New Zealand v Pakistan | 1st Test | Christchurch | Nov 17-21, 2016 | Day 3

[London_Lahori]

Sohail you beauty!

Thank god Rahat caught it.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hes bowled so well

 

[Ellipsism]

Rahat takes a catch

 

[Inswing]

haaayn ya kya shot tha bhai???

 

[Hasan123]

De grondhomme was starting to get annoying. Yasir can clean up the tail inshallah

 

[Shawaiz]

Finally!!

 

[badsha001]

rahat would have got a good beating if he'd dropped that

 

[hur rizvi]

Need to be disciplined here. NZ have a very decent lower order

 

[aloo paratha]

Lol I was scared as he was going for the catch...

 

[hur rizvi]

De grondhomme was starting to get annoying. Yasir can clean up the tail inshallah

Astle is an AR. No tail yet

 

[shaz619]

Sohail you beauty!

Thank god Rahat caught it.

I was on the verge of a heart attack while that ball was in the air and Rahat was under it, my whole life flashed past me and I began to see glimpses of a white light

 

[Buffet]

Now Pakistan should easily dismiss NZ below 200. Only 4 wickets to go and pitch is very friendly for bowlers.

 

[speed]

How tall is sohail?

 

[shaz619]

Lol I was scared as he was going for the catch...

Shades of the 2015 WC

 

[KingKhanWC]

Just come to say JOG ON de Grandhomme,!!

now back to normality : )

 

[Rayyman]

How tall is sohail?

6'4

 

[aloo paratha]

Shades of the 2015 WC

Oh yaar, don't remind me

 

[hur rizvi]

Rahat continues

 

[Hasan123]

Shades of the 2015 WC

Tbf it didn't feel like he would drop this one.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That wicket reminded me of a certain drop

 

[Rayyman]

Astle just made 196 in domestic cricket.

 

[shaaik]

Thanks for the jinx it worked .

He's got bucket like hands. I still wonder how did he manage to drop that Watson catch in Sydney.

 

[London_Lahori]

I was on the verge of a heart attack while that ball was in the air and Rahat was under it, my whole life flashed past me and I began to see glimpses of a white light

Haha we all were, my dad turned and said I bet everyone thought he was going to drop it.

Never trust Rahat!

Now Rahat gets a wicket! Lol

 

[Boi]

Rahaaattt

 

[mz123]

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Brilliant from Rahat

 

[Rayyman]

Astle just made 196 in domestic cricket.

Jaffa from gets him.

 

[hur rizvi]

At last

 

[London_Lahori]

Come on, clean them up now!

 

[aloo paratha]

At least he makes up for his trash now.

 

[Inswing]

Finally SIR did something

 

[NauV]

You have to give it to Misbah there! the 4th slip came right before this ball . . . Well done!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to wrap up this quick here

 

[shaaik]

Tbf it didn't feel like he would drop this one.

I had my heart in my mouth when I saw Rahat under it.

 

[hur rizvi]

Southee will score quick runs if he stays

 

[Hasan123]

He's got bucket like hands. I still wonder how did he manage to drop that Watson catch in Sydney.

Pressure got to him I think

 

[Uzair Gooner]

Rahat on Fire lol

 

[world cup captain]

There we go, let's clear 'em out!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

The Dangerman is here

 

[Hawkeye]

Haha.

Could never imagine NZ would fold like this! What's going on, [MENTION=131138]Space Cat[/MENTION] ?

 

[Nasty Naz]

Yes Rahat! Great over by him, he finally found the right length and line.

If they can get the remaining 3 wickets with 175 or under, I'd say Pakistan is in a good position then.

 

[Hasan123]

Beaut of a ball from Rahat

 

[Rayyman]

Southee will score quick runs if he stays

Lead of 50+ will be bad for us.

 

[Justcrazy]

lead is 13 runs , come get last three quickly here.

 

[Buffet]

Pakistan can keep lead below 30-35 here and then put some runs.

 

[TalhaSyed]

How many overs will Sohail bowl?

 

[Boi]

Good fitness shown by Sohail.

 

[Justcrazy]

Yes Rahat! Great over by him, he finally found the right length and line.

If they can get the remaining 3 wickets with 175 or under, I'd say Pakistan is in a good position then.

Pakistan has to bat well in the second innings , otherwise it will be tough. Top order has to respond

 

[shaz619]

Haha we all were, my dad turned and said I bet everyone thought he was going to drop it.

Never trust Rahat!

Now Rahat gets a wicket! Lol

Believe it or not, Rahat out of everyone is most surprised You know how Larry Merchant once said that the only person we know of who can beat Tyson is Tyson but if he takes care of business nothing can stop him. Similarly, Rahat is most confused by Rahat, but if Rahat takes of business nothing can stop his confusion.

 

[Justcrazy]

Watling is a tough nut to crack .

 

[shaz619]

How many overs will Sohail bowl?

How many ever he feels like Big fella warming up for the big dawgs in AUS

 

[speed]

get them under 170

 

[NauV]

This pitch is fine! Yes, it is not a batting paradise . . but it seems like a good test wicket . . where a good batsman should be able to score and a good bowler should be able to get somehthing out of it . . But by no means is it a 133 all out and 150/7 wicket . . especially after the first 2 sessions

 

[hur rizvi]

Oh waqar he is not shying away, he plays like this

 

[Buffet]

Both sides lacked the application.

 

[Justcrazy]

Need Yasir shah to bowl a spell here and get the wickets

 

[hur rizvi]

Sohail might need rest now

Double chg plz

Rahat off for amir

Sohail off for yasir

 

[PakLFC]

Need to keep the New Zealanders down to under 200 then score at least 300 in our second innings. Batting last will be hard, I'll be confident defending around 230 to win the match.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis likely to get handy lead here , there tail is pretty good. This is the reason why Pakistan will suffer , there tail is just pathetic.

 

[NauV]

I completely disagree with Sohail bowling for so long . . He has to bowl for 4 more test matches in the next 6 weeks . . this is just ridiculous . . 22nd over out of 52

 

[shaaik]

Sohail shd hv southee in this over..

 

[hur rizvi]

Lead growing quickly

 

[hur rizvi]

What an over for NZ

Sohail is tired

 

[Inswing]

WTH yaaaaaaaaaar

 

[NauV]

Rubbish! Corridor has worked!! This stubborness when you don't have a lot to play with . .

 

[Justcrazy]

Sohail leaking easy runs , this will hurt pakistan

 

[Watsupdoc]

What rubbish is this guy bowling?

 

[Justcrazy]

lead 34 runs now. Its swelling fast

 

[Shawaiz]

Bring back Amir. Sohail is tired!

 

[On_the_up]

Has ICC banned the yorker?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan missing a seam bowling all rounder here.

 

[hur rizvi]

To many boundaries

 

[hur rizvi]

Need yasir from one end

Sothee wont like playing yasir

 

[On_the_up]

Pak will do well to bowl NZ out for under 200

 

[London_Lahori]

Yes Rahat gets big wicket of Watling!

 

[WebGuru]

Commies Jinx

 

[hur rizvi]

Good delivery

 

[Rayyman]

Another jaffa from Rahat.

 

[mz123]

[Uzair Gooner]

Need yasir from one end

Sothee wont like playing yasir
