What's new

Pakistan vs New Zealand | 1st ODI | Abu Dhabi | Nov 7, 2018 | New Zealand Innings

Are you playing dumb on purpose? It's for the officials to officiate, it's for the players to play. Kapish?
I haven't seen the incident but if a bowler is chucking and is a repeat offender ,you're going to call him out on it and tell the umpire.

You're literally making excuses for a cheat, using spirit of the game to cover for someone who is proven to be cheating twice already.

If it were the other way around, you'd be saying the same thing.
 
Yes he has performed against a good team for once. Everything is forgiven now, including the Asia Cup humiliation.

He's 20yrs old. Made his international debut only last year. It is from performances like this that he will hopefully learn and keep improving.
All you remember is Asia cup
 
What rule has he broken here? There is no written rule that he's broken, he's accused a bowler who has already been suspended twice for chucking.

he has no right to insinuate anything. He should stay in his lane. Mind his own damn business..
 
Along with Babar, Imam is the only young player in this team with long-term value.

He gives a lot of posters tummy ache, but they should make peace with the fact that he is going to have 15 year career for Pakistan.

Hasan, Shadab etc. will fizzle out in a couple of years.

Well we do need someone to feast on the minnows... So you might be right here.

I repeat, Hafeez has been caught twice.

Fans on here even accuse him of chucking... if he weren't Pakistani, you'd be cheering the fact someone called out a chucker.

Shadad is a future Pakistani captain.

Sorry man, but you're wrong here.

He should have let the umpire know and have a chat with them.

Doing what he did in the middle of the pitch is just low class.

Cry baby indeed.
 
I thought Shaheen has two overs remaining and you go with this trash bowler of the match.
 
Second six for Sodhi against Hasan :))


Aj kal iskay buhat boray din chal rahay hain

You are right.
Its like a player giving giving a batsmen out. You simply can't do that and such action would lead to a punishment.
 
The heck is wrong with Hasan Ali.. why is he bowling short ball at this stage of the game that too against tail????????
 
Come on Hasan Ali, you're far better than this. I feel like Hasan needs a break too, just like Amir.
 
Shaheen has 3 overs remaining... why isn't ne bowling? Pathetic captaincy. Heck even Junaid is good in the death :facepalm:
 
Why does Hasan continue to bowl when Shaheen has 3 overs left? Poor captaincy by Sarfraz.
 
This have to be the last game for Hassan for a long time if not for ever,, Completely useless, getting destroyed by tailender,,
 
Baqwas bowling needs to be dropped... started believing his own hype
 
Hassan showing that he should dropped just like Amir for sometime. Faheem along with the Shaheen was the best pacer in T20s, it was surprising he didn’t play but should definitely come in the next match.
 
Not sure what the fuss about Hafeez is and why NZ made a big deal out of it, it's not like Hafeez ran through them
 
Hasan Ali undoing good work by spinners here! 250+ will be a tough chase with our batting.
 
Did you predict ABD becoming a player he became when he was avging early-mid 30s after 20 odd tests or Amla who was averaging 20 odd after 16 test matches. Shadab is just 19 and players take time to develop.

You also have to take into account that they are not Pakistani players who will not develop further and become ATG. History doesn't favor Pakistan in that regard in the last 10 years. Players from SA/Australia/India may start out slow but their system grooms and nurtures them in their development whereas ours regresses them. There is a massive difference.
 
What the hell happened to Hasan Ali? He is the only Pak pace bowler I liked in last 10 years. I thought he was going to become a Pakistan great. Really sad to see him go downhill
 
How the hell does Fahim not play and Hasan plays?

No. Watch the incident and then comment. If a team wishes to raise a complaint they raise it with the match referee after the game behind closed doors.

What Taylor did was completely unacceptable and was designed to be provocative.
 
This is Sarfraz the great. Hasan Ali has been tonked all evening yet he persists with him because in his mind, Hasan has to be the death bowler.

Success got to his head. Now he's not any more useful than Joginder Sharma.

Please explain why you feel this way, I remember you use to praise them two often before??
 
