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

[Amjid Javed]

I see the teenage brainspan of some fans have elapsed. If you find it boring go watch some adult channel or something.

 

[*sallu*]

Time for a change, Tanvir has had a long spell

Get Gul in now

 

[Slickman]

tanvir bowling average 21 wow haha

 

[Amjid Javed]

Gul back on now, good move.

 

[Sledger]

Gul replacing Asif II.

 

[Looney]

From Cricinfo:

Sandeep Choubey: "Pakistan has always produced some of the best fast bowlers in world cricket. They have that legacy of producing fast bowlers. In this time where there is a lack of world class fast bowlers (compared to the earlier times where each of the good teams had 1 or 2 fine bowlers) Pakistan keeps on delivering some of the best. At the same time it must be said that they must be taken care by the likes of Wasim and Waqar such that we get to see some good cricket.

 

[*sallu*]

tanvir bowling average 21 wow haha

And we are playing against Windies and Bangladesh this year as well so expect it to stay the same lol

 

[Looney]

my telepathy with worked

 

[AZ]

Misbah's just waiting for the ball to get older so it'll reverse.

then the Kiwis will fall like dominoes.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Cricinfo:

Zaid adds to Khair: "There are 2 really impressive bowlers in pakistan domestic waiting for their chance who according to many experts are better than the current bowlers..Junaid Khan and Aizaz Cheema...Junaid Khan is as good as Aamer...and Aizaz Cheema is the fastest bowler in Pakistan in the presence of AKhtar, Gul and Wahab."

 

[ZAK]

Gul comes back into the attack.

 

[*sallu*]

Misbah's just waiting for the ball to get older so it'll reverse.

then the Kiwis will fall like dominoes.

Its 42 overs old now, should start reversing anytime now if they've looked after the ball well

 

[Sledger]

Ramiz not happy with NZ batting. If only he was out there opening for them!

 

[Free Hit]

And we are playing against Windies and Bangladesh this year as well so expect it to stay the same lol

how true is that ? Junaid Khan =

 

[Sledger]

Legcutter - outside edge but falls short.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Single for Taylor.

 

[Sledger]

Ffs, misfield.

Only one though.

 

[Sledger]

:umarakmal the man fumbling.

 

[emclub]

Adnan Akmal looks like a safe bet

 

[Sledger]

At least get Franklin out..

He sucks.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Almost a run out!

 

[ZAK]

112/4.

 

[Sledger]

112/4..

 

[godzilla]

Isn't this looking a bit like the Pakistan innings in the last test so far? Can't let them settle, hope gul doesn't revert to gul v 2.0

Sorry

 

[*sallu*]

3

Moin, Rashid and Bari?

 

[Inswinger]

Rameez Raja giving away answers to the trivia...

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

of course this attack can't be compared quality-wise to aus of recent times where they had McGrath and Warne- but we are doing the simple things right. Keeping it tight, waiting for mistakes.

 

[ddss]

Salams good crowd

 

[nads_rocks]

Ramiz jus gave away the answer haha

 

[Sledger]

Taylor looks very ugly when playing defensively against spinners.

 

[Zaid23]

thts my comment on cricinfo...bit exaggerated....but really believe its high time these 2( aizaz and junaid) get test caps...

 

[inzy_paratha]

lol ramiz giving away the answer to the quiz question

 

[Inswinger]

We get Taylor and we'll be on top. As long as he is there, the Kiwis have hope. As soon as he's gone, they'll crumble.

 

[*sallu*]

I'm sensing a big shot from Franklin

 

[Gollum]

Ramiz obviously didn't follow Miandad's advice )

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 easy singles given away ffs!

 

[Inswinger]

thts my comment on cricinfo...bit exaggerated....but really believe its high time these 2( aizaz and junaid) get test caps...

Don't think Aizaz is faster than Akhtar...

 

[Sledger]

3 singles so far.

 

[Torpedo]

 

[Toony™®]

Ramiz jus gave away the answer haha

Good one Ramiz...

 

[*sallu*]

not good, too many singles

 

[ddss]

rehman is wearing a different sweater vest?

 

[Sledger]

115/4.

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

we need taylor out

 

[nads_rocks]

How consistent and fast is Aizaz Cheema?

 

[shaheen1shaheen2]

Salams good crowd

wa alaykum salaam

 

[ddss]

115/4

 

[godzilla]

Can I just thank you all for excellently entertaining commentary, I just got to Paris and can't watch the game here, so am following online. This thread has made it infinitely more fun.

 

[Zaid23]

said its a bit exaggerated...but he looked really fast today....certainly as fast as gul and wahab.....

 

[Inswinger]

I'm sensing a big shot from Franklin

To justify the IPL moolah.....

 

[*sallu*]

Franklin looking more assured now, middling his defensive shots nicely

Pitch is looking as flat as last game tbh

 

[ddss]

Dam, anyone else's weather brutal? -27 here feels like -40.

 

[nads_rocks]

Don't think Aizaz is faster than Akhtar...

Akhter can still touch 95-96mph surely Aizaz can't be that fast

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 For Taylor!

Well batted! now get out plz!

 

[ZAK]

50 for Taylor. Well played RT.

 

[Looney]

i would love it if he gets out on a 50 again )

 

[Sledger]

50 to Ross the Boss.

 

[*sallu*]

misfield

 

[*sallu*]

looked for the quick single, not there

 

[Watsupdoc]

Taylor

 

[ddss]

Franklin 7 of 40

 

[Sledger]

Waste of energy, that bouncer.

 

[*sallu*]

ducks under the bouncer

 

[Looney]

Misbah should hold a banner that says " Franklin for T20 "

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kiwis 118/4

 

[*sallu*]

no reverse as of yet

 

[ZAK]

Franklin has played 40 balls for his 7*. Truly Guptill-esque.

 

[AZ]

Jayasuriya run out lol.

 

[Decipher]

so much of a wind blowing and no movement at all from Gul ??? whats going on ?

 

[Sledger]

Yawn. Get this nightwatchman (Franklin) out already.

 

[*sallu*]

That was well bowled

 

[Seen Sheen]

Back again after an hour of forced delay...

Good to see Jess get successive golden ducks but Taylor is still in which is a worry..

 

[ZAK]

118/4.

 

[cricfan4ever]

give Rehman a break...bring on Riaz...have Gul & Riaz attack!

 

[Sledger]

Windy camera now lol.

 

[AZ]

Damien Fleming

great bowler, and an excellent commentator too.

 

[*sallu*]

Single to long on

 

[Sledger]

Ramiz.. just stop talking for 5 seconds.

Seriously, try it.
