Pakistan v New Zealand | 3rd ODI | December 14, 2014 | Sharjah | Pak innings

[Arsal_AK]

NZ playing a wonderful game here.

 

[Mr Consistent]

bye bye

 

[Sam18696]

YK gone but he's done the damage. To us I mean.

 

[Arsal_AK]

And .

YK goes.

Damage done??

 

[Nado_]

Track is flat no doubt, but new zealand have not bowled the right lines,

 

[Mr Consistent]

133-2
22 overs

 

[Bullet Drive]

I'm happy with the positive intent. I'd rather he got out like that then his usual defensive approach. Thrown it away though.

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Seeing a 5'4 30 year old who averages 25 at SR of 68 must really send shivers down the opposition's spines

 

[Shafi]

Smiley Khan out!!!!

 

[ExplicitAI]

looooool

 

[Aman]

Damn it

Need to keep Shafiq out there for the 50 overs.

 

[Madplayer]

atleast he was looking to be aggressive. just doesnt have it in him now. hence should be gotten rid off .

 

[Mr Consistent]

Asad

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I wonder why u are criticizing yk. He is awful but he started hitting every ball and got some crucial fast runs in this match.

 

[akamaka]

i don't know about you guys, but i think he has done enough for a WC ticket.

 

[Barragan]

I hope YK and Shafiq score runs in the remaining matches

Same here, hoping Neesham gets a 50 and Devich 80.

 

[90MPH]

It was good that YK put the foot down a bit today, though he over did it in that over and eventually got out.

He still shouldn't be in the One day side.

 

[Aman]

Our fielding has been ordinary, we should of had Shehzad run out twice tbh.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq will come good today.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Shafiq

Should have been Haris.

 

[Aman]

Same here, hoping Neesham gets a 50 and Devich 80.

Devchich is already in the XI by the looks of things. No room for Neesham.

 

[Mr Consistent]

asad off the mark

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Shafiq going at SR of 50

 

[Barragan]

Both Styris and ramiz wanting Akmal to be promoted at the no. 4 position.

 

[90MPH]

I hope Asad shows some intent today.

Intent means be busy, look to hit the gaps and rotate strike. You don't have to slog or look for boundary balls.

 

[Nado_]

Sarfraz would have been perfect for this situation , styris getting it spot on once again

 

[Madplayer]

Shafiq going at SR of 50

its been 2 balls

 

[Aman]

YK 35 off 39.

This must be a belter

 

[Barragan]

Devchich is already in the XI by the looks of things. No room for Neesham.

Yeah, that's why he should get a 50 and maybe pick up 2 wkts.

 

[m.shah]

yunis cemeneted his place

 

[TNA]

i don't know about you guys, but i think he has done enough for a WC ticket.

yeah he must have impressed the selectors by hiting spinners in Sharjah where you wont be seeing enough of them on the pacy and bouncy tracks in Australia

 

[Arsal_AK]

Shehzad getting back into the grove.

Good to see.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Shafiq going at SR of 50

What a bias post. He has faced 2 balls and 1 run. What would Haris do? Hit a 4 on 1st ball?

 

[Mainul]

why? did tamim call him and give him a tip?

was out there, no need of Tamim

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shot.

Asad looking confident.

I hope he makes a hundred.

 

[Kakar]

So 3 innings, 45 runs, average of 15.00, strike rate of 76.

 

[90MPH]

I hope Asad shows some intent today.

Intent means be busy, look to hit the gaps and rotate strike. You don't have to slog or look for the boundary ball.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Two of my good friends out in the middle. Next comes in Haris who is another. Proud feeling!

 

[Mainul]

''He won't win the popularity contest but he is here. Asad Shafiq.''

ESPNCRICINFO comments when Asad comes out to bat

 

[Madplayer]

was out there, no need of Tamim

well seems failed to do the job. didnt he?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shehzad must aim to bat through innings now. Shafiq should attack.

