he do it?

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Recent history at Sharjah suggests that Pakistan should defend this. However if NZ don't lose wickets early then Pak's part timers/the 5th bowler will be under a lot of pressure.

 

[90MPH]

Def not enough on this pitch.

Pak need early breakthroughs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis have the edge with good depth in batting.

 

[blackanhyellow]

itll be tough to defend with 4 bowlers and part timers. Needed more like 280. Hopefully fastbowlers get wickets upfront.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwi openers in the middle.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would need to hold on to the chances created by Bowlers

 

[Justcrazy]

2 from first over

[Justcrazy]

Irfan hammered.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwi openers looking confident

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

hope misbah has nothing serious, any potenital absence from him will be used an excuse from the ttfs to keep playing

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need a couple of early wickets here or kiwis will find this chase very easy,

[ahmedwaqas92]

That was Nasty

 

[Justcrazy]

more

 

[Barragan]

That was a brute of a delivery!

 

[mithun_minhas]

I can see Irfan bowling a lot of no-balls in Worldcup unintentionally.

If Irfan can make batsmen jump in the air in Dubai, almost every ball will be over shoulder height in Aus.

nope

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[mithun_minhas]

Devcic stance and style reminds me of Fawad a bit.

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[Barragan]

Irfan overusing the short length.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

some terrible bowling on display here....pies

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

they used the short ball, so we must use the short ball also #pakistanilogc

 

[habibi hayya]

phantty time.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I think this pitch was very easy because Hafeez got 75 on it.

Most of it was ineptitude at the top

And lower down NZ bowled really well.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

this was a 300 run pitch it seems....looks too easy out there.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Toollkit outbowling Irfan here

 

[Justcrazy]

Very sensible batting by Openers here.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Pak bowlers giving a lot of freebies.

 

[Mr Consistent]

35 after 7 overs.

Very smooth chase so far

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

[Mr Consistent]

poor ball & boundary

[Mr Consistent]

41-0 after 8 overs

 

[Mr Consistent]

good shot phainty

 

[Barragan]

Looks like 280+ pitch.

 

[JibranAnsari]

three left arm quick bowlers , no variety in the attack and the angle.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Looks like 280+ pitch.

More like a 300 one to me

 

[Mr Consistent]

another boundary

 

[menace2society]

Where are the right handed pacers? What is this one dimensional pace attack. Waqar you lazy idiot, where are the Right arm pacers?

 

[Mr Consistent]

50 up for nz

 

[Barragan]

More like a 300 one to me

We deserve to lose for not putting up a high score on a dead pitch.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Lol I think most PPer's don't want to see us bowl.

They have departed already.

 

[Mr Consistent]

again phainty

 

[Justcrazy]

Nothing happening , this was 300 run pitch.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Wahab bowling 135 pie....

To get punished for 4.

 

[Mr Consistent]

embarrassing stuff

 

[m.shah]

54/0

 

[Justcrazy]

Both the openers have carer average of just 17 , yet looking so good.

 

[Pete Rose]

Too many lefty pacers. Wahab doing his thing

 

[Mr Consistent]

phaintaaa

 

[mithun_minhas]

Wahab Aaron back to his wayward ways.

 

[Mamoon]

Irfan and Wahab will get carted at the World Cup on flat surfaces.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pathetic batting effort. 315 was par.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Spray gun can't believe people here were claiming this garbage of a bowler was better than Junaid.

 

[Mr Consistent]

63-0
10 overs

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Toothless bowling attack

That's why you need Junaid...just can't come in bowl with pace and always expect results

Plus no backup plan

 

[Azrim91]

Spray gun can't believe people here were claiming this garbage of a bowler was better than Junaid.

I'll say it again. makes no difference who you choose.... every pakistani bowler is just the same... very average!!! juanid, gul, wahab, irfan... all very average... maybe irfan slightly better than the rest and tanvir below the others... but allllll tooo average!

 

[Justcrazy]

brings himself on now.

True.

Pakistan producing average players at best

 

[Abdullah]

Guys- this is why we need 5/6 proper bowlers- Riaz can go Awry sometimes - so we need to stop dreaming that we can get away with 4 plus shehzad/haris/younus/
We need hafeez to sort his issues out

 

[Mr Consistent]

4 runs from the lala over

 

[Azrim91]

did you not read what i said? 6 average bowlers or 4 average bowlers... make no difference.. you just produce same old average plus you take away another human being who can pick up a bat!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Haris Sohail is make or break for Pak in this game.

If he can bowl very well, NZ can be grounded.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kiwis walking away with game here with ease, in comparison the fact we have tailenders batting early on means we got off to slow start in comparison.

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[asadee]

YK Asad Tanvir and Wahab shud not be in this team

 

[Mamoon]

Spray gun can't believe people here were claiming this garbage of a bowler was better than Junaid.

Junaid is nothing special either. He has gone downhill in the last year.

We don't have any top pacers. Irfan and Wahab are both ordinary and the former is ridiculously overrated.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

You have no clue what you just said there do you now. This so called 'average' bowler called junaid helped us win matches from dead and buried positions in his career. Something Wahab can only dream off to achieve. Anyways, you're English I expect you to be not up to speed with our bowling resources.
