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

[mithun_minhas]

This is a beautiful pitch to bat on.

 

[Mamoon]

This time will win the World Cup.

 

[saad32170]

We need fast bowlers with simple actions. Look at Tanvirs and Wahabs, no real line and lenght and swing. Look at milne or henry. Basic action which helps them with speed, line and lenght and swing.

 

[Mr Consistent]

1 run from the lala over

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Zabardast Lala Now Harris please bowl a tight over plzzzzzz........

 

[Azrim91]

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.

mate, I am pakistani british, and been watching pakistan for a good solid 15 years, plus I play the highest amateur level of cricket here in the UK, so I'd think I know what average is. tell me the last time Junaid one a ODI game single handed? India 2012? just one occasion?? I think so. I think majority of us would also remember when wahab took 5 wickets in the SF of the world cup 2011. Point being, they're all average. period

 

[menace2society]

We need right handed pacers.

Left handers are a novelty and variation to support.

Pakistan think tank are stupid to produce so many left handers. Complete idiots.

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[Sam18696]

Bakwaas bowling

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Haris is actually not bowling bad for a part timer

The outch is a belter

20-3 LOL

 

[blackanhyellow]

We need right handed pacers.

Left handers are a novelty and variation to support.

Pakistan think tank are stupid to produce so many left handers. Complete idiots.

wth. wasim was a supporting novelty act? Its not about being left handed or right handed, if you are a good bowler then you will take wickets and lead your attack.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

With all due respect, you can't expect bits and pieces bowlers to bowl 10 overs.

Sure Haris worked last time, but he wont' work every time.

Flawed strategy.

 

[Mr Consistent]

lala bowling well here

 

[Mr Consistent]

phainta boundary

 

[Mr Consistent]

So we should just pack our back and go home right No point in playing since a 'British Pakistani' thinks that we certainly do not have any good enough bowler to represent us at the national level. Yes! we should certainly do that.

P.S. That last over in SA where we defended 9 runs off Duminy and Miller helped Pak secure a series win on that soil and the first Asian team to do so. The latter two batsman are also heads and tails above Devchich and Brownie so yes Junaid is certainly average. You analogy is spot on

 

[Mamoon]

Irfan is ridiculously overrated on this forum.

Wahab is a poor man's Johnson at best and cannot be expected to show consistency.

Junaid has gone downhill as well and Gul is simply past his prime.

Anwar and Bhatti are rubbish while Tanvir is just a T20 specialist.

Our ODI pace attack is mediocre to the last degree.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

With all due respect, you can't expect bits and pieces bowlers to bowl 10 overs.

Flawed strategy.

When you are 20-3 on a flat phatta track then you have a flawed batting strategy

 

[menace2society]

wth. wasim was a supporting novelty act? Its not about being left handed or right handed, if you are a good bowler then you will take wickets and lead your attack.

Wasim is a once in a generation bowler.

Left handers are a novelty piece, not the main course.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

That Nasir Jamshed account is epic.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wahab will never learn

 

[Dr_Bassim]

When you are 20-3 on a flat phatta track then you have a flawed batting strategy

Doesn't matter if you are 20-3 or 200-0.

Your bowlers looking innocuous is a bad omen for World Cup.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Hafeez's lack of bowling ability is really hurting us big time here

 

[Azrim91]

So we should just pack our back and go home right No point in playing since a 'British Pakistani' thinks that we certainly do not have any good enough bowler to represent us at the national level. Yes! we should certainly do that.

no don't pack your bags... deal with what you have! and just work on them and try to improve on their weaknesses.

 

[menace2society]

Hafeez and Ajmal are badly needed to balance this nonsensical left handed trundling mess.

 

[Justcrazy]

Big win possible here for Kiwis

 

[asadee]

Junaid is far better than all 3 of them

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

no don't pack your bags... deal with what you have! and just work on them and try to improve on their weaknesses.

If this is the case, why are you even here then since you clearly believe that we are not good enough. Why waste your time on something so mediocre. ???

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[Thivagar]

Missed Afridi's Blitzkrieg again

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis motoring along here.

 

[ares1000]

This is humiliation. NZ are killing Pak. Our top order sucks, our bowlers are average. NZ always seem to bounce back. This game is done.

 

[Asif321]

need Junaid back badly, Tanvir is not odi bowler why they keep.selecting him useless bowler

 

[Abdullah]

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!

If we go with your rationale
4 average and 2 novice bowlers or 5 average and 1 novice bowler

It does make a difference- average means that you have highs and lows in equal measure. If one of the 4 is having a bad day maybe the 5th will have their good day?! At least you have a different option to change things up.

Do not try to tell us this makes no difference

 

[Mamoon]

If this is the case, why are you even here then since you clearly believe that we are not good enough. Why waste your time on something so mediocre. ???

Should I pack my bags too?

