New Zealand v Pakistan | 2nd Test | 15/01/11 | Wellington | Day 1 : Session 1

[Atif]

As usual, we bat till #11

That's not usual with Pakistan lol

 

[cricfan967]

He's a good package

 

[Looney]

good to see Misbah's decision to stick with his winning team

 

[Inswinger]

The pitch is a grassy one! Pace and bounce from one end.

 

[Amjid Javed]

wow same team

We won last game, why we would we change a winning side?

 

[Inswinger]

We should aim to get them out for around 200.

 

[cricket_fever]

wow.... we have 11 batsman in our team

our tail has been wagging great these days mashallah (nazar na lagay)

 

[srh]

Misbah got his wish! He would have bowled anyways.

good. strange decision by Vettori to bat first.

 

[Inswinger]

We won last game, why we would we change a winning side?

'Tis Pakistan we speak of.

 

[Mian Hassan]

there batsman are under pressure we should go for the kill

 

[cricket_fever]

Harper and Tucker umpiring eh ...

 

[anakwalajinn]

And it sucks that I never really get to join you guys in the commentary threads for Pak matches, whenever a Pak match is on I always manage to find a really high-quality stream and connect my laptop outside to the huge TV in the living room, sit on the sofa, and watch it there, so yeah. I look through the threads sometimes and they usually sound like quite fun though.. (only if Pak is doing well)

Salaam bro use 2 iscreenz tv for match & pc for pakpassioning thats what I do match threads are hillarious. Especially the short games& when Afridi is batting. Its like 40 people writing at the same time then getting pissed when he iskies it and gets out

 

[Mian Hassan]

i would not have mind Sohail Tanvir on this wicket instead of Tanvir Ahmed just a rotation

 

[IAJ]

From cricinfo:

Simon Doull doing the pitch report says that there is a lot of grass, but he thinks it is mostly dead and says that the home side have made the right decision, but that they must put in a considerably better batting effort to justify their choice.

When did he say that? I clearly heard he said it's a bowl first wicket!

 

[cricket_fever]

good to see Misbah's decision to stick with his winning team

wesay, Mr MBA kay decision buray nahy hotay zyada tar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Simon Doull and his predictions! lol

 

[Inswinger]

Ryder averaging under 50 now.

 

[anakwalajinn]

That's not usual with Pakistan lol

Usually we only have batting on nr 3,4 & almost 5

Definitely! I heard him clearly say it's a bowl first wicket!

 

[Mian Hassan]

Simon Doull and his predictions! lol

simon is the last guy somebody should ask for advise on cricket

 

[Amjid Javed]

We should aim to get them out for around 200.

150-70 would be better! 200 on the wickets we can see would be quite alot!

 

[Ryankhan]

Nyce to see Pak won the toss and chose to bowl first. good opening spell would do it and Pak would be right on the top if got early wkts

 

[Looney]

wesay, Mr MBA kay decision buray nahy hotay zyada tar

And he also happens to be a Niazi and ul haq

 

[Atif]

Dead grass, not sure how much that will assist the bowlers, but better than no grass i suppose...

 

[RehanG]

Nyce to see Pak won the toss and chose to bowl first. good opening spell would do it and Pak would be right on the top if got early wkts

NZ won the TOSS and chose to BAT first

 

[cricket_fever]

NZ will be out under170-200.

 

[pakbl10]

He was very tired after being the water-boy in the first test, wanted to rest!

That's what they think New Zealand should score, not what they will or are expected to score. When you win the toss and bat you want 400+.
