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

[MRSN]

And

Spinner comes to rescue younis.

Lol yeap

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis

 

[Abdullah]

This is a good test 200 odd in 22 overs with 6 wickets- this is equivalent to 170 in Australia.
Half of me thinks we would be better of losing this so that we understand that this kind of batting in the first 20 overs is unacceptable!!!
If Umar/Afridi/Sarafaz pull of a blinder then we will get people saying YK anchored well and this was always the plan!!
In actual fact we need to stop playing like this in the middle because ultimatley in a big game it will cost us.

The other half of me says come on boys lets win this- YK 130 off 140

 

[Madplayer]

I mean I hate YK and I think he shouldn't be a part of ODI team.

But none of the Pakistani batsmen have managed to play at a SR of even 80 plus in this match.

Why blame YK for their own problems?

Perhaps because younis has been failing since 250 ODIs and the others are young or new and can learn?

 

[the Great Khan]

my hearts not in this one today. prob same for the pak team.

 

[cricket.mad]

With that 50 yk books his place for wc..good news for other teams!!

 

[Mr Consistent]

superb over for pak

 

[Mr Consistent]

121-4
30 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

121 / 4

30 overs

 

[Barragan]

Scored a 50, but still a dreadful innings.

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK will be going to Australia now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bad news people

We are going to lose todays match anyway but yks 50 means that yk will be playing wc.

 

[Thivagar]

setting the stage for Afridi's blitz

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Perhaps because younis has been failing since 250 ODIs and the others are young or new and can learn?

Of course they can learn.

But how does YK get blame for other players being slow?

Everyone has the ability to hit shots and find gaps, and should do whatever required to maintain a healthy runrate.

I don't like this blame game that when you don't perform well, blame the other batsmen.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Akmals nemesis arriving...


The batting PP

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have given hopes , they just playing for own spots .

 

[JibranAnsari]

Akmals nemesis arriving soon


The batting PP

 

[manwidoutsoul]

Fifty for
Younis. A very painstaking one.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Akmals nemesis arriving...


The batting PP

I Have a feeling he won't last long enough and not intelligent enough to wait for a batting PP.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Required RR 9.10

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Well that's a good idea.

Batting PP.

 

[Barragan]

I Have a feeling he won't last long enough and not intelligent enough to wait for a batting PP.

)

He has stayed long enough for the batting powerplay.

 

[Mr Consistent]

pp time

 

[JibranAnsari]

I Have a feeling he won't last long enough and not intelligent enough to wait for a batting PP.

Yah.

Who cares the match is gone anyways ..courtesy brilliant batting by the top order.

 

[angeldsoul]

look we all know if Y Khan can hang in for 50/60 balls he is a good player then after that. But its how slow he is up to that
is what the issue is, he is a test great by doing the exact same thing, survive 70 deliveries, then he finally gets in,
would be perfect for chasing 220 )

 

[Madplayer]

Of course they can learn.

But how does YK get blame for other players being slow?

Everyone has the ability to hit shots and find gaps, and should do whatever required to maintain a healthy runrate.

I don't like this blame game that when you don't perform well, blame the other batsmen.

True but guys like haris can be excused because he has been the best batsman from Pakistan averaging 56 even after the failure today. Younis has no excuse

 

[JibranAnsari]

Haha why take early PP?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Akmal will get out this over.

 

[Smbhayi]

Umair Zahid: "Now it's a simple t20 game with 4 hitters in hand and 9 RR."

 

[Mr Consistent]

umar

 

[JibranAnsari]

Akmal only su4vives Pp 1 out of 9 times.

 

[Asif321]

Yk.booked his ticket to WC , what a clever team man

 

[Mr Consistent]

130-4
32 overs

 

[Madplayer]

Yk finding it hard to accelerate so far

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wasted the first PP over.

Why take PP when you intend to play dots?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Awful lol. I'd prefer Misbah.

 

[Bullet Drive]

170 off 108.

 

[Madplayer]

Woaaaaaahhhh what a six

 

[ExplicitAI]

Now that was a great shot

 

[Barragan]

Oh well, at least we'll see younis being humiliated in front of the world.

 

[Mr Consistent]

what a shot

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK played the shot of the game.

 

[m.shah]

6

 

[ExplicitAI]

LOL! What was that???

 

[Aarif]

if umer survives powerplay then we have a chance...
he often throws his wicket in powerplays

 

[Mr Consistent]

life for junior

 

[Abdullah]

if umar gets through the power play - this game is on

 

[JibranAnsari]

Akmal survives the first scare.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Calm down Umar Akmal.

Let YK hit, U.Akmal must stay till end.

 

[JibranAnsari]

100 is on for younis.

 

[Bullet Drive]

The PP always gets Umar out.

 

[JibranAnsari]

At least akmal is a brilliant runner.

Pushes his partner as well.

 

[Smbhayi]

Smiley trolling Pak fans lol

 

[Mr Consistent]

good over for pak

 

[Smbhayi]

means our streak will continues. ..

 

[Smbhayi]

BTW a good over that.. 13 runs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lovely fielding.

 

[Mr Consistent]

[Asif321]

wow YK on fire , dark.day for critics

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK is seeing it real well here. Come on YK win this for us.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good recovery by younis.

Needs to be there till the end.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar just calm down.

 

[Smbhayi]

Some more troll. .

Baundule: "And still I find no one praising Yunis for his lone battle. "

 

[Mr Consistent]

150 up for pak

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pp for once is profitable for us.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar last ball, just a single pls.

 

[Mr Consistent]

154-4
34 over

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor swing and a miss by akmal.

 

[Justcrazy]

[Juansar_07]

[Justcrazy]

No boundaries so far for

 

[Smbhayi]

Another good over.. Pak need more of them or more overs by Anderson. .

 

[Thivagar]

That Six

Just did a similar one but didn't go for a six

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar Akmal on strike...... oh dear....

 

[JibranAnsari]

What a shot.

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[MRSN]

Aala Umar Akmal.

 

[Smbhayi]

Hammad: "No boundary yet for umar akmal.....interesting"

 

[JibranAnsari]

Now a stupid shot is on.

 

[Thivagar]

- Sohail doing well
- Afridi batting well
- Younis batting well
- Akmal not getting out in single digits
Pakistan is back on track...........i think
