Pakistan vs NewZealand ODI series 2003

why the hell pakistan needed to use 8 bowlers?
Anyway, we'll inshallah win 5-0. Good performance by our batsmen.

Looks like that Pakistan opening problems are finally answered with Imran/Yasir in ODIs and Imran/Taufeeq in tests… Their abilities will be clear in tour of NZL…

Well played pakistan :jhanda:

Perhaps because the game was in the bag so for their "practise" or may be to "discover" their hidden potential :)

It was Marshall… not Harshall

Bad light. Had to bowl the overs quickly or the match might have gone the Duckward Lewis way. the umpires had a few meetings about the light toward the finishing part of the game.

:hehe:

u need to bowl only 25 overs to make the match count....
and i dont think PAK had any worries about D/L method....
NZ run rate was always below par....

it was just a matter of 'having fun', nothing else that made the batsmen have a go at the bowling....

lol…you must be shocked at the dot ball…lol

Well, the series is in after playing with determination and resolution… Congrats! :jhanda:

Fine batting by top-order and some by mid-order but losing 3 wickets in the last over is bit disturbing…

Also was encouraging to try some part-time bowlers when the captain thought that the match is beyond losing…so we can fall back on these bowlers when the regulars are having bad day etc… :slight_smile:

The next 2 matches we should play with great care because NZ may try to strike back…though winning all matches are not important to me!

These are Javed Miandad’s bowling stats:

But Javed started his career as a part time bowler.

This are Imran Farhat's first class bowling stats.. not bad for a part timer,