Sarfaraz is clueless in ODIs. He is a great captain in T20s but as soon as it comes to ODIs, his approach becomes too defensive.

While I agree that Imam is a very good prospect, I see absolutely no reason to dismiss Shadab, a legspinner in his early 20's, so easily. I'd say he's shown us enough to suggest that he's here to stay.
 
Both teams are trying their level best to lose the game
 
Becoming more difficult now , every tom dick and harry can come out with sticks in pakistan and and burn vehicles.

riots happen everywhere..the country can stage matches easily and terrorism is at 2005-4 levels..the rest is just an excuse
 
It feels like we're all piling on Sarfraz but really, given how expensive Hasan Ali has been why not bowl out Shaheen instead ?
 
Shadad is a future Pakistani captain.

It is probable. It is not beyond the PCB to make a mediocre player - who doesn’t make the team on merit - captain.

In fact, it is pretty standard for the PCB.
 
Is Shahin carrying injury? I see, max he can bowl is 8 overs, with the last one a single over spell .... while Hasan has opened flood gate !!!!
 
these superstars taking it too easy,,, what horrible attitude,,, they don't deserve to win, too unprofessional,,,
 
If Pakistan somehow chase whatever the total is today, Pak is taking the series
 
And the best pacer in fact best bolwer of the inning will not complete his quota sarfaraz :salute
 
Pakistani fast bowling apart from Shaheen has been worrisome for a while (minus Junaid's one-off against BD). We have Imad Wasim bowling in the 45th over :danish

We're running them into the ground. Hasan has been playing every single match. He should be rested for the next two matches. The UAE is all about the spinners anyways.

I don't think they want to put a lot of pressure on an 18 year old bowler.

Sarfaraz thinks Hassan is a better bowler at death, which with his current form he is clearly not

A 20 year old leg spinner that averages 26 with the ball and 31 with the bat is very mediocre - you are correct as always.
 
Bad pick .... Hasan should sit in few games. Why faheem didn't play:sanga
 
At 210 for 7, Sarfraz was using Imad instead of trying to bring his wicket taker Shaheen and finish off the innings. :facepalm:

The biggest asset that I look for in a young player is temperament, and that is why I have been very impressed with Imam.

In spite of having so many people criticizing him for being a nepotistic selection, he has managed to ignore all that noise and score runs.

The way he played composed knocks under high pressure against Afghanistan and Bangladesh when others were going bananas said a lot about him.

Honestly speaking, I am not impressed with Shadab and his career trajectory shows a familiar path - a path many Pakistanis cricketers have ended up on.

His batting has completely diminished and he took the game by storm but has tapered off. This spell seems like an aberration to me.
 
Great stuff from Shaheen, deserved a fifer which he would have got if bowled full quot
 
for what Ross Taylor did, it is just a by product of the AUS/NZ/SAF/ENG losing a few games on the trot and then their true colors coming out. These teams can't take a few losses on the trot, they can only dish out losses but when the tables turn they start sledging and show their true colors of how low they are

Attention hogging. That's all you need to know about someone who changes his opinions more often than his underwear.

Totally agreed with Imam's potential

That batting average is misleading. Even Hasan scored a 50 in New Zealand.

He is a glorified tail-ender at best. Certainly doesn’t qualify as an all-rounder. We saw his batting in the Asia Cup.
 
I don't think they want to put a lot of pressure on an 18 year old bowler.

Two under 20 blowers have taken 8 of the 9 wickets here and kept PAK somewhat in game still ...... then what is experience for? Enjoying a higher central contract & match fee?
 
Many people won't like this but Shaheen is also a terrible death bowler. His pace is certainly overrated. His average pace is 132-135kph and he bowls a lot of half volleys at the death. Will be thrashed by quality hitters.

Weren't you an advocate of Umar Amin and Asad Shafiq in ODIS? :))

Agree with top part but Shadab has been nothing but good in all formats, despite still learning his trade. His averages and strike rate will also improve more he plays.

Hasan - has ability but success has well and truly gone to his head.

Shadab - played too many games against minnows upfront which creates false hopes.
