Williamson has batted superbly here. Brilliant timing and placement throughout.

Williamson is just 22?! Damn!
Nah that innings had Run Rate of just 4.17
I get the feeling that NZ will go even harder once they overcome the deficit.
24 actually.
Speaking of Sehwag, he's 2nd, 3rd and 4th on the list of fastest double tons behind Nathan Astle's wonderful innings against England. I don't want to jinx it but McCullum could well slot in somewhere in between Sehwag's offerings of 168, 182 and 194 balls for the double ton."
Was it another drop?
I wish pakistani players can show this kind of grief

Prove me wrong or accept your mistake
You can't when on 1 hand you have 5'4 batsman that is approaching 30 but is still considered a youngster, and on another hand you have someone who was a legspinner his entire life but started to bat at the age of 22. And with Misbah-ul-Tuk at the helm you will see blocking no matter the pitch or the match situation. It's either block or slog, sadly it's more of the former than anything.
knee jerk reaction
entire life of 22 is not that of 35 where azhar chose the different path
should I list down the names of players who started their career as bowlers but ended as good batsmen & here azhar started his career as a batsman who comes after weak & fragile openers
Please tell me, because I can also tell you that Shoaib Malik was a bowler but turned into a batsman and we know how he turned out... also Ashwin was a opening batsman who turned into a bowler and he is rubbish as well.
The only exception is Kevin Pietersen but by the age of 29 he had 16 hundreds, average of 50 at SR of 63. He was a flamboyant and exciting cricketer, Azhar is not.
ravi shastri
century for Baba
kick babar out of the attack and bring hafeez on.
lol and Shastri is rubbish and only reason people know of him is because he is a commentator (like Rameez Raja). The guy averages 29 in ODI which is Afridi-esque. But even then, he was an all-rounder, Azhar Ali played in U15, U17, U19 as a leg spinner and doesn't bowl it at all now, he is meant to be a pure batsman which is absolutely ridiculous.

so its bound if somebody stated his FC career as bowler he should only bowl
R/R is still under control of misbah, he dont let it climbed over 6
It's bound that if you do something your whole life, you can't immediately change and do something else at a PROFESSIONAL level. Being a professional batsman/bowler for your country isn't something you pick up over night, you do it from a young age (starting from the age of 3-5). If you cannot grasp that then I have nothing else to say.
A big innings thrashing coming up![]()
my dear friend whole life is not the sum of 22 years.........
its not like that azhar change his field at 32
Bring Back.Sami
thrashing has already happened, now they will grind us into this gleaming sharjah highway.
And we were expecting to whitewash them before the series.![]()
I think we peoples are on selfish side by not praising kiwiz for this batting rather bashing our bowlers, we should acknowledge kiwiz batting open heartedly
Taylor looks really uncomfortable out there. We need to keep bowling Yasir and I suspect Taylor will give his wicket away in the next few overs.
From what I saw only Alchemy and bilal expected that.
What are you failing to understand, he was leg spinner his whole life until he decided to become a batsman at the age of 22![]()
lets see this with another angle, a man started to think about his life after he passed his teens, after 19 years out of 22 somebody told azhar or even he himself think that he has a good batting technique & temperament so he should focus on his batting rather bowling.
He may be looking uncomfortable, but he has still scored 24 off 33. Not 5 off 46 like some players in our team.
No one is stopping him from focussing on it, but you need to understand that in professional sports, at the absolute top level, if you start to bat or bowl from the age off 22 then you will never catch up to the elite level. He is not a #3 batsman and isn't a natural batsman full stop.
atleats I may agry on your last part he is not #3 batsman
he is an opener
If there is a cricketer I despite the most it has to be Imran Farhat for the politics he played and his deluded and arrogant demeanour. But even Farhat is a better opener than Azhar Ali.
I have some influence on misbah & I make you sure that from next match on behalf of me misbah wouldn't select him as a batsman & azhar will only play as leg spinner.......ok now
ab to khush ho jao bhai...........
So illiterate![]()
