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

[Square Drive]

Damn this is so close.

 

[Hasan123]

Lol too close to call.

 

[Buffet]

He should be safe.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Saved by camera

 

[Buffet]

Middle frame is missing here.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

That was very close

 

[Buffet]

Brilliant effort by fielder here. Often this kind of run outs can lift the entire team.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

need to create more opportunities.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I think Azhar should try few overs as well. He might get some turn and wickets.

 

[Aman]

Need these two to bat the next few sessions then hit out and declare for 350+

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Wicket is really flat, Wahab can only try Reverse to see if he can get some wickets. Sohail is not looking fir at the moment.

Pitch is still green..

This is not UAE mate. Max they will give is around 250 here.

 

[godzilla]

please please please get rid of wahab. he has to be one of the worst bowlers to have had as many chances as he has had for pakistan.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

As per Ian Smith , big 100 for Williamson this innings

 

[Aman]

This is not UAE mate. Max they will give is around 250 here.

250 gets us 300... Managed to get 270 when it was a lot more difficult, they would have to bat very poorly to not score 300 now.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

common boys one more

 

[lahoriyah1234]

please please please get rid of wahab. he has to be one of the worst bowlers to have had as many chances as he has had for pakistan.

Well he is the best we have. He can be deadly if the bowl starts reversing. He will get alot of wickets in Australia. But on green pitches someone like hassan ali or even anwar ali would been a better choice, as we cannot select asif atm.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

250 gets us 300... Manage to get 270 when it was a lot more difficult, they would have to bat very poorly to not score 300 now.

For Pakistan 220 is enough to lose the game. Pitch is still green according to Pakistan top order batsmen...

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Really missing Junaid or Rahat Here. Gun Barrel straught from Imran and Wahab

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Azhar please bowl some overs

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Really missing Junaid or Rahat Here. Gun Barrel straught from Imran and Wahab

One of the most disappointing aspect of our bowlers is that they dont have the intelligence or the art to set the batsmen up for wickets. Only Asif had it lately in Pakistan upcoming bowlers after the 2 Ws. Skills is one thing but to become great you have to practice hours after hours. Which nows generation bowlers dont do it.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Good run rate as far NZ concern.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Wasim Akram said that in Sharjah sometime he used to bowl 60 deliveries before the match in hot and humid conditions to test my skills and stamina.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I will buy all of you a cheese burger if wicket fall before 55!

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I will buy all of you a cheese burger if wicket fall before 55!

Well i am sensing wicket now.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Shoail khan wasted new ball today

 

[itsme]

Pitch is still green..

If by green you mean seaming pitch yes it is a seaming pitch.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Well i am sensing wicket now.��

Then you will get a burger!

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I don't understand why bowlers are afraid to bowl wicket to wickets 6 deliveries in a row. What will happen, worse case u will get hit for 4, but it likely that on this green pitches when it hit the good areas it might just found the outside edge. I only saw ASIF bowling like this, why would u bowl short on green trackz

 

[pakistanisgreat]

At-least contain runs.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Lead is 111

These 3 has no patience. Apart from Amir they are clueless.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

From good length to short length only Pakistani bowlers are uneducated on bowling education here. Why would u not bowl full and hit the good areas. WHY

 

[itsme]

Just need one wicket and ideally williamson's and it will get interesting.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

boundary is coming in every over

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Yah ALLAH Madad.

 

[godzilla]

Well he is the best we have. He can be deadly if the bowl starts reversing. He will get alot of wickets in Australia. But on green pitches someone like hassan ali or even anwar ali would been a better choice, as we cannot select asif atm.

no he isnt. hes nowhere close to the best we have. hes not even in the top 30. hes a waste of a position, has no control, produces one excellent spell in a blue moon - and his figures reflect that. theres a reason why australia dont play mitchel johnson, bolwers with no control are not worth playing, no matter how quick they are.

