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

[Rayyman]

Achee batting boyzz. Keep it up.

 

[Syed1]

Malik lol..if we have to rely on him for anything we truly are lost!!

Bhai don't worry we have legend Saifi padded up to come in next. Truly dire times

 

[Hasan123]

Going by that he should be opening
Stupid logic

Not asking him to open but asking him to come in at 4 or 5 is too much?

 

[Aman]

This is not a full strength Kiwi squad. Guptill, Anderson and Santner are missing.

Anderson wouldn't make a full strength team, not sure he'd make the squad either.

 

[Syed1]

Imam caught up with Malik.... now both will do tuk tuk mil baant ke

 

[topspin]

I am told by posters to support Sarfraz. Our captain is hiding at 6. Why not come out and lead from the front ?

Why should we back a captain who doesn't lead from the front?

Totally agree with this especially because he ain't no hitter. Captaincy and CT win has made him more lax with cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

Boult is a wicket taking bowler no doubt , in any format he is gold.

 

[Mamoon]

aunty jee please go away. Where were you during the t20 and test series? idhar aa jatay ho bakwaas kurnay!!

Keep celebration meaningless success in T20s. We are not going to win the WT20 in 2020 and India will smash us in a bilateral series today. I am not interesting in celebrating artificial success.

Test series? I was here when we drew a Test in the UAE against a terrible Australian team. Beating them 1-0 in these conditions without Smith is not a successful result.

 

[Third Man]

Faheem is a better bowler though )

Did he sriously say that? Goodness me.

 

[Justcrazy]

One solid partnership here can still win this for Pakistan.

 

[Hawkeye]

We got this. In fact if Pakistan doesn't win this I won't post in the Cricket forum till 2020 T20 WC.

Good. That's like intentionally saying goodbye.

Take care.

 

[babajee]

Did he sriously say that? Goodness me.

Let them talk.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I just love the beautiful release of cricket ball from Boult. It is just so seamless.

 

[rhony]

80 in 20 overs without any wickets from now will be a good launch pad

 

[MMHS]

This is not a full strength Kiwi squad. Guptill, Anderson and Santner are missing.

I am talking about their attack. Without those 3, still they have put 266, could have been even higher. Their fielding is so good that any target, you can add 10-12% with that.

 

[Hawkeye]

One solid partnership here can still win this for Pakistan.

I need the same stuff you're taking.

 

[Bilal7]

Not asking him to open but asking him to come in at 4 or 5 is too much?

He's not your secret santa, it won't happen even if you get on your knees and beg. Sarfaraz is not a specialist batsman and is not as good as a specialist batsman. He has no place batting in the top five.

 

[Plumb]

This is a wicket where you need to keep the runrate at 3-4 runs and cash in the bad deliveries in the middle... I hope thats the plan. That's how Taylor/Latham built the innings. Keep going Guyz.... all the haters 'll join the bandwagon once we get across the line IA

We beat them 2-0 even when Smith was around. Like I said don't run mouth.

 

[Markhor]

You keep bringing up 2018. Fakhar scored two fifties in the first 3 ODIs which were in December. As for Babar, he had his lone poor series in NZ, in Asia Cup he was average and today he was unlucky. These two might be in poor form but they are the two best in Pakistan, not some overyhyped minnow-bashers.

Nope NZ series began in January.

 

[Asif321]

Not asking him to open but asking him to come in at 4 or 5 is too much?

Where will Malik and hafeez play then
He batted up the order when he wasn’t captain
Now to accommodate hafeez and malik he has to go down

 

[DeadBall]

NZ also lost 3 wickets in 4 balls, we just did it better and got ours out of the way earlier on. Smooth sailing from now on.

 

[Mamoon]

We beat them 2-0 even when Smith was around. Like I said don't run mouth.

That was a good result, this wasn’t. Kaunsi zuban me samjhaon?

 

[topspin]

Starc, Smith and Cummins aren't good in T20s. We were missing Amir, the world's best T20 bowler.

