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

[*sallu*]

C'mon Franklin, play a friggin shot ffs

 

[ZAK]

121/4.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kiwis 121/4

 

[*sallu*]

very good field setting by Misbah I must say

 

[Sledger]

Down leg, two more.

 

[nads_rocks]

Why on earth is Misbah not using Hafeez to bowl, he can replace Rehman for a while.

 

[emclub]

Saw Cheema for the 2nd time today...1st was Faisal Bank T20 and he looked average....but today in FC match he really impressed me...has a fast indipper inswinging delivery like Imran khan....also quite pacy with a good bouncer up his sleeve

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

sooner rather than later hafeez may need to come on to give rehman a rest.

then best to give wahab a try after gul

 

[Seen Sheen]

oo!He is leaving it..

 

[*sallu*]

I think Hafeez should be tried

Also, no reverse swing is not helping us !!!

 

[Sledger]

Yes, try Hafeez for a few overs instead of Rehman now.

 

[Looney]

vaatta beeeyouti

 

[AZ]

Aravinda absolutely beating the crap out of Warney.

 

[*sallu*]

C'mon gullie, get that reverse going !!!

 

[Sledger]

Cut away for two more.

Bold words from Mashood: "@Zaid : there are more than just Junaid and Aizaz Cheema that many claim are better than the current bowlers.. others on the fringes are Mohammad Rameez, Mohammad Naved, Fahad Masood, Asad Ali, Samiullah Khan, Najaf Shah, Sohail Khan, Sadaf Hussain (FC avg 15!!!!)etc etc etc. These guys would make it into the first choice of almost any team in the world."

 

[*sallu*]

Well fielded, saves 2

 

[Watsupdoc]

avg of 15?!

 

[Seen Sheen]

sooner rather than later hafeez may need to come on to give rehman a rest.

then best to give wahab a try after gul

Also Hafeez is deadly against lefties with his cunning length..

LOL, I don't think hes seen these guys bowl

 

[Sledger]

Actually, Wahab should come on soon. He's more dangerous to left handers because they need to play. Another yorker a la Ryder would do nicely.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Taylor picking up easy runs here.

Over exageration if i ever heard one!

 

[Sledger]

Gul put off by the gust.

 

[ZAK]

to Franklin. issed:

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for Franklin!

128/4

 

[Sledger]

Driven for four.

 

[*sallu*]

:4

 

[*sallu*]

Good partnership now

 

[ZAK]

Gul coming around the wicket.

 

[Sledger]

To experiment with his brand?!


Seriously, *** is this guy on?

 

[*sallu*]

Gul is struggling for rhythm again !!!

 

[nads_rocks]

Does any1 know what ever happened to Stephen Fleming usually when players retire they still somewhat involve themselves in cricket either as a commentator, or in the studio but he is nowhere to be seen. Has he given up on New Zealand altogether or just not interested in anything cricket anymore?

 

[Sledger]

Around the wicket - dot.

 

[*sallu*]

Similar shot, poorly timed

 

[emclub]

Scorer at NZ v Pak Test might as well move Extras above C Martin in the batting order now

 

[ZAK]

128/4.

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

round the wicket. good stuff. just outside he won't be able to rely on the angle to leave it and might just fish at one he doesn't need to play at

 

[Watsupdoc]

Come on get a wicket Pak!

He is the coack of IPL Franchise CSK

 

[Sledger]

Replace Gul with Wahab after this over.

Embarrassing....

 

[*sallu*]

Looking at ease are both of these, someone needs to do something special here

 

[Sledger]

Samiullah would only make it first choice for India.. nobody else. )

 

[Looney]

Aravinda absolutely beating the crap out of Warney.

AZ bhai , you badly need a " chocolati laila "

 

[ZAK]

Lol at the commie calling Rehman, 'raymon'.

 

[shaheen1shaheen2]

4

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for Taylor swept nice and fine.

 

[*sallu*]

SLA to continue, time for Hafeez

 

[oracleg]

Gul is struggling for rhythm again !!!

It's the wind from end he's bowling from. Umpire almost lost his hat there.

 

[*sallu*]

Runs are leaking now, partnership is developing, this is very dangerous times

 

[ZAK]

Who would want to read Ian Smith's book?

 

[nads_rocks]

He is the coack of IPL Franchise CSK

Oh, would be good to have him still involved, he was a brilliant cricketer, they should bring him back whenever New Zealand play he'd be much better than the commentators in this series!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Gup and Taylor were also going with ease untill Tan induced the edge...

So, no need to get uneasy..These kiwis can't focus for a longer period..

 

[*sallu*]

Another single

 

[emclub]

There are reports he's gonna replace Kirsten as an Indian Coach

 

[Sledger]

Need Wahab on now.

 

[*sallu*]

Over, 133-4

 

[ZAK]

133/4.

 

[JibranAnsari]

boring

 

[*sallu*]

Hafeez and Wahab should be brought on in tandem, I'd give Gul 1 more though

 

[Looney]

Feezy should be tried for a few overs he can break partnerships

 

[*sallu*]

beaten, why didn't he edge it :-@

 

[Seen Sheen]

Bold leave by Taylor...

 

[ZAK]

Where is Martin Crowe? The last time we toured NZ he was in the comm box.

 

[Sledger]

Rare good ball in this passage of play.

 

[nads_rocks]

There are reports he's gonna replace Kirsten as an Indian Coach

Dunno if that would be a good move in my opinion, if so then all the best to him, he was probably the only Kiwi Batsman that was good to watch whenever he came on to bat was good captain too

 

[Decipher]

NZ going nicely to recover ,,, Pak has no plan how to take a wicket .... no pressure on the batsman,,,, we are just bowling for the heck of it and waiting for batsman to gift away his wicket

 

[Sledger]

Taylor looking good for a really big one. Not even given any chances today.

 

[emclub]

first where is Fleming...now where is Martin crowe.......where's Cairns........

 

[nads_rocks]

Feezy should be tried for a few overs he can break partnerships

I been saying that for ages, maybe Misbah is unaware Hafeez can bowl too, he gives Younis Khan an over or 2 but is not using Hafeez as a bowler.

 

[nads_rocks]

first where is Fleming...now where is Martin crowe.......where's Cairns........

Oh yes Chris Cairns another good aggressive batsman

 

[ZAK]

134/4.

 

[emclub]

They play together for SGNP....and he doesnt know?

 

[Looney]

even YOSALF has gone quiet

 

[ZAK]

WR comes back into the attack.

 

[Sledger]

If Franklin looks at ease, you know the wicket is flat.

Expecting centuries from the following:

Hafeez, Taufeeq, Azhar, Younis, Misbah, Shafiq, Adnan, Gul.

 

[nads_rocks]

They play together for SGNP....and he doesnt know?

Grandpa's have very poor memory....

 

[Sledger]

Wahab is back, good move.

 

[emclub]

I know everyone's seen it before match is getting boring so watch the Akmals <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3yyswrw7FSs?fs=1&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3yyswrw7FSs?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
