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

[ZAK]

204/7.

 

[DonJee]

He's bowling yorker to proper batsman but lenght deliveries to Southee, why? makes you wonder sometimes whether pathans have brains or not!!!!

 

[cricfan967]

Misbah yaar, bring Wahab

 

[*sallu*]

Finally the yorker

Needs to be 3 of those per over

 

[Sledger]

What are NZ commentators on about? Suggesting something?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

And he bowls a yorker at the end.

 

[cricfan967]

What are the commentators trying to imply..

 

[zeikz123]

the commentator keeps saying "i dont know how that has opened up" is he trying to say that it has been tampered with :?

 

[akamaka]

who is this commentator? talking about ball being too damaged.

 

[DonJee]

What are the commentators trying to imply..

ball tampering ofcourse!!!

 

[cricfan967]

Please bring on Wahab!

 

[Looney]

" ball too damaged for this stage " ; " you can clearly see the scuff marks " - commentators

 

[Sledger]

206/7.

 

[ZAK]

206/7.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Rehman needs to be given a break soon.

 

[Sledger]

Can't wait for the Parore article.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

gul continues to be mysterious

 

[mr einstein]

These commentators are embarrassing. Just hit the mute button guys.

 

[*sallu*]

C'mon Gul

Clean up the tail

 

[ZAK]

Janoobi on strike.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Controversy follows even in 2011

 

[cricket_fan_1]

" ball too damaged for this stage " ; " you can clearly see the scuff marks " - commentators

way too scuffed up considering that NZ outfields are very lush

 

[moiez_no1]

Love the way camera men ... start looking at bowlers hands wen the gt the ball

 

[Looney]

Controversy follows even in 2011

i guess is not going to get a controversy-free tour ever

 

[KingKhanWC]

It's nearly an 80 over old kookabura. It's supposed to look like that. Ian Smith is have kittens for nothing.

 

[Sledger]

Southee playing everything from well back in the crease. Needs a big yorker.

 

[Sledger]

Southee playing well.

 

[godzilla]

the only question i have about the ball is why hasnt one side been looked after much more than the other?

 

[Watsupdoc]

i guess is not going to get a controversy-free tour ever

Seems like that... not a good sign

 

[*sallu*]

Thats better from Gul

 

[cricfan967]

" ball too damaged for this stage " ; " you can clearly see the scuff marks " - commentators

Thanks for providing picture Looney!

 

[ZAK]

208/7.

 

[Sledger]

208/7.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Should rest gul for the new ball and bring on Hafeez again.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

southee planning to do a vettori ??

get him out of the way...now every run is crucial

 

[Sledger]

Rehman to continue.

 

[Watsupdoc]

5 more overs...

 

[Sledger]

Rehman should bowl a 134k slider.

 

[Sledger]

209/7.

 

[Sledger]

4 overs till the new ball.

 

[ZAK]

209/7.

 

[junoonis]

This is getting frustrating.. maybe bring wahab back to attack.

 

[Sledger]

Wahab into the attack.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Some overtime today. 14 overs left to bowl.

 

[*sallu*]

Need to clean this up

 

[Watsupdoc]

wahab back please!

 

[Looney]

southee planning to do a vettori ??

get him out of the way...now every run is crucial

Yeah anything over 200 is a competitive score for us ... even on a batting track

 

[ZAK]

Wahab Riaz comes into the attack.

 

[mr einstein]

Southee playing the most controlled innings I've ever seen from him.

 

[Decipher]

absolutely batting heaven of a pitch .... there is nothing in it for the bowlers.. pak just got lucky with a couple of fluke wickets and some decent line and length by Rehman ,,,, BUT !!! Yes,,, there is a BIG BUT here ..... Watch Pak bat on the same wicket and see how it turns from day to night lol

 

[Sledger]

Bit of reverse.

 

[Decipher]

wahab back please!

Yes..,,,,,,,,,,,,,. back to Pakistan.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Should have held on to the catch at 177/7

LOL... Hope we get them AO before istumps

 

[Sledger]

Should give him a bit of chin music imo.

 

[*sallu*]

Southee looking comfortable at the crease for a no. 9

 

[cricfan967]

Good stuff by Wahab

 

[Decipher]

Bit of reverse.

Yar tum ney bhi na bas commentators sey thori bahot terms seekh li hain ... aur ab wesay he hum ghareebon pe robe jammaa rahay ho.

 

[Sledger]

Excellent length by Wahab. He's bowling it at half volley length and encouraging the drive but still getting the swing. This is what Gul should have done.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

Yeah anything over 200 is a competitive score for us ... even on a batting track

just get a lead of 100+ in the first innings...NZ will surely buckle under the pressure

 

[*sallu*]

Should bowl around the wicket and reverse it away

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yes..,,,,,,,,,,,,,. back to Pakistan.

Should we send in Irfan instead?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good over

 

[ZAK]

Maiden by Wahab. 209/7.

 

[mr einstein]

Southee doesn't realise Riaz can't bring the ball back into the right hander.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Please do not let them make 250 +

That is so typical

 

[yadunoe]

i hope shafiq performs well he is a very capable batsmen

 

[Sledger]

Great shot for four.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

to will

 

[zeikz123]

looks like misbah wants abdul rehman to bowl his arm off.. how many overs do u want this guy to bowl on the trot its crazy!

 

[Decipher]

" ball too damaged for this stage " ; " you can clearly see the scuff marks " - commentators

What does it say on the top right of the screen ips tv ?

 

[junoonis]

Does Rehman even turn the ball?? most of his balls are half volleys

 

[ZAK]

to Williamson.

 

[cricfan967]

Getting annoying now issed:

 

[cricket_fan_1]

Dom: "The BlackCaps have been trying to play like Australia for years, and they are finally giving it a decent effort. Still don't think they will lose by an innings...."

 

[Looney]

need them out

 

[Sledger]

Southee can leave all these balls.

Good pace from Riaz.

 

[sanakazmi]

wahab deserves a wicket.

 

[ZAK]

 

[cricfan967]

frustrating more :/

 

[Decipher]

Rubbish Wahab.... cant even bother no 8 or 9 ... kesa bowler hai yar ye ?? ulta chokay pe choka khaa raha hai
