New Zealand v Pakistan | 2nd Test | 16/01/11 | Wellington | Day 2 : Session 1

[Fawad2010]

20 minutes to go!

NZ 246/6

Need to finish them off before lunch preferably under 300.

 

[billllal]

depends upon vettori, he can be very stubborn some time

 

[emclub]

Vettori = Annoying

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

i assume we will get them before 300

 

[Atif]

depends upon vettori, he can be very stubborn some time

Am sure Gul can and Wahab can soften him up with some short pitched stuff.

 

[yadunoe]

not unless vettori has something to say about it

 

[lord boldemort]

we have to get them out before 300 and get vettori out first ball

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

We need Vettory or Young's wicket early in the morning..

 

[iHammad]

C'mon we need early wickets

 

[Obeid]

we have to get them out before 300 and get vettori out first ball

What if we get him 2nd ball?

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

we have to get them out before 300 and get vettori out first ball

Yep...

 

[ddss]

NZ all out < 299

If i win you all give me 5 dollars

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

15mins to go...

 

[JibranAnsari]

be prepared for them to bat till at least half of the second session

 

[Theo_14]

Pakistan have taken the new ball I believe...

Either wickets will stumble or runs will leak. Morning session will be vital for both of the sides considering the game is in the balance.

 

[lord boldemort]

What if we get him 2nd ball?

NoPE i want first ball wicket
LOL

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan need to be batting before lunch.

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

C'mon on Gul and Co. I want to see Hafeez and his juicy...

....cover drives !!

 

[Strike!]

Another windy day it seems.

 

[Boi]

Vettori will smash a century. He loves batting against us.

 

[Abdullah22]

What if we get him 2nd ball?

Get ready for threads like "Pakistani bowling overrated"

 

[iHammad]

[ScotRaz]

Ian O'Brien looks like he just woke up and forgot to brush his hair.

 

[iHammad]

[iHammad]

[Looney]

[nads_rocks]

[Atif]

Play about to begin, really windy out in the middle.

 

[iHammad]

Even stronger breeze today

 

[ZAK]

Umar Gul to bowl the first over of the day.

 

[Theo_14]

If you missed any of yesterday's action, check out Nitin's bulletin, Andrew's plays and the press conference, which Pakistan interestingly failed to attend.

Ross Taylor was just on air and was happy with how he batted but naturally disappointed at the timing and mode of his dismissal, but hopes the tail can wag and keep Pakistan in the field on a day where the wind is gusting hard already. Wellington has turned ithe wind right on for the hardy fans who are heading to the ground.

[Deewana Mastana]

[Deewana Mastana]

Attempted bouncer by Gul given as a wide by the umpire

 

[ScotRaz]

[Sledger]

Tanvir will probably share the new ball.

 

[Inswinger]

Umar Akmal on the field already?

 

[Sledger]

Good ball by Gul, play and miss.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good ball to end the over by Gul

Vettori pokes at it but just misses it

[KSaeed]

[ScotRaz]

Ain't it Boom Boom?!

[emclub]

Khurram Manzoor

 

[iHammad]

Nz 248/6

 

[KSaeed]

[Deewana Mastana]

The ball is only 9 overs old and Rehman is going to bowl the 2nd over of the 2nd day!

[Deewana Mastana]

249/6

 

[ZAK]

249/6.

 

[Sledger]

Good tidy over.

 

[WNC]

Wahab has a fever....we're down one bowler.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Umar Akmal is the 12th man they surely had Khurram's name there last night?!

Wahab is off the field with a fever so Umar Akmal is on!

 

[Sledger]

Wahab ill.

 

[emclub]

Oh no...Wahab off the field with a fever

 

[iHammad]

249/6

 

[pakbl10]

Wahab Riaz has a fever!

 

[ZAK]

Wahab is off with field as he has fever.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Commies making fun of Tanvir bowling with the 2nd new ball late last nite!

So make it 2 bowlers short then!

 

[KSaeed]

lol Wahab- what are the chances?

 

[Sledger]

Lol at the ICC caps.

 

[emclub]

thats y wore jacket it that day....he gets fever quickly in winter

 

[Sledger]

Gul bowling with good rhythm atm, just under 140ks.

 

[ScotRaz]

Umpires look like tennis ball boys with those caps lol.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tucker with a baseball cap today making his right hand more proactive as if he'll use it in favour of our bowlers!

 

[JibranAnsari]

no riaz. 375?

 

[Newton_fan]

Wahab is ill- So will we play the whole test match with 10 players ?

 

[FusedBulb]

Unless we take a wicket of two in the first half hour, it's gonna be another long and frustrating day for Pak as NZ is gonna keep grinding while Misbah is gonna keep changing the bowlers on one side and keep Tanvir operating on the other in a hopeless attempt to get a wicket.

Let's hope Misbah has a game plan today. For starters place a fielder on long leg and target the batsman's rib cage with an occasional yorker while the ball has shine and it's hard.

 

[Atif]

Looks like Pakistan will have a long day out in the field..
