New Zealand vs Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Saxton Oval | Jan 9, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

**kingusama92** · 8th January 2018, 22:51

Horrible shot.

If you're going to do that might as well have left the field during that review.

**TheInaudibleParadox** · 8th January 2018, 22:51

Sarfraz needs to be dropped. Frankly at this point idc how good your captaincy is this is disgraceful.

**Railu Katta** · 8th January 2018, 22:51

SARFI IS A TAILENDER! This guy should be sacked for sheer stupidity.

**Syed1** · 8th January 2018, 22:51

Dafa ho... this guy is still in CT celebration mode get lost

**GLORY OF '92** · 8th January 2018, 22:51

Sarfraz needs to take a look at himself.

**jog_1** · 8th January 2018, 22:51

Sarfraz’s batting is trash. His purple patch is over. Dude can’t play spin or fast bowling, bats like a tailender.

**Arham_PakFan** · 8th January 2018, 22:51

Absolute bonkers from Sarfraz..

Shadab walks in to bat.

**imshally81** · 8th January 2018, 22:52

Good fielding..

**IMMY69** · 8th January 2018, 22:52

Agreed.

People have short memories.
His runs against England and then India in CT were equally classy.

**castortroy** · 8th January 2018, 22:52

Remember when he wasn't captain. He was such a energetic batsman. Considering how poor he is as a keeper, he really needs to start scoring runs or his place in the team should come under question

**Third Man** · 8th January 2018, 22:52

What a terrible shot. Captain looks schoolboyish out there.

**Pete Rose** · 8th January 2018, 22:52

captain feeling pressure,.

**Sirris** · 8th January 2018, 22:52

Can the real batting begin now?

**Noman** · 8th January 2018, 22:52

**QalandarFan** · 8th January 2018, 22:52

Honestly the only thing sarfraz is in the team these days is for his captaincy. Keeping dismayal, as for batting he is struggling against the spinners these days too.

**TeymurBlake** · 8th January 2018, 22:52

Sarfraz has just looked like a different player. How did he pass the fitness tests.

**Sadevdesai** · 8th January 2018, 22:53

Biggest Dead Weight in the Team !!!!

**Pete Rose** · 8th January 2018, 22:53

pakistan's true batting starts now. really important for hafeez to keep scoreboard ticking so that the newbies settle

**castortroy** · 8th January 2018, 22:53

We need another batsman in the team. Can't have sarfraz coming up as high as he is

**CricFan2012** · 8th January 2018, 22:53

How the hell is a professional sports person so unfit like Saffaraz? No wonder no one outside Asia takes this sport seriously when they see players like these, shameful.

**Zeshan547** · 8th January 2018, 22:53

that's what happens when you take things for granted, specialist captain can't even survive against spin now, sooner we get rid of such lazy bum better it will be.

**waleed88** · 8th January 2018, 22:53

Sarfraz looks like captaincy and keeping is affecting his form...

**QalandarFan** · 8th January 2018, 22:53

Shahdab “Bradman” Khan averaging 96 at only 19

**7sins** · 8th January 2018, 22:53

So sarfraz become this much desperate after only facing 6 balls is he playing t10 league

**Syed1** · 8th January 2018, 22:53

We will crawl our way to 220

**srh** · 8th January 2018, 22:53

Sarfraz was out of breath; he is unfit and should be dropped

**CricFan2012** · 8th January 2018, 22:54

Need Hafeez to play a Bhuvan type innings from Lagaan and Shadab to play Ismails, get us to 270 boys!

**kingusama92** · 8th January 2018, 22:54

It's crazy but Shadab looks a far better batsman than Sarfraz. More organized.

**imshally81** · 8th January 2018, 22:54

Ferguson replaced Boult...

**MMHS** · 8th January 2018, 22:54

**Pete Rose** · 8th January 2018, 22:54

shadab's facging first two balls > azhar, hafeez, babar, sarfaraz,.

**TeymurBlake** · 8th January 2018, 22:54

Its amazing what happens when you stop focusing on your fitness. He needs to lose some pounds.

**QalandarFan** · 8th January 2018, 22:54

Hafeez has always done generally well in NZ which is quite interesting.

**Theo_14** · 8th January 2018, 22:54

Made the call weeks ago - Saffy is out of form, a toxic to players when shouting, tactically lost.

**KingKhanWC** · 8th January 2018, 22:55

The game looks gone now, time to play for pride

**MeanAndGreen** · 8th January 2018, 22:55

Absolutely disgraceful innings from Sarfraz. Completely pathetic. Plays and misses, could've been run-out on a regulation double, close call on an lbw and finally ended the misery by walking past a half tracker.

Unfit, poor attitude and poor form. If he keeps this up he could be out of the team soon.

**castortroy** · 8th January 2018, 22:55

His keeping is poor and his batting has been going downhill for a while now.

Don't we have any other keeper batsman?