 

[90MPH]

No excuse not to to get 300 plus today.

 

[Aman]

Yeah, that's why he should get a 50 and maybe pick up 2 wkts.

He still wouldn't make the side. CA is a lock for the world cup.

Guptill
Devchich
KW
Taylor
McCullum
CA
Ronchi
Vettori
Southee
Boult
Henry/Milne/Mitch/Mills

There's no room and there's no way we're going to pick him ahead of Anderson.

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Boringggggg hobbit Shafiq

 

[Bullet Drive]

Under Afridi even YK was positive and attacking.

 

[Mr Consistent]

140-2
24 overs

 

[Mainul]

Asad is batting magnificently here

 

[Bullet Drive]

Boringggggg hobbit Shafiq

Wait. Don't speak too soon.

 

[TNA]

Younis made 4 in 1st odi, 6 in 2nd odi, 35 in 3rd odi. What do you reckon he is gonna make in the 4th and 5th odi? :younis

 

[Aman]

yunis cemeneted his place

Job well done

 

[Sam18696]

Man. Shafiq running always makes he laugh. He's so tiny

 

[Madplayer]

Shehzad must aim to bat through innings now. Shafiq should attack.

but can he?
anything less than 350 on this pitch is a losing total.

 

[Mr Consistent]

quick single by shazzy

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shot by Shafiq.

 

[Hamza_]

Hopefully Shafiq, Umar and Haris do very well so that YK is out for Misbah

 

[Barragan]

Styris just had a dig at younis' running between wickets. )

 

[Donal Cozzie]

yunis cemeneted his place

Group B teams be like

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Group B teams be like

Apart from Ireland. You should be ashamed that Shafiq scored 84 against you lot

 

[Mr Consistent]

143-2
25 overs

 

[Sam18696]

Group B teams be like

We'll still beat you guys

 

[Bullet Drive]

Allah is watching, I am not lying and have no reason to.

Beautiful shot by Shehzad.

 

[Mr Consistent]

whata shot 44444444

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Apart from Ireland. You should be ashamed that Shafiq scored 84 against you lot

we tied the game though

besides yk and shafiq are still well able of scoring vs our bowling, but them playing also maximises our chances of winning

 

[90MPH]

Shazzy still has problems rotating strike.

Hes plays lovely drives but can't hit gaps against spinners for some reason.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Check on Twitter who Asad Shafiq, Sharjeel & Shan follow.

 

[world cup captain]

Under Afridi even YK was positive and attacking.

He had to do it. If he didn't he would have been dropped.

 

[Pete Rose]

6 balls to score 5 runs for a set batsman. hmmm. essentially two scoring shots out of 6 balls

 

[Nado_]

Mr drive do you know nasir jamshed?

 

[Mr Consistent]

150 up

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Thing is Maqsood, Haris and Fawad are definitely coming in, so if Umar Akmal performs today then who knows what happens...

 

[Big Mac]

I know this guy called Dave and he says that nobody gives a toss whether anybody knows cricketers or not.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Mr drive do you know nasir jamshed?

No.

I know Haris, Shan, Sharjeel, Shafiq, Anwar & Shehzad. Few others too like Babar Azam, Zafar etc

Dunno the main players.

 

[90MPH]

Great pull by Shazzy.

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Shehzad showing how to bat on this wicket. Maqsood would have been 30*(12) on this pitch at this stage

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[90MPH]

NZ bowlers overdoing the short ball today

 

[Aman]

lol are we persisting with back of a length here? Smarten up guys..

 

[Aman]

Far too many freebies bowling back of a length or short, you'd think they would have realized that by now.

 

[Nado_]

No.

I know Haris, Shan, Sharjeel, Shafiq, Anwar & Shehzad. Few others too like Babar Azam, Zafar etc

Dunno the main players.

Fair play, i once took the mick out of nasir jamshed from the stands in a match, always felt bad after though
