304 is a tall order.

106

I agree - and they need to keep the run rate around 5-5.5 to avoid a pressure situation in the end.

Comment from Reader:
Jason: "Pakistan's best chance of victory is to hope for 3 quick wickets. If Salman Butt, Khalid Latif, and Younis Khan manage to stay in for a while the required run rate will spiral out of control and become too much to ask of the middle & lower order, so it's better if they get out of the way early!"

From cricinfo :-

Mudassar: "I do not like pakistan's 1980's strategy being applied in this era...as game has changed. I think we need atleast one aggressive opener, butt and khalid both are very defensive. Butt has been very disappointing, very sloppy in the field, unable to score any runs. He should be replaced with Farhat, and Umer akmal should get a chance to open. "

Pakistan is playing like India used to play in the 80s - start slow & safe - and put pressure on the middle & lower order :)

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - Second ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Friday 6th Nov

Pak run rate is 3.84....asking rate is upto 6.55 !!

117

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - Second ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Friday 6th Nov

^^Or NZ bowlers are containing them,not giving the batsmen any room to cut loose ?

118

Re: Pakistan vs NZ - Second ODI @ Abu Dhabi - Friday 6th Nov

Just 47 runs off the first 10 power overs...Pakistan succeeded to retain the opening wickets...

From Cricinfo:

*Grubb: "I think you guys underestimate the psychological effect of the restrained start/explosive ending strategy on other teams. It has served Pakistan well in the past, and it sure puts the fear of God into me!" *

Pak 55/0 off 11.3 overs
