New Zealand v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Hamilton | Nov 25-29, 2016 | Day 4

[Shafi]

Is Sami still in the slip???

 

[troodon]

NZ seems to be happy with 1-0 win.

Wattling is terrible. Pak should have been batting by now had wattling scored run a ball 30.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Is Sami still in the slip???

Wouldn't be surprised if he is still there...After all that's normally how we play our cricket isn't it ??

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Watling should be dropped for playing such selfish knock, bring back Ronchi

Why was Ronchi dropped? He was the best batsman in India

 

[Aman]

Poor Amir, he bowled much better than what his figures suggest..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

De Grandhomme reminds me of Chris Cairns, similar built and with the mustache looks as Macho as Cairns

 

[Aman]

Watling should be dropped for playing such selfish knock, bring back Ronchi

Why was Ronchi dropped? He was the best batsman in India

His massive failure in LOI cricket was his undoing..

He should be batting at 5 for us.

 

[Aman]

100 for Taylor.

Now go ham.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Smacking Amir, these are hurtful blows to Pakistan, Kiwis have mentally drained Pakistan here

 

[Belawal2014]

Watch this pitch turn in to a minefield when we bat.

 

[leatherface58]

Brilliant Taylor!

Beej showing some intent as well. Time to raise the tempo guys!

 

[Aman]

Declared.

 

[angrypathan]

Finally a declaration

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

100 for Taylor :AAG:

After a long time, way to go man, that to scoring against Amir, well played :ross

 

[Aman]

Hopefully get 1 or 2 by stumps.

 

[Aman]

368 is chaseable.

Pakistan not out of this.

 

[Abdullah719]

Wouldn't be surprised if he is still there...After all that's normally how we play our cricket isn't it ??

He was at mid-wicket earlier where he dropped a tough chance... off Amir.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Should have scored 400 at least, pitch is probably flat now

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

He was at mid-wicket earlier where he dropped a tough chance... off Amir.

My bad !!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

369 target in 101 overs minimum. Pak should go for it.

 

[leatherface58]

Brave declaration. Dangling the carrot in front of Pakistan but they could chase it down if they bat well enough. The pitch is flat and they just need to play out the new ball and cash in later on.

They chased down 370 in Sri Lanka which was a superb performance so they can do it with YK the 4th innings specialist.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

A brilliant declaration by Kane What a champion he is....


Give's both parties an equal chance to secure a win here, a top bloke and fair sportsman to say the least !!
[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] credit should be given where it's due mate !!

 

[Belawal2014]

Hopefully both batsman can bat out the day if we've got any chance of drawing the TEST match let alone have a shot at winning it.

 

[kingusama92]

This is like chasing 500 for PAK.

Won't happen.

Can they hold for a draw? That's the question.

 

[Ab Fan]

That is brave from Kane but just what I wanted as said two hours ago.

NZ should go for a 2-0 win now and Pak can eye for a victory here which would not only mean a series draw but chasing out 370 will be regarded as some sort of achievement.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

It would be really pathetic if Pakistan again score 50 from 40 overs

R.I.P Test cricket

 

[Aman]

It was a bad declaration, he should have promoted Southee and gotten it to 400 and then declared.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

His massive failure in LOI cricket was his undoing..

He should be batting at 5 for us.

He'll bounce back in the ODI's against Pakistan

 

[Shafi]

We will not score over 150!!!! Our batsmen will be in the shell and score 1.2-1.5/over. Massive loss is coming up.

 

[Belawal2014]

All said and done, NZ are a pretty mediocre team tbh...Pakistan even more mediocre.

 

[Aman]

All said and done, NZ are a pretty mediocre team tbh...Pakistan even more mediocre.

Beat me to it.

 

[Belawal2014]

Chup be, "one mistake"...

 

[Shafi]

We need fresh bunch of players who can hold catches and score 30-50 constantly (Average 35+) instead of score 200-300 in one innings and flop 5 innings and average 40+

 

[badsha001]

want to see sohail batting, please azhar get out

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

If there was any doubt among us whether we would be going for the Chae.........well all that has been put to bed after the 1st over.

Sami beautifully playing out a maiden

 

[troodon]

Had this match been played in UAE, things would have been different.

Difference is Yasir. Without him at his best, Pak simply cannot take 20 wickets. On these wickets, Yasir is not effective. A difficult situation for Pak.

 

[Aman]

We're going to need 10 gifts tomorrow to win this.

 

[Shafi]

After failing last 3 innings our players still have same tuk tuk attitude

 

[Belawal2014]

Nah, just horrible timid batting and bowling filth for the most part.

 

[PakLFC]

As unlikely a victory it may be I say "go for it". May as well lose 2-0 then playing out for a draw. Trouble is in Azhar we have the world's most negative and boring batsman as the crease.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Martin Guptill tweets: "Well played Luteru @RossLTaylor ! Awesome to see you can still see the ball!!

Awesome to see Guptill at his home tweeting, back where he belongs Raval has stolen his spot

 

[Indiafan]

Too late declaration for Ross's century
