New Zealand v Pakistan | 1st Test | Christchurch | Nov 17-21, 2016 | Day 4

[Slog]

he is better than Sohail. Just wait and see.

rahat came for sohail?

why not yasir.. he can survive a bit and score some runs

rahat is certified walking wicket

 

[MRSN]

Can't think of anything off the top of my head. But conditions are great for batting, I'll be shocked if a decent team isn't able to score 200+ on it.

exactly. This pitch doesn't look that bad at this stage. If it wasn't for Sohail Khan's mistake things were looking hard for NZ bowlers.

 

[Slog]

Don't think it will.

it will give us chance to make a match of it atleast

 

[Aman]

If Pakistan had batted more sensibly yesterday, they could have set NZ 300+ which would have been a difficult chase for a team low on confidence.

 

[MRSN]

ive turned it off

and has been hit..

 

[Hasan123]

Good shot Sachin junior

 

[Zeshan547]

Aur ye suddenly pitch ko kaya hoga, now asad should take the charge or atleast try to do so because we only have six overs and then it will be curtains so make the hey when the sun is shining, because it's not gonna last long, that's more like it asad, man up for once please.

loose shots and batting at snail's pace is to be blamed.

Pitch has been good to bat on since the sun came out yesterday.

Pakistan were just horrible with the bat and playing like the ball was going all over the place.

 

[Saeed]

Asad will edge to the keeper.

 

[shahidafridi123]

What is Asad doing?

 

[angrypathan]

5 overs before the new ball, need to make the most of them

 

[Saeed]

Now Yasir has to face a whole over.

 

[Aman]

loose shots and batting at snail's pace is to be blamed.

If we do go on to win this, it would have been a very soft win against a underdone team. I'm expecting Pakistan to win the next match, I can't see them gifting their wickets again. Our bowlers are terrible when the ball isn't doing anything and rely on batsmen losing patience and gifting their wickets.

 

[MRSN]

Yasir Shah is looking good.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Shafiq needs to step it up and attack like Sohail did. Come on grow some balls

I see you've been learning Urdu. Lol

Aman bhai please don't jynx

 

[aloo paratha]

...gone..

 

[Aman]

I see you've been learning Urdu. Lol

?

 

[Hasan123]

Hmm julo kaar

 

[Saeed]

These goes Asad. Time for tailenders to hit few boundaries.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Are you serious it can be all over in moments, they only need two more wickets. Would be one hell of an achievement if we manage to get 150

That's true but you can technically crawl to that target. Just got to hang in there but it's unlikely.

 

[MRSN]

cannot believe he hit straight to that lone fielder. Pakistan has gifted this match.

 

[Hamza_]

Never pin your hopes to Asad Shafiq.

 

[mz123]

rahat ali is in

 

[Aman]

Aman bhai please don't jynx

Not jinxing, I really think we suck.

I don't know how Indian fans feel satisfied with wins on favorable pitches which are heavily toss dependent.

Hollow victories.

 

[shaz619]

Hmm julo kaar

We need 1 more run, 100 on the board and we're in it! psychological barrier and all

 

[Nasty Naz]

Just nonsense batting from Pakistan.

None of you can play the short ball whatsoever but they keep trying to do it...

 

[shaz619]

Congrats guys [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] [MENTION=95766]leatherface58[/MENTION] winning a Test v Pak in your own home must be like winning the World Cup if not better

 

[angrypathan]

Time for a Rahat special

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Match over.

 

[MRSN]

Our bowlers are terrible when the ball isn't doing anything and rely on batsmen losing patience and gifting their wickets.

yeah there is hope our batsmen will be much more positive in the next game and give bowlers something to defend.

 

[MRSN]

Congrats guys [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] [MENTION=95766]leatherface58[/MENTION] winning a Test v Pak in your own home must be like winning the World Cup if not better

so ja bhai..)

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Rahat's attitude.

Hahahahahahahaha.

 

[volcyz]

Pathetic running from Rahat

 

[ExplicitAI]

We imploded really badly here, 200 is impossible now

 

[angrypathan]

100 lead up

 

[waleed88]

Pathetic from Rahat lool

 

[MRSN]

We need 1 more run, 100 on the board and we're in it! psychological barrier and all

) it's not 101 it's 201 psychological advantage..

