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

[fluke]

what a brilliant umpiring

 

[Aman]

Joel Wilson is Trinidadian.

My bad, saw the umpires names on circinfo and thought he was an angrez.

 

[Syed1]

He said Faheem would be the 3rd seamer for most top teams)

Ironic you have the audacity to call out someone on their statements. You have been put in your place quite often.

 

[mak36]

A Pakistani umpire gave that out.

When did Trinidad become part of Pakistan??

 

[Ab Fan]

New Zealand have just humiliated Pakistan in Asia.

 

[Vitaly]

Maybe in the distance future we will see Robot Umpires on the field such umpiring error makes one believe

 

[Justcrazy]

sarfaraz gets that away

 

[Syed1]

New Zealand have just humiliated Pakistan in Asia.

Just like Windies humiliated your side in that one ODI?

 

[Usman Chadda]

New Zealand have just humiliated Pakistan in Asia.

They have humiliated us everywhere in ODIs.

 

[Josh]

Sarfaraz will have to play Kapil Dev of 1983 world cup to win from here.

 

[Mamoon]

DRS should never be with players - today Moha used the quota for himself which cost Shadab (should be bashed for that as well - he is a top order, not tailender, should know where his line is. Few days back, Taylor reviewed LBW successfully, then got out again LBW, and he didn't review - told his partner that it was crashing leg & review showed exactly so).

Giving unlimited reviews are not a solution either. Best is to keep it for umpires - today, easily 3rd umpire could have called the batsmen before leaving ground.

Shadab is being forced into a batsman. The way he loses his balance against spin is something that you will rarely see in even mediocre players of spin bowling.

He is only marginally better than Amir or Hasan, who are classified as tail-enders. Hence, we can call him a glorified tail-ender.

It is not his fault that he is not a batsman, but the problem is that he has been given a job description that is far and beyond his qualification.

Mickey’s tenure with South Africa has ruined his perception of all-rounders. Woolmer’s influence as well.

 

[Asif321]

Sarfra should play at 4 . Get hafeez to open. Fakhar shouldn’t play in uae
Haris at 6

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Just like Windies humiliated your side in that one ODI?

They would whitewash you if you played them right now on Indian pitches.

 

[Mamoon]

Just like Windies humiliated your side in that one ODI?

Quality teams get humiliated in one-off games; mediocre teams humiliate others in one-off games.

 

[the_outsider]

Put in my place ?

It's an internet forum where you offer your opinion. Calm down. You just flow with the wind. When we are doing well we are the best and when we lose everyone is rubbish apart from your hometown boy who can never take any blame.

Calls for Imam to be dropped but support a player who can't even put bat on ball these days.

Lad is just throwing a temper tantrum. He does that whenever things don't go his way.

 

[Asif321]

Celebrate the 100

 

[Syed1]

Quality teams get humiliated in one-off games; mediocre teams humiliate others in one-off games.

I might have missed the other 3 matches of the series we lost before this ODI.

 

[Hasan123]

Seemed to put a lot of bat on ball in our last test match.... also doing same atm.

1 game after how many months ?

Yes do banghra over 12 over 22 balls ) ).

Anyone else that wasn't from Karachi batting they would be labbled rubbish.

 

[Justcrazy]

up for Pakistan

 

[Syed1]

Falsely blames me for regionalism. Doesn't even belong from Pakistan.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Coulda shoulda woulda... we beat same Windies side quite comprehensively home and away.

That was 1.5 years ago. Your lot are struggling against BD,NZ,AFG, and took only 3 wickets across two matches against a Kohli-less India who you are belittling. If Windies could challenge us in our own backyard, Pakistan won't stand a chance against Hetmyer,Hope, lewis etc.

 

[Aman]

I don't think we've been that good, we've had some luck and Pakistan have not shown up today. The series is still very much alive.

 

[the_outsider]

I might have missed the other 3 matches of the series we lost before this ODI.

