I think they would retain the same team that won the 3rd ODI

No More Experimentation & Akhtar needs to be match fit and should train. [Coach] Waqar Younis is working hard with him. If there is a match remaining after the series is won, Akhtar might be given a chance. : Afridi

LOL

Styris has lost his mind

Napier is a 300 minimum pitch, according to Scott Styris. He has announced that he will be making a 100.

@scottbstyris ----> Napier is the best batting wicket in the world I reckon so expect 300 or thereabouts. S Styris for 100. Bank it!!

Re: 4th ODI - Pakistan vs New Zealand in Napier - Feb 01, 2011

agreed in general...I just see an opportunity in 3 areas:

  1. Bowling - Wahab was not in very good touch, even though he did take wicket, so a quality spinner such as Saeed or Abdur Rehman could make a difference if the pitch is a slow batting track.
  2. Middle order - Misbah needs to rotate the strike with more singles..he seems to be digging himself into a hole most of the time.. Also why not try Asad instead of Kamran, he has failed twice now..let Umar keep wickets
  3. Fielding as always - many wild throws and poor fielding from a few players was quite visible....

Re: 4th ODI - Pakistan vs New Zealand in Napier - Feb 01, 2011

Waqar Younis, Pakistan’s coach, said there would only be one change: will the spinner Abdur Rehman get a chance, or will they try to bring in Asad Shafiq or Shoaib Akthar?

We do need both Younis and Misbah for the middle overs but they need to rotate the strike better

Match Preview
http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zealand-v-pakistan-2010/content/story/498914.html

Christchurch witnessed a quintessentially Pakistani style of play: start slow, build a base, retain wickets, and explode in the end. It used to be the norm in 1980s before Saeed Anwar and Aamir Sohail changed that in the 90’s, but once again, without a settled opening pair, Pakistan are returning to the roots. **Not many teams can launch into a frenzied and mesmerising attack in the end overs like Pakistan can. Abdul Razzaq swinging like there is no tomorrow, Shahid Afridi swinging like there is no next moment, and the scarred opposition living on the boundary’s edge, waiting for the violence to end. As Luke Woodcock put it: “I’ve seen a bit of it on TV but to actually see it first hand, playing against him [Afridi] for the first time, it was a pretty special knock and he took the momentum away from us.” **

Let Younis and Misbah play the middle overs, preventing a collapse, and set the base for the marauders to take over. **The critics want the same thing but they wonder why the holding job can’t be performed with more purpose? Can’t Younis and Misbah take singles, keep the strike rotating, and score at a decent pace?**Their career strike rates are just over 75, which is actually ideal for the job they do, but the criticism, especially against Misbah, is that he only makes up towards the end of his knock. The sedate approach at the start increases pressure on the others and triggers self-destructive ways or so the argument goes. It will be interesting to watch their approach in the next game.

Pakistan’s bowling attack looks weak to me :frowning: (dont count too much into NZ games)

I hope they will put a better act together against better quality teams.

If Pakistan wins this game, I’ll open then next thread :jhanda:

Re: 4th ODI - Pakistan vs New Zealand in Napier - Feb 01, 2011

yep & yep they need someone who can really open the bowling attach, death overs seem to be under control with Guls yorkers…middle overs Wahab is not good enough…you need a fast accurate bowler to pair with razzaq’s medium fast well hidden away swingers..
and lets see if waleed doesn’t beat you to it…he seems to think he own the match threads now since pakistan is winning…:slight_smile:

NZ 61/3 (15)

Re: 4th ODI - Pakistan vs New Zealand in Napier - Feb 01, 2011

this bowling attack is below mediocrity!!I mean ignore the fact that they are playing against NZ and if you consider this bowling attack against the big guns like Aussies and England. Sohail tanvir doesn't look in form to me but I guess in the sub-continent spinners are the key...and we do have the likes of rehman and saeed ajmal!

Why is ajmal not playing the ODIs?