 

[Aman]

Congrats guys [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] [MENTION=95766]leatherface58[/MENTION] winning a Test v Pak in your own home must be like winning the World Cup if not better

AB's beating Ireland to go 30-1 in the last 111 years will get far more coverage than this match.

 

[aloo paratha]

kya defense hai

 

[Saeed]

God, rahat is such a tailender, even chris marttin was better than him.

 

[waleed88]

That shot is the reason why Asad Shafiq will never be an ODI batsman

 

[Hamza_]

I think we should drop Yasir in next game

 

[Junaids]

Asad Shafiq did the right thing, three or four boundaries and the lead would be 130.

He was just unlucky to hit the fielder.

The damage was done much earlier when YK, Misbah and Sarfraz at 4, 5 and 7 scored 16 runs between them.

 

[mz123]

watta leave !!!

 

[volcyz]

Rahat looks like he will get out every ball

 

[Junaids]

) it's not 101 it's 201 psychological advantage..

A lead of 110 is probably impossible!

 

[ExplicitAI]

Is it me or does the ball only talk when NZ have it? I don't see us moving it at all.

 

[Slog]

hope these guys can hang around for 10 overs

 

[Junaids]

Is it me or does the ball only talk when NZ have it? I don't see us moving it at all.

It is just you. Pakistan dismissed NZ for just 200!

 

[Slog]

We imploded really badly here, 200 is impossible now

its funny you considered it a possibility at any point today

 

[waleed88]

hope these guys can hang around for 10 overs

Why though?

 

[MRSN]

chakke maro yar

ab tu fielder andar bula lo williampson..

 

[Waqarkhan]

Mustache factor coming into play
Unbelievable

 

[MRSN]

A lead of 110 is probably impossible!

I don't think NZ got any wickets today. Pure mistakes from our batsmen. So I'm not sure even 200 is defendable the way pitch is behaving...or is it the NZ pacers are tired?

 

[Saeed]

Is it going to rain?

 

[shaz619]

) it's not 101 it's 201 psychological advantage..

Oh, chalooh we'll take 110

 

[Junaids]

I know it's Day 4, but this is now behaving like a typical Kiwi Day 3 batsman's paradise.

Presumably because Day 1 was rained off.

This could be a ten wicket defeat.

 

[Waqarkhan]

It's was torture watching how pakistanis batted Apart from babar azam's 29

 

[Junaids]

I don't think NZ got any wickets today. Pure mistakes from our batsmen. So I'm not sure even 200 is defendable the way pitch is behaving...or is it the NZ pacers are tired?

The pitch was already flat yesterday, but the sun has come out, so there is no swing.

 

[Junaids]

It's was torture watching how pakistanis batted Apart from babar azam's 29

Yeah, Wagner gave him a lot of bouncers, but I thought Babar Azam in the second innings played the best Pakistan innings of the match.

 

[Aman]

Rahat

 

[Belawal2014]

Well defended Rahat

 

[aloo paratha]

Lol Rahat

 

[RehanG]

we did very well just 200 runs short

 

[angrypathan]

Rahat

 

[MRSN]

Rahat

to take 5fer in the 2nd innings.

 

[ExplicitAI]

that's it

 

[Hasan123]

We need 1 more run, 100 on the board and we're in it! psychological barrier and all

Thought sohail and asad would last longer that's why I said that

 

[Aman]

Hopefully the batsmen are clinical, we shouldn't lose more than a wicket but I'm expecting 4 or more..

 

[ExplicitAI]

its funny you considered it a possibility at any point today

Technically it was given which batsmen were at the crease but we gifted too many wickets.

 

[shaz619]

Hopefully the batsmen are clinical, shouldn't lose more than a wicket, but I'm expecting 4 or more..

The sun is out, what's with this jobber mentality

 

[Aman]

The sun is out, what's with this jobber mentality

We are jobbers.

 

[Waqarkhan]

Poor stuff it looked like NZ were throwing gernades at them

 

[Rayyman]

I hope Pakistan win.

 

[Barragan]

Yasir is so silly for trusting an ultimate tailender like rahat.

The guy is awful and worse than Chris Martin.

Also, again Mr. "I played for 6 years, but can't bat at the top" failed.

A rookie in his 2nd match has scored more than him and that too at no. 3.

 

[shaz619]

We are jobbers.

lmao true that )

You wouldn't think this is the same team which B-Mac lead only recently

 

[Belawal2014]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION], what's up with the pessimism, don't remember you like this