 

[menace2society]

These bowling averages says it all really, an undercooked bowling unit. WE HAD 4 YEARS TO PREPARE. WHAT DO THESE SELECTORS DO WHEN THEY TURN UP FOR WORK?

 

[Mr Consistent]

100 up for nz

 

[mithun_minhas]

First 100 Run opening stand in almost 3 yrs for Kiwis

 

[Asif321]

hate to see tanvir in pakisan one.day team

 

[Justcrazy]

100 up

what a stand !!!

Noball & Free hit time

You're are at least a Pakistani but a highly pessimist one so you can stay and suffer with me on this horror show. He was a foreigner trying to be a cute troll.... nothing else. Plus I am not in good mode right now since this will ruin the 10-0 streak in Sharjah

P.S. Junaid is a good bowler, have faith in him and he will turn our fortunes around. Trust me on this on!!!!!

 

[Zaad]

pathetic bowling by Pakistan

 

[Azrim91]

If we go with your rationale
4 average and 2 novice bowlers or 5 average and 1 novice bowler

It does make a difference- average means that you have highs and lows in equal measure. If one of the 4 is having a bad day maybe the 5th will have their good day?! At least you have a different option to change things up.

Do not try to tell us this makes no difference

and would you except junaid khan/ saeed ajmal/irfan/gul/ etc to score a handy 15-20 runs considering out batsman NEVER turn up?

 

[NZcricketfan]

Always good when players who would struggle to make the team punish the ind ... I mean pakistani bowlers

 

[Mamoon]

Okay.

If you say Junaid is the best of the lot, I'll concur but he's not a top quality bowler by any means.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

This drinks break......make or break situation here, we clearly need a miracle right now

 

[Azrim91]

If this is the case, why are you even here then since you clearly believe that we are not good enough. Why waste your time on something so mediocre. ???

as i said, improve on their weaknesses. people like wahab sometimes lack the mental toughness to deal with bad period of bowling. Cricket is more than just ball and bat my friend.

 

[Barragan]

Such a shame that Ehsan keeps breaking down.

What is wrong with the guy?

Would have been a much better option than tanvir and as for Wahab, he was improving, but what has happened?

 

[Thivagar]

Devichich has the best facial hair in Cricket

 

[asadee]

Out

 

[Thivagar]

LALA for Wicket !!!

 

[Mr Consistent]

wicket for Boom Boom

 

[mithun_minhas]

Beast strikes.

What a bowler.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Afridi strikes.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Okay.

If you say Junaid is the best of the lot, I'll concur but he's not a top quality bowler by any means.

Thank you Thank you....... as I right this Afridi My man take the 1st wicket for the game............

P.S. I never claim Junaid to be a world beater but clearly the best of the lot without a shadow of a doubt.

 

[Mamoon]

Such a shame that Ehsan keeps breaking down.

What is wrong with the guy?

Would have been a much better option than tanvir and as for Wahab, he was improving, but what has happened?

Wahab will always get carted once in a while. Can't expect him to bowl economically every day.

 

[Justcrazy]

wicket at last

 

[Mamoon]

Afridi is the soul of this team.

Underrated and under-appreciated.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Common guys Common Guys FFS spring yourselves to life here

 

[Justcrazy]

105 / 1

19 overs

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

we need wickets in a hurry. More like 4-5 in a cluster.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Afridi what a guy

 

[Zaad]

afridi is the only one that looks to be taking wickets

 

[Mr Consistent]

50 for molana saab

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Afridi is the soul of this team.

Underrated and under-appreciated.

Gotta say I don't like Afridi, but one cannot deny he's got style with right amount of substance.

 

[Barragan]

Wahab will always get carted once in a while. Can't expect him to bowl economically every day.

Not expecting him to bowl economically every game, but he was showing signs of improvement and I was hoping he would improve even further.

We need him to be at his best in the WC and very accurate.

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs runs leaking

 

[GreenRage]

With That Shot The Game Has Gone To New Zealand

 

[Mr Consistent]

112-1
20 0vers

 

[Mamoon]

Gotta say I don't like Afridi, but one cannot deny he's got style with right amount of substance.

When he is gone, his presence will be missed.

 

[Justcrazy]

for Devich

 

[Mamoon]

Not expecting him to bowl economically every game, but he was showing signs of improvement and I was hoping he would improve even further.

We need him to be at his best in the WC and very accurate.

I think he has peaked.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Williamson reminds me of a young Sachin. That is how Tendu used to play in 1990-91.

 

[ExplicitAI]

We should have taken about 3-4 wickets at this stage..

 

[asadee]

Wahab the ordinary giving a glare

 

[NZcricketfan]

A stare from wahab going at 9 an over

 

[GreenRage]

You Delete My Threads PakPassion But What I Said Was Not Wrong At All This Wahab Riaz Is Totally Useless.
