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

[Sin Nombre]

Waqar keeps defending all of Pakistan's poor fielding. Can't blame him. Exceptional attempt. Could not stop it.

 

[Aman]

120 runs in the next session then hit out for ~20 overs in the last session and declare with close to 400.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Massacre incoming

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Lets see what happened after lunch

 

[Boom boom legend]

Is this going in the thread too?

A drop is a drop. These are the sort of moments that can change a game on its head.

 

[On_the_up]

Best Pak can hope for is an honourable draw by grinding it out tomorrow.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Is this going in the thread too?

Hypothetical average is under 15 now.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

even amir tired now

 

[Justcrazy]

for latham

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Best Pak can hope for is an honourable draw by grinding it out tomorrow.

Nothing honourable about us. Shameful stuff.

 

[itsme]

A drop is a drop. These are the sort of moments that can change a game on its head.

This isn't a drop this was a difficult chance and impossible by pak standard but yes you need something special to lift the team's spirit from there.

 

[Sin Nombre]

45 runs in the last 10 overs. NZ may get to the 400 run lead before close today if they can keep scoring these easy boundaries.

 

[itsme]

Need to get them around 250

 

[Sarfarazian92]

This session killed all the hopes I had for a win smh

 

[QalandarFan]

Wow terrible bowling only 1 wickets in the session.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I'm getting really suspicious of those dropped catches off Aamir. I'd be even more livid than Aamir if I were him.

 

[Shafi]

Is this going in the thread too?

No should be a praise thread of Sami to give too much hard work but he was unlucky to take all of them. Future Jonty

 

[Syed1]

Azhar Ali's captaincy and bowlers incompetence on exhibition in all its glory.

 

[Shafi]

Match is over!! Thanks to our fielders

 

[pakistanisgreat]

game is gone now

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan will be white washed in Australia , you cannot change the attitude in such short span of time.

 

[Aman]

Match is over!! Thanks to our fielders

Always an excuse

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Batting to blame for the loss

 

[angrypathan]

Four

 

[angrypathan]

Imran Khan is absolutely trundling here, hasn't hit 130 in 2 overs, lack of fitness

 

[Justcrazy]

161 runs lead.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I think NZ will play for draw.

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsmen looking confident now.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I think Decline of number 2 started. First loss a test to WI in your home ground now series loss here.

 

[angrypathan]

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I think Azhar should bowl few overs.

 

[Buffet]

2 more wickets here will make the match even.

 

[Aman]

Kane really looks horrible thes days.

Where have those KW fans gone who said I was wrong to call him overrated

 

[Justcrazy]

two down , Pakistan need more wickets .

 

[Buffet]

Kane really looks horrible thes days.

Where have those KW fans gone who said I was wrong to call him overrated

He got a very good ball here.

 

[Justcrazy]

One wicket is not enough , Pakistan need to lift themselves up , this is the crucial point in the game.

 

[Abdullah719]

Hearing the NZ commentators, they really don't rate their middle order at all.

A couple of quick wickets here will set the cat amongst the pigeons.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

need to get 3 more in 10 overs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar will have to bowl a few overs here , looks like we are going to be bowling 120 overs.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

i think azhar should bowl few as well to see if the ball turns?

 

[Aman]

Hearing the NZ commentators, they really don't rate their middle order at all.

Because they know this side is mediocre, they've lost 5 of their last 6. It would have been 6 in 6 but rain saved us.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

One wicket is not enough , Pakistan need to lift themselves up , this is the crucial point in the game.

Trust Azhar (The Kaptaan) to do the exact opposite in this situation.....Wouldn't be surprised one bit if he increases the boundary riders all of a sudden !!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Kane really looks horrible thes days.

Where have those KW fans gone who said I was wrong to call him overrated

A little out of touch , fantastic batsman.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

comon boys

 

[JibranAnsari]

Count out the india ones , you cant really compete there. Otherwise they havent been that bad.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

at least taylor needs to go quickly

 

[Aman]

A little out of touch , fantastic batsman.

Out of touch or exposed in testing conditions/against good bowlers?

 

[QalandarFan]

Whoa just clocked in. Williamson gone just need to pick up Latham and we're back in the game.

 

[QalandarFan]

If we can get 2/3 more wickets before they get to 150 we will be in a great position.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

common azhar bowl leg spin today

 

[Aman]

Count out the india ones , you cant really compete there. Otherwise they havent been that bad.

Smashed in SA and smashed against Aus (home and away).

They are 100% mediocre.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Almost 3 maidens in a row !!! Good little pressure buildup by Imran and Amir !!

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

And Taylor hits a

 

[pakistanisgreat]

444444444

 

[pakistanisgreat]

usually we get a wicket between 110 to 120..let see if we get one today

 

[pakistanisgreat]

shabash boys

 

[pakistanisgreat]

i am sensing a wicket here

 

[Aman]

Sun out again.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

out ho jio bhai logo

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Sun out again.

If sun out that means no wicket.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Mediocre stuff from amir.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

115/2

 

[pakistanisgreat]

444444 more to imran

 

[Rayyman]

Not sure what Wahab is doing. He is not in the team to contain runs.

 

[shaz619]

Kane really looks horrible thes days.

Where have those KW fans gone who said I was wrong to call him overrated

Maybe he is a little overrated but he's is levels ahead of Kohli who has already been given the label of an ATG, KW has the burden of captaincy to yet has done well for himself; Kohli can thank the comfort of home conditions to keep his average in the 40s range. KW needs to give the strap away and focus on his batting, he can't multi-task.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

lead is 175

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor bowling from amir.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

41.3 Imran Khan to Taylor, FOUR, full and outside off, Taylor follows the ball with his hands, does not get close to the pitch. Imran grazes the outside edge, which rolls away between slips and gully

Can someone tell me why isn't the slips cordon packed.....We need wickets don't we ???

 

[shaz619]

Mediocre stuff from amir.

Absolutely terrible, am fed up of Amir [MENTION=3474]TalhaSyed[/MENTION] the guy should retire already. We need his legendary gimmick of them epic performances intact his short lived mythical status is being destroyed, these are just too many shots to the body we can no longer absorb.

 

[Aman]

I would trade Kane for Kohli in a heartbeat.

GOAT tier in ODIs and on his way to becoming a Test ATG.

 

[JibranAnsari]

and 4

 

[pakistanisgreat]

amir needs a break

it wouldn't have carried, it was one of those edges that slips get on the bounce.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Game's slipping away lads !! Needless to say we need a miracle now.......

However, what I want from our batsmen come the 4th Innings is to actually go for the target whether it would be possible or not ..... Even if it's around 300ish with 2 sessions, I want the lads to go for it !!

A Two year streak and a near 30 year old record is on the line......

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistani bowlers unable to hit the seam.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Taylor is aggressive again.

Azhar GLORIOUS Ali will play a blinder tomorrow and keep our record intact, we will win by 10 wickets and Sami Aslam will remain unbeaten on 10* at the other end

 

[JibranAnsari]

Time for wahab to get phaintified

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Wahab is on

 

[Aman]

Lead close to 200, they should start hitting out from 270-280.
