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

But Inzi be like... sub acha hai.... lemme learn nothing from Asia Cup and select same team again.


Best. Chief. Selector. Ever. Period.

:salute :salute :salute



Dil hai tou mango more :inzi2

Inzi ko kuch nae hona but Sarfaraz will get sacked if we lose this series. Dark times ahead.
 
Maybe try shuffling babar and Imam spots or Babar with Fakhar. Babar looked more assured opening
 
The moment NZ crossed 250 they packed it in and surrendered.

Awful mentality.
 
Legend. Greatest left arm pacer since Wasim.

Too bad New Zealand don’t play enough cricket. If he was playing for a more prominent nation, he would have been hyped to the moon and rightly so.
 
Main batmsen at the crease now, Imam and Malik to see us through.
 
I think under lights, Boult may get some swing. So first 5-6 overs will be dangerous for Pakistan.

Otherwise, wicket has played decently, if anything a little slow for the fast bowlers and hence our spinners have good stats, particularly Shadab.

For the Kiwi fast bowlers, it will be about swing upfront and then mixing it up with slower deliveries for the middle/end part of the innings ...

Well I called it
 
You know times are bad when you see the score at 8/3 with Imam still batting :))
 
Doesn't matter if it's Dunedin or Abu Dhabi - when Trent Boult swings the new ball we are all at sea.
 
Should look to bowl Boult as long as possible if he's bowling like this.
 
Is there even a spare batsman in the squad. Inzi be like lemme find another relative to send over :inzi2
 
Hafeez hould have been 4 down in 1 days, what was Mickey expecting having hafeez against the new ball. Actually all in the middle would have been struggling against the new ball but, still to me hafeez should be 4 down in ODIs.
 
This what happens when you drop your best player of pace "harris" to accommodate someone who done well in t20s. How does t20 performance merit a place in odi squad especially when said player has been attrocious in odis for a long time.
 
Imam has been the lone warrior in ODIs since Asia Cup.
 
What a joy it is to watch Boult. If only Pakistan wasn't on the reviewing end
 
Perfect opportunity for Imam to hit yet another inconsequential 50(80) and say hey atleast I tried.
 
Shocking batting, but then again we are a minnow ODI Side now.
 
This isn't gone end well for Pakistan. Imam will fight it out somehow whereas for New Zealand pacers, Malik is a walking wicket.
 
I see the "fans" are out doing bhangra... they had their tongues gagged for a while. Finally getting a release.
 
Does hafeez hold world record for batting reviews taken and been given out?
 
This is where it makes a difference to have a Haris, or a Shakeel, as opposed to a Malik. May hit a 30 or 40 but will get out to pace. India can at least complain about their middle order, we hardly have one.
 
Dayum, Boult just reminded me why he's my favourite pacer today. Keeps his head down but then swings the ball around at 140 kph and well, I wouldn't fault the batsmen.
 
I think, 267 is always going to be tough at Abu Dhabi - for every team against Kiwis full squad. More than batting (which actually is known fact, Boult swings it in air everywhere), I think PAK lost the plot allowing Ross & Latham 130 @ 5, from that start. One Shadab over probably kept the total below 310, but this is very common trait of Sarfraz's Captaincy in longer game - even Aussies batted out 90 overs from 3 down on Day 4.
 
Teams don't field their best in T20 international. Most teams use it as a practice match to finalize their ODI XI or try out their future talents.

Not in case of PAK.

We chest thump over a meaningless T20 streak, and play our best team.
