Pakistan v New Zealand | 5th ODI | December 19, 2014 | Abu Dhabi | Pakistan Innings

[Bullet Drive]

Poor batting.

Why do we always rely on Afridi and Umar Akmal to provide a miracle.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Pak needs to score a few boundaries.

RRR is getting close to 6.

 

[mnoman15]

Hope YK fails miserably

 

[cricket.mad]

Surprising that pak follows the old 90's school approach for odi's..amusing

 

[mnoman15]

Hope YK fails at 10(40)

 

[Bullet Drive]

Awful batting.

 

[Amjid Javed]

dot balls been gobbled up with no strike rotation as per usual!

 

[Justcrazy]

Really pathetic batting , matches after matches.

 

[Bullet Drive]

And next we have Asad Shafiq.

 

[Square Drive]

Start rotating the strike FFS.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Required RR 6.06

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate over 6 , soon they will take it to 8

 

[Square Drive]

Can't wait until after the WC when hopefully we have stroke-makers playing for us.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hate watching YK. So ugly.

 

[mithun_minhas]

YK - 9(19)
Shez - 6(18)

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Shezad to score a match winning century while chasing

 

[Mr Consistent]

Rameez comparing YK with Javed maindad

 

[jib13673]

yunis khan at his best in ODI with what he does best---- putting pressure on others.....Ramiz says ynis khan is just lke javed miadad...no where near great javed

 

[castortroy]

Shehzad is awful at picking the gaps

 

[dirk diggler]

Can't wait until after the WC when hopefully we have stroke-makers playing for us.

Didn't they say the same thing after the last WC and look where that got us!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

The field is well set for Shezad, he is going to have to go over the top to get past the cover fielders.

 

[Bullet Drive]

These shots by Shehzad would be 4 on any other ground.

 

[Mr Consistent]

good fielding

 

[Zeshan547]

Most people or bashing younis for his slow play but what about shehzad, most often for first 50 balls he face his strike is usually worse than even yk, we know he can quickly catch up by playing big shots after passing 50 runs, but what if he gets out before that, it really hurt pak chances and he also put pressure on the other batsman to play big shots.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Kiwi Fielding :bow

 

[Bullet Drive]

Obsolete Khan.

 

[Square Drive]

Need to be at least 35/1 after 10 overs.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

who wants to support such an insipid and uninspired batting lineup?

 

[Mr Consistent]

19-1 after 8 overs

 

[mithun_minhas]

8 overs done and dusted.

Still no boundary scored.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Both these batsmen belong to 80s.

 

[habibi hayya]

We have Kiwis right where we want them.



















Well ahead.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Pakistan top order doing their best to lose it in the first 15 overs as usual.

 

[Justcrazy]

Every game first power Play has been wasted.

 

[JibranAnsari]

It will be down to afridi again to score a 20 ball 50 to get any close.

 

[m.shah]

Painful to watch

 

[DOOSRA95]

What a shambolic batting no boundaries, ODI batting formula from dinosaur age.....[emoji16][emoji16]

 

[Justcrazy]

Ahmed Raza, the UAE left-arm spinner, is subbing as a fielder for New Zealand

 

[dirk diggler]

8 overs and we're already 30 off the pace

 

[Amjid Javed]

The inability to play moving ball with abit of pace been clearly shown here

 

[Barragan]

Styris talking a lot of sense, thank you.

And he is gone too.

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[chacha kashmiri]

yk caught down the legside, one of the worst innings of the series

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

classy innings, not like he cares though

 

[Square Drive]

Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

Please leave us Younus.

 

[steelo green]

This is what we will see all WC and that century is what we will hear about... All World Cup.

 

[castortroy]

What a useful this team is.

Going to be embarrassing in the world cup

 

[DOOSRA95]

Cannot play liquid pace nor quality spin on phatttas ...so so disappointed with these batsman....

 

[m.shah]

Mr team man gone...the century he scored will hurt pak nw

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ramiz talking sense.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Younis Khan c †Ronchi b Henry 12 (25b 0x4 0x6) SR: 48.00
25 balls wasted

 

[mithun_minhas]

YK gone.

unlucky way to get out.

But wasted quite a few deliveries.

 

[jib13673]

thank god....last match he was lucky to dropped early and get century......go yunis go....please PCB dont select him in WC....just a pain

 

[amomin]

Younis Khan can't play the short ball at all. Sorry.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq to score 50 off 70.

 

[jib13673]

one more pain in...asad

 

[JibranAnsari]

and leaves after a sub 50 sr innings. weldone

 

[dirk diggler]

Any message to the board Younis?

 

[ekpakistani]

How will our team fare on NZ n Ozzie pitches. . Scared with the thought

 

[Justcrazy]

two down

 

[FreeBird]

Never deserved to be in the squad, YK.
He can keep his yesterday's selfish century. We don't need him in the WC.

Better play youngsters and lose rather then try those TTF again and again, and then lose.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Now Asad

 

[Amjid Javed]

YK fails once again, but hes played his one WC place saving knock already this series!

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Does not matter that Younis is gone. Younis, Tanveer, Hafeez, Shafiq are not judged on performance. They will be on the plane to Australia/New Zealand.

 

[ekpakistani]

Our bowling is depleted too.. first time will go into world cup not expecting anything

 

[Square Drive]

West Indies is batting faster in a Test match against #1 tanked SA, in SA.

Unbelievable.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yk already in WC , time for asad to score some.

 

[the Great Khan]

so nothings changed from the champs trophy then.

 

[amomin]

It's funny Younis came out and said that management to drop him quote AFTER the one match he scores in.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Shehzad is still there folks , chill

 

[habibi hayya]

Bring back

 

[Zeshan547]

All other teams would lose chasing such a total in last ten overs usually, but we lose such matches in first ten overs it self by playing pathetically slow. And by this strategy we dig a hole for our own self up front and even strikers like afridi left with too much to do in too less balls and even they can't fill such hole. I just wonder why can't we play attacking and fearless cricket up front.

 

[jib13673]

true

 

[Amjid Javed]

YK Mark II now... expect more dot balls to be eaten up in a pointless inns!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Everything I predicted in the past is coming through now.

All these nudgers and accumulators are NOT needed in ODI cricket. They have no place in any ODI team. Instead Misbah has made this guys the main-stay of our team. Misbah will be back soon and make it even more worse for us.

 

[Barragan]

No promotion for Akmal again.

He will have to come in with the rrr at 7-8+ and everyone will expect him to play a miraculous innings to save us.

 

[amomin]

If PCB management thinks this technique this what matters. Two worst players in this ODI team is who are lauded for their technique. Shafiq, Younis.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

shafiq is on to increase the run rate...... required

 

[cric_man]

LOL... YK soaked up 25 balls then gets out..
Have to endure Asad now!!!
Yesterday Johnson, Stark et al scored 6 rpo in a test match!

 

[MenInG]

No one seems be too bothered about our bowling giving away so many freebees? Should we have been chasing so many runs in the first place?
