Pakistan just batted poorly. That 1 win on this tour in that T20 was a total one off where things just clicked on a road that day. But get them on a tacky wicket offering a bit to the bowlers and they fold.

Pakistan very lucky to get tours like this.............for a team that hasn't shown much in the past 12 months:
Couldn't show the whole thing, So I pasted it:
Lost a T20I to Ireland
Lost a T20I to USA
Failed to qualify for the second stage of the T20 World Cup
Lost a Test series 2-0 at home to Bangladesh
Lost a Test match by an innings after scoring 556 runs in the first innings
Lost a ODI to Zimbabwe
Lost a T20I to Zimbabwe
Failed to win a single match in the Champions Trophy
Failed to qualify for the Champions Trophy semi-finals
Worst ever defeat in T20I history
Conceded 92 runs in the first 6 overs of a T20I

Jahandad is opening your bowling, he is like a poor mans (thinks of Australian cricketer) maybe Mick Lewis? Or its like getting Martyn or Ponting in their hey day to open the bowling. Absolutely lunacy from Pakistan and Im not having a bar of it. You play Afridi all day , every day on a tour like this.
Jahandad isn't even good enough to be in a 6th tier let alone 3rd tier Australian team. The guy is a joke .

Im all good for trying tactics and all but they persisted with Jahandad for the 1st and 6th overs.
Whatever gains Pakistan have gained on this tour have been eroded by this performance tonight.

A comprehensive thrashing tonight to finish off a one sided T20 series, hopefully Pakistan are more competitive in the ODI series.

Given what NZ did to them in the Champions Trophy I highly doubt it. NZ could have posted 250+ batting first tonight and Im not kidding when I say that.
Alot of these Kiwi players would still be good enough to play in the IPL: Jamieson, Finn Allen, Tim Siefert, Jimmy Neesham, Michael Bracewell and Mark Chapman. Just when one think Pakistan has turned a corner, they dish up that tonight.
But hey if Australia lost to Pakistan in an ODI series at home last season, you can never write Pakistan off. Its still a mystery why Australia lost to this lot last summer- they really aren't anything special. I do understand having the like of : Afridi, Babar and Rizwan makes some sort of difference but maybe its T20 which is Pakistans weakness rather than ODI cricket?

NZ should win the ODI series 3-0 but Pakistan might pinch a win like they did in the T20 series, upsets are easier in T20s though.

Yes they should win it 3-0 especially in NZ.
Tonights game was like men v boys. Id be staggered if Pakistan came back from this . For NZ, the only thing and I repeat the only thing that potentially could see them lose a game or even the series is complacency. But I tell ya, these Kiwi lads there will be none of that. They know once the IPL boys come back, none of their spots are assured. Its a chance for some of these lads to cement and enhance lock in their spots for future tours etc given the amount of international cricket there is globally.
We live in a society where people throw crazy amounts of cash for little these days.

And Ill say another thing, what Pakistan dished up tonight, I reckon all the spectators that came to the ground at Sky Stadium in Wellington, should get at least a 25% refund given that game finished in within 30 overs.

Another easy win for the Black Caps, good to see Chapman living up to his potential with a ton along with a good fifty from Abbas.
We are building some good depth with both our batsmen and bowlers.
