Pakistan v New Zealand | 4th ODI | December 17, 2014 | Abu Dhabi | Pakistan innings

[Madplayer]

Hope haris gets a century

 

[Pete Rose]

Junior has enough ours to work with.

He can't be spoon fed 200-1 everytime and 20 runs left to win.

Doc I agree with the sentiment....but you cant be coming in today...for example probably facing a runrate of > 8.

 

[Mr Consistent]

60-3
15 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Toma-WOC: "By the 15th over Pakistan have played 62 dots, that is 10 overs gone just like that. Criminal!"

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Everyone is using up 3 overs to play themselves in then getting out anyway.

 

[Kianig89]

Younis Khan to save his odi career

 

[mithun_minhas]

Great chance for Haris to prove his worth again.

Pak has a lot of batting to come.

 

[JilaWatan]

Scott Styris talking so much sense.

what is he saying?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan middle order is just club level at best

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think pakistan will be all out under 200 with 100 not out

 

[Mr Consistent]

Required RR 7.05

 

[Pete Rose]

what is he saying?

that what good is all this slow play by YK...its just putting a lot of pressure on lower order batsmen who have to come out and play a blinder.

 

[Juansar_07]

Hafeez CtBehind - Vettori.

 

[Justcrazy]

Umar Akmal forced down the order

what great management

 

[mithun_minhas]

YK has that hunter look in him. He seems to be determined to score big today no matter what.

 

[JilaWatan]

that what good is all this slow play by YK...its just putting a lot of pressure on lower order batsmen who have to come out and play a blinder.

I don't understand? Is the management not seeing this? Or they don't really care today cuz they would have a valid excuse?

 

[Mr Consistent]

Good delivery by anderson

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Great chance for Haris to prove his worth again.

Pak has a lot of batting to come.

The RR will be too high by the time those batsmen get in. The game is being lost right here.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Maiden over

 

[Justcrazy]

60.3

17 overs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Umar akmals position is number 6 and now he will come at number 7.

Next in is afridi.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

YK has that hunter look in him. He seems to be determined to score big today no matter what.

Yep. Irrespective of whether Pakistan win or not

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[mithun_minhas]

The RR will be too high by the time those batsmen get in. The game is being lost right here.

If Pak can score 4-5 runs per over, they will still be in the game at 40th over. Then the likes of Afridi/Sir Faraz/Akmal can easily score 7 or 8 runs an over.

 

[Kianig89]

Sarfraz umar afridi all explosive players lined up together why not blend them

 

[Mr Consistent]

6 from the oevr
66-3
18 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Match was gone in the first PP itself , pathetic approach

 

[mithun_minhas]

Why is Sarfaraz not opening? The guy would have given Pak a great start.

 

[Pete Rose]

I don't understand? Is the management not seeing this? Or they don't really care today cuz they would have a valid excuse?

guys you ask for too much.
here is a guy who has > 500 runs in test matches recently
the chairman had come out in support of him getting a chance in the odi's
yes they all know his record, but it does not work this way in Pakistan.
They have to give him 5 matches on the trot: if he comes good, fine if he doesnt, at least he wont have complaints.

 

[mithun_minhas]

LOL

Kaned for

 

[Mr Consistent]

wel come back kane

 

[Justcrazy]

This is the preparation was talking about

 

[mithun_minhas]

Kane is not chucking anymore. But he does not seem to be comfortable with this action.

 

[Barragan]

Sarfraz umar afridi all explosive players lined up together why not blend them

Because we have a thick tank.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to find some momentum here.

 

[angeldsoul]

he was out twice in the 2nd odi, and has been clean dropped today and also very close to another catch just short, imagine what would happen with him in australia ??

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If Younis Khan strikes a century in this match and we win, he will go to World Cup and Pakistan might as well forget about winning the World Cup.

 

[angeldsoul]

so what if he score big after 2 lives ?? @ Younis Khan

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

If Younis Khan strikes a century in this match and we win, he will go to World Cup and Pakistan might as well forget about winning the World Cup.

If he gets a century and we win then he'll deserve to go to the world cup.

 

[Mr Consistent]

76-3
20 overs

a month before the wc is no time for a vet to try to prove his spot in the team, if it hasn't been done already then its too late. Our management has no plans, they Suck up to the seniors. Whose to say if we gave another youngster a chance instead of yl he might have come good like haris did

 

[Justcrazy]

76 / 3

20 overs

Pakistan lack plan , when they chase. Just tuk tuk and slog , out

 

[Electron]

If my careful calculations are correct, then Pakistan need to be scoring a lot quicker than this.