**Pete Rose** · 8th January 2018, 22:55

no just sarfaraz

**imshally81** · 8th January 2018, 22:55

Easy Shadab easy

**troodon** · 8th January 2018, 22:56

Mamoon: "i guess sarfaraz finally succeeds :/"

Above is from cricinfo.

**Rana** · 8th January 2018, 22:56

Sarfaraz has lost that early spark in which he was being supported all ends up. Seems like a liability these days

**dauntless** · 8th January 2018, 22:56

Fatty captain should be the first to kicked out of the team

**Arham_PakFan** · 8th January 2018, 22:56

Sheer incompetency by Sarfraz.Needs to shed weight and get his head together.

Afridi was kept in the team for so long because of that one performance, Sarfaraz could be in this team just because of CT for a couple years despite a 30 average

The thing that puzzles me is how he shouts at the players with such confidence as if he himself is perfect.

**Eagle_Eye** · 8th January 2018, 22:57

I said back in August ... within a year all the fans will be calling for Sarfraz head.... luck will run out. And it has now.

Atleast Afridi was a match winner and entertaining every once in a while Sarfraz has done nothing since 2017.

I've said it in the past, this guy is simply coasting on the performances of other players.

Well and truly a specialist captain.

That's what you call a rotten apple in the changing room when it comes to football.

**Syed1** · 8th January 2018, 22:58

NZ will chase it down with ease

**Rana** · 8th January 2018, 22:59

Shadab Khan is an absolute joker with his shots against express pace

**CricFan2012** · 8th January 2018, 22:59

Shadab looks like a better batsman than Azhar and Sarfaraz

**Pete Rose** · 8th January 2018, 22:59

while we should dump on sarfaraz, but calling afridi a match winner is an insult to any half serious cricketer out there,

**Arham_PakFan** · 8th January 2018, 22:59

WASP predicts a total of 219

**aloo paratha** · 8th January 2018, 22:59

Hafeez with a really good innings. I've got no problem with him in the team as long as he's not playing selfishly, like he was previously.

Maybe he could open instead of azhar?

**MRSN** · 8th January 2018, 22:59

this luck has to do with purple patch of our fast bowlers so in reality he was never tested. He was always mediocre.

**MeanAndGreen** · 8th January 2018, 23:00

Some of the Pakistani players ought to be ashamed of themselves today.

Babar, Malik and Sarfraz all looked out of sync and made some really poor decisions for senior players.

**CricFan2012** · 8th January 2018, 23:00

He's primarily a leg spinner, and does a really good job at that so his batting is a bonus, he has a nice stance and shots, just needs to practice more

reminder...this is a selfish innings tills pakistan scores about 270 odd

**imshally81** · 8th January 2018, 23:00

6 balls.... 6 singles
wow just wow

**Arham_PakFan** · 8th January 2018, 23:00

Six singles off the over.

UP · 8th January 2018, 23:00

Need a 120 runs partnership between these two.

How?

Hileay retired at 35, Doujon at 35, Knott at 34 ....... and these are ages based on their birth certificate, issued from the hospital/nursing home at the time of biological birth.

**Adnan_Ilyas** · 8th January 2018, 23:00

Shadab is batting much better than Sarfi

**Pete Rose** · 8th January 2018, 23:00

he did get us over the line vs SL in CT. so we shouldnt get total amnesia

**Syed1** · 8th January 2018, 23:00

I wouldnt mind Fakhar being given the captaincy... atleast he gets into the side on merit, but knowing our management it'll probably go to Malik or Hafeez or worse Azhar Ali

**dauntless** · 8th January 2018, 23:01

Lockie's moustaches though! Funny and annoying

**CricFan2012** · 8th January 2018, 23:01

Astle is a typical tape ball bowler, even I can bash him to all parts, Hafy bhai is in too much respect giving mode

**MeanAndGreen** · 8th January 2018, 23:01

Ironically, the guy everyone was criticising before the match has looked like he is batting on a different pitch.

**7sins** · 8th January 2018, 23:01

Shadab is easily a number 4 batsmen

**Arham_PakFan** · 8th January 2018, 23:02

Another good single.Shadab is good enough to bat at 4

**Eagle_Eye** · 8th January 2018, 23:02

It was obvious .... Hassan turned world class and fakhar changed the fortunes with the bat and Sarfraz started milking the gravy train.

you cant build a new team (especially in Pakistan) without cutting links from the past. if they drop these three: for experience inzi will being shehzad, akmal brothers back

**MRSN** · 8th January 2018, 23:02

yes courtesy of lots of chances or 'luck'. It was Amir's knock which was more solid.

**Syed1** · 8th January 2018, 23:02

Shadab is looking better than Babar, Azhar, Imam, Malik and Sarfaraz

**CricFan2012** · 8th January 2018, 23:03

I would still discard Hafy bhai for Harris.

Hafy bhai scores once in every twenty games like this, I called this at the beginning of the match, he will keep scoring cheeky runs if we keep him, Harris is a more consistent cricketer

**Shafi** · 8th January 2018, 23:03

Basically we have learned nothing from last tour. In fact it looks worse