I believe Mamoon is referring to the last NZ PAK series as well. This makes makes it 6-0 to 1 team in just 1 year.

 

[MMHS]

More than the margin, I am really shocked by the way team is playing and this has been the case against any decent team!!!! In last 12 months, PAK haven't played a full strength ENG, IND, SAF & AUS - and the contest had been minnowisque, game over by 25 ... 35, at most by 65 overs stage.

More than result, Sarfraz's team needs to show some fight first, otherwise he won't be able to keep his job with few people around PCB now aren't "closed" about captaincy. Don't know if it's good or bad (personally, I'll never appoint a WK as Captain, who can't be off loaded from keeping burden as a specialist bat), but Sarfraz has to do something to keep his job regarding team's moral & competitiveness
This is not about coaching, cricket not like Yank's Eggball game where Coach swears to every player via wireless - captain has to manage team on field. This is after moral boasting 6-0 in T20 and now I actually believe IND wasn't that good in Asia cup, rather PAK was exactly what we are watching here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Imad is playing as all rounder

 

[babajee]

He said Faheem would be the 3rd seamer for most top teams)

No, he would be 2nd seamer for most top teams.

 

[Syed1]

Good little partnership developing

 

[Mamoon]

I might have missed the other 3 matches of the series we lost before this ODI.

I hope you did not miss the Asia Cup and the ODI series in New Zealand. Not sure if highlights are available on YouTube, but you can still watch the Champions Trophy Final though.

 

[Ahmed216]

When you cant even think of a batsman in entire line-up who can score a match winning hundred batting second. Or a 70/80.
Man i just hope this terrible phase in Pak ODI cricket passes away soon

 

[Mamoon]

Not sure if I should laugh or feel sad at people clutching at straws by bringing the ODI that West Indies one in India recently.

Maybe I should feel sad. They deserve this humiliation but not this desperation.

 

[Itachi]

This shows CT was a fluke. Never once Pak could put up a fight after that. And that's embarassing.

 

[Usman Chadda]

What's worse is the bowlers will lose heart watching such batting performances. It's demoralizing.

 

[mak36]

Sarfraz can still win us the game right ? )

Best captain since IK who can't compete at home against NZ without Guptill .

Sure he can. Difficult, but not impossible. Or do you just watch to laugh at the national team?

UAE is not home. Guptill is crap on these tracks.

 

[Syed1]

Truth be told, Boult hasn't bowled that amazingly after his hattrick. Even Imam and Malik were playing him with ease. Now watch in the next over and come pick a four-fer

 

[Syed1]

Sure he can. Difficult, but not impossible. Or do you just watch to laugh at the national team?

UAE is not home. Guptill is crap on these tracks.

It's not even his national side though

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarfaraz.

 

[asadee]

Both Malik and Imam played horrible shots otherwise we cud have recovered well

 

[mak36]

It's not even his national side though

Very sad when so called "fans" are hoping for the captain to fail (to suit their own agendas), rather than getting behind him.

Who needs enemies with "fans" like these?

 

[Justcrazy]

I hope Pakistan can bat out the 50 overs at least

 

[Syed1]

Imad man atleast do single double

 

[letme alone]

Very sad when so called "fans" are hoping for the captain to fail (to suit their own agendas), rather than getting behind him.

Who needs enemies with "fans" like these?

hum hain pakistaniii.

 

[Syed1]

KW searching for wicket.... first brought back Boult and now trying Southee... Hope we weather this storm

 

[freak_virat]

Guys chill , pak can still win, need 147 in 120 and it's achievable if these 2 can bat.

 

[Plumb]

Just checking.. How are the Boyz Doing?

 

[mak36]

The score was (is) perfectly chaseable.

Top order just made a complete mess of it. TBH, i'm more annoyed with Imam and Malik; they did all the hard work and rebuilt and then needlessly threw it away.

