New Zealand v Pakistan | 1st Test | 07/01/11 | Hamilton | Day 1 : Session 3

[talha3]

Who was the poster that predicted 175-5???

 

[Inswinger]

not funny at all

It is funny if you understand it.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

on an unrelated note 'Steyn Gun averages 19 with the ball against India and 30 against Pakistan............so much for famous batting line-up'

abu dhabi = centurion ??

care about the match at hand mate...

 

[cricfan967]

Good yorker by Tanvir

 

[Seen Sheen]

Ball is definitely reversing BUT at Tan's pace it seems quite managable...

 

[hur rizvi]

give the ball to Gul ... tanvir is too slow

 

[cricket_fan_1]

close them out before 250...aim for a lead of 100-150...NZ will certainly buckle under pressure...

 

[cricfan967]

Gul should be bowling from one end Rehman or Wahab at the other

 

[ZAK]

176/5.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

is umar gul injured...i thought he would bowl straight after the tea break...

 

[mr einstein]

Theres nothing in the pitch

Asif would have been the same in such conditions

You need pacy bowlers to extract something here

A pitch is as flat as the bowlers bowling on it.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Simon Doull and Rameez Raja. What a combination.

 

[Krishnan]

Pakistan has to make way into the tail soon.Last time though we won here by an innings we let them get away from 60-6 to 280 odd.and vettori was the guy.So sooner they get rid of vettori,the better

 

[*sallu*]

A pitch is as flat as the bowlers bowling on it.

Talk about making up your own cricketing quotes

 

[emclub]

abu dhabi = centurion ??

care about the match at hand mate...

Talkin about overall figures mate not 2-3 matches......BEST Batting line-up ever lol

 

[Inswinger]

is umar gul injured...i thought he would bowl straight after the tea break...

No, he isn't injured. Bowled a very long spell in the second session and is being given a breather.

 

[cricfan967]

Rehmans been brilliant all day

 

[cricket_fan_1]

finally...some life in the com box...rameez raja is atleast vocal...

 

[Seen Sheen]

Umar Akmal doesn't field at short leg and he's a pretty poor catcher anyway.

That's harsh. He has improved his fielding quite a lot of late...

 

[Inswinger]

Guys, let's keep it to this match.

 

[Sledger]

lbw. Rehman strikes again!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Gone....Pressure did the trick...

 

[hur rizvi]

 

[cricket_fan_1]

Talkin about overall figures mate not 2-3 matches......BEST Batting line-up ever lol

no problem...we are managing what ever position we are in with this pathetic lineup

 

[cricfan967]

Plumb

Rayman you beaut!

 

[emclub]

Yes OUT,,,,,,,,,,Manna Cha gaya

 

[MRSN]

quicker one is coming........

 

[pakbl10]

 

[KingKhanWC]

Half way up middle, Daryl.

 

[MRSN]

)

just I said

 

[cricfan967]

We have to get Dan early.
Last time he made us suffer.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

rehman reaps the benifits of unrelenting pressure

 

[ZAK]

 

[Seen Sheen]

Not much bounce in the pitch, would have probabaly hit the top of off..

 

[Sledger]

That's harsh. He has improved his fielding quite a lot of late...

Never been that bad at ground fielding, he's been a poor catcher for some time.

 

[hur rizvi]

vettori is the key now ...

 

[cricfan967]

It was dead straight but he was quite a long way up.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

shut them out under 250...

 

[godzilla]

why is rameez being so negative on rehman? he said he wasnt realy a test bowler when he first came on, and doesnt have the integrity to admit he was wrong. hes even trying to hint that that wicket shouldnt have been given because he was so far forward. rameez has really got some problems.

 

[cricfan967]

we get dan and this innings will wrap up quite nicely.

 

[mr einstein]

Talk about making up your own cricketing quotes

Meh. It fits my views. Both teams have sub-par bowling lineups, therefore the pitch will look flat.

 

[emclub]

Youngstaaa is Beauty 20-9-35-3

 

[Seen Sheen]

I get a feeling it might have hit his fore arm..

 

[Sledger]

Vettori is a dangerous player for Pak lol.

 

[KingKhanWC]

He came in at a similar position last year and got them to 400+

 

[Decipher]

176 for 6 ....

NZ has surely put enough on the board to take first inning lead.... rest of runs made by the last 4 wickets will be bonus for NZ.

 

[Inswinger]

Never been that bad at ground fielding, he's been a poor catcher for some time.

Poor catcher close to the bat but he hasn't dropped any in the outfield. Also has a strong and accurate arm.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

will ajmal be back in time for the 2nd test ??

 

[cricfan967]

Guess this makes up for the McCullum decision

 

[ZAK]

Wicket maiden by Rehman. 176/6.

 

[Inswinger]

176 for 6 ....

NZ has surely put enough on the board to take first inning lead.... rest of runs made by the last 4 wickets will be bonus for NZ.

Why even bother watching with such looser mentality?

 

[Saqs]

Gotdamn what is with Cricinfo's insistence on publishing every damn email!

 

[abdulqadir786]

out

 

[cricfan967]

will ajmal be back in time for the 2nd test ??

Don't think they'll be room for him the way Rehman's playing, unless he replaces a quickie.

 

[Sledger]

Tanvir getting some reverse swing here but not quick enough. Get Gul on!!

 

[*sallu*]

This right here is the key wicket, Vettori, forever the bane of the Pakistan bowling line up

 

[Random Aussie]

Pakistan are in a very strong position now.

 

[cricfan967]

Vettori will make us suffer like he did last time around, must get him before he gets settled in.

 

[Desi]

"very rarely you get LBWs playing sweeps against spinners"

our very own ramiz raja


sigh

 

[Seen Sheen]

Never been that bad at ground fielding, he's been a poor catcher for some time.

I was talking about his catching actually, has definitely worked on it..

 

[Random Aussie]

Gotdamn what is with Cricinfo's insistence on publishing every damn email!

They are trying to be like the Guardian over by over reports. Which are actually funny. CricIndia is not funny and shouldn't try. Just report the game fools.

 

[ZAK]

STFU Rameez please.

 

[zeikz123]

tanvir's been a very flat bowler, i guess they will try the other tanvir in the 2nd test

 

[*sallu*]

Tanvir getting some serious reverse, needs to up his pace and he will start troubling the batsmen

Giving time to adjust at the moment though

 

[cricket_fan_1]

Don't think they'll be room for him the way Rehman's playing, unless he replaces a quickie.

he should replace tanvir ahmed in the lineup...considering the semi flat pitches in NZ these days

 

[Looney]

Yaar udhar cricket ho rahi hai Neo waalay apni Chocolati Layla dikhane se baaz nahi aate These South Asian channels are so unprofessional and greedy

 

[Sledger]

I was talking about his catching actually, has definitely worked on it..

He dropped a few in England.

 

[Sledger]

Plumb

 

[KingKhanWC]

Skipper gonoe.

 

[Seen Sheen]

[Sledger]

[ZAK]

nvir you old beauty!!!!

 

[MRSN]

Never been that bad at ground fielding, he's been a poor catcher for some time.
