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

[Looney]

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

not as easy as it sounds , believe me

 

[anakwalajinn]

at least we do not have a defensive field

 

[yadunoe]

why has hafeez only bowled 2 overs

 

[Sledger]

218/7

 

[cricket_fan_1]

this is becoming a trend these days...every team is letting the opposition tail wag after getting the top wickets cheaply

 

[ZAK]

218/7.

 

[Sledger]

Rehman bowling his 42331st over.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

not as easy as it sounds , believe me

should not be a problem on this belter of a track...misbah can handle the middle order

 

[anakwalajinn]

LOL Abdur Rehman starts his 28th over on the trot

 

[Random Aussie]

True although the NZ tail always wags and the top order always fails. On the rare occasion the top order performs the tail fails.

 

[yadunoe]

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

good to see someone agrees with me

 

[sanakazmi]

who's commentating? is the other dude bondy? the one who said he initially thought the decision to bowl first was crazy.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

rehman on and on and on and on...give him a break and bring hafeez on

 

[anakwalajinn]

Guys, what time is it stumps? I can't beleive I have watched the whole day with all you americanos

 

[Sledger]

Annoying partnership.

3 more.

 

[Sledger]

222/7.

NZ's best batsmen come lower down the order

 

[ZAK]

222/7.

 

[Sledger]

New ball taken.

 

[Sledger]

LOL, they haven't taken the new ball yet.

 

[KingKhanWC]

New Nut out of the box. Old nut in the umpires pocket for inspection over dinner tonight.

 

[anakwalajinn]

we takin the new ball?

 

[cricket_fan_1]

should be fun...new ball !!!!

 

[Sledger]

Old ball being kept.

 

[cricfan4ever]

tail wagging just like last year...Kane's drop is proving costly...

FFS get them out!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[anakwalajinn]

why are we always not taking the new ball
nice pace from Wahab

 

[KingKhanWC]

What?

Oh it just reversed.

 

[cricfan967]

why didn't they take the new ball..
old ball's obviously not working
45 run partnership

 

[Sledger]

Excellent pace by Riaz late in the day.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

take the cherry and knock them over :rant

 

[Decipher]

yar put three slips with a gully and bowl some hostile deliveries ...target the rib cage with a deep square leg fielder.... why the heck are we lettin it slip away ???? These are low order capital Ps and we are treating em as if Viv Richard and Brian Lara are on the crease.

 

[Watsupdoc]

why didn't they take the new ball..
old ball's obviously not working
45 run partnership

Misbah took a leap out of Afridi's book

 

[Sledger]

Around the wicket now.

 

[cricfan967]

Wahab with the new ball will be lethal, just take it!

 

[cricfan967]

Wahab's looking much better around the wicket

 

[cricket_fan_1]

take the new ball...take it...TAKE IT !!!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Hope we can pick up one or two more by tonight.

This partnership is starting to make honors even.

I'd bring Gul back.

 

[Sledger]

222/7. Lbw appeal, pitches outside leg.

 

[ZAK]

Maiden by Riaz. 222/7.

 

[cricfan967]

not out, still having trouble understanding the logic behind not taking the new ball.
sure this one will have some reverse swing but new cherry + tail enders = wickets!

 

[Sledger]

TAKE THE NEW BALL!!

Rehman continuing..

 

[cricket_fan_1]

Hope we can pick up one or two more by tonight.

This partnership is starting to make honors even.

I'd bring Gul back.

7 wickets for just 222 and you saying honors even ???

 

[cricfan967]

 

[Decipher]

aik tou gandi bowling uoper se G***u umpire ... he does really look blind in those dark glasses... plumb lb eaten

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Wahab has bowled well. Been unlucky.

 

[Zamee]

what is misbah doing!! :S take the new ball yar =@

 

[cricfan967]

[cricket_fan_1]

plain stupidity...take the new ball and bring your quicks on...

[Sledger]

46 run partnership

 

[Watsupdoc]

I dont get it if they want to exploit reverse swing then replace rehman...

 

[iZeeshan]

7 wickets for just 222 and you saying honors even ???

[Looney]

[anakwalajinn]

It also happened when McCullum was batting

 

[Sledger]

223/7.

 

[ZAK]

223/7.

 

[zeikz123]

) who was that with the long grunt after the appeal

haha ya who was that???... nyway i guess misbah forgot he is the captain and needs to change the bowling from one end this poor guy is going to literally bowl his arm off... close to 30 overs without a break.

 

[Decipher]

New ball will bring flurries of fours with no wickets .... I know Misbah is rightly scared ...

 

[cricket_fan_1]

223/7...inching towards a decent total

 

[iZeeshan]

plain stupidity...take the new ball and bring your quicks on...

how do i post that facepalm gif ??

: facepalm :

-without the spaces

 

[Looney]

[cricfan967]

this is torture , why will he NOT take the new ball!
what's the logic behind this?

 

[anakwalajinn]

I am getting dizzy... lol

Should sleep, but I am supposed to wake up in 3 hours

 

[Sledger]

New ball taken.

 

[cricfan967]

[ZAK]

New ball taken.

 

[iZeeshan]

Finally new ball taken.

[Sledger]

Gul to take the new ball. Should bwl Tanvir at the other end.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

Have you seen our batting recently?

have some faith in the old brigade bro

 

[Sledger]

I thought you're not allowed to do this bowl into the ground warmup anymore?

 

[anakwalajinn]

My prediction: We will not get any more wickets tonight

 

[*sallu*]

Finally Rehman will change

Must be the longest spell in a while

 

[Sledger]

Some good swing there.

 

[Looney]

Gulli back

commies will start crying again about the ball

 

[Watsupdoc]

What were those two overs about? continuing the torture?
