New Zealand v Pakistan | 1st Test | Christchurch | Nov 17-21, 2016 | Day 2

[Aman]

Colin has 3 lmao )

 

[srh]

khail khutum

 

[castortroy]

Lol this guy will get 6-7 wicket

What a shocking shot

 

[Arham_PakFan]

What the actual hell?Lose shot by Younis.Collapse is on.

 

[Hamza_]

Oh my God.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

De Grandhomme to get 5-fer guarantee.

This guy is gonna be Chris Woakes for us

Even Younis is flashing at nothing balls

 

[srh]

Whose bright idea was it to send Babar at 3?

have to hide the golden boy Asad

 

[Speedster1]

My days what is going on

 

[Aman]

Keep Colin bowling

 

[badsha001]

2 more for grandhome...

 

[Jabo]

Well done YK, don't worry, you'll score in the 3rd match of the series.

Wont be surprised if we get bowled out today for 150.
Let's see what Shafiq does at 6, like he was some ATG there and wasn't failing at 6.

 

[Speedster1]

Positive side Pak defo will be bowling by today lol get to see what our bowlers do on this surface

 

[Justcrazy]

YK Gone

 

[MMHS]

What would be a par score on this pitch? I'd reckon 250 odd would put pressure on NZ.

Depending on how PAK catches. My hunch is, if the sun shines, this wicket will get a bit faster & harder on Day 2 & the freshness still will be there. This is not UAE style cut grass rolled on the track, these are live grass.

If catches are taken, I don't see Kiwis scoring more than 200 here to be honest. Old Asif wold have been magical here.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Who's bright idea was it to send YK at 4?

 

[Hamza_]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] The naughty guy is enjoying the show. Lol

 

[Justcrazy]

De Grandhomme to get 5-fer guarantee.

This guy is gonna be Chris Woakes for us

Even Younis is flashing at nothing balls

You are right , its just pathetic

 

[Aman]

These two won't give it away so easily.

200+ still on IMO.

 

[Syed1]

Haan bhai kya haal hain

 

[IcedCoffee]

Yup... we really could've used that match practice. Now people are gonna jump all over the batsmen's techniques after they've been playing for months on the dead UAE wickets.

 

[Abdullah]

Need to muster a score here

 

[castortroy]

Pak was inevitably going to lose this match after the toss

 

[Syed1]

Superior technique

 

[Markhor]

Solid start thrown away. Got to somehow get to 250 from here.

 

[Speedster1]

Were making this newbie look a million dollars as we always do

 

[Nasty Naz]

What a poor display from these batters. Making this 125km medium pacer look like a world class bowler.

 

[wasimjunior]

Criminal from yk

 

[castortroy]

Baber and YK shot in particular were abysmal

 

[Justcrazy]

All wickets were rash shots except Azhar

 

[Belawal2014]

Haan bhai kya haal hain

lol these smileys are so good.

 

[jattafridi]

lose shots from pakistani batsman

 

[Syed1]

Baber and YK shot in particular were abysmal

All Babar's runs were streaky edges

 

[castortroy]

We have always struggled against dobblers bowling at 125km

 

[Justcrazy]

If remaining Pakistan Batsmen do not bat well , they may loose the test also. Need to be careful here

 

[NZ Fan]

lol, De Granhomme only has 51 wickets in 45 first class matches.

The Pakistani batsmen are making him look considerably better than that.

I'm at the ground, going to be a wonderful sunny day here.

 

[Barragan]

Oh look, here comes the guy who is playing his 2nd Test match and that too in alien conditions - oh wait.......

Pathetic that shafiq after 6 years is hiding down at no. 6 and Babar is being thrown up to no. 3, especially in these conditions.

 

[MMHS]

With Kookabura, target should be 4 wickets in fisrt 23-25 overs, therefore Kiwis are actually on target here. They don't have spinners, therefore new ball has to do the damage.

 

[Speedster1]

200 would be good from this position, however if another wkt falls before lunch even 200 will be a big ask

 

[London_Lahori]

Not a surprise tbf, our first day playing any sort of cricket on this tour and we get put in on this pitch.

Was always on the cards.

 

[On_the_up]

Southee 8-6-6-1

 

[On_the_up]

Not a surprise tbf, our first day playing any sort of cricket on this tour and we get put in on this pitch.

Was always on the cards.

