New Zealand v Pakistan | 1st Test | 07/01/11 | Hamilton | Day 1 : Session 1

[KSaeed]

oh tennu ki hougaya wey?

lol- good ol' Punjabi

 

[AZ]

please do not indulge in fake commentary.

 

[IAJ]

Even the wicket in UAE/Dubai was better than this one. Tanvir got alot of swing there!

 

[ZAK]

Maiden. 39/1.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

39/1

 

[NJamal]

Maiden by Tanvir 39/1 after 12 overs

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

Whitedude keep an eye on irregular patterns. But personally i dont think match is fixed because misbah is eyeing on ODI captaincy.

nothing irregular so far, only MUG money wanting to get on NZ at a stupidly short price imo

NZ 2.02

Pak 6.20

Draw 2.94

i'll be doing a u-turn soon

 

[ballack13]

good maiden both bowlers with same eco rate

 

[KSaeed]

Good over

 

[cricfan967]

Wabi in, finally.

 

[pakbl10]

39/1 12 overs gone

 

[NJamal]

Wahab comes to bowl now

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

on.

 

[ballack13]

wahab in

 

[ZAK]

Wahab Riaz comes into the attack.

 

[Hamxa89]

The sun is out

Poor decision from Misbah to ball first. Looks a pretty good batting track. The ball will always do this much in NZ regardless of the pitch conditions. The over-night rain hasn't done anything which probably was the reason for Misbah's decision.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I think YK should be given a go here, think he could get some swing here.

 

[KSaeed]

both bowlers have economy of 3.17

 

[KingKhanWC]

You look at the pitch above all else...this is not a bowl-first pitch, simple as. Even on greenish wickets the captain often chooses to bat first - it's just safer.

Probably not and yes a lot of skips would have batted first but the first morning is best for bowling and Pak's best chance to keep NZ to a lowish total.

We just need a wicket here and could run through the rest.

Maybe he studied the wrong weather forecast

 

[iZeeshan]

Don't understand why we're bowling first.

We could be 40/0 right now, instead we're looking at NZ about to score big

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wahab on and single off 1st ball.

 

[cricfan967]

How does Misbah have an MBA

 

[KSaeed]

Wahab bowling pretty fast

 

[ahmed_1986]

Wahab seems to have a wrestler's makeup on with so much sun blog on his face.

 

[Free Hit]

Don't understand why we're bowling first.

We could be 40/0 right now, instead we're looking at NZ about to score big

yaar, have patience, thats the reason people dont prefer being on pakpassion at match time, due to trolls

 

[ballack13]

dont understand why pak players skins are so sensitive.

ourto ki tara mask laga ki aja teh hain

 

[Fehzan]

You know what, If Asif and Aamer were here I'd understand. Not in this case, it's a little ridiculous

 

[inzy_paratha]

wahab has a really ugly runup

 

[AZ]

decent over from

 

[NJamal]

41/1 and its drinks

 

[IAJ]

oh close one that last delivery!

 

[Seen Sheen]

ufffff, so close....In the end a good leave on length...

 

[Fawad2010]

I hope they are taking care of the ball to extract reverse later.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Drinks

 

[ZAK]

Well left by Mccullum.

 

[KSaeed]

dont understand why pak players skins are so sensitive.

ourto ki tara mask laga ki aja teh hain

I kn;ow- they're brown for good sake- they ain't gonna get sun burnt. I'm speaking from personal experience here

 

[cricfan4ever]

need McCullum & Guptill out before Lunch...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kiwis 41/1 @ Drinks.

 

[KingKhanWC]

You know what, If Asif and Aamer were here I'd understand. Not in this case, it's a little ridiculous

It's only the first hour. A couple of wickets in the second and it's justified. It was worth a gamble esp with our batting over recent years.

 

[ahmed_1986]

Where is Waqar younis ? Qatar or with the team in NZ?

 

[ballack13]

now i know why experienced posters were calling this bowling attack weak.

 

[IAJ]

Umar Gul will blow away this NZ team with reverse swing after lunch inshAllah

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Kiwis done pretty well in the 1st hour so far

41/1 off 13 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lets get to end of day 1 before anyone decides if it was good move to bowl 1st or not.

 

[KSaeed]

Gonna go bed soon- this is way too dull

 

[AZ]

finally some quality in the comm box.

Shane Bond

 

[ZAK]

Shane Bond is in the comm box.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Shane bond commentating.

 

[cricfan967]

Everyone saying it's shocking to bowl first

 

[ballack13]

I kn;ow- they're brown for good sake- they ain't gonna get sun burnt. I'm speaking from personal experience here

might even improve some of their looks.
:umarakmal :adnan

 

[Fawad2010]

Where is Waqar younis ? Qatar or with the team in NZ?

He's in NZ, he will testify through phone.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hardly any movement now

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Suns Out

 

[ballack13]

what do you guys think time for spin?

Hafeez or Rehman?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Easy batting conditions I guess now

 

[taxzu]

nothing irregular so far, only MUG money wanting to get on NZ at a stupidly short price imo

NZ 2.02

Pak 6.20

Draw 2.94

i'll be doing a u-turn soon

Looks like market has lost all hopes on pakistan.

 

[Seen Sheen]

at Kiwi Commies, they are thinking about a McCullum hundred...

 

[AZ]

Gupta is playing Tanvir with a lot of ease.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Clear skies

 

[shokz1408]

This match is boring to watch, Thought I would watch all of it, but after the 1st hour that aint happening.

 

[billllal]

partnership going up 32 runs now

 

[ZAK]

42/1.

 

[90MPH]

Like I said earlier a stupid decision to bowl first. If we had bowlers of the two A's or pitch was green all over then fair enough gamble but it just seems they were afraid of getting bundled out under 100 if they had bat first.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

42/1

 

[billllal]

this match looks a draw

 

[AZ]

Wahab not wearing not 1 or 2 but 3 sweatbands

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pak gone defensive

 

[billllal]

i think these are enough runs for kiwis to declare and win by an innings

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

finally some quality in the comm box.

Shane Bond

khair to hai na az bhaii

 

[Hamxa89]

Kinda getting boring now.

 

[ballack13]

Rameez started to change his look after criticism in UAE I think.

DON banke aya hua hain.

same goes for Rehman.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Like I said earlier a stupid decision to bowl first. If we had bowlers of the two A's or pitch was green all over then fair enough gamble but it just seems they were afraid of getting bundled out under 100 if they had bat first.

THIS. A ' buzdilana' move by kuptaan....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pak pace attack lacking venom

 

[billllal]

3 more deliveries n then im off to bed

 

[90MPH]

Wahab looks very ordinary without a in-ducker to the right handers.

 

[billllal]

2 now

 

[AZ]

when the heck will PPers stop whinging?

1 HOUR into the match and already crying.

pls go and watch Tom & Jerry, this stuff is not for you.

 

[ZAK]

Guptill goes after one but misses.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Maiden by Wahab

42/1