They would all walk into Pakistan's team.

Starc > Amir
Smith > most of our batsmen
Cummins > Hasan Ali (check T20I stats)

 

[Syed1]

That was a good result, this wasn’t. Kaunsi zuban me samjhaon?

Well we already know you don't know pashto so that one is off the table

 

[Plumb]

Starc > Amir
Smith > most of our batsmen
Cummins > Hasan Ali (check T20I stats)

Only If Starc and Cummins stay fit for international cricket and Smith away from cheating

 

[Hawkeye]

We beat them 2-0 even when Smith was around. Like I said don't run mouth.

That was under a player and captain who led from the front and is one of our best Test captains. Also took us to #1 spot. The one you abuse every day.

Not under Sarfraz who lost a series in the UAE to SL. Almost lost against Aus.

Come to reality.

 

[the_outsider]

lol.. everytime some player sits out it becomes weak squad

Guptill is ranked 11th in ODIs and Santner is NZ's 2nd highest ranked bowler and their best spinner, which is a big loss on UAE pitches. So yes, it's definitely a weaker squad.

 

[topspin]

He's not your secret santa, it won't happen even if you get on your knees and beg. Sarfaraz is not a specialist batsman and is not as good as a specialist batsman. He has no place batting in the top five.

What kind of logic is this? so he's not good enough bat, so he should be occupied as some nakli hitter at number 6?

 

[MMHS]

80 in 20 overs without any wickets from now will be a good launch pad

Won't - if you are 3 down, max you can triple your total from end 20 overs, for less than 20% times. 80/3 in 20 overs won't take total beyond 240 - that's probably correct till 2012 when I used to check comparative numbers. In chasing case, it should be even lower (than 20% success). PAK's ODI batting tactics is flawed, batting picks are even worse.

Telling me to come to reality and then goes onto say "almost lost against Aus" ) )


Bhai mughay bhi dehna jo ap leh rahay ho

 

[QalandarFan]

Hafeez Sobers went for a duck. Hah semms like hes trying to increase ratings. He’s blessed in that facet as well. He knew if he stayed out there for too long he would have won us the match in 25 overs.

 

[Mamoon]

Imam again showing good temperament, but he is the one who is holding this team back.

And no, Sahibzada is not better by any means.

Great deflection of the rest of the post. No answer?

 

[Syed1]

I don't respond to garbage.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

These two making batting look easy.

 

[rhony]

This game is inconsequential. Biggest issue is Fakhar Zaman. He has been brutally exposed. Danny Morrison is surprised how he couldn't even tap the ball to the onside

 

[topspin]

Did he sriously say that? Goodness me.

He said Faheem would be one of the two best bowlers for most sides outside Pakistan and he said Boult was garbage. So going by these statements you can deduce what his assessment of Faheem v Boult would be.

 

[Syed1]

These two making batting look easy.

By batting at SRs in 50s and 60s?

 

[Justcrazy]

Main problem with Pakistan is that when they loose few wickets they go in shell. Other teams still b play ball on merit. Pakistan stop rotation of strike.

 

[Syed1]

39/3 after 10. Yup typical Pakistan.

 

[trickyone]

Enjoy the game guys, no need to get personal with anyone...

 

[Third Man]

Imam again showing good temperament, but he is the one who is holding this team back.

And no, Sahibzada is not better by any means.

Sahibzada is as mediocre as they come. Can't recall a worse hack.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

One dad gets a hat trick. Can the other dad get a century?

 

[MMHS]

Shahibzada is definitely not (I haven't seen him batting), but, Imam has scored 11 of 23 since his boundary in 3rd ball - is that taking the team any where, beyond what Misbah used to get bashed for? He is a good Test prospect, but his game doesn't suit ODI - I saw part of 2 QeA Cup games, and he was beyond pathetic, even for a domestic game.

 

[Hawkeye]

Yeah, grew up in Peshawar. We speak the simplest, most basic form of Pashto. People who speak more complex dialects can understand us but we cannot understand them.