Harder to take after the start by the openers.

 

[Syed1]

Yuni bhai to come good in the second innings............





of the second test. That'll shut up you haters.

 

[srh]

again a bad shot this time from Misbah

 

[Jabo]

Not a surprise tbf, our first day playing any sort of cricket on this tour and we get put in on this pitch.

Was always on the cards.

playing dumb shots and we will blame the pitch.
excellent...

 

[srh]

Asad better score a 50 or he will get lot of abuse

 

[Mamoon]

Told you Younis should have been sent at 7 in these conditions.

 

[Hamza_]

Immaculate stuff by us. Hahahahahahahahaa.
Can't stop laughing.
Only we can do this.

 

[Syed1]

Even when we were 50/1 I was really anxious because a collapse is never far away in these conditions and with our batting, and that is exactly what happened.

 

[Mamoon]

Younis is a mediocre batsman. Not interested in stats, not at all.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

playing dumb shots and we will blame the pitch.
excellent...

Don't judge the pitch until both teams have batted on it.

 

[Hamza_]

Told you Younis should have been sent at 7 in these conditions.

Bright idea it was.

 

[Syed1]

Whattay techniquee

 

[Syed1]

Sarf wont last long in these conditions.. in dono pe hi hai bus

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Misbah special coming up

 

[161]

It's always the accurate trundlers that get us.

First over he bowled I could tell this Colin guy was gonna wreck us.

 

[Hamza_]

Sarf wont last long in these conditions.. in dono pe hi hai bus

Maybe it's good that he is not that technical and has his own way of playing. So he may last

 

[speed]

at least we will have a result.

 

[waleed88]

Lovely analysis from Scott Styris, he's slowing becoming my favorite commentator

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Wagner bhai please bowl at 125k throughout the day

 

[Syed1]

Beat pe beat horahay hain bhai... What is the rain prediction?

 

[IcedCoffee]

Toss is a big factor on these tracks too. You'd want the pitch to get easier so that the batsmen can score some runs, but you'd also want the pakistani bowlers to extract something out of it like their NZ counterparts have.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Big partnership coming up inshaAllah.

 

[Justcrazy]

wagner on 99 wickets

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Sarf wont last long in these conditions.. in dono pe hi hai bus

Doubt that. He's been improving and can negate swing sometimes with his movements on the crease.

Agar spinner aaya phir to buss masterclass hogi

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Sarfraz ton coming today, can feel it

 

[waleed88]

Southee is bowling wide of the crease so he brings it back in to Misbah, he's prime lbw candidate in these deliveries.. smart bowling from him

 

[waleed88]

Shafiq is gonna be pad first very soon if he keeps batting to Wagner like this

 

[waleed88]

What was the context of the comparison, I missed it due to a phone call. Watching on mute.

Headlee's stats similar to YK against all countries

 

[Justcrazy]

waiting for spin to come

 

[Khan12]

What was the context of the comparison, I missed it due to a phone call. Watching on mute.

He way saying that younis batting average should be equlivanet to Headlee bowling average. He also saying how lucky he is to be playing in this era. He was also saying that how medicore he is since he hasn't scored any runs in Africa and America they are essentially one of the biggest continets in the world. To be fair to him he does have a solid point.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Shafiq is gonna be pad first very soon if he keeps batting to Wagner like this

Shafiq's problem is to righties coming over the wicket angling or bringing the ball back in because his head falls outside the line gauging for the ball. He's in perfect position to play the ball coming back against lefties over the wicket.

Thank you. He's right.

Younis is an average batsman. If he's an ATG then he's the worst ATG of all time.

 

[pakistan cricket fan]

ok now serieus those 2 need to stay till lunch

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Misbah bhai ko lunch se pehle Todd Astle ka deedar tou kara do

 

[Square Drive]

Shafiq special coming up.

 

[Syed1]

I hope we get a spell of unrelenting rain rby

 

[Aman]

Pakistan still well and truly in this game.

We're not going to do much better with the bat..

 

[waleed88]

Pakistan still well and truly in this game.

We're not going to do much better with the bat..

1 more wicket for NZ

 

[Justcrazy]

If Matt Henry had played instead of spinner , Pakistan would have been all put for 150 here

 

[waleed88]

Shafiq special coming up.

Shafiq in a similar situation to when he made that 100 against SA in SA
