If Pakistan wins this Test, it will be twice or thrice a bigger achievement then India winning MCG

[Bhaijaan]

Chasing big **** is no joke, especially in SENA.

This is unbelievable stuff from Fawad.

 

[Cuts_and_cuts_hard]

lol. ok

 

[trickyone]

I think they should try last 10 overs to chase 60 odd runs if they are only 4 wicket down

 

[El Generico]

Pointless thread, even if Pakistan wins there is really no need for a comparison.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

And that good thing is that fawad is only 36. Plenty of time, still, to have a decent career in test cricket. Misbah knows the importance of experienced hands in test cricket. He can play 40-50 more tests atleast.

 

[giri26]

I don't think they are going for a win here. A draw will be a fantastic result for Pakistan. Brilliant batting so far from Fawad and Rizwan. Rizwan has been brilliant with the bat so far this game and Fawad has finally repaid the faith his fans have had on him. This has been a brilliant hundred under pressure. Just 1 run from the last three overs, seems like they are taking the cautious approach and don't want New Zealand to get a sniff. The two in the middle know that another wicket might spark a collapse.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pardon me, but I am a man of high passion.

Seeing Pakistan 230/4 trying to chase down 370 in NZ of all places gets me excited as anything. I am praying for Pakistan to win this.

If they do, this will go down as among the greatest test wins by an #AsianBloc nation in SENA

If they don't, this will still go down as a legendary effort much like Sunny Gavaskar's 226 that almost helped India chase down a mammoth total in England back in the 70s-80s

 

[Thomaskutty]

*** is wrong with you? Why are you trying to bring their religion into this?

What are you offended about? That is a standard celebration for many Pak teams after a good performance. I've seen many like Younis and others do it.

 

[Bhaijaan]

The comparison comes after most Indian fans declared our win at MCG as our best. In the context, it felt sweet, but we dominated that test from.first day and had a great lead.

There is no way India is chasing down 200 in SENA let alone 350+. Way out of our league

Lol on this pitch, India would be chasing it down easily.

If pakistan plays a draw we will have our place booked for the WTC finals.

Remember last time india played in New Zealand in test matches they were throughly smashed by this team , this is a brilliant performance by pakistan considering they are still competing with a high class level of opposition whilst missing their best batsmen, and dropping catches in 1st inns which would have reduced the deficit considerably , handicapped in sense of no other bowlers supporting shaheen so essentially playing with 1 strike bowler lol and having a totally impotent openers

 

[Mobashir]

We are not winning this, we should go for a draw.
It's quite impossible to win from this position. But even a draw will be formidable.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Lol on this pitch, India would be chasing it down easily.

Please don't overrate us.
I am damn sure we would have gotten all out on 200, this is a proper underdog effort.

 

[Thomaskutty]

Yikes .. 25 overs to go .. only 5 wickets needed now.

 

[Ab Fan]

Let's all hope for a memorable Pakistan win today. This is a special performance from them.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Play like a t10 in last 10 overs if both fawad and rizwan are here.

Love it when India and Pakistan unknowingly play brothers part and motivate each other.

Has anyone ever noticed, India and Pakistan lose together and having wining runs together as well. It's strange Karan Arjun bond we have.

It's like Royal Rumble, when Taker and Kane clear their opponents staring at each other

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lol on this pitch, India would be chasing it down easily.

I have been watching cricket for 20+ years and have seen India makena mess of chase on every kind of pitch home and abroad. How many times has India ever chased down 200+ in SENA?

 

[Savak]

Will be grateful for the draw.

 

[giri26]

Please don't overrate us.

We batted horrendously earlier year in New Zealand. Despite the collapse in the first innings Pakistan has out-batted us already on this tour. I thing we got past 200 only once in 4 innings and despite taking a lead in the second test we collapsed to 130 odd to lose the game. The bowling wasn't that flash either as Ishant was our best pacer but he got injured after the first Test. Bumrah struggled so did the rest of the bowlers.

Remember only Adelaide 2003 (236 I think) in recent times. I don't think we have chased and won any game with the target about 200 in those countries in the last 30 years at least.

 

[Hitman]

Fawad gone. 4 more wickets left.

 

[Sachin136]

For sure. Chasing 373 overseas is ridiculously difficult and would be more impressive even though NZ is a weaker team than Australia.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Yaar ye threads baad mai banaya karo. Hum Pakistani log hamesha zaleel hi hotay hain akhir mai

 

[Hitman]

Yasir Shah gone. 3 wickets left. This is the beauty of Test cricket. What an excellent match. Such a shame the match isn't being broadcast in India.

 

[Bhaijaan]

I am so sorry for this unintentional jinx my brothers.

 

[Thomaskutty]

I am so sorry for this unintentional jinx my brothers.

You knew this was going to happen. We all did.

 

[Hitman]

Faheem Ashraf gone. 2 more wickets left.

 

[Runner Up]

No chance. 16 overs left. Match over but well done young boys.

Be positive.

Monty saved one, Abbas can do as well.

Nope. Not even with Kohli in the team.

The closest that comes to mind is India making 366 while chasing 400-odd in NZ a few years ago. Then there was Kohli's effort at Adelaide where they fell short by 20-30 runs.

[Hitman]

And New Zealand wins. Well played.

 

[Sir Alex]

What a thread. Eventually loses by over a 100 runs.

 

[dravidthewall]

If rizwan and fawad stayed for last 10 overs , the result of the match was different.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Bhaijaan jinxed it.. now whether it was on purpose or not.. we will never know.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Congratulations to NZ. They are a humanist team and for that I respect them.

But it would not be disrespectful to say that as a die hard PCT fan, I feel somewhat hurt.

 

[Hasan123]

Wish I had OPs faith.

 

[shamaan]

Great effort and resilance unlucky not to get a draw at the end

 

[Birdman]

Nothing can beat the achievement of 36 by our overpaid heros.