 

[Usman Chadda]

It's a Pakistani special trait to criticize and sound cool, rather than provide solutions. This bunch can only do as much. Ask them who should replace Sarfraz as captain/wicket-keeper and watch them run around in circles dodging the actual question.

 

[Plumb]

143 Off 18 not bad.. keep tuk tuking

 

[Mohsin123]

Sarfraz and Imad playing sensibly here. They should look to take the game as deep as possible. Batting 50 overs should be the priority here

 

[Syed1]

Fakhar has been garbage off late. Needs to be dropped. Sadly there aren't many options in the squad.

 

[Justcrazy]

40 runs partnership so far

 

[Syed1]

Why couldn't Imam and Malik bat like this?

 

[babajee]

Fakhar has been garbage off late. Needs to be dropped. Sadly there aren't many options in the squad.

You mean rested?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Fakhar has been garbage off late. Needs to be dropped. Sadly there aren't many options in the squad.

Can't drop him right now. Will destroy whatever confidence he has.

 

[Plumb]

You mean rested?

rested=dropping nicely

 

[mak36]

Fakhar has been garbage off late. Needs to be dropped. Sadly there aren't many options in the squad.

Needs to work on his onside game (which is made all the funnier given "experts" on here said he was a legside hack .

Given Fakhar's form, there is a case for Babar opening and Haris coming in at three.

 

[Syed1]

Trying to find Pakistan's number in the first 10 overs for the last 10 ODIs. I'm sure it doesn't make for pretty reading. Cricinfo doesn't seem to have a tool to restrict overs of innings. Anyone know how to get this data?

 

[Syed1]

RRR above 8. Sub acha hai

 

[Syed1]

What is Imad doing? Atleast Sarf is playing positively rotating the strike

 

[letme alone]

we are slower than wicket or wicket is slower than us?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Scenes if Hasan Ali comes in and whacks Pakistan to an unlikely victory

 

[Syed1]

Imad Alrounder batting at SR of under 40.

 

[Plumb]

Keep Calm Guyz Ship is sailing very slow... but its sailing 1 good over and tables 'll turn

 

[Syed1]

I figure we need a 15-20 run over soon. I see what they are trying to do, get as close as possible before giving it a whack, but for that to work you can't leave yourself with too much to do.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sarfraz can't pick googly here.

 

[Syed1]

Shaba Maddy

 

[mesmerizer85]

Frankly speaking I cant expect any hundreds being scored so often by PAK batsmen regularly like top 3 teams. At most you can expect a mere 30+ score here and there which shows why we make 250 look like a mammoth total. Its time to get guys who have 40+ average in team to solve batting woes.

 

[Syed1]

Hahahaha sorry Maddy bhai ap tou mera criticism dil par hi lehgaye

 

[mak36]

Very smart from Imad

Last 5 ODIs

39/3 vs NZ
37/3 vs BD
28/1 vs IND
36/1 vs AFG
25/2 vs IND

 

[nextover666666]

I see the CT finals still pains you it's okay

 

[Justcrazy]

imad gets that

 

[letme alone]

serfi can smiles wow!

 

[Syed1]

And suddenly with Pak win as a possibility there is tranquility in match thread ) )


Amazing "fans" right [MENTION=142670]mak36[/MENTION]

 

[Ab Fan]

I don't think we've been that good, we've had some luck and Pakistan have not shown up today. The series is still very much alive.

I also feel that Pakistan will make a solid comeback after the loss today if it happens. This has become quite a norm with Pakistan. When you expect them to win, they get humiliated but just after that, they not just make comeback but end up winning the series. I also feel Pakistan will eventually win 2-1. Not undermining NZ but saying the Pakistan thing.

 

[mak36]

Pathetic

 

[The Viper]

Great over. Imad is not that bad of a batsmen. Not a huge striker but has batted sensibly so far.

 

[Snowflake]

120 from 90. Would've been doable had one of the batsmen from the top order stuck around.

 

[Plumb]

mood changes in the thread

You're undermining NZ. I am betting on 2-1 in their favour.
