356 isn't a bad total even though it's a flat wicket.

Pakistan batting is always collapsing..
 
Yup like some of us predicted out before 360 unlucky Adnan didnt get the record but in our eyes he did Harper robbed him of that record and Guls 5-fer
 
So Adnan doesn't get his 7 catches and Gul doesn't get a 5-fer.
 
&*&*ing Harper's cost Adnan a much deserved world record.

Good performance though. Nice to finally see a decent keeper behind the stumps.
 
Pakistan need to bat solidly and match this score to stay in game here.
 
NZ scored at a slowish rate. If we can bat for 1.5 days @ 3 runs/over then we're looking at a score of roughly 420.
 
the ball doesn't seem to do much, it's sunny, no real grass or pace for spin or seam.

it's all a patience game
 
So, Harper screwed the pooch four times in 5 sessions. Pakistan got the rough end three times.
 
Adnan Akmal was very very unlucky but he has been great behind the stumps better than both Akmals altogether, in just his 4th match he is on hold for joint record of caught behinds so that itself is a great milestone for him and the team, well done to him.
 
Hopefully, Hafeez and Taufeeq bat with some aggression. We always collapse when we get bogged down.
 
Salam Guys.

A bit late today. And NZ make 356..

And Vettori scores his 3rd ton against us..

Epic :facepalm:
 
Now fasten your seat belt and get ready for more gifts. (harper)
 
just cant wait!!

Go Pats!

I take it as you are a Jets fan?

there is no other choice my good man

but yea its gonna be a great game

great game between the steelers and ravens today...had to keep shifting from the cricket to that
 
just cant wait!!

Go Pats!

I'm rooting for the Pats because I hate the Jets.

Why do I hate the Jets?
I'm a Giants fan that has to hear their arrogant coach, players, and fans go on and on about winning. Never mind the fact they haven't won since 1969. I hate the Pats too but Jets are worse.
 
cricinfo:

Many mails pilloring Daryl Harper, who has got a few wrong but they were not shockers by any stretch. We will be back after a quick innings break.

:)) @ CI
 
The bounce i wicket is something our batsmen will have to adapt to and we willl need to see off the new ball.
 
Hopefully, Hafeez and Taufeeq bat with some aggression. We always collapse when we get bogged down.

lol ... chances of winning a lotto jackpot are higher than Pak not having a thuk thuk thuk start, self imposed pressure and eventually crapping out to a collapse.

Get ready to have your blood boil,,, yet again.
 
These batsmen better take bloody singles instead of the usual block or bash (followed by a collapse) method.
 
No rush here lads. Take your time and fill your boots on this paradise of a batting track.
 
O' Brien used to be some sort of expert when bowling into the wind..

Hopefully, their bowlers would also struggle to cope with the conditions..:31:

lmao

yea we do talk too much but thats from coach ryans personality

i do root for the giants but im a major jets fan
 
Hafeez will not stick to snail pace and Taufeeq will drive a few boundaries if these to can us upto 80-100 without losing wicket it would be brilliant but I don't think we will bat poorly or collapse 400+ is on for Pakistan, 2 centuries also coming up from our top 6 batsman.
 
I think we should actually smash the daylights out of the new ball, so it loses its effectiveness quickly
 
:hafeez needs to make a 100 for once. He gets to 50 and then out.
