Rameez seriously needs to stop over pronouncing his k's. :raja
 
I think Adnan's given up too, he just sat down after collecting that delivery
 
Technology has not surpassed that far yet hehe, maybe in the year 2020
Actually there was one cricket game I remember, I believe Kitply Cup, that I was listening with head phones. And I only had one headphone in, and couldn't figure out why I could hear players, but not the commentary.

Then I put in the other one, and found the commentary on that earbud. Was very strange lol

I just tried that with my stream, didn't work.
 
Guys, it's a 5 day test match. NZ are on 286, not 486. You really need to learn to have patience and not give up after just one or two bad sessions
 
Rehman losing his patience, better have a cold lassi and think about his gameplan.
 
Remember we always come back strongly after a lunch or tea break so fear not after lunch the last 4 wickets will tumble one after the other :)
 
Might as well get Hafeez on and tighten up the game. NZ will crack if they aren't scoring and then bring back Gul to finish off the rest.
 
we should have taken a lesson from the first test when we got them out cheap on a flat wicket. keep the discipline and dry the runs, we'll get the wickets
 
our approach this morning has been very defensive...trying to bounce out 2 set batsmen on a flat deck...terrible plan...

plan should've been to bowl full with pacers and make them play outside off stump..and for rehman have silly mid on and mid off besides the slips...put pressure on all sides...creative field placings to create doubts in the mind of opposition...

Harper is costing us dearly on this flat deck by not giving Reece Young out yesterday :facepalm:

it's not the first time a bad decision from umpire has cost us massively...think back to AB Devilliers 276 which had 3 plumb decisions turned down!!! 2 of them before 100!!!

This is an even flatter pitch. Wickets will come. We cannot expect them to collapse every time :)
 
biggest disappointment in this test match has been the over hyped wind conditions....hasn't done anything for the bowlers so far..

Yes but the frustrating thing is the plan has been poor. Gul wasted his energy earlier on and Tanvir should have taken the ball first thing.
 
Taliban look has gone but Ramiz's sleazy middle aged man look is still there.
 
and the thing is...even if NZ scores 350-375...the worrying thing is our batsmen score at a snail pace and have no clue how to bat against Vettori...and from the looks of it Vettori is back in form with the bat which automatically means he's gona have an imapct with the ball as well...

just hoping we bat positively...however, it must be said our bowling has been flat since the score was 180/6...

Yes, but if Tanvir had done badly then we would be saying otherwise. Based on yesterdays performance Tanvir was rightly not given the ball. Plus Rehman did not do that bad of a job.

Its only been an hour, lets wait and see what happens.

Tanvir stiffens up like a statue after his first spell. The ball was new in the morning.