 

[itsme]

Should have played rahat instead of ik

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Am i the only one Missing Misbah Here...His captaincy is amazing in test cricket. He will be missed dearly when he is gone, he is a legend.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Should have played rahat instead of ik

Yaar i will say give another 15 overs and see what happens. If we can bag 2 wickets here before lunch. Who knows what might happened old bowl has brought more wickets.

 

[Saeed]

Looks over now. They will score big unless they throw away their wickets. Wahab, Sohail and Imran Khan are simply not capable of taking wickets.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

no hope now

 

[pakistanisgreat]

2 before lunch impossible, these 3 are not capable of getting quick wickets.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

no hope now

If a wicket fall u will run back here.

 

[Boi]

Our domestic setup really ruined Hammad Azam. Poor guy didn't even get picked for a PSL side this time around.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

easy runs for NZ

 

[pakistanisgreat]

If a wicket fall u will run back here.

I am still here waiting for wicket to fall

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis in a very strong position here.

 

[Boom boom legend]

A win is looking increasingly unlikely at the moment unless we manage to take 3 or 4 quick wickets.

There is no reason why we should not draw this game though and if we avoid defeat then we can use the experience to compete much better against the Aussies.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I think we have to wait after Lunch for the wicket, they should at least contain runs.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

can NZ collapse?

 

[Aman]

Lol I'd be gassed after running in 20 )

 

[Justcrazy]

pakistan do not have bowlers who can force a win . Its very ordinary attack.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

surprisingly Wahab is economical today, which is a good sign.

 

[Justcrazy]

is played to have X factor , but he utterly useless , and also with bat pathetic.

 

[Ankit007]

NZ should bat this session out and better their run rate in second session. In first 10 overs in last session they should play like T20 game... Setup a target of 350 to 400 and win the game....

 

[Justcrazy]

surprisingly Wahab is economical today, which is a good sign.

He is played to get wickets , there are other line and length bowlers who can bat as well.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

need at least one before lunch

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Ok folks wicket is on the way before lunch. Mark my words.

 

[Abdullah719]

Hearing Waqar and Bond talking about fast-bowling and then seeing Sohail and IK trundle in and bowl at 128kph.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

NZ playing for a draw and why not. The pitch has flattened put with the heavy roller been used a few times.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Unless NZ bat quicker in the next 2 sessions and put Pakistan in chasing 330-350 in 90-100 overs and could possibly win it too.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

10 mins to lunch

 

[Speedster777]

Sohail Khan is useless in second innings

 

[Justcrazy]

latham was too good not to score big once at least in this series.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Nothing much in it for the pacers now. Azhar should bowl himself just to see if there is something for the spinners.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Pakistan going through the motions here. NZ will probably to look to bat another 75 overs here giving Pakistan an unchaseable total and their bowlers 80 overs to win it.

 

[Boom boom legend]

Another drop of Amir. To be fair to Sami it was very difficult. Still though, when you need a wicket as much as we do now, you need to take any chance you can get.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

score is 140

 

[pakistanisgreat]

man he dropped 3 catches

 

[Abdullah719]

Sohail's run-up is as long as Shoaib Akhtar's according to these measurements...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan would be happy if it rains during lunch.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan bowling also is as bad as batting . No stand out bowlers, who can bowl good solid spells any more.

 

[Aman]

Another drop of Amir. To be fair to Sami it was very difficult. Still though, when you need a wicket as much as we do now, you need to take any chance you can get.

Is this going in the thread too?

 

[Aman]

Looks like we'll have some interruptions today.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Pakistan bowling also is as bad as batting . No stand out bowlers, who can bowl good solid spells any more.

These kind of tracks do not suit us. We rely too much on Yasir and Wahab's bursts in test match cricket. Gone are the days we used to have genuine seam/swing bowlers.

 

[Justcrazy]

latham

 

[On_the_up]

These bowlers aren't capable.

It's over

The batsmen haven't had it either, in these 2 matches.

 

[Justcrazy]

more.
