Shadab bowled just beautifully. He was just too good. And de Grandhomme! Watta comeback!
Grandhomme was too good.

One of the worsr bowler ever Grandhommee played a champions knock with the bat. Well played newzeland. It was just too good. Pakistn on the other hand needs to drop immediately Aamir, Hasan Ali (to taste him some dance), Malik and Rumman right away. Get a proper opener alongside Fakhar Zaman, Sarfraz needs to bat up at No. 4 as well as Haris needs to reduce his weight. The biggest change at this stage should be dropping aamir for sometime to make him realize where he is going wrong to be such a genuine wicketless bowler for two years now, Hasan for a couple of matches to make him understand that He needs a lot to reach to the level of Waqar Younis as its a long way to go and Malik.. well drop him forever
He is good in swinging conditions in Tests and in T20s, where he is good at bowling dots. But in ODIs and Tests on flat pitches needs to improve big time.Amir played county cricket for Essex for good 2-3 months straight after the CT 2017 and had a decent outing its really a surprise to see him not picking wickets in conditions such as NZ.
Don't forget Dhawan.After picking Rohit and Kohli, I barely saw Amir picking a wicket.
Did you feel happy when Pakistan won ICC CT2017?
Every captain banks heavily on his best players. I think you're being way too harsh. It's ok to criticise after a loss, but it's better not to exaggerate. Hasan and Babar were disappointing yes, but no captain on Earth would drop them right now. Agreed, Rumman looks like a T20 bowler only, but he's in the team only because Junaid and Shinwari are injured.If you were around that time you could see the happiness and comments. When the team is making blunders criticism will come. Selecting in the final elevens shouldnt be a safe entry for anyone be it aamir, hasan ali or anyone. In my view, sarfraz banks heavily on certain players.

Just remember that NZ aren't a bad side at home, in fact, it's quite the opposite. The last time India toured, they lost 4-0 in the ODIs. NZ have lost just two ODI series at home in the past 5 years, both against South Africa.
Agree with Amir, but Hasan should be given a chance. He's one of the best in the world, there's no doubt about that.True that a leader banks heavily on his best players what I didnt like is when you expect to get a fixed place in the team in every game no matter when you are performing so bad. I saod to drop hasan ali for one or two matches to make him more focused, but aamir should be dropped from an entire series or bench him for more matches because of his bad performance rather than fitness. Aamir is very good in big tournament matches but on a general level he is unable to get wickets.. still going way off crease and unable to swing the ball before, while media and ppl started chanting for Hasan Ali as next Waqar Younis. We should be easy on this thing as well and give the guy more time to see how it goes. All I m asking is to make a good combination based on performance rather than friendships and senority. I would love yo drop aamir and rumman when junaid and shinware will be back. Aamir is certainly our asset but he should realize to get back his form sooner than later...

Ross Taylor and Tom Latham will do everything tomorrow to get an IPL11CONTACT
Pakistan need to focus on middle order combination for next overseas tours.
Sorry..My prediction 5-0.