 

[angeldsoul]

If he gets a century and we win then he'll deserve to go to the world cup.

after getting dropped and nearly caught also ?

Regardless if YOunis gets near a century pak have lost this game due to his extremely slow start, of not having any momentum,
I also wish Bazid khan would stop sucking up to Younis!!!!

 

[Abdullah]

If Pak can score 4-5 runs per over, they will still be in the game at 40th over. Then the likes of Afridi/Sir Faraz/Akmal can easily score 7 or 8 runs an over.

You need to go over the maths again.

Currently 76/3
20 overs at 5 an over = 100 (you said 4-5)

Thats 176 at 40 overs.

That leaves a required rate of 12.4 an over for the last 10. Not 7 or 8.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Crowd getting restless.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan failed to groom new team after 2011 WC , all other teams well ahead at this stage

 

[saeedhk]

Pakistani players lack cricketing sense and intellience.No situational awareness at all.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If he gets a century and we win then he'll deserve to go to the world cup.

Based on one century?

 

[mithun_minhas]

You need to go over the maths again.

Currently 76/3
20 overs at 5 an over = 100 (you said 4-5)

Thats 176 at 40 overs.

That leaves a required rate of 12.4 an over for the last 10. Not 7 or 8.

Sorry, what I meant to say is, Pak needs to maintain a run rate some where between 4 or 5 an over.

Pak has the fire power to score 10 an over for the last 10 overs.

 

[Mr Consistent]

4th down harris

 

[Abdullah]

What would have been wrong in sending tanvir/ali in at the fall of hafeez wicket and tell them to just GO for it. Your number 10 for the day to just try and slog a few!!
These guys have only gone at 3.83 runs per over for the 6 over partnership since that wicket, so we would not have lost much!!

Come on Afridi where is the aggression!!

 

[Mr Consistent]

junior in

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan management lack vision , they could have promoted a pinch hitter , but they never think anything innovative.

Management needs to be sacked.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

after getting dropped and nearly caught also ?

Regardless if YOunis gets near a century pak have lost this game due to his extremely slow start, of not having any momentum,
I also wish Bazid khan would stop sucking up to Younis!!!!

The point is, if he gets a century we won't win because there's no way he will score quick enough AND win unless he does some superhuman hitting late on. Not going to happen.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Haris Gone.

Afridi should come in and score a quick fire 40 or 50 and get the RR under control for the others to finish the job.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pakistani batsmen are very poor chasers.

Haris seems the type of batsmen who does not have any get out shot and has holed out under pressure.

I thought he was a complete batsmen.

Complete batsmen do not have problems rotating strike.

 

[angeldsoul]

kill all momentum start off scoring at 11% then eventually get to respectable score, only thing is we are not chasing 225
then when new batsmen come in they dont have time to settle in as Younis is in test mode at beginning,
whole balance messed up of lineup for smiley and now we lose Haris....

 

[angeldsoul]

why oh why by God did Ross taylor drop useless Khan???/??

 

[Canistani Hero]

Nope. Not in the power play. We lost it at the toss.

 

[Abdullah]

Come on Umar- this is your chance.

 

[taqi]

Harris falls because of tuk tuk on the other end

 

[Mr Consistent]

83-4
22 overs

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK picked up the wicket of Haris their.. well done YK.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Vettori is still Kiwis best spinner. Man still got it.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Really s3lfish knock by

 

[Canistani Hero]

Poor shot from Haris. Even YK was disapponted. Clearly singles and doubles till the 35th over and wickets intact was the plan..but this is 300 not 220

 

[Kianig89]

2-2 on cards and we have a pathetic record in deciders

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ross Taylor MOTM for putting YK down?

 

[Barragan]

One man creating a huge mess, for a place in the side for himself.

Thanks a lot taylor!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

YK picked up the wicket of Haris their.. well done YK.

Unfortuantely that is selective blaming.

Haris Sohail himself had a SR of 52 in this match.

Unless you wish to to blame Haris's strike rate on Younis Khan too.

It was a very poor innings today by him, and in the end he holed out on a useless shot.

 

[Kianig89]

Pace n bounce

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

milne brought back to torture Younis.

 

[fasihulhaq94]

The recent trend: Shehzad play deep, good chance of winning the game. Shehzad goes early, no chance in hell

 

[Mr Consistent]

4 dots in a row

 

[Kianig89]

Rosco laughing YK all at sea

 

[mithun_minhas]

YK being bothered by some serious pace.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This is torture.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Maiden over

 

[Bullet Drive]

Awful awful awful.
