Pakistan v UAE | 2015 World Cup | Group B | Match 25 | 4th March, 2015 | Napier | UAE Innings

[Dr_Bassim]

What a boring match.

UAE have no intent in winning.

Pakistan has no intent in finishing it before 50 overs.

 

[Laal]

What a selfish inning by this Anwar guy.

 

[taqi]

get them out cheaply what they are doing get Rahat or Wahab back

 

[JibranAnsari]

After todays match its pretty obvious we dont have any chance against any of the top 6 nations.

 

[Laal]

Where have they hidden Jimmy? Haven't seen him in a while.

 

[Shafi]

UAE missed a trick. If they score 250 batting first, we will be struggling by now

 

[Aman]

What a boring match.

UAE have no intent in winning.

Pakistan has no intent in finishing it before 50 overs.

Both captains should just call it now.

 

[Laal]

I guess neither Sohail nor Irfan will complete their overs. Otherwise, I don't see any reason why Misbah wouldn't go for the kill.

 

[Sam18696]

Misbah doing the same thing AB was doing yesterday.

 

[Laal]

This is infuriating. Is Misbah this dense?

 

[Zeshan547]

Does Misbah really concern about RR?Win a little mirgin will not help us. Poor bowling!!!

so much for having an MBA degree if you can't even have an idea how much this can hurt pak in final calculations and analysis, is he dumb or just don't care?

 

[cricfan967]

Must admit, I've been surprisingly impressed with Rahat. Brilliant pace, controlled spells, exactly what we needed.

how does it affect the NRR if we win by 150 runs but they finish all their overs as opposed to us bowling them out but winning by similar margin?

 

[Silverlion]

anwar has played well. hope he is offered by some good league team.

 

[Lords]

UAE cannot win this match, very best they can do is go for personal milestones and dont get all out.

This Anwar guy should go for his century, will be kind of moral victory.

 

[Zaad]

why can't they just finish up the inning quickly

 

[cricfan967]

No love for Misbah whatsoever on this thread.

Thing is, they had absolutely no intent from ball one. This is the type of Cricket which makes the ICC think twice about associates.

As long as we win within the threshold, we will be fine. I believe it's 174?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Drinks. Misbah just allowing UAE to get settled in and possibly bat out the rest of the overs, which surely would hurt Pakistan's NRR? They had a wonderful chance to bundle this UAE team for a lot less, but allowed Khurram and Shaiman time to recover

cricinfo thinks the same,

 

[Bilsher007]

This is ordinary captaincy, i said at the beginning that Misbah needs to keep attacking fields and look for wickets.

Even commentators raising this point.

 

[cricfan967]

Can't imagine how boring this match would be for a neutral fan.

There is every chance that our NRR will drop a lot in the next match against south africa,

we might lose by 200 odd runs,

This was our chance to get a hefty win.

Shameful cricket. They have nothing to lose. It's not like his selfish inning would give him a break in a test playing cricket team.

 

[Aman]

UAE not even attacking the PP overs.

WTH are they doing out there?

Absolutely. Not sure what Misbah is on to. He is better than this.

 

[cricfan967]

No slip for Afridi in a powerplay..

this is why there are sso many doubts on associates

i feel it should be a 12 team wc next time to avoid the trash associates like uae and scotland

ireland and afghanistan make a fist of every game

 

[taqi]

Misbah dont want to risk his premium fast bowler and rest are trying their best

 

[cricfan967]

Afridi's become very one dimensional in his bowling lately. No flight or variations, simple in and out bowling.

No he is not. He has been defensive and clueless in his ODI captaincy. Did the same last ODI.

I agree, i also think they should have elected to Bat first. Only chance they had was to go for pakistan's notorious chasing ability. UAE are in too much of awe with bigger teams. IRE, Scot and Afg play big teams as they were equals. Thats the attitude you need. Or is it kinda embarrassing to perform your own country. They may feel like people will take them as villains in their own country.

 

[Arsal_AK]

he started out as a bowler

and no. we dont want him to excuse his batting failures with bowling later like hafeez did for so many years

No he didnt.

 

[cricfan967]

Rahat's pace is impressive, this guys the only move the PCB has gotten right this cup.

Why is everyone moaning? Even RSA had trouble closing against Ireland. Misbah scores quickly, gets a biggish win but gets no love lol

A dangerous sign. Can't even make it up with his batting. He's counted as a bowler.

 

[Buffet]

Ok guys, can't watch this game anymore. Ridiculous form both teams here.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Afridi has been crap this WC. Not getting wickets even vs the minnows.

 

[adnan yasin]

140-4 in 38 overs

ABD is a bad captain and we all know it.

He played a good innings but only batting isnt his job.

 

[imshally81]

Out finally

 

[angrypathan]

jamshed took a catch )

 

[ViciousMachine]

OMG!! Nasir took a catch???

 

[cricfan967]

If Pakistan don't qualify on NRR, even the die-hard Misbah supporters will turn on him

[Zaad]

an event has taken a place, the guy who couldn't save his life has caught one and afridi has gotten his first wicket of the tournament

 

[Arsal_AK]
