[Hitman]

Will Ten HD broadcast the match?

 

[Mir jibran]

drop shafiq today for the sake of pakistan

 

[Sherlock]

Will Ten HD broadcast the match?

Should do as they've been broadcasting all of the Int' this year. Watch it on Youtube too

 

[Sakss]

I think the only change would be Umar Akmal coming in

 

[Madplayer]

Did the toss take place

 

[Batman]

Should be bowl first as there was lots of dew in the last game.

 

[Kakar]

Just one change. Umar Akmal in for Misbah. I hope we don't injure Irfan.

 

[Sherlock]

Toss taking place in next few minutes.

 

[crick23]

Pakistan won the toss and will bat first

 

[Kakar]

Batting first.

 

[shahidafridi123]

One change for PAK. Misbah out, Umar Akmal in.

 

[Aman]

Guptill back but I feel this is a weaker team with Milne and Vettori out.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Not disapointed to lose toss since the dew was pretty significant last time

 

[Sherlock]

Pakistan win toss and Bat. 1 change Umar Akmal in for Misbah.

 

[Shafi]

Looks like management wants both Younis and Asad (TTFs) will be World cup 2015 squad

 

[shahidafridi123]

3 changes for NZ. Milne, Brownlie, Vettori out, Nathan McCullum,Martin Guptil and Neesham in.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Guptill back but I feel this is a weaker team with Milne and Vettori out.

no milne? May not even watch it now

 

[Asif321]

YK ,shafiq and tanvir all of them.still in kill me

 

[Aman]

no milne? May not even watch it now

I'm going to watch the first few overs then call it a night. These games aren't worth staying up tbh.

 

[Barragan]

So, U. Akmal will be batting at no. 6 again?

Can't believe, shafiq and younis have been given so many chances at the top but yet, have failed to deliver on multiple occasions and are still retained.

Hope Henry and Mitchell embarrass these two again!

 

[Asif321]

look how NZ are giving chances to everyone and look at our team

 

[Aman]

Hafeez is still there?

 

[Swanny]

Not sure why vettori was left out.

 

[90MPH]

Stupid to Pick YK and Asad again. NJ should have replaced 1 of them - at least hes a good timer of the ball.

Bowling attack is too 1 dimensional as well. Needs at least 1 right hand fast bowler.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

how is this possible? why oh why?

This is pure torture, who in there right frame of mind will wake up to watch Shafiq and Younis bat in an ODI, Shafiq should just retire from ODI's, truly embarrassing himself..damn it

 

[Aman]

Not sure why vettori was left out.

He's played quite a bit of cricket lately, they don't want to over do it and have him get injured before the WC. Milne will probably play one more match in this series, probably the last ODI imo.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Stupid to Pick YK and Asad again. NJ should have replaced 1 of them - at least hes a good timer of the ball.

Bowling attack is too 1 dimensional as well. Needs at least 1 right hand fast bowler.

I don't know why Ehsan Adil is not being tried in the ODI's

 

[Aman]

I thought Hafeez was going home? I was looking forward to seeing NJ bat.

 

[90MPH]

I don't know why Ehsan Adil is not being tried in the ODI's

I think he's injured.

 

[Aman]

Has Williamson lost all 5 tosses so far in this series?

 

[Aman]

Brownlie was actually starting to score some runs before they dropped him for Neesham..

 

[Aman]

We've only won one toss this tour

 

[mmkextreme_1]

I think he's injured.

I thought he had recovered and was available for the ODIs?

Feeling like pulling my hair out, I mean these ttfs will HAVE to perform in 1 match, its just the law of averages..how can the team management do this..YK and Shafiq NEED TO GO!

 

[Theo_14]

Not sure why vettori was left out.

Because NZ are a proper cricket team. They are testing out players unlike Pakistan.

 

[Anchorman]

I thought Hafeez was coming back to Pakistan.

 

[Space Cat]

NZ have only won 1 toss all tour.

 

[Madplayer]

why isnt hafeez on his bike to Pakistan mate?
:chisti

 

[Swanny]

Brownlie should have played instead of neesham. Unfair to drop him after a decent last match. Played irfan very well imo.

 

[Shafi]

Why PTV hosts never point out failure of Shafiq and Younis but they always criticize Misbah, Akmal and Afridi.