You still a doc or changed the field?

 

[Syed1]

Express pace Lockie comes in.. Malik about to go back to the pavilion

 

[emranabbas]

Pakistan will win
Big innings coming from malik and sarfaraz

 

[Mamoon]

You still a doc or changed the field?

I am giving CSS a shot next year.

He has some limitations, but I believe he is more than good enough for this team under the circumstances.

 

[Third Man]

Yeah, grew up in Peshawar. We speak the simplest, most basic form of Pashto. People who speak more complex dialects can understand us but we cannot understand them.

Right. Mine is a bit of a mix of Charsadwal and Momand dialects. I'm not sure could call them "dialects" though. Not that different.

 

[QalandarFan]

Sahibzada is as mediocre as they come. Can't recall a worse hack.

No undisputed hack champions imo are Awais Zia and Raffatullah Mohmand ) Guys couldn’t even get bat on ball.

 

[Hawkeye]

I am giving CSS a shot next year.

Nice.

 

[Syed1]

Don't know what Pakistani batsmen hope to achieve with mind numbing tuk tuk

 

[QalandarFan]

A mere 225 runs left to chase.

 

[Mamoon]

This Lockie guys makes me uncomfortable. Looks like someone who has a 9 to 5 job, runs in like a dibbly-dobbler but then fires a thunderbolt.

Pretty weird specimen.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Ross Taylor just dropped the match You don't drop a player like Shobby who is comfortably the best batsman in Pakistan and then expect to win Mr. Rose Taylor

 

[Hamza_]

Imam has only one shot?

Dab to third man.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor batting , no momentum , required rate climbing up

 

[Usman Chadda]

Imam has absolutely zero presence at the crease.

 

[Syed1]

Ross Taylor just dropped the match You don't drop a player like Shobby who is comfortably the best batsman in Pakistan and then expect to win Mr. Rose Taylor

They will still win

 

[rhony]

In chasing case, it should be even lower (than 20% success). PAK's ODI batting tactics is flawed, batting picks are even worse.

180 in 30 overs is a good target with 7 wickets in hand no? Imam can anchor as he has already shown and others can bat around him for 20+ scores

 

[Syed1]

Imam wants to score a fifty before he even looks at the required rate

 

[Mamoon]

Our tournament trend in England is likely to continue.

2009: champions
2013: disaster
2017: champions
2019: probably a disaster.

 

[Darkrai]

Don't start cutting your wrists yet...we have 2 more ODIs left...

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to play different players in this format.

 

[Third Man]

No undisputed hack champions imo are Awais Zia and Raffatullah Mohmand ) Guys couldn’t even get bat on ball.

Yeah, I think those guys, especially Rafatullah are worse.

 

[Madplayer]

Don't know what Pakistani batsmen hope to achieve with mind numbing tuk tuk

Sharamful phainty is being accepted by the batsmen. Moment the ball swings a centimeter, the start shivering in the boots.

 

[Syed1]

Been like a decade since the last boundary was hit

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They will still win

Depends on how long Malik stays at the crease.

 

[Plumb]

In Rameez way... "Pakistan doing exactly what the doctor ordered... keep ticking the scoreboard"

 

[Baigel]

Imam has only one shot?

Dab to third man.

Thank god he's still at the crease

 

[Syed1]

In Rameez way... "Pakistan doing exactly what the doctor ordered... keep ticking the scoreboard"

Which doctor is he talking about

 

[Syed1]

Bhai koi spinner winner nahi hain inkay paas?

 

[Syed1]

Last 5 overs 14 runs 0 wickets



Alhumdulilah

 

[Plumb]

Which doctor is he talking about

There is this new Doc in town and he is not being respected

 

[m.shah]

MALIK is a tailender against pace

 

[Darkrai]

Fakhar should be dropped.

 

[m.shah]

There is this new Doc in town and he is not being respected

 

[Madplayer]

Will Pakistan score 200 today?