 

[Justcrazy]

I don't know why Ehsan Adil is not being tried in the ODI's

Mistake of management

 

[Justcrazy]

why isnt hafeez on his bike to Pakistan mate?
:chisti

This is really sad

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis & Shafiq still in team )

 

[Justcrazy]

NZ have only won 1 toss all tour.

Still are doing well , even Toss does not help pakistan.

 

[Justcrazy]

Some swing there first ball.

 

[Hitman]

Everyone here, expect a 150+ score from Younis today.

 

[akamaka]

Younis & Shafiq still in team )

no one left in squad to replace them with.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan Management not keen on testing , same faces there even after Four years.

 

[Swanny]

Damn just checked NZ are playing with just 3 specialist bowlers.
Pak should score 280+ here easily.

 

[Justcrazy]

no one left in squad to replace them with.

That is failure of management

 

[Justcrazy]

Damn just checked NZ are playing with just 3 specialist bowlers.
Pak should score 280+ here easily.

They back themselves to chase that down

 

[Justcrazy]

Rameez praising Hafeez .....

 

[Energetic]

Another flat pitch.

 

[pak4life]

need a century from the top five. A 50-60 is simply not good enough in the modern odi.

 

[DarkKnightRisesAgain]

Stupid to Pick YK and Asad again. NJ should have replaced 1 of them - at least hes a good timer of the ball.

Bowling attack is too 1 dimensional as well. Needs at least 1 right hand fast bowler.

NJ is a liability, anyone with an iota of brain won't hesitate to put shafiq ahead of NJ because the later is such a hack!

 

[Justcrazy]

So Pakistan Management have decieded that Hafeez will play as Opener against India in WC .

 

[Justcrazy]

NJ is a liability, anyone with an iota of brain won't hesitate to put shafiq ahead of NJ because the later is such a hack!

Asad is no world beater .

 

[Justcrazy]

9/0

2 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Dew may again hurt Pakistan later.

 

[Hamza_]

Why is it so tough for management to understand that you are in team due to your performance. Younis Khan simply don't have any in ODI Format.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hooked ..
Shezad survives !!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Why is it so tough for management to understand that you are in team due to your performance. Younis Khan simply don't have any in ODI Format.

The Pakistan management does not have brains , only ego.

 

[Sam18696]

What the heck IS Shehzad doing?

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Whats wrong with Shahzad?

I hope he doesn't fail in the upcoming WC, his record in the WC is abysmal, needs to rectify it.

Hope he doesn't lose form, that would disastrous for Pakistan.

 

[Justcrazy]

Another short ball, shehzad been tested here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shehzad usually is our best player of short bowling. Since that hit on the head he has looked a different player. Sad.

 

[Justcrazy]

Whats wrong with Shahzad?

I hope he doesn't fail in the upcoming WC, his record in the WC is abysmal, needs to rectify it.

Hope he doesn't lose form, that would disastrous for Pakistan.

He is also limited batsman. Teams will bowl short stuff he needs to practice hard

 

[akamaka]

shehzad struggling, so it looks like he has been affected by the hit in the tests.

 

[akamaka]

Shehzad usually is our best player of short bowling. Since that hit on the head he has looked a different player. Sad.

yep, was our best pull shot player. lacking confidence.

 

[Pete Rose]

Some issues with shortball developing for Shahzad. The test match injury in the background perhaps?

 

[mmkextreme_1]

3 of 9 balls, Shahzad really needs to fix this, its way to common

 

[Justcrazy]

Shehzad usually is our best player of short bowling. Since that hit on the head he has looked a different player. Sad.

He looks shaken up after death of Hughes

 

[DarkKnightRisesAgain]

To all of those who seem to be disappointed by Shafiq's selection need to remember that Selectors and Coach see something in him and they are more knowledgeable and experienced about the game than all of you key board warriors!

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor ball , short and wide

Fourrrr

 

[mmkextreme_1]

boundary by Shahzad, freebie by the bowler

A nice pull shot to follow it up as well

 

[Justcrazy]

To all of those who seem to be disappointed by Shafiq's selection need to remember that Selectors and Coach see something in him and they are more knowledgeable and experienced about the game than all of you key board warriors!

We have already seen what Waqar knows , check the game he captained

 

[mmkextreme_1]

another boundary, this is what we want to see more often Shahzad!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shehzad looking to be very aggressive today. He's in a different mood!

 

[Bullet Drive]

He owned us all their.

4 4 4

Kiwi receiving some phainty here.
